I have uninstalled and reinstalled the programw and restarted and stopped, deleted, created the localdb. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FSUIPC7. I’ve checked the speech settings. All multiple time. My mic works in everything else from zoom to call of duty to windows voice command. Uninstalled and reinstalled all versions of sqlserver, and uninstalled and allowed p2atc to reinstall sqlserver 2014…. Every single time I get the same error…

Unable to initialize database. SQL server failed to start. 

I am on a new pc with Windows 11 Ryzen 9 5800, 128gb ram, RTX3090, Asus x570 chipset, 2 8tb m.2 ssds, and an 8 tb regular ssd, and a steelseries Arctic Nova pro headset, on a gigabit internet connection hardwired to a 10gb/s router….. there’s nothing in my system holding this back.

 Some ideas that I haven’t tried, or suggestions of another program that works with speech recognition would be awesome.

You need to install the SQLLocalDB, not SQL Server or SQL Server Express.

Here's  a summary of the steps:

1. Download SQL Express 2019 from Microsoft, then select the 3rd option to extract SQL LocalDB . 

2. Run installer to install SQLLocalDB 2019

3. Add the following registry key using Powershell

New-Item -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15E.LOCALDB\MSSQLServer\Parameters' -Force
New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15E.LOCALDB\MSSQLServer\Parameters' -Name 'SQLArg0' -Value "-T1800" -PropertyType String -Force

Finally, Reboot the PC and then restart SQLLocalDB afterwards:

sqllocaldb stop MSSQLLocalDB
sqllocaldb delete MSSQLLocalDB
sqllocaldb create MSSQLLocalDB
sqllocaldb start MSSQLLocalDB

If that doesn't do the trick, then please post or send screenshots of all error messages and the results of the SQLLocalDB commands to me at [email protected].

A few minor changes to that list got me going.
 
I couldn't find SQL Express 2019 from Microsoft, So I went with 2022... That changed the registry key a little bit to

New-Item -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL16E.LOCALDB\MSSQLServer\Parameters' -Force
New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL16E.LOCALDB\MSSQLServer\Parameters' -Name 'SQLArg0' -Value "-T1800" -PropertyType String -Force

Apparently, the problem is the address blocks of the newer m.2 SSDs. The older 2.5-inch hard drive style SSDs dont have the issue.

 

Now on to play with the program to figure out how it works....
