March 4, 20224 yr Just to make sure that there is no confusion: Headphone simulation is not to be used when you are actually wearing headphones. It is a sound filter that simulates a sound environment that you would hear if you were sitting in an aircraft and wearing your headset. So if you actually wear a physical headset while sitting at your computer this option needs to be switched off.

Having flown for the entire past year with physical headphones (I have my Track IR detectors on them), I always had this box checked in my settings, simply because my headphones are replacing my computer sound system, so the only sounds I hear from MSFS are through the headphones. The headphones ON setting is if you want to reduce noises which are not necessary to be heard like AI traffic in the cockpit for example, but if you switch to outside view you will hear AI traffic noises and your own engine(s).

But then you presumably do not hear other cockpit sounds such a switches being clicked?

I wear headphones and had it off so far. However, I'll leave it on for the time being to get rid of the vacuum cleaner sound until a future update (in May... or perhaps it will slip into June?) will remove that ugly noise. Didn't try VR yet but there was the AI noise, too, probably it's the same.

March 4, 20224 yr This workaround is really a partial solution untill it fixed. The sound reduction - when headphone simulation is ON - is way more important than with a good ANR real headset seated in a real C172 cockpit. The sound engine is way too much reduce. Vincent B.

March 6, 20224 yr So there is no fix for this other than turn other aircraft sounds off or Turn Headphone simulation on? So do we know if its a sim bug or an Traffic addon Issue? In my case AIG.
