[Tuning] bug - Sound goes mute
- Thread starter scone2
- Start date
How come this problem has still not been added to the list of bugs stickied? I am getting concerned that with under a week to go this game will still be a mess when its released.
On nearly every map change I get a pop then no sound until I exit the game.

Dude, if it is so, you are a good tester to help the devs fix this. It has only happened to me twice in... 25 hours of play?
Try to understand in what situation your sound goes mute. What did you do after the previous match ended? What happened in the map vote? Lots of players left? I don't know, anything that may help the devs get the game even better!
I have only had this once or twice on the first day of beta, haven't experienced it anymore since..

This bug just happened for me in release version as well. Played a few rounds on a couple servers fine. Then the server I was on loaded a new map and I heard a "pop" and no more sound in-game. Sound works fine out of game. Alt-tabbing out and back in doesn't do anything. Have to restart the game to fix it.
Sound Card is a Creative X-Fi Titanium HD with latest drivers for it and all my other hardware. No sound issues with a variety of other games (both new and old) that I play.

I'm having this problem to. Seems to happen randomly, however it always happens at the start of a round. I normally must restart the entire game to get sound back as even the main menu has no sound. The strange part is, it never happened to me on the beta which i got day 1 and played for a number of hours. It has only happened to me on the release version. I hope this helps, btw love the game TW!
I experience a loud 'bang' which sounds a bit like a grenade going off close by, each time I spawn (certainly seems to be a sound from the game though), but I don't lose sound at any stage. Not sure if this is related. Audigy 2 card, win7 64bit. Would like to see them remove this artifact as it's bloody loud.
I had my sound cut out as well right after a map load. I also noticed at the same time that Ventrilo got really quiet so I took a look at the Windows sound mixer and it was showing RO2 constantly outputting sound at 100% volume, yet I could hear nothing. Had to restart the game to fix it.

M-Audio Revolution 5.1 sound card (though it sounds like this is a pretty general problem)

Had this bug happen again, same as I posted about before. Both times it happened right as the map finishes loading. You hear a popping noise as the sound card apparently drops out from the game. Sometimes if you alt-tab out and back into game you can hear some popping noise again.
Both times the issue occurred early in the game session for the day. Meaning, within the first half-hour of play after I boot up the game for the first time that day. It seems as though I can play for hours loading map after map with no problems after the problem happens and I restart the game. A bit of a limited sample size there though.

Many players on our servers are getting this no sound problem worse then ever with the last patch.
This is a rather serious bug, players need to reboot the entire game to get their sound back.
I hope Tripwire makes this a priority in their fixes. It leaves the players with a real bad taste in their mouth having to boot up almost on every new map.

I'm having a similar issue with my audio. (SB X-Fi XtremeGamer) It used to work fine all up until last week sometime.
I have sound during the single player intro cinematics, but once in-game (both single and multi), I get nothing. Not the occasional loss of audio when changing maps, but literally no sound period. I'm a deaf soldier in combat.
I updated my audio drivers, rolled them back, and even tried beta drivers. I have validated my game's cache, deleted config files, and reinstalled the game a few times... and various combinations of the above.
The odd thing is, once I'm in a match (single or multi) the game does not show in my audio mixer. However, when I first launch the game, I see that "UnrealEngine3" is in fact in my audio mixer. So, whenever a match begins, it's no longer in my mixer.
Any ideas on anything else I can try? I'm desperate to find a solution here.
