August 9, 201411 yr Doh!!!...and I have been grinding my teeth over this one for the last 24 hours!Ever the 'Tweak-Freak' (go on...hold your hands up the lot of you - I KNOW that I am NOT alone!), I had been 'fiddling around' (as you do) and, to my total dismay and disbelief yesterday evening, I suddenly discovered that my PMDG First Officer was either asleep, had 'done a runner' (who could blame him ) or had been stricken down with a severe bout of Laryngitis! Ergo; No amount of verbal coaxing would get him to reply to anything beyond the usual courtesies of 'setting up'.In that state of laconic desperation that descends upon all of us FSX'ers I tried to recall every fps-enhancing 'adjustment' that I had made on the previous evening... a task made immeasurably harder by the self-induced alcoholic amnesia... and I went through all of the well-known remedies - short of a full Windows ReInstallation!In desperation (and on hold to the Samaritans), I restarted FSX for the umpteenth time, poured myself a consolatory glass of chilled, selected the Maul as the default aircraft and resigned myself to listening to the wonderful burble of the engine as it ticked over - a truly wondrous sound coming through the 250Watt Hartke 1x15 Bass Cabinet that sits adjacent to my Flight Deck....Somewhere between the third and fourth 'slurp' [acknowledgements to the late Keith Floyd], it suddenly dawned on me that a stereo output into a single channel input is going to lose something along the way? I looked at my lappy audio-out socket. Yup. A Stereo Out. I then looked at the Hartke Amplifier Input Socket. Yup. Mono. Result? I unplugged MY idea of 'Audio Nirvana', reverted to my crappy BenQ speakers and - lo and behold- my erstwhile AWOL First Officer has returned to active duty. (Boy! - is HE going to get some rough rides for the forseeable)!!!The Lesson for Today?If you are having trouble with your F/O ... just be aware that the audio output on FS2C is a STEREO feed and does NOT like being chanelled through a Mono setup!OK! 'nuff said. Take me out the back and shoot me now.Dave Corbett. Stupidly expensive rig, nonplussed Memsahib, disinterested offspring and a fascinated cat as Rio. XP11, P3Dv3 and an Oculus Rift.
