Sound issue FSX 2020 / FSX Play

[AimforPain]

Hello together,

I have since FSX 2020 the problems that 80% of the courses come with sound bird song etc.. Sounds ball charge are present. There are also cousres where everything works but only with very few. I have tried everything but could not solve the problem.

For info, sound on PC/TV is all OK.

Now I have since yesterday to FSX Play updatet with the hope that now everywhere sound is available. It is but the background noise birdsong are loud at the beginning and then very quiet.

I have no idea, does anyone know this problem?

For some reason, I like to hear the ball landing. For the most part, I usually can hear it pretty much all of the time. I don’t care about birds chirping, wind blowing or the ocean. I could be wrong but most of my courses don’t have sound. That bring said, the ocean sound comes on when I get to the 18th green at Pebble Beach. The new course, Detroit Country Club is so loud I just don’t play it.

I wish the sounds was more consistent on FSX Play. Some course have a little sound, some have none. I used to even turn on the comments on FSX 2020 (Dr Lousie Leaky) Haha.

Sound is certainly inconsistent. Played Detroit Country Club the other week and the first hole sounded like the ocean was 2' away... Completely disappeared after the first hole.

Thank you for sharing that information about Detroit Country Club. I booted it up to play again. The sound was terribly loud. I had to go outside for about 5 minutes and the sound was off when I got back in. I played several holes and the sound never came back on.

Sound also randomly comes on, sometimes. This has been an issue since early FSX 2020. I've tried to locate the problem to my PC but I don't think it's that (and, FSX software is not known for being so bulletproof that it should get the benefit of doubt...). I have given up. Either I just play without sound, or I wait for it to come on (which sometimes happens), or I restart FSX, or reboot the PC. Most of the time going through all of that, I can get it to come on. But it seems totally random.

yes that's right it's totally different, sometimes i have sound at the beginning and then not anymore.
Too bad it's not too much to ask for such an expensive software to have decent sound/gameplay.
I am a bit disappointed about this, as I was hoping that FSx Play would not be better.
Even awesome golf has no problems with the sound, that can not be the claim of Foresight....

WHY DOES FORESIGHT NOT CARE? It drives me crazy, I'm the idiot. Just bought another course, new pc with 4090 card, all in hopes that FSXPLAY would be better. I have played all the other softwares and none piss me off as much as Foresight. Sound is terrible, stats are goofy, club data not in analysis, but is in tiles, could go on and on. All I can say is I have steered many friends away from foresight, but i keep giving money, whats that definition, keep doing something and expecting different results! lol. Getting my money, but none of my friends.

You're 100% right. The product is so close to being really good but they refuse to treat it like a top tier option for simulation. Clearly it isn't part of their business model. I have enough in it I'llstick with it but I don't need any more courses thats for sure. And when it comes time to replace my launch monitor I think other brands will potentally have an advantage based on this.
