Using the default ATC in FSX I am able, by selecting Default Speakers for Sound and a USB Headset for Voice, to have engine and external sounds played thrumy speakers and the ATC voices thru my headset. This enables ATC to be clear and understandable.However, when I run RC4 I still get the ATC voices played thru the Speakers Can anyone advise me how to replicate the standard setup ?Many thanksGeorge

At this point RC uses the default sound device so it's the speakers in your case (and mine). What I do to get RC4 to the headset is to select the speaker device in FSX. Note this is NOT the default device. In the dropdown list there will be another entry for the speakers. Select that as it tells FSX to use the speakers no matter what the default device is.Then using your control panel change the default device to Headset. Go fly - RC4 will now be on the headset and FSX on the speakers. In Windows 7 you'll have a volume control in the mixer for RC4 one it starts running so you can control the volume to it.Change back to speakers when you are done flying. Hopefully one of the future RC versions will let us select the output device.

Hi,I'd like to reinforce this request. It would be really nice to have the option to redirect the sound output from RC to another sound card. Right now it's quite difficult to understand the ATC, especially with some of my add-on aircraft, quite noisy in the cockpit. The workaround with FSX is possible, but has to be done everytime we start FSX and undone after we close it. It's just no right.Regards,Marconi

Many thanks Chum - I followewd your advice and it worked just fine. Like you I hope the guys at RC4 read this thread and can make the necessary mods for v5.0BTW just one thing I haven`t sorted is the volume control for RC4. Can you clarify just where I find itMany thanksGeorge

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />/quote]You're very welcome.I run Win7 and if I bring up the mixer panel from the system tray (right click, open volume mixer) it has a volume control for each app. I notice it may not appear immediately until RC starts using the sound. On Vista, XP, you may just have to use the master volume control.<br />
