Title: NO Cockpit Sounds CS757 III, P3Dv4.5
Post by RonK77 on May 21st, 2020 at 1:13pm
I'll add myself to the long list of 'CS757 III No Cockpit Sounds' victims. Apart from the engines, I am getting no cockpit sounds. ALL other aircraft work perfectly: another company, FSLABS, MAJESTIC, another company, TFDI, A2A, another company, etc.

Platform: P3Dv4.5
Version: Prepar3D_v4_Professional_4.5.14.34698

CS 757, latest version 1.5

What I've tried to do so far:
Uninstalled all CS757 packs
Reinstalled Basic Pack with all AV (including Windows Defender) turned off
Repaired Basic Pack with all AV (including Windows Defender) turned off

dll.xml  -  checked
Path: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4
confirmed entry:
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Captain Sim Sound</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>Captain_Sim\bin\cs.sound.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>

cs.sound.dll  and  cs.panel.sound.dll   -   checked
Path:  D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Captain_Sim\bin

I just spent almost a whole day going through everything suggested in the NO SYSTEM SOUNDS messages.

With absolutely 'no joy'! >:(

But here is what I found that got it to FINALLY work:
I am not an IT guy, so don't know any xml entry rules - I can just copy and paste

So what was missing from your info is: when editing the dll.xml file and adding the following:
<Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Captain Sim Sound</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>Captain_Sim\bin\cs.sound.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

it seems to be vital to end this with the following line
</SimBase.Document>

I found out about this after running tis fix-it file (which doesn't include P3Dv4 btw!)...
dll-xml-cs-sound-fix.exe
...and comparing the dll.xml from P3Dv3 with the one from P3Dv4
That's when I noticed that the </SimBase.Document> line was missing and since adding that it's all good now. It just took too long to get there. :(

The installer always adds the

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

between the the

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">

and

</SimBase.Document>

lines. That includes for FSX, FSX:SE, P3Dv3, and P3Dv4 (it has been installed at least 3 times in each of these due to the original istall, and install after a PC upgrade, and installed again after a HDD replacement). I'm not sure why it didn't do it for you though. :-/
