Farish 08 sounds lost

[Si.T]

Greetings all,

I'm seeking help to try and restore the sound to a Farish Bachmann sound fitted 08 belonging to a friend.

Previously I've adjusted the pickups and had it running beautifully with all the sounds functioning.

My friend has asked me to check it again as the sounds have disappeared, I have cleaned all the wheels and adjusted the pickups and have it running well both under DC and DCC but the loco remains silent.

Under DCC the loco responds to the F2 brake function but to none of the sound functions, we both have limited DCC knowledge so are not really sure what to do next.

Is it possible my friend has unwittingly switched off the sound functions?

Is it that the speaker has been blown?

Or have the sounds been wiped from the chip?

Any suggestions/advice gratefully received.

Regards
Si.T

Some sound decoders do have a "sound off" or "mute" function, you'll need to look up the specifications for whatever decoder is fitted?
