Thanks but that wasn’t it. I figured out what it was, for some reason my speakers were set to 6 channel output even though they are only 2.1. Not sure what was happening but channels 5 and 6 were filled with static and MSFS was the only programming I’ve been using lately that utilizes surround sound if available. That’s why I was only hearing the static in the sim.
I turned it back to 2 channel and it works again.
