No sound in COMM
-
I don’t have any sound when i try a communication to ATC for example : I do not hear my voice (chosen in setup) nor see the sub-title when i do a request in the basic training mission. All others sounds are OK.
In the setup>sound menu you can test the levels of sounds. All are ok except COM sounds, nothing.
In F4 allied forced, the COM sounds are ok for the same mission. I think its only a matter of configuration of the software.
Somebody can help me ?

you have to input the tower’s radio frequency manually or save it in the DTC… something new compared to f4af
bms-manual.pdf pg.65 and down

Radio ON ?
Frequencies set properly ?
Volume on COM button ?
ICP active or are you using BACKUP UHF ?
Did you read the “FalconBMS.pdf” manual ?
…

How do you explain no sound in the setup>sound menu when i try to test the comm level of sound ?
It is not a matter of frequency selected, isn’t it?
-
folks with surround sound setups reported similar issues several times already, try searching for those.

As Moort said … should be sound card setting issues …

I’m curious if you succeed. There were some others, including myself, with this issue.
somehow it was fixed by adding the line to your cfg file:
set g_bUse3dSound 0
If not already, after using DTC to set tower frequency, you (hopefully ) hear yourself and ATC (&tanker)Regards,

… for those who wondered: this helped…

I am having this same problem. Starting yesterday I ceased receiving sound on comm 1, comm2 and IVC. Also no mic press clicks. Problem occurs on single-player and multiplayer.

Did you try all of the above remedies? if so, you should hear these sounds again. If not, feel free to contact me (or others of course )
I’d be happy to help.

Solved by saving DTC and doing a ramp-start. Seriously…those two steps were required. The DTC should have nothing to do with UHF and VHF mic clicks but it does (or did in my case). Thanks for the offer to help.

FanI am having the same problem as Codered. Could you explain how to add that line and where config file is located. Im a noobie to this so details would be greatly appreciated. BTW i loaded the freq into the DTC aswell without any change ingame
Thanks,

@Havoc117,
Sure mate, no problem.
This line can be added to your bms config (also called: bms config.dat) file. It doesn’t matter where you put it, but at the end of the file is probably best.
The file is located in your bms install folder under the map ‘User’ from the top of my head. I’ll check when I’m home.
Also, set the sliders in the sound setup menu a tick above the advised levels to be sure that there can’t be a problem.
If any questions, feel free to ask (or PM if you’d prefer)

I was wrong in my previous post. Sorry about that. That’s what happens when one is 2 tired
Ok, here’s the correct info:
filename = falcon bms.cfg
Location: \install folder on your harddrive\User\config\
You can edit this file with e.g. notepad.
Line to add:
set g_bUse3dSound 0
Hope this helps,
Regards,

I was able to find it and follow your instructions. I am glad to report that they worked.
I had to go into the ingame settings>sound and for some reason had to also crank the COMM1&2 up to max. When I played with the volume levels the sound would crackle and didnt get a continuous sound until I raised it to max. Then after entering freq in the data cartridge and manually inputing them in while in a mission I was able to hear all the comms “loud and clear”
Thanks FanofBMS432 once again I appreciate your help, and no problems about the file location I was able to find that myself at the very least :P.
I also hope this helps anyone else having the same problem. Remember to raise your COMM level to max in the settings.

I had the problem of losing sound on COMM 1 and COMM 2, both in-game and at the SOUNDS screen in settings.
I reloaded my data cartridge (DTC) and did a ramp-start (just got to the set of loading the DTC into the flight computer) and start receiving COMM 1 and 2 sounds. The sounds also returned when testing at the set-up screen after that process.
One thing I noticed at the set-up screen when I had COMM1 or COMM2 test button selected is I would get the sounds when I dragged the volume select bar back and forth.
I’m sure the 3dsounds thing in the command line works for people, but there’s something else that’s actually causing the problem I suspect.

I turned on the subtitles and when I am practicing the daytime Final Approach landing, I contact the ATC and The subtitles appear as if the tower is talking but I do not hear myself or the tower. I followed your directions and added the line " set g_bUse3dSound 0 " into the file and now it all works fine.
