RFM loud CRACK noise on bonuses
« on: December 19, 2012, 07:24:12 PM »
As stated, anytime a bonus is awarded EG: bonus ball, a loud Crack noise comes from the speakers regardless of volume level, it scares the crap out of you it is that loud!!!.

It has been like that since I bought it and has got to the point that my 7 y.o son won't touch it because it upsets him.
Does this happen to all RFM's or is there a fault somewhere?

Hope someone can help  ^^^

It's the extra ball "knocker" (speakers) that goes off every time you win an Extra ball (SOL hole, 50M, 200M etc) or get a match after a game.

I've got mine turned off as it was annoying me too! Messes up the audio when it goes off and just *isn't* as good as a proper knocker.  %.%

The setting for extra balls is in Adjustments -> Extra Ball -> Extra Ball Knocker

I don't think you can change the match knocker settings.

HTH

So many knockers - I feel like I'm in a Benny Hill sketch... :D

Isn't that the artificial "knocker" sound? There has been a lot of criticism of that - not sure if there was ever any "fix" - but the easiest is to remove extra ball awards etc, or, I suspect the software will enable you to turn the "knocker" off.

Yep, it is definitely the artificial knocker which can be turned off.  I am pretty sure I did have it turned off and with the updated software it would have defaulted to being on again.  Personally I would turn it off and leave it off, it is crap and sounds like something has broken.  As mentioned above, it is easily turned off.

Goldeneye is actually louder then AFM Scares the shit out of new players. It also uses the virtual Knocker, sounds like a gun shot.
