Maybe this commit is the cause: - 6833: sound/es5506.cpp: Use device_memory_interface for samples; audio/taito_en.cpp: Implemented device_mixer_interface. [cam900] Anyway some effects in 0.224 still sound low, like the oil barrel when hits the ground at the boss 1 fight. Regarding music at stage 2, I don't fell any difference in current Mame nightly build from yesterday.

The video only outputs one channel of audio for trying to determine mixing/volume levels is difficult. Can you find another PCB or arcade recorded with L+R? I can detect, however, a very small drop in sample playback volume between certain days - judging from the sound effects played after starting the game (steps and the punch). It has nothing to do with the PR mentioned earlier as samples are played with a MSM5205, not a ES5506.

No.18702 StHiryu Tester Apr 15, 2021, 17:53	The video "First play at the arcade . Double Dragon" provided by Alex7 is the closest to the effects in 0.224, especially considering the sound of the barrel hitting the ground in the final fight of stage 1.
No.21288 Augusto Tester Apr 7, 2023, 14:57	That topic is about wrong sound volume ?
No.23138 StHiryu Tester 17 days ago	@hap Since you've been lately playing with sound volumes, anything can be done about this? Seems the video from @Alex7 is a good reference.
No.23139 hap Developer 16 days ago	Yeah, MSM volume was too low.
No.23141 ICEknight Tester 16 days ago edited on: 16 days ago	Would it be possible to apply this fix globally so that all the other affected games/systems will be fixed too? https://mametesters.org/view.php?id=8002
No.23142 hap Developer 15 days ago	I assume the OKI chip volumes were lowered since their max volume was higher than 1.0? It sucks though that Aaron didn't correct the volume balance in drivers afterwards.
