The game starts playing a short piece of audio on a loop. The switch matrix is clean and swapping in spare sound boards (with the game's own ROMs) doesn't help.
Sound loops over and over: reburn the sound ROMs even if they verify
Cause: One of the sound ROMs (AROM2) had gone bad.
Checks
- Swap the sound boards but keep the game's ROMs: if the fault stays, suspect the ROMs.
- Verify each ROM against the correct files.
Fix
- Reprogram (or replace) the faulty sound ROM; here AROM2 fixed it.
