Summary	06527: elevator: Elevator Action sound
Description	Hello, An MCU was recently added during last release as well. Perhaps this is the reason. Game: Elevator Action driver: taitosj set: elevator MAME version: Official 0.183 from official site Issue: - Insert coin sound and game music plays very loud - Sound effects are very low. Examples: - During game's opening sequence, and throughout the game, the game's sound is very low - During game play, when player jumps you cannot hear the jump sound (unless it's very low and I just cannot hear it). Troubleshooting: - deleted CFG and INI file - deleted MAME and re-downloaded official mamedev.org Thank you. Jason

No.13735 Augusto Tester Mar 28, 2017, 19:03	The dev had added MCU and sounds how if him is working in that driver. DAC is very high.

No.13779 Augusto Tester Apr 8, 2017, 23:42	DAC using high values the sound is distorted. Less of 0.40 is good. All others adjust are good and sounds how before when MCU was added.
No.14193 rcoltrane Tester Sep 25, 2017, 19:19	I've played this game yesterday and I can confirm that the sounds are messed up. At the end of the level, when you jump in the car to leave the building, the sound volume is drastically reduced when the car is drifting.
No.14424 estefan3112 Tester Nov 9, 2017, 14:43	Confirmed as well for MAME 0.191 (Mac Binary). The sound adjustments described by ozfalcon above work nicely for me, though.
No.14428 hap Developer Nov 12, 2017, 15:36	The regression was because MCFG_AY8910_OUTPUT_TYPE(AY8910_SINGLE_OUTPUT) changes volume output, and volume balance was left unchanged when that line was added.
