Lionel FlyerChief Sound Problem

MW Mike WestOGR Forum Member

Merry Christmas to all.  Not urgent, but I have a Lionel FlyerChief Berkshire that the sound volume is barely audible, until recently it ran and sounded great.  The chuff sound is particularly weak.  I have tried adjusting and resetting both the FlerChief control and using the Bluetooth I-Phone option without success.  Everything else seems good.  I welcome any thoughts.  Thanks, in advance.  [I originally posted several days ago in S Scale Forum, but only one response which was to replace the speaker.  Given the controls and Bluetooth I-Phone are similar I believe and made by Lionel, I was hoping someone here might be able to guide me.]  Mike

Mike's Berkshire is quiet, but mine will not shut up!

A Christmas gift from my wife was a FlyerChief Berkshire with Rail Sounds, etc. It is brand new, box never opened, and ordered from one of the largest and well-respected Lionel retailers. Product number 6-44021, catalogued in 2017 v.2. Of course, it's out-of-warranty. Well, on the track in both conventional and remote modes, as soon as power is applied it begins to shout "N157, N157, N157...7" and will not be quiet until it's running at a fast (too fast) speed. I have changed-out transformers (all yielding the required voltage) and still it will not shut-up. I did see a tip somewhere that a reset could be done by holding down all 3 sound buttons and cycling the power. No luck.

Any thoughts or tips?   THANKS
