paulw10 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I have a 2.1 speaker set-up on my PC, so I usually set my speaker layout to "2.1 Stereo". This has been ok for at least the past few years or so. However since the last few updates (sorry, I have been a little distracted by another game!) I have had no audio. Finally I discovered changing the speaker layout fixes the problem. With speaker layout set to "2.1 Stereo", the error message below appears in the DCS log. ERROR SOUND: Failed to Initialize IAudioClient: 0x88890008 (AUDCLNT_E_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT) I have attached my detailed dcs.log file. Towards the end I have cycled through the available speaker layouts. You can see when "2.1 Stereo" is selected the error(s) are generated. All other layouts are ok. DCS/2.7.10.19473 Hope this is useful info. P.S. During my problem investigations I have ... DCS_Updater cleanup, DCS_Updater repair, DX11 re-install, Nvidia driver re-install, HD audio driver re-install, et.al.

silverdevil Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 DCS.log shows 7 audio devices. and also changing from one device to another. which audio device works? do you have the sound settings set to auto? i had a similar problem. in my i have a USB set of logitech headphones. the set got dropped and it fubarred the cable. when i turned my head, the USB disconnected. the sound changed to the speakers. i could go back into sound settings and manually change the values and it would work. replaced cable and now no problems.
