I recently downloaded The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past on my virtual console and noticed that the sound quality had been significantly diminished. The background music plays dimmer and the sound effects are often faded. A lot of the sound effects are missing or really faded, such as the sounds of breaking a jar or defeating an enemy. At times, just walking to different posistions on the screen causes the sound effects to get louder or more silent. I had the original Super NES cart and it was not like that before.

Is everyone having this issue, or is there something wrong with mysound configuration?

That's odd, I never noticed any issues with my VC copy.

First I would check your AV cables and make sure that the sound is plugged in all the way and is plugged into the right spot. Then I would try playing a different game that you kno the sounds on, like you do in ALTTP. If that still fails, i'd re-download zelda from the VC and see how that treats you. If your still having problems, call nintendo! =]

There shouldn't be any problems. I have and played the VC version all the way to completion. It actually sounded better than the original because I have my Wii sounded through a 5.1 surround sound system.

ALttP has one of the best VG soundtracks so I would have noticed the audio if it was amiss.

Like someone else said, check your AV cables and speakers.

Thanks for the input that everyone has contributed. I'm just glad to know that I didn't pay for aport with inferior sound quality. My wii sound settings (and connection) are fine, so I'll experiment with my television's settings later.

VC games aren't really ports, they're copies of the original cartridge ROMs.

Which stinks because it means that us PAL users still get games like Sonic the Hedgehog that run with borders and at a slower pace.
