Stall seems fine.  I can hear the buzzer.  Maybe buffet?  I can't recall. 
I can hardly hear flaps. 
Gear, does it really matter?

No problems here. But all I have is a $20 pair of headphones and an onboard sound chip.

Cant hear flaps, gear, bomb release or explosions. Jet and typh engines are too unbearable and annoying to even keep headphones on

This is how I fixed it for now.   

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,293358.0.html

One thing that makes me nervous is that there seems to be almost as many different issues as there are combination's of OS & sound cards.   What's broken for others is fine on mine, and what's toast on mine others seem to have no problem with.  One thing I have confidence in is that Dale and crew will take care of us, so it's just a matter of waiting it out. 

But as someone who programs, I can say this: I hate it like crazy when bugs crop up in systems I built - but what really causes me to free the inner child is when each workstation it gets installed on is broken differently.

Yeah, I've seen that happen since the old Dos/Win3.1 days.

What's broken for others is fine on mine, and what's toast on mine others seem to have no problem with. 

I'm thinking this has as much to do with the over-customization that was allowed before as differences in systems.  For example, someone who had their flap sound turned all the way up before will have trouble hearing it when it isn't the overwhelming sound they are used to.  Someone who had turned their engine sound down all the way will find it far too loud regardless of whether or not it is.

Not saying it is perfect or doesn't need tweaked, but the volume of the whining and gnashing of teeth sounds more to me like spoiled children who have to get used to a new wubbie.
