On the last couple of flights the voice recognition has stopped working mid-flight so when I'm about to ask the FO if he's ready for the approach brief I don't get a reply. When this has happened I have enabled DSP to see if FS2Crew recognizes what I say and nothing show up.

 

I've now discovered that I can fix this by disabling/enabling voice.

 

Any ideas what might cause this?

What we think is happening here is your headset momentarily disconnected from your computer for a micro second, and thus disconnected from the audio system.

 

Why your headset disconnected for a micro second, could be anything.

 

But you're right: cycling the voice button will reset the system and reset your headset's connection to FS2Crew.

Ok, will try to change the USB port and see if that solves the issue.

And make sure your USB port isn't going to "sleep".

 

I think there's a Windows option that can control that.

I think I already checked that in the past making sure none of my USB ports will be allowed to enter any kind of power saving mode but I'll double-check it.
