Dolby Cockpit Surround: how to assign speakers?

Featured Replies

I am having problems with the sound config with Dolby Cockpit Surround.

I was running Dolby Cockpit Surround without any problem with an 2.1 speaker system via my onboard soundcard.
To make use of the dolby sounds I additionaly installed a 5.1 soundcard and a 5.1 speaker system.
I now have 2 soundsystems in my HomeCockpit:
Soundblaster 5.1 > for Engine Sounds
Realtek Onboard Soundcard 2.1 > for Cockpit sounds

Both soundcards work in parallel. That's not the problem. My problem is, that I can not assign different sounds to different speakers via the Dolby Cockpit program. I change the settings and click apply. On next start up, no speaker is selected. Only the "all speakers" setting is working.

I suspect, that Dolby Cockpit does not accept my Soundblaster card correctly. According to the manual I should select the desired soundcard at the bottom of the screen. Doing this, it tells me to restart to change the settings. But it doesn't change anything. The two soundcards are displayed the same way. And to me, it looks like the 2.1 Realtek soundcard is still the active one.

See attached screenshot:

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Haven’t you tried to contact FSPS ?

This is a program that once was payware and since a couple of years freeware.

I use it too with 1 soundcard. The same I have experienced too. Sometimes it doesn’t remember the sounds/speakers for months and then it remembers them for months..

As it was written for earlier flightsim versions + Vista that might cause issues too.

Hi Gerard,

I am aware that this is freeware meanwhile. Contacted FSPS and providing them with my settings.ini now. However, there is nothing to read in that .ini file, but a few numbers.

As you say, it was made for FSX. It was still running totally fine with P3Dv4 until installing the second soundcard, though.

It's such a nice tool. Just unfortunate, that they stopped developing it further.... would pay quite some bugs for it.

Thanks,

Michael
