Assuming you're using FS9 .... and assuming you're using the Panels we offer also ....

Where have you installed the FSSOUND.DLL module ?

And equally importantly .... Where have you installed the FSGAUGESOUND.DLL ?

These are 2 different panel modules .... which must be installed in 2 different destination folders .... as explained per the installation instructions

If one has difficulty following the installation instructions provided within the ZIP files (although these "are" pretty clear and straight-forward and explain the above details) .... then .... refer to the simplified/clarified installation instructions contained within our following linked forum based online DC-9 manual ....
tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/3435/hjg-panel-installation-handling-notes

See PP1 .... Sections 6, 7, 8, and 9 of the above-linked manual

I'm pretty sure you've probably got 1 of the 2 required modules folders in the wrong file .... or have missed installing one of them .... as nothing else, that I'm aware of, would result in what you describe.

Thought so .... "years of experience" you see

With regard to DC-9 panel installation .... ensure each of the following advised steps are followed "to the letter" ....

8: DC9 PANEL INSTALLATION

All HJG DC9 aircraft Panels must be installed inside the FS2004 "FSFSCONV" folder.

The FSFSCONV folder is located inside the FS2004 "AIRCRAFT" folder. This recommended FSFSCONV installation procedure is a standard HJG practice which results in more sensible panel/aircraft base pack aliasing.

The PANEL.CFG file contained inside the default Panel folder supplied with each DC9 aircraft base pack file must be aliased to the FSFSCONV folder and the appropriate DC9 aircraft type panel .... as per the following specimen/example ....

[fltsim]
alias=fsfsconv\panel.dc-9-20_JT8D-11

PLEASE NOTE .... the above specimen relates to the "DC9-20 JT8D-11" panel version only !

It is recommended that the panel ALIAS= data (presented within the installation instructions which accompany each panel file) be copied & pasted directly to PANEL.CFG files in order to avoid typographical errors.

All HJG DC9 Panel Gauges must be installed inside the FS2004 "GAUGES" folder

All HJG DC9 Panel Sounds must be installed inside the FS2004 "SOUND" folder .... not the default Sound folder inside the aircraft base pack file !

Install the "FSSOUND.DLL" file inside inside the FS2004 "MODULES" folder. The FS9.CFG file must then be located and edited to read precisely as follows ....

[OLDMODULES]
FSSound.dll=1

PLEASE NOTE .... it is recommended this edit be copied & pasted "as-is" to the FS9 CFG file in order to avoid typographical errors !

This edit is required to eliminate a harmless "Potentially Incompatible Software" warning when FS is started. If confronted with such a warning then this edit will either not have been applied at all or made incorrectly. In this case the panel can still be successfully loaded into FS upon selecting "YES" or "CONTINUE" in response to this warning.

Install the "GAUGESOUND.DLL" inside inside the "FLIGHT SIMULATOR 9" folder. No CFG editing is necessary for this file.

All as per the above-linked manual

ALSO ....

Ordinarily one can't have 2 FSSOUND.DLL's or one will overwrite the other .... use the version provided by HJG.

The FSSOUND.DLL and GAUGESOUND.DLL are "not" the same and both "must" be installed for these DC-9 panels
