Hello,

You are not the only one. I also have this issue.

Specs are: i7 920, Asus P6T, ATI HD5870, 12GB DDR3

Do you have any of this hardware?

Cheers,

I've had this issue, though it takes several games to kick in, I can hear it coming though. The sound will degrade over time, gets a bit of static/tearing kinda deal going on especially when many sounds are going at once. It will eventually have no sound at all at the start of an upcoming game.

I've tried adjusting audio settings but nothing saves.

yea just started doing this to me after the patch

 

[tynman]

Yes, happens here too after this recent patch.

 

[vonschnitzel]

its happening to heaps of people

However a couple things can fix it from what I heard though it didn't for me


Shut down the game
Shut down Steam

Then reopen

Works for some but not others

With the latest patch they took one step forward and two step backwards.

Most people are having the no sound bug and have to reboot the game almost on every map change. Very frustrating to the point that they just stop playing the game.

This needs to be fixed a.s.a.p. It is a serious game breaker that is affecting a lot of people.

Have you noticed in what gametypes it is happening , here the last 2 times it occured were when the gametype changed from CD to TE.

 

[ItsJono]

Happened to me too! I'm on dedicated sound (Creative Soundblaster Audigy SE 7.1)

 

[Pretoryan]

This is not a new issue. You could search and bump old threads , instead of making new ones every 10 mins.

 

[IceShade]

Started happening to me as well after the patch.

 

[Rhym3z]

i have this issue, and it really annoys me. it requires a restart of the game to fix.

this issue has been around since beta

 

[lkfhsagh]

Happens to me too. Really ****ing infuriating.

I'm using a Logitech G35 gaming headset on 7.1 surround if that's any help.

Happens to me aswell. I use my realtek chip as output device, I DO appearently have a chip on my ATI HD 4850 but I never use it and sound worked fine in the beta, and now since hte patch happens after mapchange^^^^.

If you guys want to help the dev's get this solved faster all of you need to post what sound device you are using for your computers output, whether its your onboard motherboard sound jack, computer case sound jack or sound card outputs.

A poster above said he was having this problem with an ASUS P6T, I have that exact same motherboard along with a i7 920, however I'm using a Creative X-FI Xtreme Music sound card instead of the onboard sound which he may be using.

So that makes a big difference for the dev's in trying to narrow down the problems.

Post what sound jack / sound device your speakers or headphones your plugging them into, along with a detailed name and model number of it.

Happening to me too now, only since patch. Using on-board Realtek device as well -- at first glance, looks like it might be an issue only with on-board Realtek sound chip, but on the other hand, the majority of people do use it.

 

[PzRSpeRRe]

That...

 

[StardogChampion]

Started happening since yesterday's patch. Exiting the game then re-opening fixes it.

On-board Realtek. Gigabyte Z68.

Luckily the score saves.

It's not, I have an Creative Audigy 2 ZS and I have the exact same problem. Sound degrades over time only to give off one last loud "pop" and the audio is dead from there on until I restart the game.

I don't exactly loose all sounds. For me the sound only comes out of my Center and the right speakers. The left sound-channel seems to be deactivated. So the front-right, back-right and Center-speakers word, rest is disabled.
After closing the game sound is working for all 5 speakers again, so it's definetly a problem with the game

I'm using a 5.1 Soundsystem together with a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy4 on a Win7 OS.
