Sound problem with MTH Santa Fe F-3 Diesel Engine #32L

30-20158-1 from 2013.  Today when running this engine the sound quit.  It came back on, but was filled with static.  The horn worked, so the speaker appears to be good.  I tested the sound pot with an ohm meter and it shows an up and down range, so I assume that the pot is good.  I checked for loose connections.  Overall volume is much lower than normal and can't be raised with pot or remote.  The static drowns out all prime mover sounds.  Am I looking at a failure in a board component?  What are my options for repair?

NOTE FROM MODERATOR:  This post was moved to the proper MTH forum since it clearly is not a post about a traditional toy train but specifies a MTH product thus is an MTH discussion topic.
