Hey,

I've just recently upgraded computers and have been setting P3d up on my new system, however, I've run into a few troubles while trying to setup FS2crew on the new system. I've set FS2crew up following the instructions (same as I did on my old system) yet, when in voice mode, FS2crew fails to recognise anything I say. I can confirm that voice mode is enabled. I've also attempted the voice training multiple times to make sure that my voice is being detected correctly.

I've tried a few things like using both English-US and English-UK speech profiles however, my voice is still not being detected by the sim. Additionally, "Allow desktop apps to access your microphone" is turned on in the windows 10 privacy menu. I have migrated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and if I didn't know any better, I'd say it has something to do with either permissions or "user error". I've also noted that every time I switch between voice and button mode P3D stops responding and crashes.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on where I could start to look to resolve the issue.

Migrations can be icky and problematic.

I would always recommend a totally clean install of Windows.

 

Question: I'm running Windows 10.  The system is not hearing my voice.

Answer:

Uninstall Asus Sonic Studio, Asus Sonic Radar and Asus Studio 3 if you have them installed.  You don't need their bloatware. That solved it for one user.  Another user had an audio program called Nahimic running on his laptop.  Exiting that software prior to loading FS solved the issue for him.

If using a laptop, you may need to disable your built in mic on the laptop in order for your headset mic to be detected.

In your Windows "Power Options", ensure that "USB Selective Suspend Setting" is Disabled.

Make sure you're using the Green Bar (DSP on the FS2Crew Main Panel).  You need to be able to 'see' what the Speech Recognition system is "hearing".

Sorry about that I should clarify, its a completely new computer all together so, fresh install of windows. I had one program installed similar to Asus studio however, I have since uninstalled it and performed a fresh install of FS2crew however, no such luck fixing the issue. I have the green  bar dsp selected on however, it's not displaying anything. I've taken a look at all of the other programs currently installed and there doesn't appear to be any extra audio apps.

Were you able to train your voice?

MIc not muted?

 

And open the Config Manger and see what the Log says.

Yeah, I think i've done the train your voice thing about 5-6 times by now. I did it once a few weeks ago on my windows 7 machine and it was pretty much good to go. Mic is 100% not muted. I'll take a look at the config manager and see what the logs say 

I've attached a photo for reference of my setup as well as the config manager logs. I actually missed the fact that I have Nahimic installed on this system however, I made sure that I canceled any processes associated with it via task manager prior to opening up the sim and FS2crew.

Can you uninstall Nahammic?

According the Log, everything is fine.

 

I'm pretty sure it's Nahamic:

Yup, uninstalling Nahamic worked so just for anyone else suffering the issue, merely cancelling all of its background processes doesn't work. 

 

Thanks a tonne Bryan, your help troubleshooting has been fantastic. 

Glad you got it sorted 🙂

Funny - I've been going nuts with the same issue recently.  Whatever is going on even stops P2ATC  from recognizing my voice as well.  I may still have the Asus garbage installed - going to try that in a bit.  I've never heard of this Nahamic software though.

Edit - can't find the asus software installed so that option is out.  I dont see Nahamic on my uninstall list either.  Any other ideas?

Edit 2: So switching my speakers as audio output back to my headset seems to clear the issue.  I never changed my mic settings so not sure why audio output would cause any issues.

I had an MSI board and also used Nahimic. You don't actually need to uninstall it, just make sure you disable (kill) all processes in the taskmgmr. After the Sim has loaded, you should be able to turn it on again and use it. Maybe a newer version doesn't allow that anymore but, the last time I checked it worked.

Get rid of the Asus bloatware 😉 

Uninstall it.

I tried to find it but can't find any of their software still installed.  Weird.  Pretty sure I had it at one time.  Maybe Ill run an install and uninstall to make sure its gone.

Look out for any bloatware that might affect audio.
