Replacing the obvious config files with the latest dates didn’t help so I ended up copying the last known good backup I had, over the main install. I’m back in business. Never did find the issue….

@dawgboy:

Folks,

I have all sounds except a very low COM1 and COM2 volumes. This first occurred when joining the Korean campaign, Rolling Tide, and flying my 3rd mission. It persists even after a restart, despite me having all of the volumes set to max, including COM1 and COM2, and the little volume knob centered on the Comms panel. I can see the printed blue messages from the tower, just as always, but I can’t hear them. When in MP mode, even the human flight lead over IVC isn’t discernable. Again, I hear all other cockpit noises fine…RWR, missile firing, fans, button clicks. Of note, the normal pinging from the datalink, when in CONT with wingie in AA mode, isn’t there either.

EDIT/ADD: Further testing reveals no LOCK voice when the radar locks in dogfight mode, but I do hear Betty tell me when I’m stalling, with the flashing WARN HUD indicator. I do hear faint calls about my own missile firings, and when a missile is inbound, e.g., APEX INBOUND. It’s lower than it normally was. When I key the MIC button, it is also more faint than before, but audible.

I have added the line “set g_bUse3dSound 0” to the Falcon BMS file, per the guidance below. Still the same problem.

I have made no changes to my baseline in months, before this happened. The only mod since was the above “set g_bUse…”

Any ideas what it could be?

Thanks,
dawgboy
