Putting an APB out on my sound mod issue. I have had some terrific help and support from fly_zo and others and have made some progress (see viewtopic.php?t=6546 ) BUT the darn issue of missing engine sound is BACK both in cockpit and external modes!
I am exasperated to say the least with this issue! I initially did not install the Sound Mod but just the Mod Activator and the 409_MOD_b1m mod. I then installed the new A/C and several mods like the new clouds, exhasut flames, etc. All this stuff was great so I wanted to install the Eng Sound Mod to get the full effect..
The issue that I had and now still have is with missing engine noise typically the USN A/C and many of the multi-engine A/C. I would get something of the A/C to work but they never stayed that way. So I went ahead yesterday and did a full reinstall and followed install procedures: Eng Sound Mod version 09, 409_MOD_b1m.exe and then the wrapper and AC_INSTALLER_v2_2.exe.
I met with success (and let me tell you what a difference it is with the new engine sounds!) but this am I checked it and the issue is back - no engine sound from the cockpit view in the Corsair, Hellcat, Thunderbolt, A-20s and many of the multi-engine planes. Also on F2/F3 mode the eng sound is the stock engine sound?
However many of the other aircraft that I checked have the Eng Sound Mod (Spitfire, Hurricane, 109, 190, P-38, P-51) in cockpit and F2/F3 modes. I don't really understand the issue especially since this second go around I followed procedure. The first time as I said I didn't install Sound Mod just the MOD_Activator_v5_2_IL2_4_08 and 409_MOD_b1m.exe. I only realized later that for the sound mod you need either the Sound Mor OR the MOd Activator not both - so I thought that was my issue.
I have searched the forum and have found the same issue as I have explained but with no clear cut "fix" - some have set sound on set-up to headphones, others have reinstalled the Sound Mod version 9x but told the AC Installer that it was a later version, others in the sound set-up go to default settings and do not enable extension. These are some of the fixes used by members but this has not worked for me.
I have also read that with the Sound Mod version 9.0 that it will periodically do this and to reinstall the mod and it will fix itself but I have tried this as well with no luck.
I'm very interested in the Eng Sound Mod and asking for some members advice on a fix that has worked but also on why this happens even after I did a reinstall and it worked for about a day. Any help and advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
