My X9D+ stopped saying "Welcome to OpenTX" upon boot. What happened?

Of course, this did not happen by itself. I've been using the Amber sound for years. I remember when we had to update because the some of the original .wav files were longer than six characters.
I added another pc, different than the one on which I normally run Companion. And then things get sketchy.
I went from having the Amber "Welcome to OpenTX" to what must be the stock version, a female voice with a British accent. I tried to correct that by deleting Sound from the sd card and transferring other versions I've saved.
Now, I have no welcome message at all, silence upon boot until a switch warning.
Firmware is opentx-x9d+
Version 2.3.15-otx
04-22-22

On the sdcard is Sounds/en (527 items) /System (193 items)

I see that some of the wave files are greater than six characters, hirat and hirates, for example, so I must have a mix of old and new. I'm not even sure the files are all Amber.
The "welcome to opentx" file is tada.wav and it resides in the system folder. What causes that file to be played upon start-up? Or, why is it not playing upon start-up?

Thanks for your input.
Don

One more thing. I don't know if this is important because I've been running the 2.3.15 firmware for awhile.
My transmitter screen states the OTX Bootloader is 2.2.2

OK, I fixed it.
I looked in an older stored Sounds directory and found the stock British accent "Welcome to OpenTX" to be hello.wav.
I went back to the transmitter Sounds/System and renamed Amber's tada.wav to hello.wav.
Tested and it works.

Does anyone have a link to a glossary of the opentx and/or Amber .wav files?
Click to expand...
In the sound/system folder of the stock sounds downloaded from OpenTX, you will find a file named similar to "en-US-taranis.csv" (may vary due to the language and transmitter type)
Can be opened with any text editor or Excel. Lists the directory, file name, and the spoken words used for everything. I believe it can be used using the TTS program distributed by OpenTX to build all the wave files - but I haven't tried that. Did parse it and used it to build my own text file (with many of my own custom additions) as a master list for TTS Automate to generate my own complete sound pack using a voice I like better. Not as nice as Amber, but hard to get Amber to recite something that only you want....
