Title: Sound issue with Prepar3D V5
Post by N90831 on Apr 17^th, 2020 at 5:13pm

Some of you may be copying files from P3D v4.5 to P3D v5 but not getting any sound from warning lights or sounds for switches.

The reason is follows:

Sounds will not appear because there is NO dll.xml file for V5 in the C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5 folder.

What you need to do is go to C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5 and add the folowing entry to the dll.xml file:

<Launch.Addon>
   <Name>Captain Sim Sound</Name>
   <Disabled>False</Disabled>
   <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
   <Path>Captain_Sim\bin\cs.sound.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

NOTE: this will probably be your first entry into this file

Be sure to SAVE.

Open up your V5 and clicks are audible along with warning sounds.

Mine works. And all I did is copy files from V4 to V5.

Make sure you are copying all files from the SimObject/Aircraft files.
Makes sure you are copying the entire CaptainSim folder over to v5.

No need to copy separate files.
Just copy the folders and everything in them will follow.

Yes I di<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="3,0" id="dll">
<Descr>AceXML Document</Descr>
<Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
</SimBase.Document>
<Launch.Addon>
   <Name>Captain Sim Sound</Name>
   <Disabled>False</Disabled>
   <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
   <Path>Captain_Sim\bin\cs.sound.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>d. ONLY have engine sound. Here is my .dii file
I added the second. The first was from my v4.5 and I copied all the /simobject/airplane form v4.5 to v5

I already see your mistake, the </SimBase.Document> needs to be under all the other lines.

This is what is shown in the P3Dv5 dll.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="3,0" id="dll">
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Captain Sim Sound</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>Captain_Sim\bin\cs.sound.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

Although what I find interesting, is that when I pasted the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Captain Sim Sound</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>Captain_Sim\bin\cs.sound.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

from the P3Dv4 dll.xml, that didn't work, so I removed the
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
</SimBase.Document>
elements of the dll.xml, and when I started P3Dv5, the sounds for the 757 III were working. I looked at the dll.xml again, and it had added the correct <?xml version etc...
