Group: Forum Members Posts: 48, Visits: 936	Running Skydemon version 3.16.9 on a Samsung SM-T713, Lineage Operating System, Android 10, PilotAware Rosetta On Wednesday evening whilst flying I did not have any audio traffic alerts though the relevant aircraft were visible both on Skydemon and the radar screen on the tablet and also on a separate phone used purely as a PAW radar screen. Two of the other aircraft were close enough to be red on PAW and well within the parameters I've set for alerts. I use a cable from the tablet to the headset control box and have had the same set up for 2 years without any performance issue. None of the settings have been changed on the tablet or the Rosetta, all the connections are good and I'm getting all the usual Skydemon terrain, airspace alerts etc. The headset batteries are good and the ANR is working as it should. So I'm a bit flummoxed as I cannot see any reason for the loss of audio. Grateful for any help! Sean Kx Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite Android 13 Skydemon latest version always

Also, the fact the traffic was red on another device does not mean the traffic was actually a cause for concern inside SkyDemon; our imminent-proximity detection algorithms are based on more on simply how close other traffic is to your position. Have you tried simulating another piece of traffic in the SkyDemon simulator? You can easily test our traffic alerts there. Once in simulation mode, press anywhere on the map and from the What's Here screen you can spawn another simulated aircraft. Then you can drag it around (or drag your own aircraft around) to set them up on a collision course.
