Sound V5.2 Atc, aircraft engines

Post by Emile »

Hello, Since last Win10 update and V5.2 the engine sound volume changes when ATC start talking.
Can be solved in the Win10 Sound entry but must be applied after every PC reboot.
Other fix?
thanks in advance

I made a small modification of the JavaScript published on the net and made a script to reset "Do nothing" in the communication tab of the sound settings. This is the method I didn't want to do the most.

Code: Select all

var wait = function (title) {
    do {
        WScript.Sleep (100);
    } while (! WshShell.AppActivate (title));
};

var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.Run ("control mm sys.cpl");
wait ("Sound")

WshShell.SendKeys ("{TAB 3}% P");
WshShell.SendKeys ("{RIGHT 3}% P");
WshShell.SendKeys ("{TAB}% P");
WshShell.SendKeys ("{UP}% P");
WshShell.SendKeys ("{TAB}% P");
WshShell.SendKeys ("{RIGHT 2}% P");
WshShell.SendKeys ("~");
WshShell.SendKeys ("{DOWN 2}% P");
WshShell.SendKeys ("~");
Save this script as a JavaScript file (.js) and double-click it while it is set to "Do nothing" to complete the resetting.

Code: Select all

wait ("Sound")
This line depends on the Windows language environment. Please rewrite it referring to the window name on the upper left of the sound setting window.

I want to register this script as a startup with Task Scheduler, but probably due to security issues, Task Scheduler does not accept JavaScript files.

So I started a small launcher tool that I developed in VB with "Run with highest privileges" at logon with the task scheduler, and succeeded in indirectly executing the script automatically.

This is an executable file that does not need to be installed. Place the two files Multi Launcher.exe and Multi Launcher.ini in the same location, and double-click the exe file to display the setting window.

Since it is a loosely made tool, there is a bug in the initial settings. Click the "Open" button to display the file selection dialog. Switch the target file from "* .exe" to "*. *" (All files)
After registering the target JavaScript file, select dummy in the list box and click the "delete" button to delete it, then click the save button. Set the delay time until the target file starts with "delay". The "test" button is there to check if the registered file starts.

After setting up Multi Launcher.exe, register it in the task scheduler. "Create Task" will bring up the settings window.

Check "Run with highest privileges" in General Tab.
Set to "At log on" in Triggers Tab.
In the Actions Tab, set it to "Start a program" and select Multi Launcher.exe. Don't forget to register "-startup" in "Add arguments (optional)" here.

If it is not successful, please check "Run this program as an administraror" in the compatibility tab in the properties of Multi Launcher.exe and try it. You can do this in advance just in case.

Oh, excuse me. The script description has changed through Google Translate. It's a tedious method, but for reference.

Code: Select all

var wait = function(title){
    do {
        WScript.Sleep(100);
    } while(!WshShell.AppActivate(title));
};

var WshShell =  WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.Run("control mmsys.cpl");
wait("Sound")

WshShell.SendKeys("{TAB 3}%P");
WshShell.SendKeys("{RIGHT 3}%P");
WshShell.SendKeys("{TAB}%P");
WshShell.SendKeys("{UP}%P");
WshShell.SendKeys("{TAB}%P");
WshShell.SendKeys("{RIGHT 2}%P");
WshShell.SendKeys("~");
WshShell.SendKeys("{DOWN 2}%P");
WshShell.SendKeys("~");

Hi,

I have a similar issue, when it detects a ATIS and starts to read it out the engine sound goes completely. More often than not I can never get the engine sound back?

In v5.2, if you reset "Do nothing" in the communication tab of the sound settings before you start the flight, will the background sound at ATIS return to normal? The problem should not have changed.

Someone please complain to MicroSoft.
