I run it as admin on win 8.1 with Win 7 compatibility. I have since found a fix. I was running it in compatibility mode, because GTA 4 will not run on my 8.1. I read running it in Vista mode worked, and it did. But I happened to up it to Win 7 compat. mode and it has solved the sound issue with the police radio. No more alt-tab and crashing multiple times to get it to work.

I have discovered this only happens after activating LCPDFR (alt-p). I can spawn a police unit or get in one off duty, and the ambient and random police chatter continues as normal, but as soon as I press alt-p before going into the station to dress out, it stops. I have also discovered when on duty and i summon a tow truck or a medical investigator via the Police Helper PDA, those units are dispatched over the radio like normal, but only that is what i hear on the radio, regular dispatches and chatter then still is mute. And I have also discovered alt-tab trick in windowed mode does not fix the issue at all. I had been playing in window mode because it is slightly more stable and crashes less, but can;t get my police chatter and dispatch sounds to work. I never had this issue before until I had to get a new hard drive and decided finally to reinstall gta4 so I could play LCPDFR again...it is getting extremely frustrating to say the least. :(

I have been working getting this to work properly all day. Constant reading suggestions and "fixes", uninstall and re-installs etc. At this point i have just gta4 with lcpdfr installed. No other mods. I do not get police radio audio unless I pause the game and alt tab in and out. I test this by calling medics and etc, so it is not just related to dispatches. There is complete radio silence until I alt tab. Then it only lasts for a few minutes of getting audio dispatches and radio chatter. When it isnt working I can still see dispatches in text, and when i call for a medic all that happens is my character speaks, no radio sounds and no dispatch replies audibly. All of this is while on duty of course. Any ideas and how I can get this to work properly without having to pause and alt-tab every 60 seconds or so?

Yup got it thanks.

Yes I have ELS installed. BUt I only installed one vehicle it was a chevy tahoe, the AI was still using the little white Lumina looking cars with the Vector lightbar.

I installed a vehicle mod. for a new car for me to drive. Got it working perfect, but all my npc officers drive the default cars, which was fine except their lightbars disappear on the car. You can see the flashing lights reflecting off objects but no lights, (their wig wags and sirens work great also),or they would occasionally appear as they flashed especially farther away. I tried different enb's thinking that may be the issue. Is there somehting I am missing in the .ini settings that may be causing this? Getting tired of wiping the drive and installing my mods from scratch with no solution found on my own. Thanks in advance for any replies.
