So I was getting bored with just looking round the VC and outside views on a flight from Heathrow to JFK, and decided to open up itunes to put on some Wagner (nothing like landing a 747 to Die Valkure) but as soon as I switch back to FSX, it fades to barely audible. Now I appreciate that I need to hear things, so I asumed that's why they provided volume sliders for everything. I turn up the music to max (scaring the cat), switch back to the game, and the same thing happens.... The only way I can get the music back is to turn the game sound completely off... which, is obviously useless.

I couldn't see an option in the sound settings to disable this "feature", so can I remove the option in FSX.cfg?

Press "Q" a few times (the sound mute for FSX if you have it in default for that feature)and it should go back to normal.

have you checked to make sure that you have the latest sound card drivers?

the latest iTUNES program?


I can run WeeTune Beasty (Sky Blue Radio - www.skyblueradio.com), Youtube, AND Windows Media Player all at the same time listening to CRAP as it comes out of my headphones, and still barely hear the sounds of the engines in FSX. 


I do not have iTUNES so i can not help you there.  Do you have FSX sp1 & 2? Are you trying to use a USB Headset and separate the sounds from FSX going to the computer speakers, and music to your headphones? What Sound card do you have installed in the computer????????
