ATC voices very weak - P2A Beta2f7

Featured Replies

Hello Dave   🙂

Pilot2ATC version 2.6.2.4_x64_PublicBeta2f7 (under test)

The pilot voice is ok (loud), but all the other ATC voices are very weak. However, the volume is set at maximum (100%) for each of the ATC voices in the configuration window (see the attached screenshot and the configuration files).
Note: with the relesase version of pilot2ATC (v2.6.2.3_x64-R2) and the same setup pour the voices, the volume of all ATC voices is OK (loud)

Configuration file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qzimip7qi5xcyf8/p2a_beta2f7_files.zip?dl=1

The new beta version 2f, about to be released as a Public Beta, allows you to control all volume with the volume setting in the COM Control panel.  Try turning that up and see how it does.

Dave,

Can you clarify which comm panel? Are you talking about the one in the aircraft or something in P2ATC? I'm in the Dev FBW aircraft with the volume's maxed and can barely hear ATC at all now that I'm airborne. I didn't have that problem with clearance, ground, or tower. It started with departure and now continues with center.

Also, in case it makes a difference, I have random voices turned on and they're all Amazon Polly voices.

Hi Dave   🙂

[EDIT] see my next post....

------

I have tested: in the COM control panel, the volume designated in the screenshot below, only controls the volume of chatter sounds, it does not control the volume of ATC voices.

Where can the volume of ATC voices be adjusted globally ? (in Config/Voices the volume of all ATC voices is already set to 100%, but we hear them very weakly on the radio)

JPR,

I must be dense - how do you get that panel to show up? I've never used it before...

Thanks!

I believe it is a left click on the stand by frequency in lower left corner.

Hi Dave   🙂
I just installed the new public beta2f version from your website.
The volume in the screenshot in my previous post, does indeed change the volume of the ATC voices. By setting this volume to full, the pilot's voice and the chatter sounds are loud, but the ATC voices are heard more softly. It would be nice if the ATC voices were heard as loud as the pilot's voice.

Tony,

You are correct but...while the window pops up, I can't actually alt-tab to it. It flashes up for a second, but I can't alt-tab to it.

Thanks!

The new feature in Beta 2f is that the Volume Control on the P2A Com Panel will affect both ATC Voices and Chatter.  

The ATC Voices still have their individual volumes, so if they're too soft, turn their individual volumes up to 100% in Config.  This is still there because the volumes of various voices differ and you still need to crank up some and turn down others.

The next Beta is going to have a Config Volume control for Chatter so that if the Chatter is too loud or soft vs the ATC Voices, you can adjust that.

If the COM Panel is not visible after click in the STBY Freq, it could be opening on a phantom screen.  

1)    After clicking the Stby Com Freq, Hover over the P2A icon on the Taskbar. There should be multiple windows and one is the Radio Freq window
2)    Hover over that window and a larger thumbnail of the window should show
3)    Right-click that larger thumbnail
4)    Select Move
5)    Hold down the Right Arrow key on the keyboard until the program comes into view
6)    If that doesn’t work, hold down the left arrow
7)    Once the window is in view, use the mouse to move it to the desired location.
😎  Shut down Pilot2ATC so the location will be remembered.

I have same issue, very low atc voice although I have adjusted maximum chatter volume

Check the Windows Volume Mixer by clicking on the Speaker icon on the Windows Task bar.  

Set P2A volume to max.

Also check the individual voice volumes and increase them.

I have no sound issue with Public Beta 2e, Dave.

Thanks Dave - that was exactly the problem. Was able to get the panel up and get the ATC voices working again. Appreciate the direction!
