No Voice recognition on new System

[Sonne 1]

Dear Bryan.

I‘ve just set up my new Hardware, everything went fine, except for the FS2Crew installation for the PMDG 747 ( FS2Crew v1.6A ).

Speech Training on WIN10 worked fine, Speech Recognizer is set as described in the FS2Crew Manual ( set to OFF / run at startup unchecked ).

Speechrecognizer us set to English(US).

FS2Crew is set up correctly, with VOICE(H) displayed in yellow on the left corner of the FS2Crew Display.

However, the FO does not listen to me. Nothing of what I‘ve said is displayed in the green speech bar.

Microphone in P3D is set to default Windows device.

Hard/Softmute is off.

Furthermore: I‘ve installed UGCX too and got a message, that the language is not set correctly / is incompatible with FS2Crew.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, with best regards,

Toto

Hi Toto,

Sounds like you don't have English US set here:

Indeed I do have the English (US) language package installed.

Exactly as shown above.

My whole System is set to English (US).

If it's a new system, you probably installed some bloatware that messing with the Microsoft Speech Recognition API.

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.

Also, the 2018 Windows Spring Update appears to add new "privacy" options for your microphone that, if enabled, can turn off your microphone.
