Before upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 x64 I was able to allocate Sound to the Default Speakers and Voices to seperate Headphones, enabling me to hear ATC more clearly. Now however I have W7-64 and also installed Radar Contact and despite my `phones being recognised in the Options/sound/voices all sounds continue to come thru the main speakers alone.I would appreciate it anyone has some adviceMany thanksGeorge

George, I don't use Radar Contact (I use VOXATC) but here's how I do it.1. Set up your flight in FSX.2. Be sure in the sound options of FSX you have designated what your default sound device is (where you want the engine sounds to come from) and designate your voice device (headset)3. Right click on the speaker icon in your taskbar, click on playback devices, highlight headset earphone, the click on set default, click OK.4. Start Radar Contact.That's the system I use and it works very well.

Try the RC4 forums. I found this in a few moments.http://forum.avsim.n..._1#entry1987681What I've found is this:http://www.indievolume.com/This looks to be one of the only ways to accomplish your goal.

Better yet, in FSX.Settings>Sounds>Sounds Dropdown [under Windows sound devices]>Select your speaker system. Click OkayClose FSX and plug in your headset.Go to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Sound. Right click the headset you just plugged in and then left click "Set as default device"I'm not an RC4 user, but I'm confident this will work.Sorry Mike. This is what you suggested. :(

Thanks Guys - I tried out your ideas but unfortunately I am still only able to get all sound thru the main speakers despite my Headphones being recognised by FSX in the SoundVoice menu.Guess I`ll have to put up with it for nowRegardsGeorge

RC4 is not sending sound through FSX. It's sending sound directly to your selected sound device.Either way, apparently RC4 can be networked through a client PC. In the mean time, I sure hope you've asked in the Radar Contact forum...

I have always plugged a USB headset in when I want to achieve this effect and never had a problem.

Thanks Zac - I have written RC4 forum and await their commentsGeorge

Perhaps have a read of this article, along with related forum posts, may be of some help :-http://www.simpilotn...id=24&Itemid=32
