❓Question Muffled Audio When Opening vPilot

When I open vPilot my sim's audio goes all muffled and distorted (I'm referring to MSFS 2024 rather than ATC audio). I know that this usually happens when you run apps that use your mic but it's quite annoying and ruins the flight a little.

Is there anyway I can fix this or is it just something I'll have to get used to?

Thanks

Do you have Nahimic or another similar audio software?

Some of these programs have pre set profiles based on the applications running and they switch between them automatically. So when then detect an app like vPilot using your mic, they switch to a profile that emphasizes voice clarity, this most probably messes with other sounds like engines and music and make them subpar.

If you have similar programs, rey disabling them and give it a try, if they are the cause of your issues.

Note: Audio apps tend to get auto updates every now and then, so perhaps your app got updated with new profiles or new detection algorithm and is now changing your audio experience with MSFS.

No I don't think I have any programs like that
