Sounds play but the wrong ones.
The wrong sounds or tunes play
Cause: Sound board option switches, a stuck sound select line (S1, S2, S4, S8), or the sound, driver or control board.
Checks
- Check the sound board option switches.
- With a logic probe, check that the S1, S2, S4 and S8 select inputs to the sound board all pulse when sounds are called.
Fix
- A line that never pulses points to the driver board inverter or the control board; if all pulse, replace the sound board.
