hi folks !

today when I turn on the PC I noted a shield in the rigth side of the desktop, at side of the clock. it says "Windows security alert"

I try remove it, but couldn't because I are with a lot of restrictions with my PC after a desconfiguration from the technicians who remove some virus from me. but the worst part was yet to come. when I acess IL2, I noted that yes, I was without any sound !

I try play a music in the Windows Media Player and the same happen. it saied that the Windows was with some kind of problem. following my mother's recommendation, I restart the PC. the shield dissapier, as well as the sound problem with the Windows, but it remain in IL2.

please, any ideas ?

go to the gonfig folder in your IL2 directory and open it. You should find a line that says "Sound use = 1" if its 0 then change it to 1 and then save it.

It sometimes does this and i don't know why. See how you get on.

thanks for your reply !

I found "fb_sound01.SFS"

it goes to 1 until 5.

but the option : "Sound use = 1"

this I don't find.

I was thinking, could be my audio board ?

it's strange because it happen with the Windows first, not only with IL2.

but the Windows stay normal after I restart the PC, while IL2 not.

Try opening/edit conf.ini file with otepad or just run il2setup.exe

but, no results.

"[NoSound]
Name = No sound"

this is wat I think it's wrong.

I try put 1 on the engine sound too, but don't know if I make I mistake, because I don't remember the original numbers rigth now.

should I put 0 again ?

I fear that this could not be the problem and I desconfigurate other section.

please, if someone can give me the original numbers I would be glad.

Nope, you are going the wrong way here.

Looks to me like you've opened Il2Setup.ini, which is incorrect.

Open the file called conf.ini

In there, look for SoundUse=0, and if it's present, change to SoundUse=1
(Just like MaxMhz has suggested)

If you can't find it, post the entire contents of conf.ini here...

In a seperate reply, post the contents of il2setup.ini, the lines you've changed, and some 5 lines before those, and 5 lines after...
Maybe we can compare with our versions and see that we can fix yours...

first :

SoundUse=1
SoundEngine=0

second :

SoundUse=1
SoundEngine=0

third :

SoundUse=1
SoundEngine=0

I found at least 4, there are more. I just would like to know from the 3 first ones, the ones I mess.

guys, I just can wish a big hug for you all.

I don't have words about the attention I always receive on these forums. I don't know how to express my gratitude.

you if guys need a wingman, just call.

Well, yer very welcome

... but I'm missing one sentence from you: "I got it fixed" or maybe "I need some more help"....

I assume the first, but, just to be sure... please confirm...

yep, the problem was solved FT.

again, thanks everybody for the help.

ty

the problem came back again.

I go to the config section and the sound use was on 0. I put it on 1 and click to save it, but when I acess the game, there's still no sound. and when I came back to the section it's on 0 again.

I click on "save", and remember that when I do the first time it works. there's still the option "save as", wich I also try by don't work as well.

damm, wat hell happen with my IL2.

I restart the PC and the problem was again solved.

I wonder, wat could had cause this problem ?

I never had anything like it.
