Audio not working in DCS World

[Gavilan_PAV]

Hi

 

After installing DCSw 1.2.3 in my computer, I'm facing a strange problem.

The sound is not working. Of course audio is activated in the settings menu, and in the operating system as well.

 

After 24h investigating I'm not able to make DCSw sound

 

My operating system is WinXp SP3 32 bits and have DirectX9c installed.

 

In the same box I've other sims like FS9, Prepar3D, Falcon 4 BMS, LOMAC Flaming Cliffs2, and never before I had sound issues with them

 

Any help will be appreciated

 

Thank you in advance

ah 32 bits, it never smells good when I read that.... Do you have a soundcard? Actually you should post your specs please.

 

PS : you should have posted it in the bugs & problems section.

Hi

 

Thank you and sorry for posting here. If you want I can post this topic again in the proper section

 

My soundcard is integrated in the motherboard and has Realtek Chipset. As I statted above, I have no sound issues with the other sims I run in the same computer

 

Regards and thanks

Hi, no prob I'm just saying, I'm not a moderator, it's moved anyway :)

May be a DirectX or realtek driver problem. Check it out.

Yeah!!!!

 

I checked dcs.log. There was written something like "Update your DirectX Runtime"

 

And that`s what I did, with succesfull results

 

Thank you very much

 

PS: I hope the other simulators which with I had no sound-related issues still work propertly :) Didn't test it

 

PS2: DCSw runs veeeeeery smoothly in my dual core 2,6 GHZ computer. Maybe due to my imagination or ilusion, but I feel it has a better performance than FC2

 

Regards and thanks

Nice! You're very welcome!

You'll not have any issues with the other games, don't worry, it's better to be up to date most of the time (And I see the other games you play require a DirectX updated anyway).

 

It's really rare to hear someone satisfied with DCS World on a 32 bits OS, but as you are happy with your product I wish you to have fun flying around!!

 

Good day.

You would probably need to upgrade to a 64bit O/S soon......ish.

Yep since they will not suport the 32bits in the future.

Yeah, as soon as I can collect enough money to upgrade the computer as well

 

I guess the sim is going so smooth, because although I have an old box (dual core, 3 Gb, nVidia GeForce 9800 GT 1 Gb), it's dedicated exclusively for simulation, and optimized for this purpose. I have no software installed, which is not directly related to simulation, nor antivirus, nor office tools, nothing, and all unnecesary services stopped. For this reason sometimes I find that any component could not be upgraded (like DirectX in this case), since I hace Windows Update disabled, and only install concrete things that I could need (like upgrading DirecX in this case)

Don't you mean they will not support 32 bits in future???:music_whistling:
