Brief description of the issue:

SU12 brought the possibility to have keybinds related to headphone simulation. ON, OFF, and TOGGLE. Problem is it has no effect when you are in the plane. Tried with empty Community folder and 3 default planes, C152/172/208. Going to the Sound options menu and setting headphone simulation on/off still works.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

  1. Bind buttons of your choice for on/off/toggle headphone simulation, save it. Load up in an airplane and start the engine. Try the buttons you bound and you will hear no difference in sound.

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:

SU12 release

Would it have made sense to merge this in the other direction? This bug is in production now, and I’m wondering if this being in the beta forum would lead to it being overlooked going forward?

yes same issue

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

Default reinstall of MSFS2020 with nothing in the custom folder results in the same. The sound simulation does not toggle on or off, or if bound directly to on/off also does not work.
