No Accusim Sound with J3 Cub

Post by romandaniels »

Hello All,

Just bought the J3 pack and Accusim about a week ago. Installed it and everything seemed to be running smoothly. Then I realized there was no Accusim sound. The physics and menus are all working correctly but I am unable to hear Hedi, and all the Accusim sounds (switch/primer/ruder/airframe,etc). The only thing i hear is the basic engine sounds as if accusim was not installed. I followed through the FAQ recommendations for this problem with no avail. I have reinstalled the Cub and AccuSim Installers several times. DirectX is up to date. Checked DXDIAG, no issues there. The Three Dlls are allowed. FSX settings are correct. The Accusim Mix volume is at 100%. I Have also installed the most recent Accusim Update. The Problem PC is running Windows 8.1 (64-bit). I decided to try installing it on an older slower laptop running Windows 7 32-bit that already had FSX. Interestingly all accusim sounds where playing as they should. I have done my fair share of troubleshooting and understand that there are a lot of things that could be causing this problem. Any help would be appreciated before I completely reinstall FSX as a last resort.

The Accusim Physics are excellent, very realistic to a true cub, it would be nice to hear the sounds that accompany them.

Thanks,

Roman

Hello Roman,

okie dokie, when you ran the updater did it detect the cub and install the required updated files for you?

Also its worth noting that Accu-sim will play through the windows default sound device. If this isn't turned on etc then this will be why no sounds are being heard.

thanks,
Lewis

The updater did detect the Cub and updated files. And my headphones are set as the Windows default sound device.
Still no sound.

Hey Roman,

how many sound devices do you have attached to the PC?

And are your drivers all updated correctly and NOT using the default windows drivers?

Lewis,

For the sake of troubleshooting I am now using just the built-in speakers (set as the default device). The driver is up to date and not the windows default (Realtek HD Audio Driver). There are no other sound devices on the playback device list. I have been comparing the settings on the working Windows 7 PC to the problem PC. I can't seem to find any differences that would affect sound.

Is there some A2A dll that hasn't gotten replaced with the Accusim one? Not sure if you have any other thoughts. I'm beginning to think an FSX reinstall might be worth a try.

Thank You,
Roman

Hello Roman,

Is your FSX updated correctly to either Acceleration and or Service 1 + 2 standard?

Also did you install both the Cub + the Accu-sim package for the cub.

Yes i did install both the J3 Pack and Accusim pack for the Cub. I made sure of it.
I Still couldn't find anything that could be causing the problem so I bit the bullet and decided to completely uninstall and reinstall FSX and SP1+2.
After the install I ran the two cub installers plus the update installer, fixed all the FSX settings, and after all that still no Accusim audio.
I am beginning to think it is a Soundcard/hardware issue. but i have already tried removing and completely reinstalling audio drivers form PC manufacturer site.

So at this point I don't have any more ideas. Has anyone had any issues with this in Windows 8.1? I find it funny the audio runs fine of 7.
