RCv4: Audio stops playing

[dom8984 0]

Hi,

 

I'm using RCv4 with P3D in a network configuration on a second PC (using WideFS).

 

I'm having some problems with the ATC audio, which is set to output to the network PCs built in speakers. All works well when I start a flight but at some point the audio stops playing (even though RC is still running).

 

Sometimes I can get the sound to come back by switching the output within windows to my USB headset. I'm also using Simphysics on the networked PC and sometimes closing this program mades the audio play again on the speakers - but not always. It seems as if something is causing a conflict. What I'd really like is to have the audio play via the speakers without any interruption.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Dominic

Thanks, have just downloaded and installed SWYH. It's a useful, if slightly complicated workaround - and it only works if I keep my audio output (on the PC running RCv4) set to the USB headphones.

 

I would however like to try and get to the bottom of why audio from RCv4 doesn't play through the PC speakers. I hear other PC sounds, so there's no hardware fault.

 

Thanks,

 

Dominic

RC plays via your Win WAV slider on the Win mixer. I think it was FSX that has a way to redirect your pilot headsets to a separate output so check that.

Thanks for the tip. But I'm running RCv4 on a second, networked PC rather than the one running P3D. So I don't think the P3D settings will have any effect. The wav slider doesn't appear to be muted or anything. I can hear the usual selection of windows noises even if I can't hear RCv4 sounds.
