Lepres Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Have been flying in Obyx world exclusively since installing the multitude of regions/airports. Not sure if I had noticed this BEFORE or AFTER adding all the FTX regions though --- in all the aircraft I've flown in, I notice there is a constant "knocking" or "cracking" sound loop that repeats every 2 seconds or so. It is very subtle in the background of the engine sound, but audible enough to be heard, especially when in VC looking through 10 or 2 o'clock directions. Anybody came across this before? Anything to do with my FTX installs? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (PC Aviator) Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Likely your sound card/chip. I dont see how scenery files could cause sound issues in your aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepres Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Was just thinking whether the special sound effects from some scenes could have interfered. Will try and trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Is the sound associated with a particular phase of a flight , is it constant irrespective of your FSX World location, ?? These are pertinent questions to establish whether or not this anomaly is scenery related which I don't believe is the case. I suspect that you may have installed or changed some software that is tied into the sound set up. I have had this happen with the surround sound Stereo isolation and just as you describe looking left and right at a particular angle the sounds went rather strange. ripped out the Audio driver's and reinstalled them checked the sound settings in Windows and FSX problem solved. Just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepres Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks Maurice. The odd sound only shows when engine is on, particularly more obvious when at say about 80% throttle. When in shutdown there isn't any such problem. Haven't installed anything else other than a few fs aircraft add-ons and of course FTX. Will investigate further.

Maurice_King Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Sounds like a positional stereo sound issue and as such your sound driver's might be the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkH Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Just a nod to the 'bufferpools' tweak, which can cause sound anomalies. Look here for some info on why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepres Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Haven't done any tweak. Anyway, the odd sound has mysteriously disappeared. Hope it won't come back, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
