Catagory: I'd describe it as an error; it's obviously not intended but did not cause a crash in the system.

Reproducibility: Unsure on reproducibility for this bug. Potentially, it would occur on fallen fighters during the fountain part of territory game type. I have no cues for when this error began or why it started.


Summary: This bug caused the audio for player movement, voices, bullet & rifle sounds to all mute. At first the audio stuttered in and out and eventually cut out entirely. Another player on the server I was on mentioned it and it turned out at least 4 players on the server, out of 8 total, were experiencing the audio cut out. Could this be a server issue?

Description: See: summary. My computer specifications:
AMD AM3 X4 955 CPU @ 3.2Ghz
ATI HD 5770 HIS Graphical adapter
4 GB DDR3 ram

Online/Offline: As I stated, this bug occurred for a large portion of the players on this server at the same time. I have not been able to play the single player campaign and would figure this to be an online only bug.

I made a video highlight from my stream which can be viewed here: [url]http://twitch.tv/snowyoak/b/293908340[/URL]

The same thing happened to me but I know when it cut out, it was at the welcome screen after the new map loaded. Exiting the sever got my menu sounds back, but I had to restart the game to get all sounds back.

Something similar happened to me too.

The map changed from FF_Apartments to FF_Apartments and when the game started up after loading all sound cut off. I asked other players on the server if they experienced this and no one else said they did. There was no stuttering before cutting.
