Radio Operation - can't turn on

Hi, I'm a newbie. I have SB3 and FS2004. I had the radios working now they are not. I can start SB3 in FS2004, connect and submit a Flight Plan all ok. When I tune Com1 or 2 to ATC freq for my airport I can't hear the controller and neither is the 'green' light showing for either of the Com radios (737-400).

 

It's probably something simple and I have read all the relevant docomeentation. Your [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance appreciated.

After reading some of the other posts in this forum, could it be that there was no ATC (Oceana) at the time?

You can see which controllers are online by looking at the right hand box in the SB window. Only those radio frequencies will be active. If you tune to any other frequency then nothing will happen with the radio. I'd suggest go to a not too busy airport and do some tests with a friendly tower or ground controller.
