Sorry to keep harping on about sound guys, but I thought I'd share this with everybody, as it stopped me from enjoying this fine piece of software for a long time.
Anyone who is having continuing sound problems, after following all other advice, maybe this is for you. I had no jets, no gear noise, no ATC or pilots voices etc.
I found the problem to be due to unloaded audio codecs, which although were present on my PC were not recognised as such. They were the IMA ADPCM and Microsoft ADPCM codecs. Here goes (instructions for XP Home, should work on other OS)
1. Go to Control Panel > Add Hardware > Next
2. Click "Yes, I have already connected the hardware" > Next
3. Scroll right to the bottom of list, choose "Add a new hardware device"
4. Click "Install hardware manually" > Next
5. Scroll down and choose Sound, video and game controllers > Next
6. Click "Have disk..."
7. Browse to c:\windows\system32 and click on "mmdriver" then choose OK.
8. Then choose the "Microsoft ADPCM audio CODEC"
It should install and inform you that it needs to restart computer. Click finish, but don't resart computer just yet.
Now follow steps 1 to 7 again, and this time choose the"IMA ADPCM audio CODEC"
This one needs to be loaded from your Windows XP CD.
When done, restart the computer, and fire up FS2004, and hopefully, jets will ROAR out of your speakers, and warning sirens will wail etc.etc.
Now I've sorted that out, can anybody tell me where I can d/l an English pilot's voice???
Many thanks for your time!

P.S. I remember seeing a picture in the gallery of a jet taking off from a runway in a huge crater! Does anyone have the airport code for this?? Ta.
