jerel2k6 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 I read and re-read the manual over and over. I edited the esound.cfg file per the manual. Basically, I am not getting any of the sounds to play back after several attempts at adjusting the cfg file. I am also using a REGISTERED version of FSUIPC. The only sounds I want to hear are the ones without the ";". I have pasted my cfg file below: [Devices] 1=Primary Sound Driver 2=SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [DF00] [Polling] Epic=10 Var=5 ;[Triggers.ERJPANEL1] ;[switchedTriggers] ;1=OnGround ;2=InAir [sounds] Path=ESounds ; Sounds for altitude calls on descent: ;1=ESounds\n500 2=ESounds\nappminimums ;3=ESounds\ 4=ESounds\nminimums ;5=ESounds\ ;6=ESounds\n50 ;7=ESounds\n40 ;8=ESounds\n30 ;9=ESounds\n20 ;10=ESounds\n10 ; Sounds for speed calls on take-off ;11= 12=ESounds\nv1 13=ESounds\nrotate ;14=110knots ;15=120knots ;16=130knots ;17=140knots ;18=150knots ;19=160knots ;20=ESounds\n10000 [Triggers] ; Altitude calls on descent ; NOTE that calls are triggered 10 feet early, to allow for delay is getting the sound ; out.

Thanks for any help in advance. Regards, Jerel
jerel2k6 Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Posted May 7, 2006 I made changes and did some renumbering thinking that may have been the cause of why I am not hearing any sounds. New cfg below: [Devices] 1=Primary Sound Driver 2=SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [DF00] [Polling] Epic=10 Var=5 [Triggers.ERJPANEL1] [switchedTriggers] 1=OnGround 2=InAir [sounds] Path=ESounds ; Sounds for altitude calls on descent: ;1=ESounds\n500 2=ESounds\nappminimums ;3=ESounds\ 4=ESounds\nminimums ;5=ESounds\ ;6=ESounds\n50 ;7=ESounds\n40 ;8=ESounds\n30 ;9=ESounds\n20 ;10=ESounds\n10 ; Sounds for speed calls on take-off ;11= 12=ESounds\nv1 13=ESounds\nrotate ;14=110knots ;15=120knots ;16=130knots ;17=140knots ;18=150knots ;19=160knots ;20=ESounds\n10000 [Triggers.InAir] ; Altitude calls on descent ; NOTE that calls are triggered 10 feet early, to allow for delay is getting the sound ; out.

Pete Dowson Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 I read and re-read the manual over and over. I edited the esound.cfg file per the manual. I'll look, but I haven't used Esound for many many years and probably will struggle to help. The only sounds I want to hear are the ones without the ";". I have pasted my cfg file below: There's so much commented out there that I've edited it to read it: [Devices] 1=Primary Sound Driver 2=SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [DF00] [Polling] Epic=10 Var=5 [Sounds] Path=ESounds 2=ESounds\nappminimums 4=ESounds\nminimums 12=ESounds\nv1 13=ESounds\nrotate [Triggers] 2=ALTITUDE_ABOVE_GROUND<=410, 9,1 4=ALTITUDE_ABOVE_GROUND<=210, 7,1 12=AIRSPEED>= 138, 11,1 13=AIRSPEED>= 148, 12,1 Now there are several things I think need checking: 1. Where is the Esounds path? If the path is set to Esounds, why is the "Esounds/" part also in most of the pathnames? 2. There's also only one sound actually referred to -- 12. Sound numbers 7, 9 and 11 were commented out, so those trigger lines are no use. You must relate triggers to the sounds else how does it know? 3. Where is the [settings] section and line defining the device, sound position and volume level for setting 1 which is all you are using? If you want to omit [settings] and just default it you need to either leave off the ",1" or use ",0". [Now I know this is explained in the doc]. Regards, Pete
jerel2k6 Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Posted May 14, 2006 Pete, Thanks for your help. I attached a new esound.cfg. I've been working on it.

I made a sub-folder in my FS sounds directory. Per manual it says to specify 1 = Esound\specialclick1 where specialclick1 is a wav file. Is this correct? 2. made changes to sound association (above) 3. I have a devices line but no settings line as I want to use the default. I changed the ,1 to ,0 as I want to use the primary sound driver in the devices section. Is this correct because their are two entries and I did nto know which one to use. 4. My current cfg is using token and multiple triggers (conditional) as I couldn't determine which method I needed. I am going to test with your suggestions to see if that eliminates my problem. Thank you.
Pete Dowson Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 Pete,Thanks for your help. I attached a new esound.cfg. I've been working on it. I still need to edit it to read it. Why keep all those lines you don't use? [Devices] 1=Primary Sound Driver 2=SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [DF00] [Polling] Epic=10 Var=5 [Sounds] Path=ESounds 2=nappminimums 4=nminimums 12=nv1 13=nrotate [Triggers.ERJPANEL1] 2=ALTITUDE_ABOVE_GROUND<=410, 2,0 4=ALTITUDE_ABOVE_GROUND<=210, 4,0 12=AIRSPEED>= 138, 12,0 13=AIRSPEED>= 148, 13,0 [SwitchedTriggers] 1=OnGround 2=InAir [Triggers.InAir] 2=ALTITUDE_ABOVE_GROUND<=410, 2,0 4=ALTITUDE_ABOVE_GROUND<=210, 4,0 [Triggers.OnGround] 12=AIRSPEED>= 138, 12,0 13=AIRSPEED>= 148, 13,0 Not sure why you have the line numbers matching the waves in each section. the Trigger line numbers are irrelevant apart from controlling order of execution. Is the [Triggers.ERJPANEL1] section correctly named for your aircraft? It seems an unlikely aircraft name -- you can see the aircraft title in FSUIPC's Flaps calibration section. I don't remember too much, but I don't think the switched sections will actually do anything unless you have some triggers which operate the switches. I made a sub-folder in my FS sounds directory. Per manual it says to specify 1 = Esound\specialclick1 where specialclick1 is a wav file.Is this correct? Well there's no point in using the Path= statement to give the path, then adding the same path to all the entries. The whole point of specifying a path for all the Wave files is to save you entering it in each line. I suppose it should work, it just seems very strange. You'd normally only specifiy an individual path when the WAVE file is elsewhere. I suppose the wave files ARE there? I changed the ,1 to ,0 as I want to use the primary sound driver in the devices section. Is this correct because their are two entries and I did nto know which one to use. If you don't specify one it uses the default one in Windows. That's all I know. Sorry. Regards Pete
