P3D loses sound then CTD

[ryanbatc 12,856]

Anyone see this?

 

I'm flying along (typically in an orbx area), switching between VC and external, and the sound stops working.  A min or so after that I get a "P3D has stopped working" CTD

What aircraft are you using?

This was the lionheart Mooney acclaim, but it has happened in others....  I'm wondering if it's a resources issue....  I was getting around 10-13 fps near Orbx NCA along with FB KSFO....

Bump! Only a few replies at the P3D forum- checking event viewer etc

I had something similar happen the other day while checking out the new FTX Global Port Morseby strips in the Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended.  Was concentrating on locating the strips and managed to blow up an engine.  The sound failure happened less than a minute after the fire warning bell went off.  No sound from the point where I turned off the fire alarm.  The CTD happened about a minute after that.  I'll have to check my event viewer logs, but if I recall correctly, the faulting module was ntdll.dll.  If so, the issue might be similar to the old FSX one where the screen would freeze while the sound continued, and the program then crashed.  It was always replicable in a given location.  In those cases, on my system, the problem was the GPU - I was never sure whether it was lack of VRAM or lack of processing power, but I was able to cure it twice (not cheaply) in successive instances by upgrading the video card.  I'm wondering if the problem here isn't a video resource issue, but I'll have to rely on more technically conversant friends to figure it out.

Certainly could be GPU because I haven't upgraded to the gtx770 4gb I was hoping to yet.

Before I invest any more money into this sim this has to be solved... Hoping someone from LM could shed some light on it.

 

Here's the details from event viewer.... two separate CTD messages I guess

Last week I had a CTD but looks like it was a true appcrash:
