Hi Howard,The NGX was predominantly developed for Stereo usage, as the Surround Sound implementation in FSX is very basic.MS did not implement Surround Sound in the outside view at all and in the cockpit it is pretty basic stuff - the FSX engines come out of the rear speakers while the FSX wind and environment sounds come out of the front speakers.Personally I prefer Stereo only , but some do like the engines playing back from behind them!

You are correct - this affects all FSX aircraft. If you are in surround mode with surround speakers, by default the engines only playback from the rear speakers - only when you turn your head left or right in the cockpit then FSX plays back the engine sounds in the front speakers as well.This is the way MS programmed it - So if you want the engines to play from the front speakers all the time for any aircraft in FSX you must turn off surround mode on your soundcard in Windows.

Extremely helpful Armen. For ages I have been trying to get the sound to play in 5.1! For some reason this is how I understood it should be played. Now I know that stereo is in fact the correct setting, it all makes sense, cheers. :(

Great!!!I solved: i did like you had suggested and it was ok, then i tried to set 5.1 again but with "ambient sound effect" and it's still ok!!!Thank you very much!!!

Hi Armen and others guys!In these two days i have tested my headphones Logitech G35 with on and off 7.1 mode and i haven't had cockpit sounds but just the engines...could you help me?Thanks!

Giuseppe,Goto the FMC / Sound options and make sure the soundcard device selected there is the one you are currently using - pay attention to which channel you are selecting there as you have many outputs for your 7.1 soundcard.

I set the device that i'm using, but the problem still remains...

Today i've resetted on page "pmdg setup" of Fmc the sound device and all cockpit sounds had disappeared! How many strange things are happening regarding sounds on my ngx...Could somebody help me?!Ps: i tried with "q" switch but nothing really happened...

Giuseppe, did you press 'Q' twice?

I use stereo mode (4 channel) , a old Creative Cambridge Soundworks soundbox.I hear all sounds, no problems sound, alias 0 problems with NGX.João Alfredo

Giuseppe, did you press 'Q' twice?

Yes, i did...:-(

All I can suggest is:a ) Uninstall the NGX.b ) Manually delete this folder: ...Microsoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XPMDGPMDG 737 NGXc ) Reinstall your soundcard driver.d ) Reinstall Direct X.e ) Reinstall the NGX.

Since I installed SP1c I too have no engine sounds for the 700/800/900 NGX, but have them for the 600. All other cockpit and external noises seem to be working including switches, ground roll, spoilers, and some of the reverse thrust sound. I have not altered any settings on my computer or within FSX. I've looked at the config and sound files and didn't see anything incorrect or missing and have verified sound card settings are correct (and have pressed "Q" to reset sounds). I also reinstalled Direct X. Anyone have suggestions before I try reinstalling what Armen suggests and/or submit a ticket to the PMDG folks?Pete

Guys, we all have to ask to Pmdg people we had no any sound problem since Sp1c releasing and what happened with Sp1c and we lost engine sounds?Until Sp1c I was hearing all sounds selected 5.1 and if most people having this problem now that means the problem with Sp1c and Pmdg people must say somethings about it!
