I finally found the issue. I was pretty sure whatever the problem was had to do with recent drivers or a windows update. So in Windows update I looked for he last installed item before I posted here about the issue. What I’m found was a program called Nahimic Media which was part of some Asus/Realtek drivers I grabbed from their site.
Turns out, this software is basically a virus and replicates itself in other programs and ends up causing major issues including the issue I was having in BMS, namely “cannot create dsound”.
I tried disabling it in services but no joy. I ended up having to reformat the the computer and start from scratch. As of today I’m flying Falcon again. From my understanding Nahimic is included in a lot of official drivers so beware.
Thanks for all the help!

RE: Comms issue in flight.
@Wicked All is working fine. The problem was not using the right comms menu item with the selected frequency.

Comms issue in flight.
I was flying a campaign mission earlier, just a simple HAVCAP and was unable to check in at steerpoint on the check in frequency and unable to contact AWACS tactical. I was using the correct frequencies and verified AWACS was up. The weird thing is when I attempted to check in or get a picture, I did not hear the radio call from my pilot to AWACS and did not receive a reply. However, when I called my wingman to fence, I heard my pilot give the call and got a response.
I wrote down the frequencies from the brief and entered them manually. Another oddity was after I manually input a frequency I could no longer use the presets. I could rocker through them all the way to 20 and see the frequencies but upon pressing enter, it retained the last manually entered frequency.
I’m just getting back into flying BMS so it’s possible I may need to update my comms procedures.
Comments and suggestions welcome.
