darrenvox Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 using fsx steam on another computer as my fs2004 is on a win vista system and this sim is on a win7 system... the fsx steam when minimizing or going to exit sim to do things or look up stuff will exit to desktop really well but won't go back into sim very well... sometimes i exit the sim to google things up or to download files or stuff... but cant seem to switch from sim to desktop easily without hearing dings and noises when back in sim...like currently atm im flying around bandd and i cant get back to where i have sound...its just quiet...how do i fix this...seeing as im an intermediate fs user i wonder if its the cfg i must change... please help...this error has been sitting on the back burner for too long...btw i wasnt meaning i need help for this very flight as we speek, just for the next time i fly!!

mrzippy Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) An answer forthcoming only if I get an acknowledgement for your taxi Milton's aircraft contact points question in the fs2004 forum! OK, now that I see you are alive.....…always pause the Sim before going to windowed mode and minimizing. No sound? Press q key once or twice.

tiger1962 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 FSX doesn't play sounds when it's minimized, you need the payware Flight1 Soundstream program to fix it.

il88pp Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 It plays sound after resizing to normal. If means "while minimised" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenvox Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Ok cool..I might have fixed it with resizing the resolution on the monitor...I haven't been back to the sim in hours it's 1:30 in the am Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk WJA221, BFL0200, ASA2703 http://www.darrensfs9site.weebly.com http://darrensflightsimblog.blogspot.com/ https://discord.gg/6d5V7Qu << <<<fs9 discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmhariano Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Darren, you're using fullscreen mode, right? At least with Win7 and Win10, FSX has some issues when switching tasks. The workaround is to use windowed mode. Thus, you may be able to Alt+Tab as you wish. Best regards, Luis Hernández Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
