I have VISTA Extreme Ultimate 64, FSX and Radar Contact. All current versions.My question is how do I get Radar Contact voice to come thru my headset and not my speakers. Using FSX ATC the sounds come thru the speakers and ATC voice come thru my headset. I can't get that to work the same way with Radar Contact. Radar Contact ATC and Pilot voice and sound come thru my speakers. Nothing thru the headset.What do I have to do to make it work?Thanks to all who reply.Bill

there are several ways. search the forum for headphones, i don't remember off the top of my head.jd

JD,I did search the forum and the ones I found were a couple of years back and for either FS 2004 or XP not VISTA. That is why I created a new post. Hoping for some answer that was current.I'll look again.Thanks.Bill

JD,It doesn't look like you can use a USB headset running RC on the same computer and get ATC from the headset. Running RC on another computer with WideFS doesn't work for me. I guess I don't understand why the same sound setup that works with FSX ATC doesn't work with RC ATC. Not complaining just a question.Thanks.Bill

rc only knows about the default sound device.can you make the default sound device the headphones, and then make all of the fsx sound come through the speakers?

JD,I'll give it a try and let you know.Thanks.Bill

maybe try opening FSX, and load your flight with your default sounds. Then go to your Vista control center and change the default sound to your usb headset, then start RC see if that works. I run FS9 and XP. Thats the way I do it, not sure if it will work with your set up. its worth a shot.

Bill,I don't know if you've solved this one yet, but I did it as follows: Control Panel -> Speech Recognition -> Text to Speech -> Advanced -> Use this audio output device,then select the USB audio device from the dropdown box.Dugald

Any chance that there will be setting in RC5 to use non-default sound card if available?

That's what you have to do. You can leave FSX sounds on speakers - choose speakers, not the default audio device or the sound will go to the headset. Then from the audio control panel set the headset to be the default device. FSX will put it's sounds to the speakers and RC will show up on the headset. My headset is non-usb and works like a charm.
