Choppy Sound When Looking up
« on: March 15, 2017, 08:40:37 PM »
Every time I look up, or hold while looking up. The sound starts to become very choppy. Can't figure out a fix for the life of me, and it's been on going for a while now.

headset?

trackir?

If you are wearing a headset and physically moving your head it may be possible that you have a loose or damaged wire / connection that only shows itself when the headset is turned a certain way.

Mine has been doing the exact same thing in offline practice.
Hit the look up button, sound breaks up. Been doing it since day one!

My equipment is brand spanking new!

It's not my headset. It does not happen anywhere but AH.
Only happens using my thumb toggle to look up, or pressing the "5 key" on the numerical keypad. Not physically; I don't own TrackIR or any movement tracking tech.
It happens in Online and Offline Arenas, and in every Aircraft/Vehicle

Have had the same problem since Alpha.  The choppy sound happens in radial engine planes looking up, but not inline engine planes.

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

I get this too. If it's not in every plane, it seems like it's in lots of them. If i can remember the next time on online, I'm going to start a list.

I noticed yesterday that it's only choppy with my USB headset and is fine with my USB speakers.
