I don't know... the msvcr71.dll in the FSX folder itself is very important, as is the sound config change.  If you've done all that and no luck, I don't know.

I can only echo the above. If this file is the answer to our sound issues then could someone post a link or at least tell us where to find it.

Thank you

Got the file.

Installed as instructed.

All working perfectly now.

Thank you!!   

The main FSX folder is the top one that has everything FSX-related in it.  Look where all your programs are.

I started reading this thread with a confident smile as "all my sounds were working" or so I thought until I got to somewhere in the middle and my confident smile vanished. What? they have cabin crew announcements? I didn't hear a single one... then for the first time I peeked in the sounds folder and there they were.. I have upgraded my rig recently and its pretty decent (for the time being). Windows 7 64 bit with i7 920 overclocked to 4.0 Ghz and running very stable and have lot of games loaded on it.. FSX, of course being the main reason for upgrading.
After having read about the mixed luck that some folks were having with msvcr71.dll file, I was just wondering if this is the only required dll file from the microsoft c runtime library. Should we be installing the entire vc++ runtime? I think maybe the developers at CS can shine some light on this...
My main annoyance is not with not getting the announcements though. Like Tim, I really hate it when I toggle views and the aircraft when parked at the gate sounds like its going to suck the entire airport in and the engines are not even running. Has anyone figured out how to get rid of that?? From the threads I read, I tried everything but could not get rid of it.
I just love this plane and can't get enough of it, probably the reason I want it to be perfect..

Thank you.  I'm using Vista 64 Bit any difference?

i have been fighting trying to get these cockpit sounds to work for months now .ive tried everything i can find in the trouble tickets to no avail. any one with any tips ? any new direction could help.

thanks for the help but that did'nt fix it .the problem im having is there are no switch clicks ,stewardess calls ,call outs ,warnings ,bells and wistles ,tcas ,radar alt callouts ,. ive been beating my head aginst the wall trying to figure it out. i recently upgraded to a better pc and i have not been able to get them to work at all.on my old pc i could get them to work if i reloaded the aircraft but only until about 200 ft agl then they would stop and not come back. i will do whatever it takes to get these sounds to work.

update
FIXED!!!!!! i cant believe it! i installed the msvcr71.dll into the fsx root folder and whala. the only thing i havent heard is the collision avoidance system but i havent been close to another aircraft yet .i also would like to add that i love the new cockpit light setup i found here, the only gripe i had about the 757 [besides the sounds not working] was the night lighting. thank you for all your help.
