Sound cutting out in multiplayer

[|450|Devil]

I have lost sound four or five times on OGN and SYNDICATE servers generally just after AAA goes off near my aircraft. The sound either goes completely or becomes very broken. I have noticed another player also texting that they have lost sound as well.

This did not happen before the latest patch.

Happened to me in the latest beta, I did report it, obviously wasn't fixed.

I'll repeat what I posted elsewhere, as all do not seem to have seen it:

I've found two switches in Windows: Sounds -> Playback -> [device] -> Properties -> Advanced -> Exclusive Mode
UNCHECK this.
I've tried many servers, sounds are all on.

Tried this but still lost sound mid misson.

edit* rebooted and seems to be working, 2 missons with no sound loss.

Tried "Windows: Sounds -> Playback -> [device] -> Properties -> Advanced -> Exclusive Mode UNCHECK this" and then flew on OGN and SYNDICATE servers for over an hour each without any problems. Included attacking a number of AI and human operated aircraft. Little AAA though.

This worked for me too. I have a VIA sound chip.

Tried and it worked for a while but then sound has gone again. It is driving me crazy!

Same here, had sound for 3 missons on SYN then lost it for the last 2, MP is back to being unplayable for me
