i didn't have to dig deep at all, just used the search *shock* and this was the best match. unfortunately it only helped me realize that i should have done more research before putting down the $200.greedostick said:WOW! you dug deep to get this thread.
my old duo had the same exact problem. except mine would play the cd music when it felt like it. pretty ghey.

twalden said:Does this problem also occur with the Duo-Rs and RXs? I've had sound problems with two Duos before but never with my current Duo-RX system or Duo-R that
I had a few years back. Just wondering.
yeah, that's true. i'm just being cynical cause i don't have any kick-ass games yet (ninja masters (hucard), and dungeon explorer 2(CD) are in the mail). i always take very good care of my systems, always hold reset when powering off, or open the lid to stop the disc from spinning, or whatever the user manual recommends.greedostick said:nah, duo's are well worth buying. you just have to get a good one. you have to take really good care of duo's. and the problem is most people when they receive one, it was not taken very good care of. alot of people like to forget to close the cd lid or open the lid before it stops spinning. you should always hold run and select to put on the brakes.
yes, i will be checking out your FAQ, extensively, since the game i bought is the japanese one. i don't know what i would be able to contribute, but if i see something, i'll drop you a line.greedostick said:yeah, that's true. i'm just being cynical cause i don't have any kick-ass games yet (ninja masters (hucard), and dungeon explorer 2(CD) are in the mail).
well, dont forget to check out my dungeon explorer 2 faq on www.gamefaqs.com
maybe you can contribute a little. also the beginning of dungeon explorer 2 has 2 introductions at the beginning. wait for the 2nd.

ChopperCharles said:Replacing my Duo is not an option. Several years ago I modded my Duo with a switch (8P2T) so that I can play US or Japanese Hu's without the need of a converter. The wiring was intense to say the least, and I trouble shooted a lot of problems with interference and just shit not working right before I got everything working correctly. I really, REALLY don't want to do that again... and I can't find a source for those switches anymore either.

Agreed or Youkai if you have a account at www.pcenginefx.com sell it there.greedostick said:just sell your duo on the bay. explain what the problem is. i have seen duo's on ebay where the cd system does not work at all, and have been sold for over $100
alot of people figure they can fix the system or they can just send it to turbo zone and get a new one. it's a way for someone to get a duo a little cheaper. they figure if the pay $100 for it and swap it for another one at TZD for $60 they saved over $40
if you want to play hu card imports you have to see if dean will sell you a modded one. there are so many great imports on the turbo grafx.
TZD, will not fix your system. they will just swap it for one that works and has probebly been fixed. there is a link in there website to the actual website that does this service. it costs $60. well it use to. it may be more now.
if it helps at all i had a duo with the same problem and i sold it on game tz for $90
try posting a thread here and gametz if you have an account. you never know.
His problem likely won't be solved by that fix. If all sound, including HuCard, is bad, then that likely works.Dinodoedoe said:
No solution yet.T.A.P. said:So has the sound issue been solved? I'm thinking of getting a Duo, but if system sound failure is almost garanteed with little to no hope of repair, then I may just back away.
