Gabriel Reiser Posted May 12, 2014 at 03:20 PM Posted May 12, 2014 at 03:20 PM So I'm flying with vPilot... I get a message from a controller to contact me, awesome! First time getting to use voice on vPilot. So I tune him up and hit my PTT and state my position and altitude. I hear a very soft voice come back, barely audible. I have voice set to 50% in vPilot so I decide, let's turn him up! So I move the volume slider to 100% and ask to repeat last. Again, soft voice, barely audible. I state I'm barely able to hear him and to relay via text. I go into windows mixer and turn down the volume of the sim and turn up the volume of vPilot. The next instructions from the controller are again, barely audible. What am I doing wrong? Why aren't I able to hear ATC more than a mutter? Is there something I'm missing? vPilot is great but without being able to hear ATC I'm feeling a little depressed and unable to quantify flying with vPilot because of it.

Ross Carlson Posted May 12, 2014 at 04:43 PM Posted May 12, 2014 at 04:43 PM Give wave a try and let me know if it makes any difference. I've had several users report this same problem, and I'm trying to find some similarities between their setups.

William Sequeira 1192651 Posted May 18, 2014 at 04:52 PM Posted May 18, 2014 at 04:52 PM Same issue, either Wave or Direct, which Direct being a little louder to me is still pretty quiet. I have all sliders, on my system and in the program turned all the way up. Any software edit we can do to "boost" volume? At the moment I am having to have engine, cockpit sounds all turned down lower than I like, and have headphone volume way too high to make sure I don't miss something. Thanks and thanks OP for bringing this up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
