Windows 7, 32-bit; FSUIPC 4.80; FSX with acceleration. Is anyone having this issue? When I first load my simulator, and load a flight plan and aircraft, all sounds function normally. when I minimize my simulator or tab away from it, the sounds die. I believe this is normal. However, upon returning to the simulator, the sounds do not return at all. Everything is gone...no aircraft sounds, etc, just complete silence. Is this normal, and how do I re-engage the sounds please?
