I recently started this post to help the devs out with some (problem recreation) tips on the sound glitches that came in with the last patch. This is an update for you dev's!! After this mornings hotfix, It seems as though the sound may have gotten a bit worse on skirmish maps. Although I hardly ever get the sound glitch in the (mercanary battle) ambush game. I think it is still present in both ambush modes at least most of the time.
There is also a new problem occuring and hopefully some fellow dusters can explain it a bit better than me but the (hit detection and/or accuracy of hits counted against an enemy when clearly making good shots) has been effected it seems.
Feel free to comment here and lets try to help the dev's pinpoint this problem :)
Last but not least thanks again CCP for the great job you all are doing!! This game will keep my attention for a long while!! : ) |

+1 that, Alright Jay :) Worst thing is not hearing the gun shots being fired at you, by the time you realise your being shot at your dead! But I have no idea what causes the sound dropping out. I guess that's for the Devs to figure out. |

Good description OP -- but for me the worst thing is not hearing your own shots. I hesitate when I don't hear them. I didn't realize how used I am to the feedback. I keep thinking I ran out of ammo or had some other problem  |

It's very annoying and throws me off badly. when i have a gun fight i hear my gun shots and then the audio stop and i can't tell if im still shooting so i stop shooting and then i die lol.

This started happening a few days ago for me. The new update just seems to have made it worse.

Yeah I forgot to mention the fact that your own rifle sound goes completely out after this (sound drop) occurs...
Probably the most annoying part for me as well.. |

Yep, i feel the same way, having no sound disconnects me from the gunplay and i seem to miss a hell of allot more as i catch myself not readjusting my aim when i miss the target, nor do i head for cover when i get hit and i didnt even hear a shotgun sneaking up on me and 2 others, all i heard was "swish".
Not playing until this is fixed, it ruined my score tonight... |

When my force gun is at maximum charge, i can no longer hear it as well. I also noticed if I did many assault rifle in sort bursts, it does okay but when I let the whole magazine fly, it stutters out about halfway through. |

Thanks for the video!! This is a perfect example of what I and many others are experiencing. Glad you took the initiative to add the video as no post can perfectly describe this glitch. Hope this makes things easier for them to fix I for one can't wait to hear the new sounds working as intended and once again, great game ccp keep it up!! |

For everyone's info - that was happening occasionally before the new audio. If it's not happening every game since then, it might not be a direct result of the new stuff. I'd get that once a day or so this entire build, sometimes more, and usually on that map (not usually when on that map I'd get it, but usually when it'd happen, oh look it's that map). |

I had a friend tell me the same thing but it seems for alot of us this is happening every single game, I personally never experienced it (to a noticable extent) before the patch. But personally I like the new AR sound when it does sound off... |

New sounds are quite good. Also, unless I'm crazy, I noticed a texture update too. Either way, sound cuts in and out. Basically everything is silent except for background explosion sounds. It's as if we're in an eerie twilight zone where even being hit doesn't make much of a noise. |

Hello guys,
We are aware of this issue and are working hard to resolve it as soon as possible. This is something that was not caught by our testing team and that needed higher headcount to be tested thoroughly.

i was definitely getting the occasional glitch before the new sound effects. but tonight i USUALLY didn't have ANY sound effects at ALL.
i liked the old AR sound better anyway. it sounds more "real" now but it used to sound all cool and futuristic. SMG reload seems a little crisper though, but i only got to hear it once so maybe i imagined it. |

My standard 60 clip AR behaves a little differently. The sounds come and go. I can start a fight by myself but sooner or later the sound of my gunfire goes away. Some amount of time later the sound will come back. Normally in mid fight but not at the beginning. Start shooting in silence or near silence and suddenly the AR is barking once again.

Also to be include into this issue is the fact that the HMG is completely silent. Sounds for the SMG seem to be loud and clear. +1 on the AR sounds; until I hit a high density fire fight the sound seems to be OK, on cutting in or out every so often for a split second (i.e., catching the silence with no background environmental noise such as footsteps, and the cacophony of gunfire). Without the environmental sound, a person can not maintain ANY situational awareness.
Please fix this issue SOON! IT IS UNPLAYABLE! |

It seems to be worse in the more built up, industrial maps than the open, rocky ones. Perhaps something to do with the way environmental reverb is applied? I can hear my own SMG fine (the reload sound cuts out after a while) and usually can hear snipers, scrambler pistols, and shotguns, but all the fully automatic weapons go silent over the course of a match. Also, I can hear explosions, but they're muffled and sound much farther away than they actually are.
It's impacting gameplay quite a lot, though. |

I have also noticed that the rifle sound effect when it plays also will do two things. 1. It will start slow you will see several muzzle flashes before you here the sound effect firing. 2 The sound will be out of sync, you will see muzzle flashes but they will actually animate in between rifle sounds.
Its actually pretty funny a heavy in my squad said he liked the bug, it was like his HMG had a silencer, which I though was pretty pro. |

I believe that's an unrelated issue.
Does everyone who is having sound issues use a surround sound setup, or is it affecting folks with stereo as well? I noticed a bit ago that sounds are being sent to the wrong speakers as well. I was looking directly at a tiny laser guy fighting a blueberry 100 meters or so in the distance, and his laser sounds were sweeping through my rear speakers as though he was behind or right next to me, instead of way off in the distance where it should have just been quiet in my center channel. |

The patch was an improvement, but it's still far from acceptable.
Post-update sound glitches I've noticed so far:
* Enemy weapons and bullets not always heard -- most obvious was when a blaster tank was firing at me (close to moderate distances).
* MCC explosion didn't make any sound, background explosions were still playing.
* An entire "Objective A, NULL cannon..."-message was omitted (before the recent problems they'd stutter/skip at worst).
* You-got-a-kill-sound not always playing.
The top glitch is obviously the most serious one. |

Was better for a while but about 10 minutes into a skirmish match tank weapons started to stutter and could not hear enemy fire. Did hear when enemy weapons struck tank.
In the next skirmish battle moved to a squad with three players with mics. In the war room heard them fine. Moved to battle and the chat systems failed. No chat, no icon showing that I had headphones after I switched to another channel and back to squad.
Chat problem persisted after the battle. Leaving the game caused the PS3 to reboot.

I take back what I said about the patch today being an improvement. Only thing that was "better" was that I always heard my *own* weapon.
Enemy weapons even close by were absolutely silent quite often. Had someone shooting me from behind a few metres away but the only sound I heard were the bullets going by -- suggesting it was someone at a distance (until I turned around and saw how close he was that is). |

The improvement has increased with near sounds, however the dynamic range of the entire battlefield is still "muted" this may be result of the dts signal processing though i am not sure.
Ive tested both through my headset and surround sound theater, each has similar results, ive increased the ingame volume to 100 from my previous setting of 50 prior to original hotfix. This has only provided minor help.
The center sounds do come in clearly however the surround field is what is diminished there is no scope to the battlefield, sounds are easily lost in the background and simply dont have the same immersion effect as prior to the original hotfix.
Ive had to increase the bass and treble on my headset to just get a decent volume on center sounds, left right, rear all are really low.
This is all tested in ambush where there are far fewer competing sounds, i will update after checking out skirmish, which i will note had far greater sound dropout and lost sound(dialogue, missles, mcc explosions etc) than ambush.
That said if the aim of this hotfix was to first ensure sounds were not being omitted with a future hotfix to return DTS DSP effects than as far as i can tell in that regard it is successuful in ambush anyway |

After playing this evening (skirmish only) my conclusion is that the sound is MUCH better... Still a few cutouts but they only lasted moments at a time and I almost ALWAYS heard my own weapon. I notice alot of other people are still experiencing issues but it was positively a step forward from where it was (in most cases).... Anyway it is getting better!! thank you CCP and here is my sound update for today!!
the shotgun sounds were working for me (enemy fire)
forge gun full charge now worked (own gun) + (enemy fire)
lav noise seemed to represent the right distance/loudness
blaster fire cut in and out a bit
precision strikes were 25% silent 75% working (close estimate)
Hope this helps! |

I realize that the audio will be rolled back in just over an hour but I thought they should know about this oddity.
I was in a three Merc Squad and one got left behind at a Deployment.
Two of us Left Battle then Left Squad and the other restart their client.
The restarted client Merc sent new invites out and we got into a new squad.
The First Skirmish I had no sound at all.
All silent movie for the entire time although Squad Chat still worked.
Neither Squad member had the problem.
The next Skirmish my sound was back and gave no further problems.
This was NA, Ashland, Skirmish and ~08:45 GMT on a Fat PS3 non-PS2 compatible. |
