AIrcraft sound problems - tips and tricks

Hi folks,
I've finally got my 727 installed correctly (?) but I'm not getting any clicks when I throw switches, or an altitude chime when I approach my set altitude. I also don't hear any chime when I turn on the seatbelt or no smoking sign. And I don't hear the landing gear extend/retract. Is anyone else hearing these sounds?  Thanks

Regards,
Mark

So you managed to install it finally so what was wrong? and regarding the sounds you are not the only one no sound for switches and the rest and they are using default sound from 737-800.It's quite cheap to charge over £50.

I've had no trouble with the sounds (still).  All my cockpit and systems sounds seem to function correctly.  The only things that don't make noise are the light dimmer switches, which don't make noise usually.

Are you sure you got everything installed correctly?  I had no trouble with mine... installed and flew.

Hi Patrick,
              The installation problem was caused by my own stupidity. I have reinstalled FSX several times in the last month or so trying to get another addon to function properly. And the last time I failed to install sp1 and 2. Once I installed them the CS727 worked fine.

Regards,
Mark

Hi Bob,
          So your getting switch sounds? Are you using FSX sp2 with or without acceleration? Thanks for your input.

Regards,
Mark

I don't have these sounds either -- nothing for landing gear, any of the switches or any altitude alerts beeps for the altidude you dial into that gauge.  I am left wondering if there is something wrong with my install or whether they just aren't there.  Could Captain Sim respond as to what sounds we should hear?

Guys... To fix this issue, go to your FSX main directory, then, Captain_Sim\727...

There is a "sound" file...

Edit and change "SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=1" to "SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=0"

I don't know if you guys have the CS 757 but it has the same issue and that's the way you fix both airplanes cockpit sounds...

That's an interesting observation FDMBRZ79... I have slew key unassigned in my sim, I have no need for it, especially since it seems to mess up my FSPassengers flights if I hit it accidentally while chatting on an FSHost server.

marakab, I do get switch sounds on everything except the light dimmers, as to be expected (with the exception of the radio lights next to the rudder trim, which are not actually tied to any lights, this one "click click clicks" as you increase it.

FSX SP2 w/o Acceleration.

I did run into an interesting issue last night with the 727 though, after changing a view suddenly I had zero sound inside the cockpit.  Changing to exterior view, I had engine sounds, and switching back to cockpit my sounds returned.  This happened a couple times in this flight.  Only time I've had sound issues on the 727 at all.

If it recurs, I will use FDMBRZ79's suggestion of the SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=0 trick.

Hi fdmbrz79
                 Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I still can't hear any of the sounds in the "sound" folder being played in MSFS. I filed a support ticket with CS approx. 24h ago but I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Hopfully it will be a simple fix.

Bob thanks for your feedback too.

Regards,
Mark

Hi Patrick,
              Well this fix certainly is working for some here. I'll have to try a reinstall and see if that fixes it.

Regards,
Mark

I just fixed my missing cockpit sounds by using this fix I've copied and pasted from the 757 forum:                                                       First, make sure you have the file 'msvcr71.dll' in your FSX folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X
It's on your computer somewhere already, search for it.

Bingo!  Thanks for your suggestion Michael. It turns out I didn't have this dll file anywhere on my computer? I did however find it on the internet. After downloading and installing it I got my cockpit sounds working  Smiley

Regards,
Mark

Just installed the 2.1 patch. In the 2.00 version I had the same issue with no cockpit sounds.  Using the suggestion of changing the slew setting in the sound.cfg file worked to fix it.  However, in the 2.1 version it does not appear to be fixing my problem.

Any ideas?

Continuous APU sound

Been searching through the forums, some people have brought up the issue that the APU sound doesn't turn off when the APU is turned off. Is there a fix yet?
