FSX aircraft sound sticking?

Has anyone experienced their aircraft sound sticking? I've had it happen on a couple aircraft when I am a taxi speed, almost as if a higher rpm sound file is running along with the taxi rpm sound file.


Any help?
 
It happens a lot to me but not with every model. A quick double-press of the Q key to turn the sound off and on again usually fixes it. I don't know if it's something to do with throttle limits, but it seems to happen most often when I firewall the throttle instead of watching manifold pressure/revs carefully.

Edit - oh yes, that too - the AI traffic is disproportionately loud.
 
I have this problem. I never had it on my old rig running XP, but have it on my Win 7 set up on a new rig. I find maxing the throttle then reducing it sorts it out, but very annoying. If anyone has a fix, it would be welcomed.

This is a definite FSX bug. Everyone has it from time to time.
 
This problem is a result of a typing error in some of the sound.cfg files.

The default Grumman Goose has a command line for the left engine mis-labelled as the right engine.

I can't remember where I found the forum discussion that identified the problem, sorry.

Funnily enough I'm seeing it at the moment with the VRS Superbug. When I fire everything up I hear the afterburner noise playing in the VC, but not outside. It remains stuck that way until I advance the throttles and switch views, at which point it goes away entirely and never plays again.

At IRIS when we were developing the Vulcan I could never get the "howl" to play properly, and the sounds were awfully muted on my system and my system alone for some reason.

I have a feeling FSX doesn't like my on-board Realtek sound, and it's a shame because everything else works fantastically well with it.
 
I've had this ever since installing FSX. Doesn't matter how many times I reinstall, it's allways there. Tried running without using my SB sound card, didn't make any difference.

Very frustrating sometimes when throttle sound does not return to low rpm on approach.
 
I had this problem, it only ever showed up if I had cycled through my external views. It happened with all aircraft and I could only fix it by turning sound on and off quickly (q key). I then found out a permanent fix was to remove the top down camer view from my camera.cfg in

C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

Change *username* to your logon profile name.

I also removed the same entry from the camera.cfg in the FSX root folder.

I have not had the fake high rpm sound problem since doing this little tweak. I don't miss this view as I never use it.

I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
