fixed [FIXED] Loss of sound

[Svaroga84]

I am on the Steam edition Open Beta.  It just did an update and I seemed to have lost the included engine sound on the F1 only.  Reverts back to the default turbine sound.  I'm not aware of any other issues at the time.  I have run the file integrity check that didn't work. Uninstalled it to no avail either.  I must be missing something... Forgive my ignorance

Do you have any mods?

Please attach your dcs.log file ("Saved Games/DCS.../Logs/dcs.log" - the file may appear as "dcs").

[Svaroga84]

Only mods are the Echo 19 sounds for the F-14 F-16 and F/A-18.

I don't see many error messages, apart from those when you're flying:

Try to disable your ECHO mod, and try a "slow" DCS repair if that's not enough.

Cannot seem to get the cmd function to work.  I'm on Windows 10 using Powershell.... Followed the instructions..

Hi,

dcs.log

since the latest update (well, the one before today's hotfix), I noticed a change in sound as well. In cockpit, it is much quieter now, only the AB sound is like before.

 

From the outside, it has completely changed to another sound... That characteristic F1 AB sound is missing, and I also noticed that the heatblur effect is much bigger than before. It looks like it would have changed the source for the engine sounds to a different model or so...

 

Attached is my DCS.log. Only sound mod I have is the one from NIN for the Mig 21. I disabled it but I still have the changed sound in the F1.

I am on the standalone Open Beta.

 

Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Just press Windows key then type "cmd". PowerShell is a different tool.

@Erlkönig I don't see anything wrong in your log file. You can try a "slow" DCS repair as well.

 

[Erlkönig]

OK. Are keybinds and settings endangered by repair or are they kept?

[Flappie]

Not endangered at all: DCS repair only messes with the game core files ("/DCS World/" or "/DCS World OpenBeta/ folder).

Haha I'm really struggling with this

 

[Flappie]

Ah, OK, you're running the Steam version, which does not have the DCS repair utility. Simply use the Steam "Verify games files" option.

[Erlkönig]

Did a slow repair and cleanup, nothing has changed. Still have the quiet sound in conckpit, and in external view, there is a most distictive change to the build before: Even at idle there is a huge heatblur and pretty loud sound already. Can anybod confirm this?

[MAXsenna]

Nothing changed for me with the latest update, as far as I can tell.  

[Svaroga84]

Yep I did the verify game files option.  Still the same.

[Flappie]

And your mods are disabled?

[Jacodv201]

I have the exact same problem except my afterburner sound is also gone. It happened right after the last big update. I have already done a full repair, I have no mods, and a clean save game folder.

I am having the same issue. Reinstalled the game, deleted config folder, nothing works.

Oi,

dcs.log 180,33 kB · 3 downloads

desde a última atualização (bem, antes do hotfix de hoje), notei uma mudança no som também. No cockpit, é muito mais silencioso agora, apenas o som AB é como antes.

 

Do lado de fora, mudou completamente para outro som... Esse som característico de F1 AB está faltando, e também notei que o efeito heatblur está muito maior do que antes. Parece que teria mudado a fonte dos sons do motor para um modelo diferente ou algo assim...

 

Em anexo está meu DCS.log. O único mod de som que tenho é o do NIN para o Mig 21. Desativei mas ainda tenho o som alterado no F1.

Estou no Open Beta autônomo.

 

Qualquer ajuda é muito apreciada, obrigado.

 

the same here. I don't use mods.

Everything is default for me. It doesn't seem to be an audio issue, more of a game engine setting issue. When rotating the camera between the midway points the noise changes dramatically almost like you are in the air flying at higher speeds. When the engine is idle its really loud too. Something with the  environmental settings seems to be off.

Hear like in helmet? I haven't checked that one.

[Erlkönig]

Hi,

 

I have attached a video of the issue. External view from the beginning is "Idle - Full Throttle AB - Idle".

 

 

Sounds completely different to what it was on release build.

 

Hear like helmet is not checked.

I had the same thing (engine audio much quieter than before, still the same noises, but quieter) after the last update. No mods, absolutley vanilla install. I assumed it was intentional. No mentions in the patch notes, but something definitely changed.
