Hi

 

thanks for the report, can we ask you to attach your full dcs log when it happens, we may see more clues.

 

I will ask the team about this issue

 

thank you

Log file with the audio issue, I cut some of the file down trying to get it under 500kb so I could attached it, then realized I could place it in a zip file. Next one will be the entire thing. I seems to happen more frequent in the F-16 and MiG-21.

Here is a full log of it happening, became unplayable towards the end.

I just got into here by googling a DCS crash of mine.

What does your Event Log say for around the time this error occurred?

@ChandawgIs this still an issue for you?

If it is a USB device, check whether the plug/connection is OK. The log looks like the devices gets disconnected, then connected again.
