If the sound board appears to boot (6 LED flashes) and no sound even when pressing the self-test button on it,
issue might be with U8 chip on it, a DAC AD7533.

Googling highlighted a Design issue and correction:

I am fixing a Special Force with a similar Sounds Deluxe sound board issue
(board appears to boot, voltages OK, amp, volume control & speaker work, capacitors OK but no sound).

Awaiting for chips I ordered a week ago to see if it will recover sounds.
Maybe a similar issue with your machine.

Replacement DAC AD7533JN chips received at home today. Special Force sounds are working now !
I have another chip available for your Party Animal sound board to see if it has the same issue.
We also need to cut/remove one capacitor on the sound board as part of the fix (done on Special Force).
