Intermittant RC voice volume...

[Ken Hall 2]

My earlier post and responses which solved the problem on sound issues has not resolved this current challenge!

Randomly the RC-voices suddenly go very, very quiet - almost completely inaudible.

Turning up the volume then results in a deafening voice when the situation goes back to 'normal' 😞

Checking in my audio devices I see there are FOUR audio devices listed and I am wondering if any of these is causing a conflict with the RC voice playback?

Listed devices are:

Intel (R) Display Audio: v 10.26.0.1    04/09/2018

nVidia High Definition Audio: v 1.3.37.4    03/04/2018

nVidia Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM): v 4.6.0.0   20/02/2018

Realtek High Definition Audio: v 6.0.1.7541   18/06/2015     As far as I am concerned/aware, this is the default sound device.

Despite the dates shown above I can see in W10 that updates for each of these drivers is shown as 12/01/2019 which was the date of the 'Autumn' (1809) update for me!!!

Anybody else having similar issues?

Ken,

The problem is almost certainly down to a W10 feature. Go to Control Panel - Sound - Communications tab and change setting to 'Do Nothing'. See if that helps.

I have the same problem with GSX sound.

And I have it with ProATC-X.  You may have to keep repeating the process Ray has set out.  It seems Windows can fiddle with this after each session.  Before I start P3D I've got into the habit of going into the setting, selecting "Mute All Other Sounds" and "Apply" and then re-selecting "Do Nothing".

Hi Ray,

already did the 'do nothing' bit but still having the issue!

Will try the method as described by 'ailchim' (thanks) and see if that works for me.

Computers, eh?!

Ken,

Try selecting another option, hit Apply then the do nothing one again and apply. It is a pain but it does work... eventually.

Select correct speaker system in the sim also, should be the same as in your computer (under general settings in P3D). That solved this problem for me.

I have just developed this problem out of the blue.  Didn't change anything and went from trouble free to buggy.

I use the Rift S, but this has been trouble free up to now!

It appears it's a new issue resulting from latest Windows 10 update
