Problems when starting the Software and changing the view

[Swiss]

Hello

When I start FSPassengers and the Passengers are boarding, more than sometimes I can hear in my headset a loud metallic noise.

This loud metallic noise can happen, when I change the view from the cockpit to outside.

After 5 - 10 minutes the noise disappears again.

My English is not so good, but I hope, that it is understandable, what I mean and that someone can help me.

Regards

Hello Dutch64

This noise ist not from an Instrument. If at the TV you see black-white points, you will probably hear a noise. Approximately this is the
noise, that I hear in my headset.

My Soundcard is the "Creative SB Live! 5.1 Sound Card PCI". I dont have understand you, what I have to do with the Soundcard.

Alexander,
It is most likely the problem of the drivers to your sound card. I had similar effect with SB Live! in other programs some time ago.
You have to find and install new version of drivers from Creative.
Please tell what driver version you are using .

Good idea for testing, but flying with this setting you may have corrupted some sounds in FS, most likely ATC voice. Aspecially if CPU is
not the fastest one

Hello John

Since I use the Windows XP Home, the drivers from the Soundcard have changed and now are drivers from Microsoft installed. Version
5.1.2535.0.

As I used Windows 98 SE I could install the original drivers from the Soundcard. I have tried to install original drivers, but Windows XP
becomes very instable. That means: ex. the starting procedure of the PC need more time etc.

This is the configuration of my PC:

CPU: Intel Pentium 4A, 2000 MHz
Motherboard: Intel Winnipeg D845WN
Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400
Soundcard: Creative SB Live! 5.1 Sound Card and Intel 82801BA(M) ICH2 - AC'97 Audio Controller [B-5]

Well... The old Creative drivers problem here...
Microsoft drivers are bad. Forget about them. They maybe stable by means of OS handling, but they will offer you a lot of sound problems.
Drivers from Creative are not perfect as well. Some versions were not quite stable.
That's why you have to find some other versions and check them as well.
As far as I can recall, 3512 was quite good... But I'm not sure now.
Anyway, try to go for the more recent versions (2535 is a quite old one, I believe).
And don't be afraid to experiment.
Good luck!
