Sound Lowering and stops while takeoff

Post by Godwyn25 »

I have installed P3D v4.5 with 3 screen setup. While takeoff sound lowering and it stops but when i right click on the center screen sound comes again. Anyone knows to solve this issue without clicking on the screen the sound should stay as normal. Your help is highly appreciated.

Hello,

Are you only seeing this with certain aircraft? If you switch to using one screen do you still see the problem?

Hello,

Do you have the "Mute On Lost Focus" option on? This setting is available in Options > Settings > Sound.

Hi Mute on lost focus is disabled. Also i tried other possible settings from sound in communication as well. All seems to be fine

Hello,

What view configuration are you using (multiple views, panel windows, view groups, etc.)? Also what add-ons are currently installed?

Do you still see this issue when using only one view?

If your (engine etc) sound lowers when ATC starts its a Windows sound setting that causes the problem. Basically it thinks the ATC is an incoming phone call and reduces all other sounds by up to 80%. To fix follow these steps

Go to Sound Settings
Click on Sound Control Panel on too right of screen
Click on Communications tab in this panel
Select Do Nothing and press Ok

Hope that helps.
