Engine Sound Keeps Vanishing

Harald_Lange · 02-23-13, 05:44 AM

Thanks for the replies Kaleuns, yes it may be windows 7 issue, wonder if anyone has suffered this on XP? I'll experiment with the compatibility mode and try running the game as admin.

Also, yes, its purely the engine sound, the game runs fine otherwise.

I may be imagining things too, but I have a feeling its got worse since I switched from a type VII to a IXC, and have been doing trans-atlantic runs at high TC. Having said that, sometimes it just happens whilst playing in real time too.

I've had this problem too, also with constant '260m level' hull creaking even on the surface. This was the thread on it, sounds like the issues may be linked.

It normally happens when I'm on the bridge and speed up to 32x TC the engine noise stops, then when I drop down to 1x TC it stays silent. If I change engine speed it starts up again though, don't normally have to do a restart.

But no idea how to fix I'm afraid, sorry

Yes, on a fairly regular basis. As Pisces just said, it's almost certainly a problem withing the game itself. I just learned to ignore it.

I haven't experienced those effects in the time I have used this: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...do=file&id=978

Very reliable.

@Rconch thanks, so far so good! Great mod, although I might try to remove some of the sounds, to default to the original ones. I'm not too keen on the cheering when a torpedo hits, and a couple of others.

Awesome, time to sink some ships off the coast of Cuba!

Try pressing the escape button, minimize the game to desktop and then bring it back up again. That works for me.

I kind of like the cheering on a hit. I think a crew would respond to success. Its the no cheering after a hit that bothers me.

What sound mod are you using?
