Hi, latest fgfs rejects loading stereo sound files. I guess it's because stereo sounds don't really work with a 3D sound engine. Stereo files still somehow worked with older fgfs versions, at least they produced something audible, so few authors had noticed the issue so far, and hence we now

I'd suggest converting the sound files the s76c is fixed here , just not commited yet due to some other half finished changes. Most files seem to just get copied from aircraft to aircraft , so the problem will probably continue to grow.
