Digitrax SoundBug question?

Model Railroader Electronics and DCC
1

I’m using the Digitrax Soundbug for Mechanical Refrigerator sounds in two reefers.

I customized some sounds and loaded them fine. And they both work. But one of them is odd.

In order for the sounds to start on the odd reefer, I must first call up its DCC address.

The other one goes on as soon as I apply power to the track.

Both are using the exact same setup created in SPJ Helper.

Is there a way to configure the CV’s of a SoundBug to ensure it goes on when track power is applied so I don’t have to call up its DCC address?

Strange that one doesn’t need to be called up in order to work and the other one does.

You probably have the one selected someone and not actually dispatched away, so packets are being sent to it. Without modifying the actual sound project, the sounds don;t start up until at least oen DCC packet is addressed to the decoder. If you set CV11 to 0, it will then continue to make sounds until the track power is shut off, even if no other commands are ever sent. But there needs to be one command to “wake it up” first.
