Go to the Sound Settings in Options (click on the radio on the left side shelf in the office if you've already started a career) and move the slider for Sound Volume, which is at the top of the right side, to the left some. This will lower the background noise volume so you can hear the radio better. Also make sure the radio volume is all the way to the right.

If you still have trouble, you may need to turn your computer volume up before starting the game. I used to have to do that too.

Can I just say (and please pass this on to the author of this great mod) that its totally amazing. Easy to download and use. You dont have to muck around with file editing just JSGME.

Let me describe... Im on a S42 boat heading North from Fremantle and worried about the patrol ahead as are the men. Theres a raging storm above me. Im riding it out at 100ft at just 3kts. All you can hear is the light hum of the electric engine and this amazing radio station mod (once youve turned the radio on and wondered why its working at 100ft lol).

I cannot say how cool this is. You can almost smell the grease, oil and sweat.

What a great GREAT mod. (and game)

I almost dont want to go Jap hunting.
I am with you 100% on this as I have one of the two loaded at any time. Yeah, the radio shouldn't work under water.
I've become a big fan of "The Great Gildersleeve" and some of the music is pretty weird to, but it grows on you; "Johnny got a zero" "Praise the lord and pass the ammunition' is pretty strange with that girl singer and the hallaluyah's.
Anyway, I can't ride without Fred's stuff playing . Load up his Gramophone music too. He's got everything from Glenn Miller to a great version of "April in Paris" by Louis Armstrong. The download is Gramphone 1 and 2. I think you can get it from either this site or the SH4 site. Or just ask Fred where it is.
Good Hunting ...and Listening.

You are the straight man in the act. I don't think the radio works underwater either. Maybe its time to listen once more......?

I don't remember how far down it goes, but the S-boats do have a bug that lets you hear the radio a good ways underwater.
