Is It me thats wrong?

Hi Paul,
Sorry, Paul, that was a big error on my part - I don't think you need new graphics card drivers as it's seems to be something in your PC's sound system which is causing your problem!!

Cheers,

Hi Ged, Just a thought.

I have never used a Monitor with this Computer (don't even have One).

I use a Panasonic 32" TV about Ten Years old Ish (no longer required as a TV), as My Monitor!
Great Full Screen graphics with MSTS and great Pictures.

But, Would this be my Sound Problem lies please?

Many thanks

Paul.

Paul - per say no, I'm using a 27" TV as my monitor. Only question are you using the TV speakers, or a speaker set connected directly to the computer (as I'm using).
Also what type of connection for the Video to the TV are you using? ( eg: HDMI, VGA.. etc. )

[pcohen]

Hello again Geary, thanks again for your reply, I am really keeping you busy.

No External Speakers, TV Is connected with an HDMI Connection.

Hope this Is OK?

Thanks again.

Paul.

Yes, just trying to figure out what you are using, I'm on a TV with VGA connection and external speakers directly connected to the computer. I don't think using the TV for sound should be problem, it sounds like it's a hardware/driver issue with your sound on the computer that has an issue with OpenRails. Need someone more technical on this to say for sure.

Alway willing to help if I can. Granted sometimes it may not be to useful or the correct answer.

Hello again Geary, thanks for that.

Still not having a lot of fun with "Thames Trent Version 3", Latest attempt Crashed approx 9 Miles from Luton outbound to Sheffield.

Hi Paul,
Same reason for the crash!!
You say you are using an HDMI connection from your PC to your monitor/TV. This means that you are using the NVIDIA 1660 as your sound card which means I wasn't so far out, after all!! I wonder if that is the cause of your problem, which seems to occur, whatever route you are running.

Since you last had this problem, have you done anything about attempting to solve it?

If not, it's almost certain that your PC includes a 'sound card' so I suggest you get a couple of external speakers and plug them into your PC. You will need to 'tell' your PC to use the integrated sound system from the Control Panel's Sound settings.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged.

Well, looks as if I am going to have to purchase some new Speakers, although I don't understand why.

I have been Using my Panasonic TV wit It's speakers for some Years now and this would appear to be a recent problem.

thanks

Paul.

why not just see if there is an updated driver for the nVida before spending $s?

[pcohen]

Good morning Charles, thanks for your reply.

Will certainly Try and Find something.

Thanks

Paul.

That's good advice. I had heaps of problems with automatic updates on my Win 10 machine and looking into that there's any number of reasons that can cause issues for people. Updating the drivers would be step 1 for me.

[pcohen]

Good morning everybody again.

Checking Device Manager for Updates tells me my Version of Windows 10 is no longer supported.

I have, but most certainly cannot get on with Windows 11, but Is this my only option please?

Many thanks

Paul.

Running win 10 will be fine, I will be running it for years to come.

[ossie]

You're good with 10 Paul. No longer supported just means M$ aren't issuing you any more updates/upgrades. As long as your security is all up to date, as Derek says you're good to go. I still use a Win 8.1 machine for various things and it's also working fine despite them abandoning it a couple of years back.

Go to the Nvidia website for graphics card updates. That is the only place to get drivers from.
