Im not able to hear anybody on vatsim apart from the occasional russel of somebody texts. I flew a couple weeks ago and everything was fine but i just cant get it to work any ideas?
Depending on what client you’re using, you could/should check out their FAQ / Troubleshooting documentation. vPilot has several tips, not sure about the others.
Still can’t find out how to get the output device to start playing as ATC can hear me but i cant hear them and i have checked all my settings
Again, your best support may be in the support forum for your client. If your client has a FAQ / Troubleshooting guide, like vPilot does, you should follow all the steps and document the results from each step. There are a lot of variables here, many of which have been written about. Most likely, the solutuion has been found and documented. But without us knowing what client you’re using and what troubleshooting steps you’ve tried and what results came from each of the troubleshooting steps, all we can do here, especially in the General Discussion forum, is sympathize and try to point you to the client FAQ / Troubleshooting guides…
As an example: vPilot Tips, Tricks, FAQ and Troubleshooting Guide
Most common issues that I recall for that issue have been not running the client as an Administrator, not making sure Windows allowed the client app for sound, the ASUS Sonic Studio issue, Antivirus programs blocking some or all features of the client, and not making sure radios were powered in the sim. If you try all of those, forum searches within the correct client forum may unearth more ideas (though I’m going to guess that the issues I listed above were the reason for about 95ish (or more) percent of peoples’ voice issues).
