P3D mutes when using 737 overhead panel on a touchscreen.

[mkurver 6]

Hi all,

Hopefully somebody can help me.

I recently bought the CDU and Overhead panel Flightsim apps for the PMDG 737. I am using the overhead panel on a touchscreen with the Overhead Client.

Everytime I want to flick a switch or turn a dial on the overhead the sound of the sim goes mute and I need to click the main sim window again to get my sound back.

I know this is an an issue with the PMDG 737 (they solved it with the 777 and 747) but I was wondering if somebody found a workaround for this?

Thanks for thinking with me...

I don't have the PMDG 737 -- Only the 777....

BUT....You are sure in your P3D settings you do not have the Mute Audio box checked??  There is a box with lost focus or something it is called.  When you switch the windows focus away from P3D audio would mute.

If that is the case and you do have that setting correct then another option is to just hook up another low end computer to the Touch Display and run it over the network to connect and display the overhead.
