William Su Posted April 15, 2020 at 04:21 AM Posted April 15, 2020 at 04:21 AM (edited) Not sure where to put this. I have a Asus X570-E ROG motherboard. I was having issues receiving voice transmissions in vPilot after updating my audio drivers in Armoury Crate. All the sound effects worked fine (broadcast notifications, private messages, etc.), Just couldn't hear ATC and Rx didn't light up. I managed to fix this by installing the audio driver patch from ASUS. Apparently it's caused by a double install of Sonic Studio. Hope this helps anyone who's been having the same issue.

Morten Jelle Posted April 17, 2020 at 04:29 AM Posted April 17, 2020 at 04:29 AM If RX did not light up, I don't think you were in range to hear ATC. I'd suggest you double check you are actually in range with ATC and do some testing there.

Luis Cortez Posted May 13, 2020 at 12:22 AM Posted May 13, 2020 at 12:22 AM (edited) I have the X570-F and I'm having the EXACT same issue. I thought I might have been out of range but I'm sitting at an airport with ATIS. I can TX but cannot RX, ATC can hear me and confirmed via text. I get all other sound notifcations, all input and output devices are set in Windows and vPilot. Windows 10 64 bit. Although I have a Corsair Void headset which I'm sending all sound to while I wait for my speakers to ship. I get no voice into the headset so I'm not sure if its a motherboard issue? Any luck anybody? Edited May 13, 2020 at 12:23 AM by Luis Cortez Luis Cortez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this solution. I thought I was going crazy. On Asus z-390 mb and after a driver update vPilot (and xPilot) stopped receiving ATC. After deleting Sonic Studio everything back to normal.

I fixed it by downloading a driver patch from the Asus website. Hello, so I figured out how to fix this problem without deleting Sonic Studio. Inside the Sonic Studio software (I have Sonic Studio III running on Windows 10), navigate to the "Record Studio" tab, then to the "Virtual Mixer" sub-tab and turn on the "Virtual Mixer". Set your "Sound Tester" monitoring device to your speakers, then under "Applications", add vPilot. Inside the vPilot app in settings under "Audio", select the "Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer" as your Output Device. Before doing any of this, I did update my Asus ROG audio drivers from the Asus website, linked below (not sure if this has anything to do with the fix). That should fix it. That fixed it for me. Happy flying!

Daniel Saffran Posted February 20, 2022 at 01:34 PM Posted February 20, 2022 at 01:34 PM Updating the Audio Drivers from Asus Download-Center or ArmouryCrate-Bloatware? Good Luck - they don't care updating the Drivers! (First and LAST time asus for me!) But there is a very committed community member in the forum which links the most recent drivers for Realtek Audio: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?117596-DRIVERS-Realtek-Audio-(MB-Intel-2xx-3xx-4xx-5xx-amp-AMD-3xx-4xx-5xx) I'll use these on my X570-E and never had such Issues with vPilot 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
