Andrew McCabe Posted November 16, 2021 at 08:54 AM Posted November 16, 2021 at 08:54 AM Could be you have activated "sticky keys" in Windows by mistake ? Happens if you press SHIFT 5 times. It can be deactivated in Settings Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkos Papadopolo Posted November 16, 2021 at 01:28 PM Author Posted November 16, 2021 at 01:28 PM I have checked sticky keys and they're not activated. Strange thing is that mic suddenly stops working and freezes as the image shows. Any more ideas or help would be really appreciated! Thank you!

Orest Skrypuch Posted November 21, 2021 at 04:43 PM Posted November 21, 2021 at 04:43 PM (edited) I have experienced this on two machines, with different setups, with different mics, and even two different VATSIM login apps. The common symptom to all of these is (1) seeing your AUDIO page in the settings of your VATSIM app full over, as you show, and (2) ATC will report that they are hearing a helicopter like thump, thump, thump when you Tx, and (3) normal mic operation in the Windows mic panel. It is actually NOT a stuck mic. If it were, then ATC would hear you normally. Instead what they hear is that loud weird static. This is being generated somehow within Windows, interacting with the AFV module common to all the VATSIM apps, those are the only two commonalities. It may relate to some Win10 update, and if so, there will be increasing number of folks that experience this. I have tried everything to try to mitigate this without success, including running in Admin, changing to 44.100, removing the ability to take over a mic. I have now tried locking out all the other apps with microphone permission setting, and monitoring what is using the mic. I also uninstalled all the XBox junk that Windows installs. Kind of desperate, but this essentially shuts down my ability to participate on VATSIM. @Ross CarlsonI'm wondering if some of the app designers have any insight, although it is not an app issue alone. But, I can clear the issue temporarily by in vPilot selecting a different microphone in the AUDIO screen, applying, and then reselecting my normal microphone and applying. * Orest Edited November 22, 2021 at 08:59 PM by Orest Skrypuch Orest Skrypuch President & CEO, UVAwww.united-virtual.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew McCabe Posted November 22, 2021 at 08:49 AM Posted November 22, 2021 at 08:49 AM Not sure if the folks having this issue are using USB connected headsets, or analogue ? May be worth updating, or reinstalling the audio drivers for the motherboard and see if that makes any difference. Recall reading something a while back about issues with a set of Realtek audio drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orest Skrypuch Posted November 22, 2021 at 07:50 PM Posted November 22, 2021 at 07:50 PM (edited) USB for me, the Logitech 533. I have uninstalled and reinstalled more than once, but good suggestion. Now totally disabled Cortana. * Orest Edited November 22, 2021 at 09:00 PM by Orest Skrypuch Orest Skrypuch President & CEO, UVAwww.united-virtual.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
