poliss Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 What controller do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The necessary CVs involved will all be spoken to in the instructions that came with the loco and may even be available as a download from tHe Horbny support area for sound locos Instruction sheets if you know which Locksound decoder version it is.

Howbi Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hi Jeb, in your loksound instruction manual you will probably find at the end of the list of CV's that CV63 is to adjust sound volume. 0=low, 64=max. So if you have the Elite controller you could reduce the volume by changing CV63 on your programming track to a lower setting than the present one. Loksound list a class31 fitted with V3.5 decoder.HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2e0dtoeric Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Which is why Poliss asked what controller he has. If a Select, he probably can't change the volume! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliss Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Exactly 2e0. No point telling him until we know if he has a controller that can alter CV63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Oh, right, I'll think twice before making a contribution in future, only trying to help. HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliss Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Oh for emoticons. I was only making an observation howbiman, not having a go at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeb51260 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I have an Elite controller and the decoder was factory fitted. My fault for not explaining this in the original post. Thanks to all who replied.No instructions but the seller has confirmed that it is CV63 so particular thanks to howbiman. Please continue to make contributions - it was helpful.

Howbi Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Thanks for your reply, jeb. I found a couple of my sound fitted diesel locos to be rather loud at first then the novelty wore off so CV63 got turned down. HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morairamike Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Oh dear, that is what's wrong with Forums, you ask a simple question and get a myriad of replies when the answer is CV63How do any of you know that he wasn't just curious, maybe he didn't even have a DCC set up and it was for a friend. Just answer the question, no need for a gestapo interrogation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2e0dtoeric Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 On the other hand, MM, he could have been told to alter CV63, and then we get a post saying he can't access it. That would then trigger a barrage of (helpful) advice on how to find it, and then be told that he has a Select!You win some, you lose most of them! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I'm sure most of us welcome a bit of banter with a smile :-) HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliss Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Not all controllers can alter the sound volume. Not all decoders have the sound volume changed using CV63.Nobody was being interrogated. Just like to know what equipment a user has before giving advice. Could have just said alter CV63 to find they have a Select or other basic controller. Also possible that the previous owner had replaced the sound decoder with a different make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
