Yet another Speaker/Headset Issue.

[Sherman6842 0]

Good Afternoon All,

 

To start I've scoured the forum for a couple of days now looking on how to resolve this issue myself without having to trouble you guys for a little help. Unfortunately I've had to come asking for help.

 

I have an issue within FS2Crew whereby I cannot get the FO to play through my USB headset (Turtle Beach X12 with a USB sound card adapter).

 

I haven't got any issues with playing FSX sounds through either the speakers or the headset. 

 

I've been into the Config panel in FS2Crew without the 'HS' button on and selected the USB as audio. I've then pressed the HS button and started the pre flight but the FS2Crew sounds always come out of the speakers. I've also tried this the other way round (HS buttoin first, then into the Config panel)

 

I've tried making the speakers (in the playback devices of Win7 64 bit) default with the USB as Default Communication device and without. Basically I've tried every combination I can think of there.

 

So to end this lengthy problem description I can only say that I am truly stumped on what to do next. 

 

That why I've come to you guys, the experts!

 

In advance I'd like to say thank you to all and any replies!

Hi Gethin,

 

I replied to your email.

 

I think your unique 'spliter' setup is the source of the problem. 

 

Having the mic input and sound output connected to a single input jack via a splitter might be problematic.

 

Try using the USB port if able.

 

Best,

Hi Bryan, 

 

You sir are a genius! 

 

However, and this new problem has genuinely made me giggle! FS2Crew is running like a dream......but..... now I get all FSX sounds through the headset and not the speakers? 

 

FS2Crew's First Officer and FA talk to me through the speakers (before FO put's on his headset then I hear him through mine, that's normal) which is fine but I'm getting all the engine sounds through headset? 

 

Any ideas chaps? 

 

I'll be one very happy bunny if I can get this last bit sorted!

 

Thanks again

You  can set this in your fsx sound set up I beleive

Well that's what I thought Pete, but I've got the sound set as my speakers in the FSX sound menu but I'm still getting it coming throught the headset. 

 

Although that being said, the sounds of switches and the FA are the only things coming through them. 

 

It's as if once I got FS2Crew sort, FSX decided to play up!

Try going to your Windows control panel, manage audio hardware devices section.

 

Make sure your speakers are set a the primary playback device.

 

You got something mix mashed somewhere :-)

Chaps, I SOLVED THE PROBLEM! 

 

It's always the simple things that solve the funniest of problems! 

 

It turns out that within the 'Sound' options located within the FMC of the PMDG 737NGX there's an option that you can select so that the 'Aircraft' sound can either come out of the speakers or the headset! I'll post a screen shot. 

 

Maybe an addition to the manual chaps?

PS If you ever want a beta tester gimme a shout!
