Okay so I went through both windows and AH3 and set everything to STEREO SPEAKERS / HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DEVICE. Now it is working but that may change...
I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.
If speakers disappear again, just change Stereo Speakers to Dolby Surround and next time just back. I normally shuttle between them when bug hits. With me this happens only in AH, not in any other sim/game I have in my mill.
This is exactly what is happening to me now. Over two years with this rig and it never occurred before last week. What an absolute PITA. I hope Hitech has some solution in the works. There are a few of us with this issue now.
Ok folks this is a thing now. Played all night and then went away for maybe an hour. Tried logging back in and the game hung up it crashed and then my next try I got the error.
Well not sure why but a simple restart and reseating my usb headset fixed it. I use the Jabre 75
Yep mine are still screwed. Funny thing is they work perfectly in OFFLINE mode every time. But online no.
