Radio chatter gone
-
After reinstalling and playing Freelancer for a while with no issues, I noticed after a while that for some reason, all radio chatter had ceased. Enemies, docking rings, stations, cargo scans. I still get cutscenes all right, and alerts like “Incoming missile”, but I miss my chatter and want it back!
At first I thought I had toggled something off in a menu somewhere, but I couldn’t find anything. I’ve turned 3d sound on an off, played with the sound level, nothing. I don’t see how it can be my drivers, because radio chatter worked fine at first. Help?

Do you play vanila Freelancer or you use any mod?
It’s just a suggestion but 3D sound should be off otherwise you might get CTD. -
ive heard that before too, but i can honstly say ive never crashed to the desktop with 3d sound being on.

Strange. I’ve not experienced it but could it be your Fraunhoffer encoder out of order?
I’m using XP, so check in your Control Panel’s equivalent for this:- Sound and Audio Devices - Hardware - Audio Codecs and look for the Fraunhoffer MPEG Layer 3 Codec to be present, click on it, click Properties, ensure it is “used” and you can change the priority (move it up in the list).
Also open your Audio Mixer (double-click on your speaker icon in the system tray) and ensure all appropriate devices are enabled.
