You got latest drivers installed

What drivers are you talking about?

Well, If I read this post the good news is there is only a few people have reported the problem with the gun sounds, the bad thing is I'm one of them.  
I have SP2 and Acceleration hooked up.  For addons prior to the Weapons pack, I've done a hud update on the stock F-18 to a realistic hud, a hud glass update and the refueller update, all from flightsim.com.

Don't know if any of these addons would have any influence on sound? 

Today they sent me a revised .dll that created a log text, which I've included for some of you techies to look over.  Its a bit long and I don't know when the log started and stopped.

I did. It's all about saving ammo   We do not have any issues with sound.

We still get just about 10 people with the guns sound issues. Of course it's not good, but not that bad either. We keep looking...

Hello Flyer01,

I am looking at your solution to try to resolve this issue on my system. I have Windows 7 and I can't find this setting...is it only relevant in XP?
Thanks for your help,

Johan

Flyer,

Glad it worked for you, but it is not the fix all you think it is. I run XP Pro, with my sound acceleration all the way up, slider to full right. And I do not have the sound issue. Never have had from the first install. All my gun sounds work just fine.

Maybe it's a hardware issue...Do you have an addon sound card? I do not, just the integrated sound on the mobo...what type of audio card and drivers do you use? Not sure which integrated chip mine is, will have to check when I get home from work, but my audio drivers are the Realtek AC '97

Not trying to be a wise ass, just trying to help figure out what the problem is.

Some success with Hardware acceleration.  I first turned acceleration off in DxDiag and still had the repeating guns.  Then I turned it back on and I got single shots stopping as I should.  This works until I exit and re-enter FSX and then I have to go through the steps again.

I have Realtek HD Audio OMB and tried changing the driver but with the same results so I rolled back the driver. 

It is only a temporary solution or perhaps a clue to the solution because I don't want to repeat this process every time I load FSX.

I dindn't get any fix via E-Mail, reported this on my ticket, so hopefully the solution is in the mail.  The gun was great when it worked, especially since you could hear shots hitting the ground also.

Captain Sim,

I am one of the first customers mentioning the sound issue and have been patiently waiting for a fix from you. The first one didn't work, the second (ticket 6646) WORKED on the default F/A-18. I followed your install procedure step by step but discovered after removing the CSweapon.xml you sent as a fix that all my other planes with weapons installed were screwed up: HUD not showing, amunitions down to zero on all weapons, etc...I had to uninstall and re-install CSweapons and after too many hours, I am still not back to my working setups...disappointed that the "fix" did more damage than good.
Keep working on it though.
Thanks,

Johan
