No audio on vPilot

[Oskar Lambert 1333400 0]

Hello,

 

I recently downloaded vPilot again because I wanted to fly again on VATSIM. It has been over a year since the last time. I filled everything in. Selected my headset as output and my headset mic as input. I'm able to hear the private message notification and messages coming on frequency but I'm unable to hear the controllers talking, I can't hear the buzzer and don't hear anything when switching frequencies (I don't know if the last 2 things still exist on vPilot). This is frustating and I'm really looking forward to hearing the new realistic VATSIM voice comms. I hope this can be fixed.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Oskar

I have a similar problem after I upgraded Windows7 to Windows10.

 

When the vPilot client WINDOW (on remote laptop) is NOT IN FOCUS then all voice IN and OUT is not heard.

When I bring it on top then I hear sounds.

Anyone know how to fix this ?

Try running vPilot as admin.

All I can suggest is:

ensure you have the latest software release here: https://audio.vatsim.net/docs/2.0/pilots/vpilot

 

Make sure you run the program in admin mode, this should hopefully help with your problems.

You are right, that fixed it, thanks

I just upgraded my CPU and when I connect to vpilot, I can transmit and be heard but cannot hear ATC. I only see RX illuminating when ATC transmits but no voice heard. 

Solved: With the new CPU came Sonic Sound, which seems to be the issue. I uninstalled it and now all is working well.

I have the following issue with vPilot.

After some considerable time passes (like 30~60 minutes) while on 122.80 without communications I realize that I do not RECEIVE any voice calls.

When later I tune in and TRANSMIT to ATC on line, I find out (by later asking) that ATC hears me but I do not hear them so the inbound calls seem to be blocked after some time of inactivity.

I close it, re launch it, connect and then it works (checking with ATC).

I run the client on the same single PC without any network remote setup.

Each time I launch it with right click, run as Admin.

I am the admin in the PC anyway.

I have the vPilot window visible on the side screen (extended desktop).

Audio devices are all properly set up and tested.

Just in case, I have set UDP Inbound & Outbound rules with port 3290 open but that did not change anything.

vPilot is already recognized and allowed in Windows Defender but I added the above rules anyway.

Is there something else I could set up with Windows Firewall rules ?

I do not have a separate software/hardware Firewall, only what Windows 10 provide i.e. Control Panel->Windows Defender Firewall->Advanced Settings->Inbound & Outbound Rules

Any clues ?

Windows 10, up to date updates,  vPilot always updated, Prepar3D v5.1, No other 3rd party antivirus etc.

I've got something similar.

vPilot running as admin, I can hear ATIS and MSFS autocontrollers, the RX lights illuminate when I presume a controller or aircraft is transmitting, but I cannot hear anything myself. Defender is set to allow vPilot through, totally lost as to what to try next! It's getting tiresome to keep typing out the clearances when I'd just like to transmit and receive properly.

Earphones and speakers are set to the appropriate devices, password is all in the green...

You may want to try setting the audio output device in vPilot to your main speakers and see if that works, just to eliminate there is no issue with the headset.
I assume the sim sound is routed to your main speakers rather than the headset ?

[Kyprianos Biris 2]

In my case, Sim sound routed to external speakers, vPilot sound routed to headset.

I saw your post a couple of weeks ago Kyprianos, did you get your issue resolved ?   I was just suggesting that James try routing vPilot to his speakers to eliminate any issue with the headset.

Negative, still if I fly for some half hour without ATC interaction, voice coming in goes quiet.

[Andrew McCabe 10]

Hmmm.  I am still on FSX.  Maybe an issue specific to MSFS.    Sorry I cannot help.

Ohh no don't be sorry, I thank you for the care to think. I'm on P3Dv5 until MSFS "matures" and it still has some way to get there.

I think I had similar issue but was able to resolve it.

I use two sound cards - one for my desktop speakers and one for my headset.  My headset runs on my SoundBlaster and it looks like my software changed the Speaker/Headphones Configuration to another option (in this case it was 5.1 Surround). By changing it back to "Headphones," I was able to hear ATC again through vPilot. Not sure if this is the same issue you are having but maybe it will help someone!
