Re: P3D PE ATIS sound fading (tried fixes)

One more big "Thank You!" I've been running the same P3Dv4 installation on Win 10 for a couple of years without ever encountering this problem, then suddenly it appeared big time. Not just ATIS, but all comms: sometimes it would be triggered by a frequency switch, other times just out of t...
