i just bought a new headset, and i was wondering, is there a way to set it up so only ATC communications come through the headset and the flightsim sounds come through my speakers? or do i need 2 separate sound cards? thanks

If your computer has front and rear sound panel outputs you can do it with one card

you need to activate fsx atc and transmit for it to change. if that doesnt work add me you your messenger list so we can talk about the possible troubleshoot.

You may need to update your sound card drivers, you can also check on the sound card options, for example mine has a test feature on the sound management software and it alows me to see if this feature is on if not I can activate it from the sound mixer properties.

Save yourself a ton of trouble and just get a USB headset.

In any case you do need two hardware output audio devices, and installed in Windows. See Windows "Sound and Audio Devices" in Control panel, if you can select default output device from two or more devices in the list.

 

Notice Front and read in/out connector does not typical mean you have two audio devices.

 

If you get USB headset then you will automatically get one more audio device (in addition to e.g. your motherboard audio device).

 

If you already have two output audio device in your computer, then you can select one for FS-sound and an other for an analog headset.

 

FS9 output sound use Windows default output device (the one you have select in Windows "Sound and Audio Devices" as default).

 

In Squawkbox (Im pretty sure FSInn as well), you can select any installed input and output device from a list.

You stated what I wanted to write, and just didn't have the energy to Lennart, thanks.

 

I can confirm that FSInn also allows you to select from your list of available sound devices.
