No multiplayer sound anymore

[Spetz]

Hello all, here's my problem.

 

I have no sound either in cockpit or out in 1.02 BS. Single player works just fine and the problem is ONLY with DCS BS.

 

Steps I've taken..

 

1. Confirmed all volumes are up in game, control panel, TS 3 and creative alchemy software and tested - Heard everything.

2. Updated all Creative drivers I could, all Directx End-time's (several years worth), and ran DxDIAG. All came back no problems found, etc.

3. Uninstalled all MODMAN mods one at a time, and tried multiplayer - no joy

4. Uninstalled DCS BS (deactivated just to try it out), and reinstalled 1.0 version, and then patched directly to 1.02c - Fired up singleplayer - sound works great. Fired up multiplayer - nothing at all. (TS 3 can be heard in game)

5. Tried adding the line to the autoconfig.cfg file, as per PanzerT's thread from a while back, no joy.

6. Verified all settings state "headphone", and all windows properties for sound are (currently) 16 bit, 44,000. (tried different ones, still nothing)

 

7. Disabled Soundblaster X-FI and ran mobo sound only -AH HA !!! Sound - but in game sounds are very, very quiet. I have to crank the sound up but that in turn cranks all the other sounds up as well, such as TS 3, etc.

 

8. Checked properties, now it says 24 bit, 44,100.

 

I'm not at a loss as what to try now..anyone ?

 

EDIT !!!!!!! I feel like a complete idiot now...I alt-tabbed out of multiplayer and opened my volume control..Well la-de-da..there is now a volume slider for DCS BS there. It was on 4... I moved it to 15 and all is good...I have NEVER seen that before..ever.....

Well, you already resolved it, but take a look at this:

It's the FAQ for the new sound engine in 1.0.2 patch.
