No Egine Sound While in Cockpit View

[SimPilotTrev]

Hi
I wonder if somebody could point me in the right direction please. I have suddenly lost the engine sound in the cockpit view - no problem when outside. Whilst in the cockpit I can hear the rumbling as I go down the runway so it seems to be an engine sound specific problem. I can also hear other outside noises generated by P3D's default sounds and default aircraft are ok, so it's clearly not a general sound problem - I am aware A2A does not use the default engine sounds so I guess I need to understand what A2A file is driving the engine sound while in cockpit view, so I can take a look. I have a suspicion that my Saitek Cessna Trim Wheel may have something to do with it as I always need to move the wheel before starting up P3D - Windows 10 then recognises the USB device. I have seen strange things happening with sound if I don't get the process right and this might be one of those instances.

So in short, where do I need to look to see if the sound script has changed for the engine whilst in cockpit view and what should it read?

Thank you
Trevor

Hello,

the Accu-sim sounds will play through the default windows sound device so make sure this is turned on and volume up would be the first thing to check.

thanks,

Hi Lewis
Thank you for responding to my enquiry. As I mentioned in my initial post I am getting engine sound when in outside cockpit view - it is when in cockpit view that I have no engine sound or switch sound or any airframe creaking, although I do get wheel rumbling sound when taxing down the runway for take-off. The fact that I am getting sound when in outside cockpit view must mean my windows default sound is working. As also mentioned, there is no problem with default aircraft sound when in the cockpit. This problem is specific to the A2A C182 which leads me to think I need to look at one of the A2A files but I don't know which one?

I hope the above clarifies the problem and that you can assist further.

Thank you
Trevor

Hello Trev,

It's possible that your P3D sounds are assigned to a different audio device than your default windows device (e.g. a headset), whereas the A2A Accu-Sim sounds can only be played through the default Windows sounds device as far as I'm aware.

However, I'd say the first thing to check is that you haven't inadvertently turned down the volume control at the bottom left of there shift 3 'controls' window. This 'slider' is used to control the Accu-Sim sounds (i.e. the internal cockpit sounds) independently to the other sound effects.

Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick & Lewis
I have had another look at my windows sound settings and have found the default sound was for some reason deselected. I have changed the setting back to 'default' and all is well. My apologies for wasting your time, I should have looked at this more closely in the first place. At least I can back to flying a great simulated aircraft.

Many thanks
Trevor
