Train Simulator Sound has completely disapperaed

[abirm873]

Hi Guys
I am currently playing the Cambrian 2 Dukedog over Talerddig pack.
However when i loaded this i realised that all the sounds have completely disappeared. I exited, then loaded another from the same pack and low and behold no sound. Then i tried another route- The Far North Line and there was no sound on that route either. My speakers are turned up and not muted as i get the sound for the microsoft advert when the sim loads up. I am running the bin patch and have the latest t-section etc. My sound card is a built in one for my 10 year old pc.
Can you please help guys,
Cheers Ashley

It might be worth double checking that the sound settings in Setup haven't been altered by the installation. Unlikely.....but you never know!

Sorry Doug, i dont quite understand what you mean

It always pays to go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Volume Control and check that none of the inputs are muted.
Some programs such as Media Player alter these setiings without telling you.

Hi Ashley,
I notice that your machine is 10 years old. When I ordered Cambrian 2 my old machine was 6 years old and I actually enquired at 3DTrainstuff as to whether the route would run.
They told me that it would but that I may have problems at Shrewsbury Station. Can I suggest that you check whether the sound works on the Cambrian 1 after a fresh reboot/startup of your machine. I know from experience that after a long session running various programs on a PC that the available memory decreases. This would be more serious the older the PC, although I have noticed it on my (relatively new) PC.



Cheers

Hi People
Thanks for all youre help, but ive cured the problem by doing a reinstall, i needed to reinstall because my trainsim folder was touching 5GB and i only had 7 routes installed(5GB is quite a lot on my computer.)
Martin, i can usually run Cambrian 2 and get decent frame rates of about 10fps in the countryside, and occasional stuttering in built up areas with quite a few static consists.

Hi ashley,

Are you using Train Store, if not I recommend you do.

By using the 'Easy' tab it will load one Route and one Activity and store the rest when running MSTS, thus freeing up more resources on your P/C.
