It sounds like you are not operating the switch in the right way.
If we say the switch has three positions:
Position 1 is away from you
Position 2 is centred
Position 3 is towards you
Position 1 is the activation position, Position 2 is the neutral position, and Position 3 is the selection position.
The switch should always be in Position 2 unless you are changing or playing a the sound.
Sound Number 1 - Engine
From Position 2 move the switch to Position 3 and back to Position 2.
Try not to do it too quickly or too slowly, as this can confuse the sound card.
You will get a feel for it once you have the sounds playing as you want them.
This is a count of 1, which selects Sound Number 1, which is engine start/stop but it does not activate it.
To activate this sound, move the switch from Position 2 to Position 1 and back again once. The engine sound should start.
If you move the switch to Position 1 and back again for a second time, the engine sounds will stop.
Sound Number 2
This is usually an engine revving sound, which should be played when the engine is already running.
From Position 2 move the switch to Position 3 and back to Position 2 twice.
This is a count of 2, which selects Sound Number 2 but does not activate it.
To activate this sound, move the switch from Position 2 to Position 1 and back again once. The sound will be played once.
If you move the switch to Position 1 and back again for a second time, the sound will be played again.
Sound Number 3
This is usually the main gun firing sound.
From Position 2 move the switch to Position 3 and back to Position 2 three times.
This is a count of 3, which selects Sound Number 3 but does not activate it.
To activate this sound, move the switch from Position 2 to Position 1 and back again once. The sound will be played once.
If you move the switch to Position 1 and back again for a second time, the sound will be played again.
The rest of the sounds work in exactly the same way, so four times for sounds four, five times for sound five etc.
You may find the switch works the other way round, so Position 1 is towards you, but the method is the same, just swap Position 1 and Position 3 in the instructions above.
