Gentlemen,

First off, congratulations on a great product. With the exception of the problem I am about to mention, which may be endemic solely to my particular set up, she has performed flawlessly. She is a real pleasure to fly.

My problem is that when I cycle through all of the views from cockpit to vc to tower to spot, when I return to the cockpit the sound levels increase dramatically, almost deafening. I am not sure if it is all of the sounds but may be just certain ambient sounds (I hear a loud but constant clicking for example). I can fix it by maximizing active sky (which I am also running) from its minimized state and then minimizing it again. This seems to clear it up but I need to do this exercise every time I change views. Sometimes the sound problem appears when I just switch views in the cockpit.

I am running in windowed mode and have multiple panel windows open on three monitors.

Any suggestions to fix my problem would be greatly appreciated. Since I have seen no mention of similar issues in any post, I fear it may be my set up. Thus, all suggestions are welcome!

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Regards,

Todd

Most likely this is a sound card and/or driver issue. Are you using integrated sound or separate sound card? Some suggestions:

Lower sound acceleration in DXDIAG to basic.

Upgrade to latest soundcard drivers.
