No Aircraft Sound Help!

Hi all,

 

I just recently installed xSquawkBox 1.3 for X-plane 11, and can setup the mic (Powerbeats 3), but I'm completely unable to hear any aircraft sounds! What am I doing wrong on this setup? Thanks.

Let me be a little more clear to see if anyone knows what is going on. I'm using a set of PowerBeats 3 earphones (Bluetooth). If I am not connected to VatSim, I can hear all aircraft sounds just fine. If I connect to VatSim via XSquawkBox, I immediately have muted aircraft sounds, but it almost sounds like they are just shy from being muted (can barely hear them, like a quiet whisper some distance away). If I disconnect, they immediately come back. Is there a hidden setting for the severe reduction in aircraft noises?

Do not use bluetooth headsets with XSB.

 

There's considerable compatibility issues with mixing stereo playback with audio capture with bluetooth devices due to limitations in A2DP and the handset profiles. For this reason they're not supported, nor will they ever be.

Please post any support related questions to the XSquawkBox support forum rather than private messaging me, thanks.

Thanks for the answer to that. I have another set of earphones that are wired and I'll see if they work.
