The only problem i have since going to the 'm' update is the sound keeps going on me

Looks to be OK at first glance, but where are the promised tutorials?

Which sound library do you have selected; DirectSound, OpenAL, or XAudio?

I've found that the newly added XAudio library is be the best choice out of the three now, especially for my X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card driving my 5.1 headset or stereo speakers.

Oh, didn't know you could select different ones. I take it they are in the Pheonix program?

it does it with me also matt . i have no sound at start up but one deliberate crash and it kicks in when the heli resets!!( ok maybe not deliberate )

[DbyMA]

Under the System menu, select Program setup, then go into the Sound sub-section. In there you'll find a pull down to select the sound library, a volume slider, and a wind sound check box.

I was doing similar, crashing and resetting until the sound started working properly back in versions j, k, and l. But since m, and now with n everything seems happy again (speaks too soon).

I can't get the xaudio sound to work at all, it won't even install the latest directx on my machine, it just fails with some cab file crap. Got so fed up with it I didn't bother with it and went back to direct sound. This isn't a phoenix issue by the way it's vista and it's stupid permissions system.

[DbyMA]

Ah, that's good to know. I'll be staying with XP for the foreseeable then

I have found that XAudio, for me, is the only library that uses the 5.1/7.1 sound space perfectly. Using the other libraries, I had the main sound coming out of the rear channels!

Well i must say im getting a bit fed up of it all now to be honest. Just installed the new update, joined someones online session where there was only 2 of us in there. Everything seemed fine then within 5 minutes i get the black screen with 'program has stopped working' warning (windows vista). Im starting to wonder if they ever gonna get this thing right? Is this definately a final version too? Starting to think about other sims i must admit. Thats a thought that never crossed my mind before they went to phoenix 2.

I so agree with you Lee , im still on xp so not getting some of the problems some are getting with vista . Am well fed up with Pheonix at the moment though , its as if they have taken 1 step forward and god knows how many back . Im beginning to enjoy Real Flight more than Pheonix . Im almost tempted to go back to version 1 . Rob

[Made2Fade]

Im almost tempted to chuck the whole bloody sim and just got buy the newest version of realflight. Its getting silly now.

They do seem to be a bit blinkered about how well the networking side of it works or doesn't as the case maybe...
