I've found a post on steam that talks about this:

No intermittent sound played issue in KF2 and possibly other UE3 games :: Killing Floor 2 General Discussions

Hey everyone, there's a very annoying issue in KF2 that I have and other people report as well. Sometimes a sound just won't play. The sound can be anything, from a husk cannon spinning up, through the footsteps of an approaching zed behind, through EDAR trapper spinning up, through Patty...

Was paying more attention today as i was playing, and indeed i couldn't hear husk charging his weapon and firing it, not to mention fireball itself having no sound traveling, until it hit a wall and impact sound played.

These 3 clips happened within 1 hour in the same server (Official HoE NL Server).

This has been happening for a while, possibly since Summer Update? No more Stalkers hiss/footsteps, Crawlers crawling, and other sounds. I do play with 3D headset, and miss hearing stuff behind me. I've reset my INIs since summer, so they should be current.

So you're saying even though you've reset them, it still doesn't work?

Correct. The only one I keep is INPUT, and I even clear that a couple of times annually. I use ESDF and an 11-button mouse, so my controls are quite customized.

One more video uploaded recently shows the problem still happening with the latest patch. The trapper EDAR sounds did not play and the player had no idea he was being trapped.
