AchimK Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hello all I have a Hattons 66 with an ESU V5 with legomanbiffo (new2020 version from dckits-devideos) and a double iphone speaker. Everything works but the drive sound is way fainter than the other sound effects. The horns blow your socks off, blimey, like Titanic parked on the driveway. I have the full function key and CV mapping and everything seems to be set to a value of 128 in the decoder (I read out the CVs). Any ideas as to what I can do to get the drive sound louder or should I just reduce the rest? There appear to be two CVs associated with F1 (sound on/off) which are 259 (I know about that one) and 419. Changing CV419 doesn's seem to do anything. Anyone knows what CV419 is for? All best wishes, stay safe and thanks for your answers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Kaput Posted February 22, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2021 Reduce the rest is about the only choice. Be aware the individual sound slot volumes on ESU are indexed CV's so unless you set the correct CV's in order you won't actually be changing what you think you are changing. It's much easier with a LokProgrammer or Decoder Pro but if those aren't an option read the helpsheet available from the dckits website very carefully on the section about volume adjustments. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Hi Achim why don't you simply set the volume CV (I think it should be (CV31=16, CV32=1) CV259) to a higher value ? CV 419 is volume slot 21 so seems to be a secondary drive sound. BTW: why don't you download the free LokProgrammer software? With that it took me 15 seconds to find out what these 2 CVs are doing.

wiggy1 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Why don't you drop Charlie or Ian an email and ask them? You know you are changing the right CV combination then. Wiggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
