Title: Engine and Flyby sounds dissappear
Post by: coffeesoft on October 28, 2014, 12:57:34 pm

Hi, recently i was installing from Scratch my PC, just the same setup to make a clean installation.

I noticed that inside some mods, i´m not sure if in all,  ( still testing ), the audio from the engines and fly-by are dissappear, i was installing the OS again just to be sure, trying with many "fs2_open" versions, different audio cards, etc...., but the problem still the same.
I have installed OpenAL....

Just i wanted to know if some knows something about this trouble, or if someone can point me in the right direction, i don´t know how to do it ...


Many thanks.

Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

Well, nothing really jumps out at me, except possibly this:

Code: [Select]

MISSION LOAD: 'massive battle'
Not really the best mission for testing to see if you're having sound issues. Does this problem happen during the actual FS2 campaign? If so, would it be possible to record the problem (either audio-only or audio+video, whichever you prefer, via your preferred recording software) so we can hear what's going wrong?

Sorry about the mission choice, i cannot load some of the mods with the DEBUG exe, give me many errors and can´t start, is the reason why i use the Massive Battle.

I wanted to ask first, just to know if is a known problem, because i loose many time testing and installing the pc.
So i want to make a good video with the issue and I'll post when Is ready...
Also i will try to install  everything again on a different pc...

Thanks...

Did you install OpenAL Soft by any chance? If so, where did you install it?

First i was installing "OpenAL.exe", like many times i did.... ( But not "openal-soft-1.15.1-bin"), I've never needed.
I have a small folder with the software needed for FSO, i was installing from Scratch many times without problems.

Is the reason why i ask, because i saw something strange with the sound, that never happened before.
And i don´t know what happens because the setup is the same...

I want to install it on a different pc using the same software, because i cannot do more test in this pc, always have same problem.
Anyway, thanks for the attemption, let´s fight with drivers   ;)

So you didn't install OpenAL Soft, if I understood you correctly. What happens if you change the audio device to Generic Software (other than losing surround sound)?

Now is working good   :p, i really don´t know finally was the solution, because i was trying many things   :banghead:

Last things i do was install openalsoft, that i never needed with same equipment, and also reinstalling OpenAL drivers.

I have 3 different audio cards on the system, one is on the motherboard, the second one i bought for gamming, and another for sound recording, may be was some conflict between drivers.

Anyway, problem solved, thanks
