June 23, 2025Jun 23 I've noticed that when I select any jet aircraft (Airbus, Boeing, etc.), that I no longer have that "spooling sound" from the jet engines. The sound in spot view is excellent, but when in the cockpit, I hear nothing for about 10 seconds after full throttle. I do get sound after I'm eventually rolling down the runway, but it's not the same. I have checked all the possibilities in the sim's sound settings (environment, cockpit). ALL are at full volume. I have a Realtek sound card with my new Jetline computer, and Bose subwoofer and satellite speakers. I had great sound on my old computer with my jets, but not now. My sound in MSFS is perfect in the cockpit and elsewhere, so it has to be something with P3d (5.4). Should I reload parts of the installation files or what? Your help and suggestions would be much appreciated. Stan
June 24, 2025Jun 24 Not sure if this will help. If you are using PMDG, then there is an option in PMDG-Setup- Options-for sound, which enables you to set the specific sound device. Maybe your other planes have something similar. On my setup, this brought the missing cockpit sound back from the dead after a system rebuild. Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM.

June 24, 2025Jun 24 Author Not PMDG. Just downloaded Airbus and Boeing planes that I've used successfully in the past on my old computer. Not every plane is affected, but just certain ones. I've tried replacing the Sound folder in those that lacked the sound with the Sound folder of another plane, but that doesn't seem to work. I think I'll buy an Airbus Sound from Simmarket or somewhere and try to use that for my affected planes. I'll see if that works.

Don't overlook the driver / speaker output mixing. I've had sound driver updates that literally doubled my frame rates, plus speaker mixing is something to also look at, I run a simple 2.1 speaker system that was natively supported on Win7, however a 2.1 system selection was missing in Win10 and I had to custom mix a 5.1 output down to 2.1 (including frequency targeting) in order to get sounds coming out where they should, gave me no end of trouble in P3D till I managed a mix and output arrangement that works just fine. I used APO for frequency and mixing https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/ Also I found the Realtek Audio Manager tool was very useful.

Just downloaded the Realtek Audio Manager.
