Lutz Loeffler Posted January 8, 2020 at 08:46 PM Posted January 8, 2020 at 08:46 PM Hello there. I am having troubles with xpilot on xplane11. The problem is the following: I have the latest xpilot software and have tried this with the default C172, Be58, Zibo, and TOLISS 319. I can transmit and controllers can hear me, I confirmed this via text. However I cannot hear a single word via voice, also no ATIS. Disconnecting xpilot of course lets me hear the normal xplane ATIS immediately when I do so. I use a steelseries usb headset, works with all other games. Mic works too. Yes, I have done the .rx com1 on thing, I have checked that the correct hardware is selected in windows and xpilot... I have searched lots of forums and similar posts usually ended up with incorrect win audio settings being the issue… I cannot identify any on my machine Anybody know any wise hints? Thanks for any help, appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Shannon Posted January 10, 2020 at 01:52 AM Posted January 10, 2020 at 01:52 AM If you have desktop speakers, can you try setting your xPilot output audio to those and see if you can hear anything?

Lutz Loeffler Posted January 10, 2020 at 09:37 AM Author Posted January 10, 2020 at 09:37 AM Hi Justin, I tried that, also nothing. It is a total mystery to me why this is not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Fuchs Posted January 10, 2020 at 10:15 AM Posted January 10, 2020 at 10:15 AM Must be some Windows issue. You are German, aren't you? We will be online tonight on VATSIM Germany's Teamspeak server, come and see us there. If you also have TeamViewer (updated to latest version), we can have a quick look into your Windows sound settings. I hope that we can get you going with xPilot this way.

Daniel Dezulier Posted January 10, 2020 at 12:05 PM Posted January 10, 2020 at 12:05 PM Hello, Audio trouble check reminder : Windows : When overflying tray speaker icon do you see if active output is your headset ? When opening sound parameters windows, from this overfly position, is your output peripheral [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned to your headset? When opening windows sound mixer do you see your headset and check headset sound cursor is up ? xPilot Opening Settings/Audio/PTT tab is your input device showing your used microphone ? is output device showing your headset ? see cursors positions for both speak on micro : do you see color moving ? X-Plane Check audio setting tab Are sound activated See cursors position Check reception with activating ATIS andlistening to your current airport's one Check plugins/xpilot/setting and verify listening port numbers (btw if not good connection troubles may have already happened) Heavy problem tracking : Backup your x-plane/output/preferences folder and delete .prf (heavy method as I wrote) Check if it solve Then file by file restore previously saved .prf files one by one until finding the one causing pb, if pb comes from perf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutz Loeffler Posted January 10, 2020 at 08:24 PM Author Posted January 10, 2020 at 08:24 PM Hello Andreas, yep, German, living in Switzerland. I have TeamViewer but unfamiliar with teamspeak. Any other way to communicate? Regards, Lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutz Loeffler Posted January 10, 2020 at 08:28 PM Author Posted January 10, 2020 at 08:28 PM Thank you for the checklist for soundproblems, Daniel. All done, MIC works, normal ATIS (xpilot not connected) works fine. No audio reception with xpilot. I have not tried the prf files yet.
