Sound Problems ATP

Is there anybody who can help me with the problem of having
no spoken ATC in the program ATP. I am using an MOZART soundcard.
All (game-)programs that I've played recognized this soundcard
as being a SOUNDBLASTER. ATP is perhaps somewhat more critical
but I DO get enginesounds and the beacon ident code beeps.
Please send me information, tips hints etc.

Peter,

If you're getting engine sounds then it's probably not an address/IRQ/DMA
problem. Make sure you have the BLASTER environment variable set in your
DOS environment, e.g.

C:> SET BLASTER=A220 D1 I5 T3

where in this example 1 is the DMA, 5 is the interrupt (IRQ), 220 is the I/O
address, and 3 is the "type" of Soundblaster you have. For my
ProAudioSpectrum 16 sound card, I use T3. You may have to experiment
with values from 1 to (4?) to get yours to work. And it should work!
If that doesn't help you, send me E-mail and we'll try to get it working for
you.

Hello Chris;

A few of the (many) possible causes are as follows . . . No expanded
memory driver, such as EMM386 + you must allocate at least 512K of
*EXPANDED* memory for ATP'S voice system to function properly.

Not enough expanded memory . . . the above 512K must be free for the
exclusive use by ATP.

Check to see that the voices/sounds are turned on, by pressing ALT + E.

Hpoe that this helps . . .

Let me know how it works out . . .

All The Best

I suppose you have got enough EMS memory available? I think the minimum
for voices is 640K.

I have a pesky video problem that crops up every now and then that
really bugs me. In the middle of a flight I might hit some key or
combiniation of keys (nothing specific) and the outside view goes
completely grey and does not return no matter what. Everything else
seems to work fine. I can even fly to the destination and land
(totally IFR of course). It is almost as irritating after a long
flight as it used to be when the keyboard would lock up (before I knew
about the CTR/BRK to restore). Any ideas anybody on a way to bring it
back or at least stop it from doing it in the first place?

I am running ATP with 3DAGS and a VESA driver on my 486/33. I have
plenty of memory and have been flying ATP for about 4 + years and never
had this problem prior to 3DAGS.

Silly question. Are you sure you have not just turned the main 3D window
off? I used to do this on purpose sometimes for a quick IFR practice
with no view out of the windows!

From the manual: Use the following keystroke combinations to toggle each
window on or off:

first 3D window on/off [Shift][backspace]
second 3D window on/off [Shift][Num Lock]
map view on/off [Shift][Scroll Lock]

Peter,

I can't vouch for whether this will work for your hardware, but several years
ago, when I originally purchased ATP (Rev. D) I had problems with the
spoken ATC on my genuine soundblaster card.

You need the following string in your startup batch file:
SETBLASTER=A220 D1 I1 T1 (you may need to check out the spacing on this)

A is the address of the soundcard (eg. 220H)
D is the DMA (eg. 1)
I is the interrupt (eg. 1)
T is the version of soundblaster card you have (eg. 1,2,3 etc.)

Try it anyway.

Linda
