SimSounds - Current release: 4.0

[Juergen]

Hello Thomas,

since a few weeks I have a problem and maybe it is not related to simsounds.
My transducers are connected to an extra soundcard soundblaster audigy. All my add-ons are startet automatically via batchfiles when starting my computer.
Simsounds is started at the end.

Since a few weeks I don’t hear anything from the transducers when starting the engines, but when I open simsounds and open the soundcards Tab, open the Airplane Tab and press ok without changing anything Simsounds is like initialize and after that the transducers work perfekt all the other sounds in simsounds work without that action
I deleted the soundcards.ini file and assigned all the cards again but that did not solve the problem. Also i tried to change all the settings that could be made of the soundblaster card. The card is not the standard sound card and not the standard communications card in windows - in the past all worked perfect.
I am on Win10 2004. and newest Beta from Simsounds

Do you have an idea what that could be ?

Hi Jürgen,

sounds to me that your sound card could not be initialized when SimSounds starts. No idea why. Sorry ...

Hello Thomas,

after further investigation i found out that SimSounds when i first start it engines and turbulence in active state shows, but engines are off and plane is on the ground.
I am using fsuipc 6.0.10 and P3D V5.
Maybe the problem is connected to this initially state, because after a second start, engines and turbulence is off ?

Beside that SimSounds shows me using P3D V4

Hi Jürgen,

I guess that FSUIPC needs some more time to read all sim values. Please try to insert a further delay for SimSounds by adding the following line in SimSounds.ini:

[General]
FSUIPCRequestFirstRequest=15000

The default value is 5000 and this means the SimSounds waits for 5 seconds after connecting to FSUIPC before the first request takes place. With 15000 SimSounds will wait 15 seconds after the connect.

It's just an idea ... but it may solve that issue.

SimSounds reports P3Dv4.5 .... that's alright.

Hello Thomas,

sadly that is not the solution.
I think the Problem is, that if the Engines are assigned to the Transducer SimSounds starting with the state Engines on. If the engines not assigned to the Tranceducer Tab SimSounds starts with engines state off (like it should be)

Engines not assigned to Tranceducer

Simsounds initialisiert

Engines off

Engines are assigned to Transducer

SimSounds initalisiert

Hi Jürgen,

I have absolutely no idea why the connected sound card should have an impact on the way SimSounds behave. Because there is no difference.

Hi Jürgen,
what changed "a few weeks ago"? Did you install another FSUIPC version? Switch to P3Dv5? Anything else?

Hello Thomas,

that was the hint.
There was an App installed called „Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer“ after removing that all works fine again.

Thank you for your support !
