John, would changing the sound file risk the 5V board in any way? I'd rather do as little handling of the board as possible, some they're liable to blow up at the slightest provocation as far as I can tell from these boards.

Not any more than running it. OTOH, I didn't see the file in 5V form when I looked on MTH, so maybe that's not an option.

I have a 5 volt board that has smoked twice already and is still useable. (Front and rear lighting circuits blew). Maybe this one has nine lives? Now using the interior light circuit for headlight and tapped off the motor for reverse light. Always fun to tinker.

The lighting FET's are not that hard to replace, even on the 5V boards.
