UMK3 - What's with the sound ???!!!
PATRICK MASAO HORIO
or if there's something wrong with my Saturn or whatever, but when
I play UMK3 on the Saturn, the game is constantly cutting the sound
samples off too early or simply not playing them at all. Sometimes,
it sounds as if one sound sample begins playing before the one before
it has stopped, thus muffling the sample. I've played the PSX version
and I did not notice these problems on the PSX version of MK3.
Now, considering that the Saturn is supposed to have such an awesome
sound chip, what's going on here???
I do realize that most of the samples are stored on the CD as regular
audio tracks (like the PSX version) but the PSX version, as I've said
before, didn't have the amount of audio problems that I've heard
when playing the Saturn version.
Also, 4 of the tracks on the CD have the announcer saying "Round 1",
"Round 2", etc. However, I've yet to hear these announcements during
an actual game. What gives?
I'd appreciate any info as I'd like to know if I have a defective
copy of the game or a problem with my system (which seems doubtful,
considering all my other games seem to work fine...).

trouble with the voices. The announcer voice isn't very loud and when you win
the match you can hardly hear him say Kitana Win's, Fatality. It kinda makes me
mad.

I don't know, I've been playing my copy for two days now and the
sound is fine.

I'd be mad too. I haven't picked this game up yet, but I will as soon as
EB gets more in. I've seen other posts about the volume levels varying
widely during the game. And another poster also had sound samples being
cut off sometimes. Man, how could they screw up the sound? To me the
sound is a critical part of MK. First we get MKII which leaves out lots of
sounds/voices and now it seems like UMK3 has some sound problems of a
different sort. What is it about these companies, can't we have a bug free
sound version of MK on the Saturn? Sheesh.
I'm still gonna get the game but if the sound pisses me off too much I'm
going to take it back.

This was one of the biggest problems I've had with the game, on top f the
hyper-Motaro. :)

I've noticed sound samples getting cut off at various times as well. The
announcer is barely audible at all over the other noises and music, and
there's no way to adjust the volume of the announcer (only the music). In
addition, there's no "Round 1" announcement before the match, and half the
time he doesn't say "Fight!". When you do a Mercy, there's no voice saying
"Sonya shows Mercy" either.
Strange enough, when you listen to the CD tracks, all of these different
sayings and voices can be heard. It's odd that they're not used during the
game.

It's not the sound that'll piss you off...Motaro will! :)

I am told that if you go to the Saturn settings and set the sound from
Stereo to MONO this will fix the problems.
