September 15, 20223 yr Hi Guys, Looking for a little help or advice regarding a sound issue i am having with all aircraft(payware or default).All settings in the windows sounds is set to do nothing plus the speakers are set correctly in windows and P3D settings. The problem is anytime during a flight the sound from the cockpit (buttons switches etc) will disappear along with the sound from FS2 Crew but the sound from outside the aircraft engines etc remains along with Radar Contact and FS Chatter. This will just happen randomly,i have tried numerous things to fix this to no avail,anybody got any ideas to fix it. With Thanks, Gary Jones
September 15, 20223 yr Just a possibility... Windows sound drivers have a glitch that even though "Do nothing" is checked, it's not. I always open the sound settings before a flight on PilotEdge and check "reduce by 50%" and "apply" then check "do nothing" and "apply" then close. Try it and see if it works. Pain in the butt to do every time but fixes the problem for me.

September 15, 20223 yr I cannot say definitely but when I have had sound problems, I have removed the "offending" devices in Device Manager, including drivers and let Windows install afresh from a restart. This seems to reset any conflicting driver issues. Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM. Z170x Gigabyte m/b. 28" LG HD monitor.

September 15, 20223 yr A more permanent fix is to set your sim sound device to something different than the default sound device...in my case I have my GPU's integrated nVidia HD Audio device set as the default device (plays on my 55" TV via HDMI) and the sim is set to my XFi sound device. The poorly-controlled Windows communications muting is only applied to the default sound device, so this way it does not affect the sim.

September 15, 20223 yr Author Thanks for the responses Guys,i will try them,what has me stumped is that all the other sounds,engines,Radar Contact,FS Chatter etc work perfectly it just effects the cockpit and FS2 Crew. Gary.

September 16, 20223 yr Author Happened again last night 2 hours into a 4 hour flight lost all sound this time even the engines,the only things that where working sound wise was the 3rd party addons,FS2 Crew,FS Chatter,Radar Contact so it must be a P3D issue,the only way to get the sound back is to restart the sim.
