Soundguy/New map contacts/Problem

[Kark]

I had a similar problem after installing the Dynamic Enviromment Sound MOD.
Not only my radio guy was silent, also my navigator, when asked to determine depth under kiel, happily turned to his map, gently caressed it and said...nothing.
My LI did not report the current depth and my radio man did not say a word ouside the dialog box.

I resolved this issue by installing everything related to sound first and THEN applied the MFCM and MCCD MODs, which i find absolutely essential.

Then...loading....waiting...DANG! "contact. freighter. far away."

I've never been sp happy to hear little Bennos voice

Hmm... I might try that too, just in case.

Another thing I just noticed was that, while on patrol, Benno picked up a warship on the hydrophone and I, being the curious sort, took over the station to hear for myself. Not that I doubt him, I just wanted to hear it.

But there was nothing. Even when turning the hydrophone to the EXACT bearing of the blue contact line, there was nothing. The blue contact line would fade and I'd hand it back to Benno and it would reappear.

Now, since this was about my 37th reinstall, on a new computer having copied all of the MODS from the old hard drive, I thought I'd messed up TDW's excellent sh5.exe patch, so I went and re-patched it, but it didn't help. Finally, exasperated, I used the external camera which I keep on for screenshot purposes and found that the "silent" target was actually a German TypeVII uboat. I don't know why it can't be picked up on the hydrophone and I really don't care as I'm not likely to be hunting my own guys, just thought it would be of interest.

Yes, I've always jumbled those particular mods up to find the best order for them. Like you, I've placed most all of the sound mods right after the Environmental mods, then MFCM ect. It works. I had a real bad game crash right after I posted this and had to reload everything, including starting a new campaign. However, Bennos voice is still there (after I used some promo points on him). Now the game just looks and acts killer (as good as it gets tight now, I'm interested in the ideas that TDW has for the crew animations). Everyday I can't wait to get home and boot it up.
