Sound Board

There should be a SS (signal sounds)/ RS (railsounds) switch. Put in SS. mode and you will kill the engine sounds .

The engine sounds can be turned down/off using the TMCC or Legacy controllers, I don't see provisions for the switch that used to be on the old Railsounds 4 boards for turning off the background sounds.

I do not have either TMCC or Legacy controllers.  Is there another way to turn it off?

You might drop Scott Mann of ERR and ask him if there is a way do disconnect the motor sounds on your board.  It may require a jumper cable not covered in the wiring diagram. There is probably a way.

I got a reply back from Scott Mann he told me to his knowledge there is no way to turn the sound off other then TMCC.  So I will learn to love the sound.

I would have bet money on that as when he got the ERR line, all he got was the existing documentation and where to order the boards.  I believe all the RS-Lite boards dispensed with the switch provisions that allowed you to silence the prime mover/chuff sounds.

He told me that the old boards had a switch on them that allowed you to silence the prime mover/cuff sounds.  New generation of command boards do not have that option.
