Sound fading on/off from left speaker randomly during flight

[Concorde79 65]

Hi.

Have had this problem since last patch. Sound coming from my left logitech speaker fades in and out in FS2020, usually during flight only the right speaker produces sound but left one is very fade but you can hear it. Then it sometimes comes back on and sometimes fades again. Haven't had this problem before the latest patch.

Every other game, sound from youtube etc. works great from my left speaker so it isn't a hardware issue.

Has anyone else had similar problem after latest patch ? Is there a fix for it ?

There is a setting in the Sound options where you can disable the sim sound when you click on a second or third monitor.  Not sure if that's your issue, doesn't sound like it but have a poke around in your settings that would be my first thought.

I do have a second monitor and use my moving map on it. But haven't had this problem before the latest patch.

Maybe something with the spatial sound setting in the sim? You can try toggling it to see if that is contributing perhaps.

It is very weird because this never happened before the last patch.

My both speakers and subwoofer functioned normally with FS2020.

It starts normally with sound from both speakers, then it suddenly fades from left speaker and sometimes comes back again but then it fades again. I can hear sound coming from the left speaker very faintly when I put it against my ear.

But spotify, other games and firefox etc. all work perfectly with both speakers.

no one else has reported this issue as far as i know..so that makes it unlikely its msfs.

try moving sliders in soundsettings, then relog, could be some hitch there?

Not sure if this is related, but there is a known Windows problem, when it thinks there is an incoming call it fades sound automatically. I have this with P3D too. My workaround: Go to Settings ->Sound, click on Communications. "Do nothing" should be checked. But even if that is checked, Windows overrides this sometimes in the background without being noticeable. To be sure that it works, first choose another option,  e.g. "Reduce by 50%" click Apply, then click "Do nothing" again and Apply again. I'm doing this after every Windows Start. It can also be done when the sim is already running. There are other solutions being discussed in the forums, but for me this works the best.

 Same here …. eagerly waiting for a fix.  Sound randomly drops down during flights.

Have had it since last patch and nearly bought new speakers of it...
