Hi everybody.
Well, I am back to the stage where I am offered the option of purchasing a Downloader to look for Sound Updates.

Cannot seem to locate a NVidia Sound Driver.

Many thanks

Paul.

Paul, this is the Nvidia download page. Just pop your specific info and away you go.

Hi Paul,
In post #40, I gave you the link to the NVIDIA page for the GTX 1660 drivers!

Cheers,

Hello Ged, thanks for your reply.

Have looked at your link but no mention or link to Sound Drivers, OK if I know what I'm looking for.

Did Find the Following which I am about to try out. "591.86-desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql".

But not holding my breath. fingers crossed!

Thanks

Paul.

Paul you need the Video Driver, you are using your video for sound with the HDMI connection.

Also do yourself a big favor, don't keep downloading things you don't know what they are or are for:

You are apt to dig yourself into an even bigger hole. Just by name that doesn't seem to have a thing to do with sound.

Paul,
2-3 hours ago you were downloading/installing a new Nvidia driver to FIX the
Error: Orts.Viewer3D.Processes.ThreadHangException: Thread 'Sound Process' has hung; problem.

What was the result of doing that?

[slipperman]

Hi Paul,
You can have as many soundsets installed as you like, BUT they are only USED when a route or stock item calls for them!
The tracks, themselves, don't call for ANY sounds.
You only NEED UKFS_v3.1.6_full if a route's readme tells you that it's required, BUT, it doesn't use any sounds!! On the other hand, you can always have it installed (its files are saved in the GLOBAL/SHAPES folder).

Cheers,
Ged

Paul,
Are you going to answer this?

[pcohen]

Hi Charles, apologies for the delay. My Wife Is currently using my main Computer.

Have only just switched on my Laptop.

Unfortunately you will have to wait till the Morning for an answer to your question.

Thanks

Paul.

at is the latest download (v591.86) for the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Graphics Card!

Thanks for the clarification. Not knowing I would not have thought it was as sound driver.

Hi Paul
Just to clear up any confusion. You are looking for video card driver, not sound card driver. The Nvidia Graphics card has a small sound handling section on it which is controlled by the video card drivers.

My desktop PC has speakers wired to it. If my monitor had speakers, I could use VA2247-FHD instead of the Realtek,

Paul is using a TV for a monitor therefore his PC is setup to use the Nvidia graphics card and its HDMI cable for audio.
