      Hello all!

      About a month ago I have not been able to hear the RWR warning, UI buttons click on the main menu. When I go into the tactical reference page click on a mig21 to listen to its unique RWR tone I get no sound. I get no sound when ATC is talking too.
      I thought to myself well maybe it’s just my sound turned way down, I checked, it wasn’t the issue. I can hear everything else fine.

      So I uninstalled the game completely. Even cleaned my registry of the game. Reinstalled it with a fresh install but still no luck. I am still unable to hear the UI sounds, ATC sounds, RWR sounds, exc.

      Anyone know how to remedy this issue? If so please let me know.

        Hi!
        If I remember corectly … something about the sound card setting. (Try to remove the 5.1 mode) search on the forum, you should fine other subjects.

          Searched the forum on 5.1 mode and didn’t have any luck. Is 5.1 mode in the BMS Config?

          When I go into sounds setting area in the main menu. On the TEST strip of sounds I click external sounds, I hear them fine. I click RWR I can’t hear it at all, I click on sidewinder sounds and I hear it fine, same goes for VHFCOMM1, etc.

            Please don’t check in the setup but inflight. If the issue still, then it’s indeed the 5.1 setting. This is not in Falcon but in the sound setup in Windows. If you use a headset, it work in Stereo (2 ways). When selected 5.1, some channel (use for the VMS for example) are dropped.

                i don’t have my windows close to me now but on the control panel access to your sound setting. You should find a dropdown with the different sound setting. Select Stereo.
                Maybe check on Google for the exact path.

                  thanks mate. I’ll give it a shot!

                  Edit~ It works! For some reason it was on 7.1.

                  Thanks for the help 🙂

                    Hi everyone
                    Just reinstalled Falcon BMS on my new computer today. Everything works fine exept that I too cannot hear radio comms, rwr sounds and the aim-9 tone. Checked my sound settings and they are in stereo, not 5.1.
                    Any idea what might be the problem?
                    Thanks

                      Check your knobs in the cockpit in the audio panel. Move them to the right to increase volume.

                        I thought I had checked that but wanted to make sure. Every knob on the panel was on maximum, except the intercom… So that solved the problem. I had used various TEs with air starts to verify my setup after the fresh install and consequently didn’t go through my startup checklist and also half expected everything to be set correctly in the cockpit.
                        Thanks OldGoat. Have a nice weekend.
