Thanks Thalamus.
I’d love to give it a try, but I don’t understand how to do any of that other than downloading and installing it.
I re-read stampedem’s response and didn’t understand how to use EQAPO to adjust channels, etc. and unplugging lines, etc. Maybe he was talking about speakers actually connected via jacks to sound card in computer?
I have wireless/bluetooth speakers, so I’m not hard wired to sound card. All that worked perfectly until it decided not to. And it STILL works with all VP8, VP9 and Future Pinball.

I’m sorry, Terry. You and I have started a discussion under Future Pinball and BAM mega guide page that’s solving the problem…………and it’s working. I really, really appreciate it. I’ve been dealing with this through 3 installs and 3 months.

You said when I first watching your essentials video, don’t think you are going to just sit back and play. You have to understand, I believed you and it’s sure been the case with me. I really appreciate your patience and sticking with me on this.
OK, you’re a genius. Doing the windows + P and setting the monitor in front of me, which is monitor 1 in windows setting worked. Backglass didn’t show at first, but did on second try everything worked exactly the way I want/expect it to. Everything is playing on the monitor in front of me just like it should with pup packs running as they should……at least the ones I checked.
When I do that, video/rendering options shows only display 2 as an option. If I do the windows +P trick and select the other monitor, the monitor selection is blank in fploader video/rendering options and only has display 2 as an option. Did that out of curiosity.
Do I just settle for that as a solution? While it does give me a solution to the situation that I can definitely live with, it doesn’t solve the problem of why FP interprets monitors exactly the opposite of what widows identifies them of.

Thanks Terry. It’s not enabled in FP Video Settings and Windows Text scaling is set to 100 on both monitors.
If I switch the FP Video Settings to Monitor 2 I can hear the game playing but can’t see it. I can see the backglass which is interesting because if I do the same thing with JAWS, I can hear everything, but can’t see a thing.
Why does it all work in visual pinball, but not in future pinball, I wonder.

Backglass and Arcade Mode in Video/rendering Options are unchecked/disabled.
Monitor is set to \\.\DISPLAY1.
The monitor in front of me is identified as Display 1 in windows as is set as my main display.
The monitor to the right of me is identified as Display 2 in windows.
With the FP monitor setting on display 1, the table plays on the monitor to the right of me which is identified as monitor 2. Everything else correctly displays on the monitor in front of me which windows identifies as display 1.
If I switch the Preference/Video/Rendering Options Monitor setting to Display 2 then play table, the fploader screen jumps over to display 2 and the table loads and I can hear it, but I can’t see anything.

Thank you for the detailed reply, stampedem. Are you running visual pinball in a cabinet? I’m running on a desktop with stereo speakers. Keep in mind that I have sound for all versions of visual pinball tables except VP10 tables. I also have sound for all Future pinball tables.
I’ve looked at the tutorial for EQAPO and I have no idea how to do what you recommend. I don’t understand what you were referring to when you say “EQAPO/Peace. The “Peace” part I don’t understand. Is that even something that might help if I’m on a desktop?
I mentioned the green lines because I’d never seen them before. Usually when I adjust volume it shows in the dmd box in orange.
I’m wondering if a total reinstall would solve the problem? I’ve spent days trying to find the solution that works.

I’m trying to run on desktop a single monitor configuration (although I actually have 2 monitors). Everything runs great except for one problem…..the table runs on one screen (not the one I want it to) and everything else runs on second screen (which is identified as screen one.
I’m on my 3rd install of everything trying to correct this problem. I thought I had followed all the guides you’ve written and all the videos. I keep thinking I’ve got to missing something, but I’ll be darned if I know what. My VPX tables run everything on one screen and the correct screen.
BAM Video/Rendering Option has “Display 1” selected. Windows 10 display setting identifies the screen in front of me as screen 1 (and selected as my main screen) Everything but the table is showing up on this table. The monitor to the right of me is setup in windows as screen 2. Just the table is running on that screen. I want everything to run on screen 1 …the monitor in front of me.
What am I missing?
Other than that, REALLY cool game though.
Thanks.

Hi Terry,
Here I am an old man trying to figure all this stuff out. I’m on my third install and I’m getting there. I do have a problem with monitors though that I’ve seen addressed somewhere but can’t find again.
Although I have two monitors on my desktop (no cabinet here….if only there was a dealer around here :)) I only want to use one. When I run my FP tables, I want them to run on what my Windows 10 system identifies as my monitor 1. I set my BAM visual preferences to play on what Windows identifies as Monitor 1. Unfortunately BAM thinks my Monitor 1 is what Windows identifies as Monitor 2. So everything is turned around.
I thought I could trick it by telling it to play on Monitor 2 but either it crashes or it goes ahead and plays on What it thinks is Monitor 1 and Windows thinks is Monitor 2? Are you dizzy yet?
Anyway, I’ve tried resetting by swapping them in windows screen setup and that doesn’t work. I’ve also tried shutting down Windows and plugging in only one monitor and then shutting it down and and installing the second monitor, but that didn’t work. I don’t think I’ve tried just going with one monitor which I don’t really want to do because I use both monitors a lot in my work.
I thought I may have seen something about doing a registry edit, but can’t find that again either.
Thank you for all the cool stuff you and everybody else is doing. Not the tables I remember as a boy, that’s for sure. MUCH BETTER and MORE FUN!

What do you do if EQAPO doesn’t fix it? Maybe I didn’t install it right. I installed and ran configurator and selected my speakers and that’s all.
I’m running windows 10. – Single screen Desktop setup of Visual Pinball and everything in between including everything I need to use PuP Packs. I have a 2 speaker Audioengine 5+ stereo system and have “Standard 2 channel” selecdted under Audio Options Multi-channel output.
All files and systems were updated last Saturday. After two months of trying, I finally had Visual Pinball running perfectly until a couple of days ago. I was started having a lot of the same problems as stampedem, except I’m not getting any sound on some VPX tables…….started out Williams and Bally tables, but I’m starting to find others. I might add that all VP8 and 9 files run perfectly even the ones that are the same pin as the VPX tables. All Future pinball tables run perfectly also. Still having a few issues with pup packs, but that’s for another day.
I’ve read every post I can find and have tried every suggestions except actually a full reinstall. One thing happened to me that I haven’t seen in any of the other posts and I’m wondering if anybody can shed some light on it.
I was installing Star Trek The Next Generation (Williams 1993). It was running fine in full screen except that the voices needed to be louder. I began to attempt to increase volume as I had done on other tables, but nothing seem to be getting me to the volume (press end, hit 9 and then 8 to increase or press 9 and then use 7 & 8 to increase volume. I, unfortunately, kept trying to get it to work by pressing key after key. All of a sudden, even thought I was running it at full screen – and while I was still in the game – all the way across the bottom of the screen a green line of vertical stripes showed up like a volume adjustment guide – sort of like l l l l l l l l l l but thicker lines. I couldn’t do anything with it and finally just exited the screen. I haven’t been able to fix it since.
Hope you all can help me. I’m 74 and trying to learn all this cool stuff. My apologies if I’m not more technical, but I’m new at this and still feeling my way through it.
Thanking you in advance for any help you might have.
