REALFLIGHT SOUND PROBLEM

RE: REALFLIGHT SOUND PROBLEM
Likely to be caused by your drivers.
All realflight does is hand off the audio output to the DX drivers to handle.
If you are using on-board audio as opposed to a dedicated audio card like a Sound Blaster... it is possible that your computer may be busying out too much due to latency elsewhere.
Sometimes using non-oem drivers will GREATLY reduce audio latency on built in sound chips eliminating such issues.

Yup all the more reason to suspect a driver issue.
The "Restore" returns the system files and registry entries as they were at an earlier time.
It really doesn't touch the data files Realflight creates in the user folders.
I suspect that you may be helped out by lower latency drivers.
Are you using an integrated sound device? ( I'll bet yes... ).

intergrated sound device??? not sure what that is and not sure what the puter has in it for a sound device, just loaded realflight and flew until the problem started

Is it a laptop or a desktop machine?
If it is a Desktop machine, is the sound cord to your speakers plugged into a hole in the metal backplate that also has receptacles for LAN, and other devices, or is the speaker cord plugged into a hole in a metal ( card edge ) area that ONLY has similiar holes next to it?

Laptops almost ALL have "Integrated Audio Cards" or Chipsets.
These are sort of the lowest common denominator of available sound option... however there are exceptions.
"Gaming" laptops often feature higher end components that used to be almost exclusively reserved for better Desktop computers.
That said, switching to non-OEM drivers will probably reduce the driver latency and improve the simulator's performance.
In some cases you can actually pick up effects processing, and other features you may have not had on the laptop before.
The key is to find a newer set of drivers that are compatible with your hardware, from other sources.

All flight sim sounds are two dimensional anyway....
Your not missing much...

RF features support for multiple channel audio output.
Doppler effects and echos "bounce" off of buildings and structures for better immersion.
