Ok I removed the dive sounds and deleted the presets and samples folders. I went ahead and followed the install process on the thread for beginners by vpmedia.

So I first installed the 409_MOD_b1m.exe; then the MOD_Activator_v5_2_IL2_4_08.exe. I then installed the Eng Sound Mod version 090 then Sabre engine sounds and then the Dive Sounds per install instructions for each. On the Dive Sounds install it asked what Mod version so I chose Mod Activator.

mod activator needs to be installed only if you don't want new sounds or if you are installing SFX version ...
if you have sound mods 90 ...9.3 you don't need mod activator !

As you have installed sound mod 9.0 as last one you need to choose that version when asked in any further mod installer
