can i install esu factory sound file on esu 21 pin ready to programming sound decoder? or would that wreck the decoder?

Yes, that works just fine. As long as the file format matches the decoder (Select for example), you can use any file.

yup i do it cool i updated the sound files on my bowser sd40-2 and 2 intermountain locomotives. on cp es44ac with esu decoder the ditch lights flash when you sound the horn. but i use the loksound programmer to fix that. so now if i reset the cp es44ac decoder on layout cv8 v8 the ditch lights won't flash anymore witch i like.

Just changing function parameters on the programmer doesn't save it as the default setting. When you use CV8 = 8 on your DCC system, it will revert everything back to before you made any of the changes. In order for your changes to become the new factory default, you have to re-write the sound file to the decoder, not just the changes you made. When you re-write the sound file after your changes, be sure the box is checked to make the re-write the new default - it is usually checked by default. Mark. |

since i'm waiting for 21 pin main boards from intermountain, yesterday i pick up 3 esu 21 pin ready for programming decoders 73900. and today i open one up to see what it like and i saw that these decoder have speaker wire added to them. now since my intermountain engines have speakers in them dose that mean i will have to hook up wire to decoder or will sound still go though speaker that hook up to the main board once i get the new board in?

You can remove the wires from the decoder. The factory speakers are wired through the motherboard and will be connected through the 21-pin socket.

If it was me, I’d keep the wires and tie them off to t he side somewhere, you never know when you might want to use the decoder elsewhere or add your own speakers. I hate to cut, remove, shorten wires in case I screw something up and have to redo or reuse a decoder. Just my 2cents. |

If there is ever a problem with the main board, you could simply solder the speaker directly to those wires. |

so i got my intermountain decoder borads other day and install them in locomotives. then i download the sound files on esu site and wrote them on to the decoders and it all worked out. sound good. i trying to figer out setting for marker lights on my cn es44dc they seem to be on in both front and back when i press f6 key. so what settings would i set it to so they turn on in opposite direction? i did check off rule 17 reverse but nothing.

It depends on if they are actually two separate outputs, or wired to the same output.

i think there 2 different outputs aux 1.1 i think is front set of marker lights and aux 2.1 is rear marker lights.

You'll need to go in to the fu ction mapping part of the programmer, and set aux 1,1 to forward, and aux 2,1 to reverse. Currently both are set to ignore direction.
