Sometimes no sound is played and sometimes only on the master CS3 and not on CS3+. Further I don't know how if sounds can be played on specific CS3's and how to do so? (I have also tried all combinations of internal and external loudspeakers and none). Looking forward if some of you have some tips. Br Joakim

I have no experience between the master CS3 and the Slave CS3. My advice is to check the event conditions associated to the Sound playing. Does it work in manual mode all the time? Cheers Jean

For instance to wait for a contact track to be triggered so that the train does not pass the contact track before th event is waiting for it…. To omit this I put all sounds in its own event. In main event I just insert the icon for the event with the sound.. and set this icon to immediately go to next command/icon. Cs3 will then proceed with main event while processing the sound event in parallell with all sound. Regards Thor Inge

Cheers Jean Hi Jean For the time being there is no sound at all. Not in manual mode and not when I drive trains in mfx+ mode (the Sifa warning fx). So something very strange has happened! I'll normally would say this is a HW fault, but as both CS3 and CS3+ has no sound I guess it's a SW bug or a setting that is wrong. I have also rebooted and updated SW and no effect Cheers Joakim

It is rather likely a configuration issue One test you can do is fist to check if you can hear your sound file on your CS3 - select EVENTS - select EDIT - create a new event - select ADD You have a screen like this (note: in my case this is a CS3 60226 and here the Link88 is not connected so the red-background DELAYED) Then by pushing SOUND FILES you have a screen like this Then, by selecting a sound (either on the CS3 or on an external memory (in my case an SD memory plugged into the CS3) then you can hear the sound directly on the internal loudspeaker. Of course, make sure the AUDIO volume is not set to 0 and that the Audio Playback source INTERNAL is checked You may reach the screen by selecting - System settings - Setting CS3 I hope this helps Jean

I can further add that when I manually activates sounds (just like you illustrate above) the reed curser just moves fast over the sound containers and no sound is played. For the time being this is a permanent situation, so for now I believe it's a fault in my system or it's a strange bug from Märklin in the latest SW update. Have i nice pre-X-mas Joakim
