Skissors_Wolf Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 The Call! co-pilot callouts don't work. And when I go into the configuration tool and click the 'Test' button on the Sound tab I hear nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 FSX or FS9 install? Did you run the installer as admin? Are you running EMB configuration utility as admin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skissors_Wolf Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 FSX:SE Yes. Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 So the Call! checklists don't work? Or are you talking of the callouts, 'speed alive', 'v1', 'v2', 'rotate', etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skissors_Wolf Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I never got that far. I mean the startup checklists. I was following the directions on the introduction flight and when I started with the first checklist I wasn't hearing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Uninstall. Reinstall. Make sure you install as admin and when first starting FSX approve the new gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skissors_Wolf Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 No change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 When you press the Call! screen to begin a checklist does the icon for that list change color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skissors_Wolf Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Initially it changes to red. And then after a little bit of time has passed it will go green, but there's no sounds. Do the buttons and switches for the panels make sounds also? If so those are silent as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Try pressing the 'Q' button on your keyboard to cycle FSX's sound . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skissors_Wolf Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 That didn't work sadly. I have verified that the sound files are do exist. I've reinstalled DirectX and the VC redistributables. Does my OS being Windows 10 make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skissors_Wolf Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Initially I was not... I've tried Windows 8 Compatibility mode and that didn't help. I'm about to try Windows 7 Compatibility mode. And to answer yer earlier question about the callouts 'v1', 'rotate', etc.. No I'm not hearing any of them either... And the verdict is Windows 7 Compatibility mode was a waste of time too... Edited April 6, 2020 by Skissors_Wolf Update info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stumped. What you report reads like the gauges haven't been approved correct by the sim. Since v2 release, 10+ years, I've no memory of this issue being reported. A last ditch effort is a reinstall of FSX and rebuild the add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skissors_Wolf Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I can try that. Lets hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 @Skissors_Wolf just to confirm you purchased the steam edition of V2 through the Steam store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO try reinstalling FSX and then installing the Ejet V2 you have as a first possible solution. If that doesn't work ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skissors_Wolf Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I already tried reinstalling FSX and then Ejet V2... Didn't work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides some issue with the V2 battle with a Steam FSX I can only guess that there is a hardware/OS issue/problem. Is you audio card (sound) driver up to date?

Skissors_Wolf Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Sound drivers are up to date, yes. The FSX blocks this file EJetH.dll in the steam version. It complains that it is an unsigned file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skissors_Wolf Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I did... I don't know which fixed it but I went into the dll.xml file and removes all references to the non-steam version of the files and then I told FSX and Steam to run as admin. Still don't get any sound but at least it's not blocking the file now... And I just figured the problem out... I use a software mixer... The panel hates anything that's not a direct source to the sound card. As soon as I set the speakers to the windows default sound source the sounds started working... So it looks like whenever I want to fly these planes I have to make sure the sound source is set correctly for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
