reported 2.9 sounds bugged

[Cgjunk2]

The apu, turbine, and transmission sounds seem to have been stripped of mid and high frequencies as heard inside the cockpit.  The apu is nearly inaudible, and the turbine sounds are very quiet.   I can hear the transmission loudly, but the character has changed into something else without the full spectrum of frequencies.  The “hear like in helmet” option was verified to be off.

The work on the mi-8 sounds is still in progress. I have to say sorry, cause something has already got into the update, but it is not the final version. We are working on it. Please wait for new updates. And hope for your understanding

Cool that you are working on the Hip! Looking forward to the results!

Hi.

I think the sound is already great. Before the Mi-8 sounded much too unimpressive.

I am still very much looking forward to further improvements. Good sound is so important and often so little appreciated.

does anybody else feel like the flapping rotor sound at low collective/descending sound exactly like the EC135 after the newest update?

It sounds great! I compared it with videos of the real thing and it sounds close.

Could you please just put it back to what it was, at least until you have something better? We no longer get informative sounds like the wonderful airframe shaking noise we used to get passing into and out of translational lift. The APU can hardly be heard anymore, that cool sound when you shut it down is gone. And the force trim no longer makes the snapping sound, which in the real thing is loud and distinctive (I've heard it clearly over the engine and rotor noise in cockpit videos of the real thing).

You have internal builds. I'm not sure why unfinished stuff is getting promoted into the Stable release. 

OR... can we download the old sounds somewhere and mod it without breaking IC?

I don't know why we keep "fixing" stuff that was already excellent before. Don't you have any new modules to work on? How about bird sounds? Insects? Make the civilian traffic make noise and get rid of the canned traffic noises that some maps have that make no sense in unpopulated areas.

I still have all those sounds you described as missing. No editing or mods or whatsoever, vanilla 2.9 Mi-8.

I am up to date and don't run any mods in the base game and have run a full Repair to ensure my installation integrity. I'm also claiming exactly what the OP is. It's been this way for over 6 months!

I have to agree with Volator, i'm still hearing the clicking trim and the sounds going in/out the translational lift.

I'm running latest DCS without any mods(never).

Can you show us a recording? I'll make one to show you as well.

I did a quick and dirty recording, i will link it as soon as YT is ready.

Edit: I was not flying the Mi-8 for a long time, especially in 2D(normally i only fly in VR) so please excuse the rusty landing.  They changed the rattling sound effect, it's not that strong rattling anymore i believe or it's just that i didn't flew her for a long time. I should pick her up for some Naval - slingload - resupply runs

Yeah I guess they're there (I must have had my volume lower when I came to report this because I didn't hear them at all). 

They were a lot easier to hear before though and felt a lot more informative. I feel like we're moving backwards. Felt the same with the Mustang, liked it better before, now it sounds like a sewing machine. (Does btd use some kind of massive subwoofer or something that's making him suck all the bass out of sounds? I'm in headphones, so should be pretty accurate.)

(Forgive my flying too, I'm just trying to make it make sounds.)

(Oh and check out my "microstutters"! MT is unplayable! Yet ST performs fine.)

I was also flying with the MT version too, i wouldn't call that - in your video - microstutters, that looks more like freezes.  I had a break from flying DCS for ~1year(not much time), after getting back to it i had CTD's after 20 - 30min on every map and in every module. My guess was something went wrong on my end with the merge of the stable and beta version, so i deleted everything, downloaded DCS again and had to configure everything from scratch, now DCS runs perfectly fine on my end.

I frequently run full repairs to verify my installation integrity and have also tried it with all mods removed. No help.

ST works just fine though. (Though it's now starting to fall behind in features and they're threatening to abandon it completely soon. Ugh!)

That didn't work for me either, still crashing(my anti virus software was also not the problem). My guess it was something in the saved games folder, which i deliberately deleted and didn't backup.

Yeah I've temporarily removed that and let it make a new one to rule it out. (Then restored it when it didn't help.) Nothing bad in there. Good suggestion though, thanks.
