Check if the correct sound device is selected in the GSX Sound settings.

Hi umberto

I'm having a similar problem.  It's playing sound through my sound card device not my headset.  and my headset device isn't showing in the list on the gsx settings.  Even though its there on p3d and my desktop settings.

This has happened since I created a new p3d.cfg file.

Any help appreciated

Try after a Windows restart.

If your audio device is still not there, then it's possible it might not support OpenAL, which is the standard audio library we use in GSX (used in hundreds of other PC games).

In that case, unless there are updated/better audio drivers that DO support OpenAL on that device, there's really nothing else you can do, other than using another device.

Unfortunately I got the same problem after switching to P3D.

I run P3D on the same computer that I used for FSX where I had no problems. When I go into the sound setting and select my headset the sounds are there, but very low.
When returning to the speakers they are gone again.

I noticed today when I used the catering vehicles that the sound came from a Cessna, but beside that silence.

Best regards

I'm not sure GSX can handle switching of a sound device without restarting. We probably never tested it this way.

Well I got same problem.

Randomly GSX cuts off sound, I go into settings and see <no audio> and no audio devices but if I restart Couatl I get all audio devices and sound normally, but it can randomly appear <no audio>, it happens almost all time and I have to restart Couatl to get sound working.

Only happening since last update.

Nothing in the last update every has the slightest relationship with the sound handling, which has been the same for years. The only possible explanation, is that something in your audio drivers or setting has changed in the meantime.

Namely, the way your audio device supports OpenAL, which is the sound standard used by GSX (since it was released).

Guys,
I managed to solve the problem at my end.

I went into GSX Settings in P3D and in Audio. Ticked the "Restart Couatl and repeat audio diagnostics checks" and click apply.
Couatl updated it restarted and once complete I had a third (new) device option that I selected and it works now.

Best regards
