Anyone else losing game sounds after 1st sortie?

I lose gear, flaps, engine start and stop.

Also having the vox doing wierd stuff.  Someone talks and shows the persons handle in the upper right corner but then it stays there and sound goes like they are holding there vox button down.  Only way I can fix it is go to clipboard, setup, prefernces, gamesounds and move the slider.  Then sound returns but handle remains in upper right corner.  Stays there until someone else talks etc.

Acting like the software has forgotten where the sounds are stored.  Doesn't make any difference if I use stock sounds or Mitsu's.

Thinkin I need to download a full and forget about updates.

That happens in AH1 too..... I can usually cure it by alt-tabbing out and back in again - 2-second job.  :)

Ahh

I've never had any of these problems in AH1????

AH1 works great for me.  Not sure alt+tab works in AH2?

Yes it does, I tried it the other day.  Either that or use the Windows key to minimise AH(2).  Then when you maximise it again, be ready for a sudden rush of noise as your sound comes back!  :D

Both of those methods still crash AH2 for me.  I even tried runing MSPaint at the same time when someone suggested alt tab needed another program running to alt tab to.  None of it works for me.

Question..

have you been down loading the upgrades?

or have you downloaded the full?

Thinnkin downloading the full might cure my system problems but have slow dialup and an 80 meg download will take along time. :(

Beta 36 works fine except for the Alt Tab thing.

Used the upgrade patches until I reformated my machine around beta 33 when I downloaded the full version again.  Been using the patches since then.

Of course the question was probably directed at Flossy.

I was downloading each patch as it came, but at one point (a couple of months ago) I had to do a full install after a hard disk crash.  Can't remember what version it was up to then, but I have only patched again since.

Question directed to anyone willing to responed :)

I've  been patching since AH19910.exe.

Was wondering if a full download and install could/would fix it.

Noticed the sound loss is different with each plane!

109g10 loses startup stop engine and gear.

Il2 loses engine start n stop and engine sound and flaps.

Typhie loses gear and flaps etc....

The Atl+Tab does not work for me.  Get the tan screen and freeze up.

Changing gamma now works though.  It used to also give me tan screen and freeze up.

wrag, everything you are describing sounds like a driver or you don't have dx9.0B issue.

Dang tried to put my DxDiag report on here on but says it's too long :(

Thought I had Dx 9.0b installed.  

Says version is "DirectX 9.0b (4.09.0000.0902)"

Have via 4n1 4.49 installed. (can't find anything newer)

Bios is 1009, there is a later version 1010 but haven't installed it yet.  

SoundMax (onboard MB) drivers are latest from SoundMax.  

Also have SB512 on machine but have it as disabled as possible (did this as a result of the reported sound problems and doesn't seem to have made any difference so thinkin of puttin it back on) but need it right now for joystick.

ATI drivers latest from ATI.

Note: when running DxDiag get an error at start  (which may be result of being online doiing this at the time?)

"Error: Problem getting sound info, result code = 0x8878000a (The request failed because DierctSound resources, such as the priority level, were already in use by another caller.)"

Would it help if a if I emailed my DxDiag to you?

Would love to get this problem worked out!!!!

TY for lookin at this :D

Having sound problems as well.

Ex: Spit9. Engine starts with sound. No sounds after that, to include engine. Can force the sounds on if I stall the AC and cause the stall horn to sound, then all sounds are heard. As soon as I correct the stall and the stall horn quits, all sounds quit as well.

Also, if I fly for a few minutes and don't touch any controls, the sounds come on, move to another view, especially with the mouse, sounds quit.

Fresh, full install.

OK here is what i've managed to do so far.

autoexec.bat vs autoexec.TSH  Also found files named b and c but no extension and nothing in em????

What is with this TSH file?????   Said it was a file created by system configureation program?????  And do not edit Autoexec.bat.  So tried editing Autoexec.tsh and no luck :(

Could not modify or delete autoexec.bat or autoexec.tsh!!!!!

Finally went into dos mode and deleted all autoexec.* files  and got rid of it.  And renamed the b and c files.

Hmm what is ydnie no exension?  got about 4 different file in my root directory with no extension.

Now I've got onboard sound turned off (SoundMax) and unistalled and reinstalled the soundcard BUT no volume control in system tray!!!

No longer get error message from DxDiag anyways :)

Haven't tried AHII yet but hope my sound problems are fixed :)

Still reassembleing my system after gonig though several hours of looking and trying to fix things :(

Thanks HT your reply gave me a clue and I started looking for anything and everything that might create problems.  LOL course I removed allot of software I now have to reinstall.

Anyone got an idea of what happened with this TSH file???

Note: system would hang on shutdown allot before I got rid of the TSH file, now it shuts down properly.

Well AHII sounds now seem to be working just fine!

Vox seems to be working fine!

Wasn't exactly a driver issue, was more of a misplaced doubled up driver thing???

Anyway got everything working like it should now :)

TY all for your help :)
