Missing Screw Sound

captcrane · 01-18-16, 09:40 AM

Ahoy Guys. Took some time off for awhile and just reloaded the game. But I have run into a problem with the hydrophones. I get the compartment noise but when the hydrophone detection light comes on I can not hear the screws turning. I mostly play stock game and currently in an S-Boat. I installed Webster's GFO figuring that would solve it but no go. Still no screw sound. Also I looked around the download section But didn't see anything. Using the hydrophones is a relatively new thing for me so maybe early in the game this is normal? Thanks for any feedback it would be greatly appreciated.

I think I recall correctly, there are some ships in the game that don't have engine sounds.

what ship was it, and are you sure it wasnt a docked ship? I ask this because some docked ships have running engines (engine noise) and some dont

As Webster says, it could be a particular ship.

Also, sometimes ships moving slowly might not generate sound that you hear, though your crew could. You need to try a number of target ships to determine if it is a real problem or not.

The ships with no screw sounds were 4 destroyers, 1 large ocean liner, and even my own boat zero screw sound. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling with reboots in between. 1st I loaded the game with no mods then. No sound. Then I tried with Webster's GFO still no sound. I get the green contact light though. Thanks for your replys

Well, I don't know what the problem is.

I presume you are listening after being submerged. The S-class hydrophones are mounted on the deck, so you must submerge to use them.

I would try a different class of sub, and see if any of them work.

Well I was really hoping it would be an early campaign thing. The only thing different in my installation is I got a great deal on Win 8 pro. I didn't give it a second thought since I have win 8 on a laptop and it runs sh4 fine. Guess I will first try rolling some drivers back then if that doesn't work back to 7. Thanks guys for your help.
