New PC - can't get any sounds from GSX

The airplane used shouldn't make any difference about this.
--- Quote ---I use SimStarterNG to copy Coualtaddons.ini depending on whether Concorde is used or not. Can't see that being a problem but I'll investigate.

This might be a problem, you just can't swap the .INI file like that, because that stores your sound preferences as well and, if one of your Couatladdons.INI was made for a previous version before we updated the sound to use multiple devices, so it used an older version of the sound engine, it won't work.
Our installer automatically clears up entries made for the old version but, if you swap the .INI file like that, you can introduce the problem.

Here are the settings FSL recommend. Note GSX sounds are set to minimum. The only mandatory setting is "Good engine start confirmation". For ease of use I might abandon the file copy and just set that option manually for Concorde flights.

Those are not relevant.
The settings I'm referring to are the ones in the [common] section of the file, which has been pointed to you by Andreasmb to keep changing, because you are juggling the .INI file externally. Just don't do that anymore or, if you really must, once you have settled on a sound configuration that works for you, be sure you copy all lines the [common] section from the current Couatladdon.ini file to the "backup" copies you use to juggle configs.
Ray Proudfoot:
I’m sticking to the one ini and will just enable the “Good engine start” option for non-Concorde flights. Keep it simple. ;D

It worked with my headset. Thanks Ray. ;)
