DCS World missile explosion/impact sounds?

[Boris]

This bug was originally reported over a year ago. It's kinda worrisome that it's not fixed yet. It's almost like they tried but gave up on it.

Is this sound bug occurs also in DCS 2.0?

Thing is, I've only ever had this problem with 1.5.x

 

When I switched over to 1.5, i found that missions I created in 1.2 didn't have the explosion sounds.

 

Now with 1.5, i found that this problem seems to happen randomly. Even missions that I make using 1.5.x still sometimes have no sound, while sometimes, that exact same mission will have sound no problem. Same thing for missions that were created in 1.2

I haven't seen any randomness to it, although for a long time it felt random and I thought I was going crazy. I spend most of my time in the mission editor, so I'd be playing/testing a mission and the sound would be fine, and then later I'd notice the lack of external sounds and think I should try to look into it more next time.

 

Then next time the sounds are fine. So I was always confused about what caused it and for a while thinking I was imagining it.

 

But, it's actually just because I had restarted the sim. First mission works fine, but if you fly a new one the external sounds are broken. I suspect something in the sound engine that deals with propagating sounds (so distance sounds are heard after they are generated) is not being properly reset between missions. That's just a WAG though.

 

So now I completely exit and restart DCS every time I finish flying, and the external sound always works. I've been doing this with 2.0 as well, though I need to test if it's actually necessary. If it doesn't occur in 2.0 then we just have to wait for the Great Merge to occur. Fingers crossed.

This issue is not only for missiles I think. Sometimes no sound with bomb impacts (such as CBU-12 or CBU-97). I hear only a little crack sound or something like that.

 

Last night I and my wingman saw this bug in a MP mission. V1.5.4

Yes, as stated above, it's not only just bombs and missiles, it's all explosion sounds. The little crack you hear is the metallic sound effect for when armor is damaged. But there's not explosion like it should. There's also no sound when aircraft crashes.

Tested with 2.0 and the bug is still there. So, exit and restart between every mission is now a way of life.

Since the DCS 1.5.4.55584 Update 3 08-05-2016, in MP I'm not hearing bullet hits in the P-51D. I also didn't see any tracers while being fired at, and I'm always on the bad end of that deal :huh:

[dresoccer4]

want to chime in as well just 'cause :)

have to now completely restart the program after every single mission. shew!

[JazonXD]

I have no knowledge in coding whatsoever, but at least on the surface, it looks like a rather easy fix? I mean, if restarting the whole game every mission fixes it, it must have something to do with restarting the sound engine? Maybe just a piece of code that makes the sound engine restart/shut off after every mission?

DCS 1.5.4.57013 Update 6

 

The sound of explosions will be play after mission restart

 

Seems like that they have finally fixed it?

thats exciting. can anyone confirm if that's true?

was working for me when I tested it :)
