[Error] Sound gone when joining to server

[murhis]

After the latest patch it seems that everytime I'm connecting to the server my sounds will be gone. Well infact there's some static like "blipping" sound occuring like morseing. It's the same bug we had on beta, but now it's occuring everytime I connect to the server.

Sounds worked like a charm a patch ago, but now not at all. There shouldn't be anything changed on my end and when there's no crash .dmp files I dunno how to help anymore than saying this is happening? Anybody else having this?

I've had something similar to this ever since the beta.

The difference for me is that the sound works normally most of the time except sometimes when the server I'm on goes to a new map my sound vanishes aside from odd little pops every once in a while. The only way to fix it for me is to close the program and start it again. I've never had it start on joining a server though, only when the map switched.

Hi, I am experiencing the same problems as Shoelip. Most of the time the sound is fine but every now and again the sound is lost when the server loads a new map.

I have lost all my sound as well mate
So your not the only one

Hello all, Had the same problem not really so much on joining but I've noticed as the match progresses more and more sounds stop working.

From the start of the match I can hear all SFX, After 2 minutes explosions will stop, then voices will stop, then breathing, then most rifle shots will stop, and then foot steps until all I'm left with is the victory music at the end and even that sometimes decides to stop. the only way I've found to remedy this is to close the game and rejoin but after a new map has loaded it all starts again.

And when I set the Music volume in settings to 0% the game every now and again will burst in to glorious Soviet trumpets and horns, and then suddenly stop and do it again.

All Audio drivers are up to date ect.

Same here. Sound is fine until a server changes maps, when quite often it will knock out the game sounds entirely. Only fix is to restart the game.

This bug has been around since beta

EDIT: I'm using an Asus Xonar DG soundcard with the latest drivers.

 

[Rellikplug]

It might be helpful if you offered your sound card/onboard sound info.

 

[Jammybee]

Same problem. I have tried 2 soundcards, Xonar DG and realtec AC899. Seems random, server changes map, there is a 'pop' whilst loading and then no sound. Drivers up to date etc.

 

[Raquel]

same here, this only started happening since yesterday's patch, xonar DX here

 

[Patu.Kuovi]

Happened to me twice, yesterday and today. Asus Xonar DG here. At least a couple of my friends also had the same issue, they use integrated soundcards.

vote this thread, maybe we'll get a reply from TWI

 

[Jamer]

Yes, same here, If I can get in the game, it's ok for a couple mins, then starts crackling and then popping like a snapping sound and then I lose all sound completely.

Since the last two patches the game keeps getting worse for me.

[husbert]

i have win7 64 and the soundproblems too

sometimes its after joining sometimes its while gaming

 

[MajorMelchett]

Yep, happened to me just now, all was fine on one map then it switched to the next and no sound at all.

On board nviida sound.

I just hope Tripwire realizes that this is a completely game-breaking bug. Having the audio cut out every other round (and horrible static etc. when it *is* working) makes for a seriously bad experience with the game.

Every server I've been on I've seen countless "Where's my audio?" comments in the chat after each map load.

For me this is the most severe issue at the moment by far.

Same problem here. When a new map starts to loud, there is a popping noise and then the sound goes out. All the sound, including menu sound.

I'm using Realtek onboard sound.

 

[DemonFlip]

Happens to me as well, it also happened in the beta.

 

[DevilsGuard]

getting the same thing, what next

 

[MstrSHAKE]

This just started happening to me as well. Never happened through beta of first couple of day of release. It just started TODAY. I hope TWI is aware of this and gets fixed.
