WHAT......say again?....I cant hear ya! lol

I now have THE coolest solution :-) :-)

 

 

Sound for everything but voice is coming out my BOSE companion speakers.

 

and

 

Voice is coming out of my HDMI connected 46" TV that I use to display the VC/outside world.

 

Awesome, independent volume control, thx Kyle,

 

PS, I don't care what the others say about you, I think you are allright ;-)

haha - you're welcome.

 

I don't either, but I suspect that's the issue entirely 

Ok Kyle, today I dont like you anymore.

 

Just kidding, but guess what.

 

FSX freezes and CTDs since changing voice to the TV.

TV is connected to NVDIA HIGH DEFINTION AUDIO.

 

Had 3 freezes within 10min after T.O.

ATC was turned off. (the point of this info follows in a sec, stby)

PC was overclocked at that point, I admit.

 

So I unclocked my BIOS.

Did the same flight and all was ok.

For more than 10min, untill I decided to reland, and get the ATIS info.

As soon as I activated the ATIS frequency, all sound through my BOSE speakers got muted and FSX frooze.

I deactivated ATIS quickly and FSX recovered!

I did this a few times...each time with the same result.

(I am pretty sure that if I would not deactivate ATIS quickly, that FSX would CTD, but I do not like CDTs so I avoided that)

 

I went into the FSX menu (in flight)/sound and changed voice to go through the BOSE speakers again and problem solved.

Tried ATIS like 5 times with no problem.

 

Went into FSX menu again and changed voice to go through the TV (on NVIDIA) again and.....yep freezes with ATC again.

 

 

So....I realize 10 tests or so is not that much, and I will try some more.....but it seems pretty clear to me.

 

I have a problem with my NVIDIA sound driver.

BOSE has its own driver under windows. It is connected via USB and has hardware in the Base box that decodes the USB info into sound.

 

No Nvidia sound driver in use = No problem.

 

Additional info that may or may not have anything to do with this:

I have an ASUS Max Formula MB and it has an AZALIA HD AUDIO CONTROLLER according to my manual.

Now I have this thing DISABLED in the BIOS, because I figured I do not need it with my BOSE speakers and less drivers in my install means less problems. The BOSE USB speakers work just fine with the AZALIA controller disabled (music/movies/etc all fine).

Even the TV connected via HDMI to the NVIDIA HD AUDIO CONTROLLER (I guess that is an audio chip on the GPU?) works fine without my MB audio controller.

 

So, now the question is.....might there be an Nvidia GPU driver with a better (for FSX) Audio driver?

 

 

I guess I will add this experience to one of the "FSX freezing" threads as well.

Welcome!  I guarantee that'll help a decent amount.  Try setting the two sources properly, and reset the values to PMDG recommended and then adjust them from there.

Kyle,

 

Your suggestion was perfect!

 

I have a system with on-board sound and a Creative SB add-on card. Didn't use the OB sound until now. I enabled it in the bios and updated the drivers. Set FSX sounds to your settings....works like a charm. I could never hear the voice call outs before.

 

Really brings the cockpit environment together along with TrackIR & EZDok.

 

Cheers!

Doesn't it?  Glad it worked!

So Chris,

You hopefully turned engine sounds off and you have not come back to say answer was it the engine noise you could hear?

Just for the record; my FSX freezes and CDTs seem to be NOT related to any audio driver!

 

Something was terribly wrong my FSX install that caused all kinds of problems including what I described above.

 

Kyles tip has my blessing again, lol :-)

In PMDG 777 FMC go to options and sound ans adjust the volumes. You dont necesaarily have to do it in FSx which basically will affect all your aircrafts.

Cheers

HOW DO I SHUT OF THE AC?

HOW DO I SHUT OF THE AC?

 

Can you be more specific in the question

I guess he is botheted by the noise that the AC makes.

Its like that in real life too though....really quite loud and annoying.

 

He could turn off the pack as long as he stays below 10.000ft, lol

 

I think the volume can be controlled by one of the FSX sliders (environment maybe) but it will also lower the volume of other things.
