That's odd...  I don't get any APU sound right now...

I wonder if there's just something funky with my install since I'm having these problems.   The  727 just got three new high-end awards, so I doubt that everyone has my issues.

Perhaps this could be that I'm running Vista, Captain Sim?

I have the same problems here, no sounds except engines and flaps.
no apu, no clicks...
The 757 appears to have the same problem sometimes,
so I tried the fixes mentioned there in the KB and the forum, but no result.
I'm running vista.
I don't know if these problems are related, no APU or non-stop APU sound,
but I hope all problems get fixed soon!

There are just too many versions of windows going around, XP 32 bit, XP 64 bit, all the vistas and windows 7. I am thinking there are compatibility issues because of this, this is why some people have minimal problems, and other people like me who run xp 64 bit are having several issues. not one of my captainsim aircraft can fly an ILS, and there are several sound issues. I hate to say it, but I am losing my patients, because my P*M*D*G* MD-11 performs perfectly with no bugs or any issues, but the cockpit doesn't look as visually stunning as the captainsim aircraft. I just wish the bugs will get fixed. CS aircraft look and sound good, and could very well be the very best addons if the bugs get fixed.

I agree about too many OS's- It's just Microsoft trying to make money...  And they still cut ACES  Shocked


I trust Captain Sim, though- it may take some time, but they do get around to addressing all the issues they can.

Well, I got an answer from Captain Sim at my KB ticket.
It was deleted stating it was already answered (KB# 2930)
Well, I tried each and every fix in that KB, and all combinations of them,
but still no cockpit sounds!!
I hope this gets fixed soon, because this beautiful aircraft really deserves it's sound!!

Well, I tried again today.
Very surprising result when I tried with the Cold and dark saved flight: cockpit sounds worked!!
not surprising however, APU sound keeps playing when APU is switched of...
I then tried again with a free flight startup, no cockpit sounds at all!!
I'll wait and see if this gets resolved in any way...

I am using 64 bit Vista. all sounds are working without any problem except APU. it even continues in game menu after exiting flight until closing FSX completely.

My workaround is never using APU. External power and external Bleed air works just fine in parking area.

same here I use 64 vista.  The only problem with external power and external bleed air is that realistically you would have to start the apu before pushback.  Unless of course you feel like starting your engines at the gate, before pushback.

No sounds - solutions
Reply #24 - Nov 2nd, 2009 at 6:17pm

Good afternoon,

I have read the KB answers regarding cockpit sounds for the 727.  Unfortunately neither of the fixes (installing C++ Redistributable and moving msvcr71.dll to the system32 folder, and cycling through the views) has worked for me.  I still have no clicking sounds, APU sounds, etc.

I run a mid-level system with Vista 64-bit.

Would love to hear from anybody who has resolved this issue or has suggestions.

Jeff

Hey Jeff,

I also tried the solutions you mentioned without success.
What did work for me (for 727, 757 and 767) was editing the sound.ini file.
go to your FSX root folder/captain_sim/727/
in there, you will find a file called sound.ini.
open that with a text editor (wordpad will do)
and change the value
"SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=1"
to
"SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=0"

I hope it helps, it did the trick for me with all airliners from CS.

Tyrion,

Thanks for the excellent idea.  Unfortunately still no go for me.  Oddly the sound files all work and seem to be in the right spot.  Guess i'll have to wait until the next patch.

Same problem. I tryed to copy dll, change all as wrotten in sound.ini file, but - no sound in cocpit. Sys is a Win 7 X64. I think, give up. It`s impossible to fix that problem, and as i see, that bug is not only a 727 - it`s a serail bug for all of Capitan Sim product`s, and is no a difference what a version number of aircraft you have...

This is how I fixed my sound issues with the 727 2.3 update:-

I had no pilot/flight attendant messages working. So to fix this I got the Captain_Sim.p721.P15.CAB file from the 727-100 v2.2 Panel folder and replaced the v2.3 one. They now work!

I got the other sounds working by changing the SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=1 to SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=0 in the sound.ini file


I hope this helps.
