    Sounds...

    Anyone able to help me? I've attached a clip here of what I'm experiencing inside the sim. I'm using the P32-8BWH eng/cab files from MLW's P32-8BWH sound set. The video is located at > http://sfbayatcs.dyndns.org/ORTS/Ope...2016_55_50.mp4

    Anyone??

    Regards,

    It seems to be all my SLI sounds that do the same thing with the horn! Any ideas?

      Check the performance section of the HUD (press shift-F5 a few times). I've had that happen when the sound process is just too full

          The Performance section has a bunch of bar graphs that move across the bottom of the screen, one of which is labeled Sound. If it keeps maxing out sounds like the horn will get very choppy. The bell will skip a lot, too, and throttle change sounds will be very ragged. I've had it forget crossing bells, as well, so it may be obvious even before you check the sound process

            The sound bar must be hidding out of sight on my screen...I'll see if I can adjust the resolution and see it. I see everything else and wow!

              Alright, I did a video with the sound bar showing...Maybe this will help?

              FWIW, I have ZERO exterior sounds, like crossing bells, etc., installed. It's just the trainset sounds for 1 cabcar, 1 horizon car and 5 Comet IV coaches and a SD40-2.

                Your sound system is pegged. Bad. What kind of sound card does your system have? Also, do you do a lot of other things on your computer before you start the sim? When I do that, the sound process is like that for 10 or 15 minutes, and then gets better

                  Last week it was his screen size giving troubles, this week its the sound card.

                  I guess some notebooks are not really gaming rigs.

                    I've been on a desktop nearly my whole MSTS life. This laptop has always been the "open rails" backup and I never ran MSTS in full screen on my desktop, so the screen size isn't an issue. I just can't see the bottom of ORTS because it's hidden behind the taskbar.

                    This sound card works flawlessly for everything else, just this ONE package of JUST THE horn that gives me issues. The bell, other sounds, etc., work fine!

                      It's a Realtek HD Audio card of some sort. It came default in this HP Notebook I bought in 2014. What's weird is this is the only SMS/WAV file set that has this issue. I went through most of the SLI stuff and it was only the stuff linked to a certain sound set that had issues.
