vPilot - No Sound

Hey Guys,

I've recently started flying on VATSIM and I use vPilot to connect to the network. However, on my second flight, there was ATC online and I tried contacting him. From videos and streams I've seen of people using VATSIM / vPilot I noticed that there's usually a beeping noise when connecting to ATC frequencies, however, I did not hear that. I tried contacting the controller and the TX box lit up. A couple of moments later, the RX box lit up but I couldn't hear anything. The controller messaged me a few moments later saying he'd tried to contact me 3 times, I heard none of them.

 

So, in summary, I can hear NO sound on vPilot.

I have tried everything I can think of..

Running it as an administrator, checking my speakers / headset, the audio section in options and nothing has worked.

 

Any help would be great.

Cheers,

Cameron.

Make sure you install vPilot using "as admin..." (not a requirement but I've found it relieves issues); also make sure you have your headset plugged in BEFORE starting vPilot. Believe me, this is a MAJOR step, and headache inducer, I don't know how many hours I've spent trouble shooting this and all it took was to plug in headset first then start vPilot.
