[Tuning] bug - Sound goes mute

[scone2]

Many people have been having this problem (from what i have heard on ingame chat) yet i have not seen a thread about it, so i thought i'd create one just to notify you guys.

Catagory: other - sound

Reproducibility: sometimes (its random I believe)

Summary: Join a game, spawn, sound goes mute "pop" sound. (Happened on each beta map)

Description:On joining a game and spawning for the first time the speakers seem to make a pop sound then sound is no longer produced. I left the game and I went back to the menu and the sound booted up again. However, I decided to join a different server and the speakers popped again. I restarted the game and joined another server, sound was working fine. This bug has only occured 3 times in my time playing the beta (5 hours at most). This bug occured with the high audio quality setting.

Online/Offline: Online (beta)

cheers, scone2.

I've also been experiencing this bug, but it only seems to effect me when the server switches to a countdown map. joining a server already on a countdown map hasn't brought me this issue yet.

[edit] scratch that, just got it on territory Apartments.

Seems totally at random to me but clearly something must be triggering it.

I confirm this issue.

 

[MooseVenom]

So do I. Seems totally random. I've had it occur on every map at least once, and the same for every gametype.

i had this problem, it knocked out the sound out of my sound card, SE audigy, during the time i could play sound out of my onboard however.

winamp wouldn't work after i exited RO2 until i disabled the sound device and re enabled it

I'm having this same issue, not sure if there's a log that I should upload.

This has happened to me twice. Once I changed server and the problem was solved; the second time I tried to join the same server I was playing on, the ingame menu made sounds, "pop" sound when joining the server and no game sounds, so I had to close and open the game again.

I have no clue what can trigger this.

 

[MrBenn]

Happened to me once also, no popping sound or anything for me though.

i spawned and everything was silent... aaah!

 

[un_fumeta]

With "pop" sound I mean something like if you were pluggin or unpluggin your headphones having them on.

Just happened to me now, connected to my 2nd server of the session. Getting the "pops" when starting the map, trying to reconnect (didn't fix), and exiting the game. Just tried Media Player after exiting, and sound is working fine in Windows.

I have also had this problem. Posting system specs might help the devs.

Windows 7 x64
Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium

Quite a rare event for me, happened only twice in 7 hours of gameplay.

Using a USB DAC and headphones.

This bug has never affected me before until a few minutes ago and i think i know what triggered it. At the end of the match when the game shows the scores and exp gains i have always clicked 'next', 'next', 'exit' but this particular time i decided not to click 'exit' at the end. Lo and behold the next map came along and i had no sound? I'm bout to try this out again see if it reproduces!

It happens 5 minutes ago for me, I think it mostly happen for everyone in Countown Fallen Fighters.

I have experienced the same exact problem you all describe...
I am using the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme sound card... I noticed that someone else said they were using a soundblaster card. Is it possible that it is a sound device issue?

 

[Danny M NL]

Happened to me after I was offered the option of 'stealing' someones class at the beginning of a round and I picked marksman. After that there was no more sound and the game was rendered impossible to play as a marksman because enemies kept sneaking up on me from behind but I couldn't hear them.

This happened on Apartments.

 

[Lunatitch]

Happened to me a few times, on Countdown Fallen Fighters. Sound just pops and then everything is silent (other PC sounds still work, mumble was still working at the time).
Going to the menu gets the sound back but entering the same server makes sound disappear again.

Only way to fix is to restart the game.

Realtek onboard sound.

 

[Jongo]

Ive had this bug, massive pain when it happens. If you disconnect from the server and rejoin the same server it still persists.

Only way to fix it is to exit the game and re launch and rejoin the server which is less than ideal.

I am using an onboard realtech card.

 

[stingel]

I've got this, too. Happens every 1-2hrs ingame, until now everytime during a map change.

Using a realtech onboard sound chip on a asus p5q board and windows 7 64bit ultimate.

I had this bug occur to me, but slightly different. I was on the 29th ID server and played several rounds there, until one round switched and suddenly I had no gunfire or voice sounds. All I heard was the music.
