Newbie Question Re: Sounds in FS4

dpf4052 · February 12, 2023 at 4:43 PM

Just getting started. I have set up all my controls for the Cessna 172; and I can take off, fly and land with no issues. But I'm doing it all in complete silence. How do I initiate sounds? I'm flying in VR with my Oculus Quest2. Is there something that I must do to activate sounds through my headset?

I'm sure this is a dumb newbie question; but I'd appreciate some help.

Check that you have selected the correct Windows sound device first. If you can hear the sound of other programs through your headset but not Aerofly FS, try hitting the 'Q' button to toggle the sound on/off.

Is this with Windows sleep mode? Is it always absent with a fresh PC boot?

Does simulation throttle and sim view change and clicking and moving various external Windows audio program volume sliders eventually bring the sound back?

Thanks for the help. Just a dumb newbie mistake. I did not realize that I had to go to System>Sounds and activate my Quest2 headset speakers.
