Hey everyone, been out of the loop for quite a spell but I'm finally able to get back into some sim-time.

Has anyone else experienced an audio problem with Xsqauwkbox on linux (Ubuntu)?  When I enable XSB, it disables ALL other game sounds.  There is not a whole lot out there on this issue, was just wondering if anyone else had been through this?  God bless everyone.

Hi,

It is a known problem with Linux/X-Plane/XSB. For this very reason I am flying (well, flown few times) IVAO. I managed to automate it properly. Give me a shout if you need any help.

Kind regards,
Kamil

Thanks Kamil.  I've not used IVAO, only VATSIM.  Does the network have a lot of people on it?

IVAO has better European (and a few other locations) coverage than VATSIM, most other locations, VATSIM has the edge.

Depends where you fly.

There is a very nice update regarding issue raised here.

Darkeye was recently working on porting audio support in Linux version of XSB plugin and managed to successfully accomplish this task. Changes are being now merged into main XSB plugin. If you do not want to test for official build you can contact Darkeye and ask him to provide you with him (time limited) build for testing purposes.

This resolves existing for very long time problem with Linux and Vatsim.

Kind regards,
Kamil
