Take some free advice and avoid any MRC sound decoder. They have a history of failure after only a short time of use.

Sound Synchronization isn't an issue with diesel Loco's. Stick with QSI or Tsunami and you'll be happy

I am going to second this vote for QSI or Tsunami.  Those two are the best choices.
