Don T. Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi. I hit the wrong button before I explained the problem. Not very smart. Every element of FSX functions properly except the sound. The sound option is checked and all the volume sliders centered. When I open the sound folder (FSX/Sound) all the files are there and when I activate a wav file the the sound is heard, but not so when I run the program. Very mysterious. Would be very grateful your expert help. Cheers. Don. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 If an airplane (1) has sound ALIASED to airplane (2) and you don't have airplane (2) then you won't get engine sound from airplane (1). Or is there no sound for all airplanes? Also: what Windows version? got Sound card? have external Amplified speakers? Win 10 recent update?

mrzippy Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 So, your Sound setting page looks sort of like this: And you don't see any "sound off" in the upper right corner of the screen when yu fly?

napamule2 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) In the sound folder there HAS to be a sound.cfg that will call the different *.wav files as needed. If you don't see one then that's the problem. If you see one, check to see if there might be a typo in it. You should tell us which airplane you have loaded and can't get sound from. To check if the FS/Sound files work, dial in 'Rain & Thunder & Lighting' in your weather and see if you hear thunder.

il88pp Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Do your other planes have sound? (And what plane is the one that does not have sound?) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don T. Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi. My FSX Sound folder does NOT contain a sound.cfg. Do you know how I can resolve this issue? Many thanks for your help. Cheers. Don. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 My FSX Sound folder does NOT contain a sound.cfg.. Neither does mine. Nobody in this thread told there had to be one (although one poster came close). Too many assumptions made, and too complicated possible solutions presented in this thread, without giving you a chance to check and reply first. Hard to see the forest for the threes IMO. Do the simple things (like Zippy's pic) first. Also, try hitting the Q key (toggle sound on/off). Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the Sound folder in your Main FSX folder, mine doesn't either. I think Chuck was referring to the sound folder inside of the aircraft folder. +1 Wim! ;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

Don T. Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Hi. My sound settings page is similar to yours except in the Windows sound device box. Mine has one selection "configure" which opens the Realtek audio device which is enabled as the default device and functions properly. When flying the "sound off" does not appear on the screen. What I don't understand is why, when opened, a wav file contained in the main FSX sound folder will produce the appropriate sound and be heard but no sound of any kind is heard when running the sim program. Very mysterious. Any thoughts would be most helpful. Cheer. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) And for every aircraft tried? Starting to wonder if all of your FSX sound from the SIM is being sent to non-existent headphones instead of your speakers. It might be time to go to Control Panel/Sound or Control Panel/Hardware/Sound and check through those settings and see if there is a setting checked for headphones.

il88pp Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Shut down fsx. Unplug (the two) speaker plugs from your pc. Plug the speakers in again. That will make the speakers the default device. Start fsx again. Try the sound in a default aircraft. Not in one you installed yourself. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don T. Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hi. Yes I did. I found a "Spatial sound format" related to headphones and it was turned off. I have tried everything I can think of even an uninstall and clean reinstall of the sim from my DVD's but nothing solves the problem. I'm dumbfounded and very disappointed. I thank you again for your interest and help. I will keep trying and maybe stumble on a solution. Cheers. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 One last thing that I can think of....go to control panel,sounds,communications and make sure the "do nothing" box is checked.
