HO / Bachmann DD40AX w/sound value decoder
April 03, 2016, 12:36:53 AM
Hello,  I have the Bachmann DD40AX with the sound value decoder, my issue is the volume of the prime mover's, bell and horn can not be adjusted even the master volume I have set the corresponding CVs above the default settings to no avail. other sound value engines are much louder in all aspects. I checked speaker wires and all seem to be connected. what is the next course of action. thanks >:( :'(

Hello
I have a Bachmann DD40AX sound value Engine, The issue I have is the sound of the horn and prime movers is very low compared to the bell sound, even after changing the CVs I can't seem to increase the horn or prime mover volume, but I can increase or decrease the bell volume I have tried the master volume CV and the volume does not increase. what if any thing am i missing?

Thanks

Wondering if Bachmann would consider producing a GP15-1 (Frisco version) In the Wisconsin Northern version Road # 1501 and 1502, These are used in the sand industry.

I have a new Bachmann DD40AX with sound, it worked perfect out of the box, but now it runs and all the lights work fine but the sound keeps shutting off while standing still, it did not do this at first, but as soon as i move the throttle in restarts the sound, I am using a Digitrax Zephr extra.
