[WideFS and SquakBox sounds]

Pete

Have you asked on the SB forum or newsgroup or whatever?

I have searched the AVSIM SquawkBox Forum and found one article on this topic, but it's just several guys with exactly the same problem and the same solution, ie ensure that WideClient has focus. I'll post a question there and keep searching; if anything comes up I'll post here.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you for the reply.

Do you mean that Squawkbox sits "within" WideClient, in the same way as it might in FS if run there?

No. SquawkBox sits in SBHost, a top level window provided as part of the SB package for that purpose. It runs quite separately from WideClient.

Really? I can't imagine what WideFS has got to do with it.

Nor can I, but it definitely happens. If WideClient has focus, I get sounds whenever a message is received in SB, when it doesn't I don't. I'm not the only one either, one of my fellow BAVers has exactly the same responses.

Any ideas gratefully received. Regards

Ben

Hello Pete

My first post here, so thank you for a great set of products.

I use FS 9.1 on a Windows 2000 machine, FSUIPC 3.4, WideFS 6.4 and SqawkBox 2.3.5 on a Windows ME machine.

My problem is that SB only generates sounds when the WideFS.exe window has focus; the rest of the time it is silent.

Is this a known issue (I couldn't find it in a search through this forum) and is there anything I can do about it?

Many thanks

Ben
