OpenTX 2.2 Sound Packs
Official sound packs are obtained from Companion > File > Download
There is now a version file that is checked to help determine that the firmware and sound pack match. No more wrong units due to mismatched firmware and sound files. Checks for the existence and content of opentx.sdcard.version in the root os the SD Card. You can still use your own files but make sure you have this file.

Additional sound packs posted.
