PC-Engine CD-ROM² crackles/pop during music and voices but reads games fine

The CD-ROM² is an add-on attachment for the PC Engine that was released in Japan in 1988 and allows the core versions of the console to play PC Engine games in CD-ROM format in addition to standard HuCards. This made the PC Engine the first video game console to use CD-ROMs as a storage media.

PC-Engine CD-ROM² crackles/pop during music and voices but reads games fine

Post by /turboG16 »

It sounds fine when playing non CD music in games and produces same sound from headphone jack on the CD unit itself, I don't have another IFU-30 to check that either though. It's doesn't happen on soft sections of music, but medium and loud sections are bad. It sounds exactly the same when replayed too. Same spots same distortion. Is the laser or capacitors to blame?
