Losing Engine Sounds
#1

I have UN-installed and re-install IL2 1946 more than 5 time in the last 5 days trying to isolate a sound problem. The problem is that every time I start / stop IL-2 and select a aircraft from arming when I start the a/c I may or may not have engine sound. Sometimes I'll have engine but it will come and go. Most of the times I lose the sound when the engine is between 1500-2700 rpm but sometimes I'll lose it between 500-1500 and it may come back in at 2000 or 2700. I have 4.091bm and .93 sound mod installed. I'm using a unified mod installer created by the 352ndvfg. No on else who has used the installer has had this problem. I'm attaching a pdf to show the error reported by 7 zip(rar) when extracting the file parts to my IL-2 Dir. Some time I can restart the game all the sound are all OK but not every time, thats the funny part is that it comes and goes at difference rpm ranges. Also 352ndvfg is using the latest mods is there unified installer. My system specs. are

p-4 3.0 Ghz
2.5 megs of memory
nvidia fx 7600CS card/w 512mb
160 sata hd with 91 gigs available
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card (WDM) driver date 3/11/2004 /ver.=5.12.4.442

ok, if you uninstall the game, make sure that you delete the Ubisoft folder because the main files are uninstalled but not the mods. try that see if it helps :wink:

also i was shocked seeing you have 2.5 megs of RAM :lol: :lol:

I have done that, deleted everything Dir. IL-2 folder but since I have lock-On installed in the Ubisoft Dir. also I couldn't delete the Ubisoft folder. I used the add/remove program in control panel to delete IL-2 Sturmovik and than went into the ubisoft Dir and deleted what was left of IL-2. On the memory I meant to say 2.5 gigs, been up 2 day messing with this. Too-Cool

No it didn't work, I'm still getting random engine sound (engine cutting in and out) at different rpm ranges. It changes every time I change aircraft or shut down the game and restart. Its almost like my system is confused about what sound file to play. I may have a corrupt file somewhere but I'll be damed if I know where. Any Ideas? Too-Cool

Run DxDiag, check your sound settings. If the sound acceleration is set to full, back it down one notch to standard. That often will result in better sound and better frame rates.

Will try that and report back with the results. Thank for all your help on this matter. Too-Cool

You know, it might be a good idea to Upload my modded IL-2 folder to rapidshare, so people can download the working software. Might be an idea?
