Broadband Audio
Hello, all.
I don't know if it's just me, but I seem to be having problems with the audio on my broadband display. Aside from the difficulty I'm having actually picking up decent signals at all, what contacts do appear are very difficult to distinguish from the background noise - at least to my ear - even when there's a fairly clear line on the waterfall. I do have audio switched on, and my hearing's pretty good, so I don't think that's the problem! Is this an installation problem, or a setup issue? I seem to remember that on 688i the player could actually listen to the noise quite clearly, but on DW I'm hardly hearing anything.
And I only seem to get 'fairly clear' lines on the broadband waterfall, at best - for some reason, even when I set up a test mission that puts me at 150' alongside a convoy of freighters I'm still only getting fairly weak contacts. Tracking - even hearing - a submarine seems more difficult than it should be, and usually anything above about 5kts leaves me with an empty scope. I know the more speed the more noise - but am I just expecting too much from my hydrophones?
I'd appreciate any advice on either of these two points. I'm a casual naval sim player who'd like to get a bit deeper (ahem) into this game, so I may not have provided enough information - please let me know if that's the case.
