Reverb G2 No Sound in P3D 5.1?

[jimh 23]

Hi,

I got my G2 today.  i found setup much more difficult than my previous headsets.  I'm into P3D via WMR for Steam and have no sound at all.  I haven't see anyone else with this complaint, so it may be my fault.  The headphones do work in the Mixed Reality Portal.

I'd really appreciate if someone could advise.

Regards, Jim

Try going into the sound settings in P3D and set the Primary Playback Device to your G2.

Thanks very much, Paul.  I've got sound now.  After setting P3D sound as you suggested, I found among the start menu sound choices, "Speakers (Realtek USB2.0 Audio)".  That combination did the trick.

My G2 is replacing a Valve Index whose installation was simplicity personified, with the required sound choice clearly named for the headset.

While I'm not impressed with the installation and startup complications of WMR, the ReverbG2 itself is just amazing for comfort, lightness, and clarity.  I'm not even aware of the sweet spot, and definition is 'way ahead of the Valve Index which was pretty good itself.

Thanks Again, Jim

Glad I could help you Jim.

I had the same issue and am irritated that the Reverb G2 isn't listed by name in the Sound options 😠
