[buceador]

F-16 cockpit switches are recently all silent, all other cockpit sounds are normal.

MODS folder empty
SCRIPTS folder empty
REPAIR done

TRACK file and SOUND options attached.

Thanks in advance.

well this is an odd one. i cannot say i have ever noticed sounds on and switches. maybe just used to it. what happens if you uncheck the "hear like in helmet"? checkbox? i have always had that box checked and perhaps that is why i dont hear anything. those helmets are pretty tight against the ears and fitted special for every pilot.

Thanks for your input, I tried that but still no switch sounds.

you had a mod in there at some point correct? 

It maybe a good idea to run a slow repair and look for anything left over. 

[buceador]

I'm running a slow repair.  The SOUNDS folder only contained .ogg and .wav files for use in missions.

[buceador]

I have run the slow repair, check all files (slow) 

No change...

Important to bear in mind that this is a recent occurrence - the extra files found are mostly reshade files and liveries. BUT there are also many files, including sound files related to the F16 - possibly ECHO19_CORE files?  Is is safe to assign ALL these extra files to a backup folder?

 

Edit:

I have removed ALL extra files but switches are still silent...

Where are the sound files associated with the F-16 switches located and are they encrypted?

[buceador]

I posted a problem on Friday re. silent switches in the F-16 in the DCS 2.9 General Bugs section.  Many thanks for all the responses, however nothing I tried actually corrected the problem.

There are no MODS nor 3rd party scripts, I attached a .trk file and DCS log. I did a slow repair AND removed all 'extra' files found, as I said, all to no avail.

All other cockpit sounds are audible like powering up RWR, weapon sounds, launch sounds, radio comms, hostile launch notifications.  Only the switches are stubbornly silent.

Can anyone tell me where are the sound files associated with the F-16 switches are located and if they encrypted?

Many thanks.

I have merged the threads. 

I have not been able to reproduce your issue. 

Can you attach your fresh dcs log again after trying to use the switches in the cockpit. 

thanks

Ok, I see he has the slider for Switches fully turned on (slider to the far right side).

Btw, can you select the Main audio Out and Headphones to your specific hardware? I know I have issues with sounds in VR, if my VR headset is not selected.

Did you check Switches slider in Options/Sounds? There is that slider for turning the volume for these switched up and down. I know I had the same issue.

 

Yes I did thank you.

I understand the Main Audio Output potential problem but as I mentioned, ALL other sounds function perfectly.

Try to lower the Switches slider for 10%.

Thank you, I did that too!

[skywalker22]

Btw, do you own any other FF aircraft? If so, how is the switches sound there?

I have tried with other modules and all cockpit sounds EXCEPT switches are working correctly.

[antiload]

Just a random FYI, I noticed when flying in SP last night that I couldn't hear a click when I turned off/on the master external lights master switch that I had mapped. 

[silverdevil]

@buceador - i also did not hear switch sounds in your track or in one i made. i went into options and found the switches have their own intensity. i moved slider from 100% to 300%. anyway i can now hear the switches as i remember them.

though it is not working for you.
