Getting the Q-sound on a cps2 to work

[Dewclaw]

I was reading Chris Mullins' CPS2 faq and it says that you can get a better effect out of hooking up speakers to their respective jack on the A board. I have some speakers from an old surround sound system that look like they should work(the basic red and white sound plugs) but when I plug them into the board I get nothing. Is a capcom cab wired specially for q-sound, and I don't get it because I'm using a standard JAMMA harness that outputs through the cab speakers?

Can't recall, but you may need to change something in your setup menu (maybe: Mono -> Q Sound). Also, there's volume adjust on the side of yer CPS2 mobo.

The sound is unamplified, the same as the output on a cd player..
you need to go through a stereo amp before the speakers...

Yea you need an amp, and then change the settings in the test menu. Also the volume needs to be cranked because the signal is very low.

So that's how it has to be. Thanks guys! You'd think that since the mobo is hooked up to power anyway it'd power the speakers too
