This occured in two ingame sessions. I could not regain sound and I had to restart the game to get the sound working again. In both cases the sound would not return until I restarted the game.
Loss of sound ingame
- Thread starter Noreaster71
- Start date
Same. Happened to me twice. Once yesterday, once today. It would happen at the beginning of a round. Changing servers, exiting to menu, or changing audio quality/settings does not fix it.

I had the same problem. Nearly. At the beginning of a round just as the counter disappeared I herd a brief crackle and then my sound was gone. The game continued to play as usual.
Through asking people to type I was even able to confirm that my mic was still working, or RO2s current approximation of a mic working. I tried going into the menus. Changing my sound quality in the options from high to low and even alt tabbing to see if I could get the sound to resume. None of that worked.
However as soon as I clicked disconnect in the options there was another crackle and sound resumed. That is the best detail I can remember to describe my bug.

I have had this issue randomly and it was... better later in the beta than earlier.
Also note I had an issue where only certain sound channels were working - my gunfire and the little music dittys when you kill someone, get promoted, win, etc.

I think this is a fairly common problem as i have had it a few times and a few of my clanmates have had it happen to them too.
Out of curiousty what sound cards do you lot use?
I have an onboard Realtek HD Audio card. I wonder if its a driver issue?
I'm assuming it happens after a round/map change too?

Happened to me also just moments ago, just after a map change. I also have an onboard Realtek HD sound card. This never happened on my system during the beta.

Hmm interesting - first loss of sound while waiting to enter a new map. First time this has happened and I've been playing the beta as well. SB Audigy 2 card, win 7 64.

Well, I have moved from the Realtek sound card, to a Creative SB X-Fi XtremeMusic with the latest drivers. I just had this happen again moments ago on the german team, on map change to Grain Elevator.
Edit: After large patch 9/19, loss of sound again on map change.

I have had this issue happen to me several times.... After map change the sound goes out and I must restart the game to fix. It has happened several times I believe on both my headset and my speakers. My main soundcard is the built in driver that comes with the EDimensional AudioFX Pro 5+1 USB headset. My normal speakers are plugged into my onboard audio which is Realtek HD Audio as others have. I rarely use the speakers though.

My thread about this didnt show up, so i post my experince here.
This happen to me twice, only when new map loads and i pop upp steams chat window (shift + tab). Its like when you alt + tab but.. instead of everything goind down, only the sound does. So when map loads and someone types to me on steam and i pop up the chat window ingame, the sound goes away. THis dont happen when i take up the steam chat window when im already in the server or the map is already loaded.
So it may have something to do with map loading as i have read here and on the other thread about people losing the sound there.
I hope this can help the devs to locate the problem a little better

I have this too (so far 2 times). Just wanted to add, that on every map change, my speakers make a crackling sound (same when i turn them on for the first time).
I hope the speakers themselves dont get damaged by this, since i never encountered this before
(Speakers are Teufel 5.1 set and ~3 yrs old)

happened to me yesterday for first time since F&F beta. "pop" on map change and sound is gone.
this is system wide, not just the game.
"pop" when exititing game and sound is back for the system.
