No problem Pete, I'll do as you suggested, try reinstalling DirectX and eventualy Windows sound drivers. However, reinstalling P3D (and add-ons) is not what i'm looking forward to. Especially because everything works great, except for the lua sounds. Well, I will continue my quest and keep you informed if and when I find a solution. Again, thanks for youre time and trouble! Regards, Paul

I forgot to update to your version of FSUIPC, version 4.859d, before I made the attempt. Sorry!

Hi Pete, Finaly found some time after my vacation to Luxor,Egypt (and a few days of "The Curse of the Pharao") to renew my quest for the missing sound. I did as you requested and added the lines Debug=Please LogExtras=x20 to the FSUIPC.ini file I started P3D, waited until the aircraft was in 'Ready to fly" modus and then pressed the button to invoke the Soundtest.lua file. Still no sound.

Hallo Pete, Sorry for the long post but i have tried to attach the requested files, that didn't work, error: "You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file". So i just copy & paste everything. I made a simple LUA script to test the sound facility, it looks lke this (very basic, i know, just for testing) -- Soundtest.lua SR=0 SD="" SP=0 PLY=false SD=sound.device(0) SR=sound.play("CabinAlert",0,100) PLY=sound.query(SR) if PLY==true then SP=1 end ipc.sleep(2000) The sleep function is only to let the sounfile play out and to watch what happens in de console window. I have also pasted the output in the console window: Console Started ...

Hello, I use Prepar3d and have recently updated from version 1.3 to 1.4. As suggested by Lockheed Martin, I did a clean installation, completely removing the old version and installing the newer one. So I had to reinstall FSUIPC (v.4.853) as wel. No problems here, everything works as a bell. Exept for the .lua scripts that I made before (GF modules; avionics handling, APU handling,...) and where sound is used (APU startup,Cabin signs,...). Before upgrading Prepar3d all sounds invoked thrue the sound.play(filename) function worked fine, sounds were played normaly. However after the upgrade the sounds won't play anymore. The scripts work fine, there are no errors, the sounddevice is recognised and the soundref value is assigned. However the sound.query function returns as "false". The sound files are in the default "\Prepare3D\Sound" map and I tried using the sound.path function, no effect. I have tried reinstalling FSUIPC, no effect. All other simulator sounds, as well as PM Sounds, are played normaly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
