caphavoc Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Just wondering if it's me, but as of April 10, something has radically altered my FS9 install ... primarily, I now have NO sound (ATC/Environment/Aircraft et al). Currently am using Realtek HD Audio drivers (v6.0.8703.1) which were working fine on April 9; however, went to continue the flight next day ... and nada, no sound. In my Windows 11 Sound System Control panel I have: - Realtek HD Audio 2nd Output (I use headphones) set as my default Sound Device formatted to - 2 Channels, 24bit, 48000Hz Studio Quality - Level set at: 33 (Left: 33, Right: 33) - Audio Enhancements: Off and - Spatial Audio: Off In the Windows 11 Control Panel/Sound I have disabled Exclusive Mode and Under Communications: Do Nothing. I have only now just finished rolling Win 11 back to a 04.04.2023 Restore Point and let it do it's thing. Curiously enough, I now have sound for FS9. So, has anyone else (who also uses Windows 11) experienced any FS9 sound anomalies within the last week? Should also mention this happened at least a day or so before the latest Windows 11 update released this morning (12.04.2023).

Barkingside Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Nope. W11 here and FS2004 runs better than ever. No sound problems either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelkalinowsk Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Absolutely no issues on my system. Running FS2004 under W11 since a year or so.

Tom Gibson Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Have you tried pressing the Q key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Wensley Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I stayed with Windows 7 for FS2004 after the disasters of Windows 8 and then Windows 8.1. No disasters now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caphavoc Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 Great to see others have no problems. However, there is some gremlin at malicious play on my rig. @ Tom: Yep. First thing I looked at. Unfortunately, no go. Thanx though (I know how easy it is to accidently mash the Q key. ) @JSMR: Am seriously giving consideration to reinstalling Win10 (an OS I never ever had any problems with).

Strangely enough, an update to Windows 10 messed up the sound on my FSX, which until then I was trying my hardest to enjoy. It turned out to be a known issue with certain hardware/software combinations so FSX got its marching orders and FS2004 rules here. I'm just mentioning this because I don't see the slightest chance of that issue ever being fixed as Windoze 10 is already outdated. So hanging on to an old operating system isn't always going to be the be-all and end-all. John http://www.adventure-unlimited.org My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star!

Skywatcher12 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Windows 10/11 really suck but people don't believe me till they inevitably have a problem. Unplug your headphones completely and try speakers. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using Win10 for a few years already, "upgraded" to Win11. I didn't like the context menu of Win11 and went back to Win10. All the time I had no issues running FS2004. So in January this year I have returned to Win11 (using StartAllBack to have the old fashioned Win10 user interface context menu etc.). And believe me I never had no problems with FS2004. Albeit you have to make sure a few things - never install FS2004 in the default path, best have a separate partition for FS2004 and run FS2004 with admin rights. Also install all add-ons using the admin option. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caphavoc Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Gi'day, Took the path of least resistance and re-installed Windows 11 (hey, it has worked flawleslly since 2018). Have just now started a plain vanilla reinstall of FS9.1, and, so far, no sound problem(s). Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions.

caphavoc Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Gi'day Mark, Unpluged headphones ... yes. Don't have computer speakers so there's nothing to plug in (haven't owned any since 2005-6). Have lived under headphones since my ABC radio producer days back in the late 60s.
