I've been fixing up a 512 and trying various old 400k software disks. Several "guided tour" disks boot up and run, but are completely silent. They act like there should be a narrator, either someone's sampled voice or Macintalk explaining the action. The 512 always gongs on startup, the control panel shows a non-zero volume, the beep tone works properly, and Pina's test program verifies all 4 voices produce normal sine wave sounds. Jam Session runs and produces music, so I believe the hardware is fine.
The disks are all from 1984, and include "a guided tour of macintosh", "macwrite - macpaint a guided tour", and "macdraw a guided tour". Do these guided tours use some kind of sound programming that only worked on the 128? Maybe some special version of Macintalk?
