Thanks IvanK,

yes I noticed that also 303_Tees has the same configuration.


So what is left now is to see whether
ANYBODY HAVING THE SOUND BUG and has NVIDIA GPU + MOTHEBOARD SOUNDCARD?


It may be a lucky guess and then at least it is easier to re-produce the error (and hopefully fix it).

I could of course ask you to remove or disable your external sound card (I hope you have a soundcard on your motherboard) but it would be too much to ask so, let's go the easy way, let's wait to see if somebody will turn up with this configuration and soundbug, or not.

I have an nVidia GPU and I'm using the motherboard's sound chip and I experience the sound bug.

In the first MP game I tried after the latest patch the sound bug appeared within about 2 mintues, it then actually came good again about 5 mins later (yes I held out that long testing other things )

The next day I flew for maybe 20 minutes, respawned a couple of times and no bug whatsoever.

Both servers were patched to the latest version as well. (I guess they'd have to be as it was the official steam patch )

Hmmm OK, if this is the last experience, post again please if you lose the sound again.

ATI and i got it, also i realised it knocks the sound out fully in the game you have to fully exit the game and start it up again.

Yes, thats what happens. First the sound is ok long time and then cuts off. I notice that if there is more planes the sound drops out faster and if there is only few planes, the sound dont crash!

The two times I flew online since the patch there were only 3 other players maximum. The server with only 1 other pilot was Syndicate and I got the sound bug. The other server with 3 other players (later dropping off to 1 other player) didn't have the sound bug.

I haven't flown online since (can you blame me? There's too few people to play with! )

Guys, I did not believe my eyes (ehem... my ears!) yesterday!

Have been testing some things at the REPKA server as usual and I got bored (no players) and for the first time I went to a different server (the only one with a lot of players inside) actualy one where the REPKA islands game was running...

Took off and when I went to external mode NO SOUND !!!!!
I had the sound bug!! )

Inside the plane sound was OK. I continued flying.
When after some minutes I used the external view, sound was back there.

Interesting....

I have a Nvidia GPU (GTX 470) and experienced the sound bug in 3 configurations:

- with my USB headset (Creative Fatal1ty) which is my usual config
- with my motherboard sound
- with a Creative Audigy sound card

On some missions I get lapses with sounds going away and back, but if the missions involve a lot of AI spawning straight at the beginning, then the sound always dies immediately and totally, and given that I mostly fly online to fly coop with a few friends, this has killed the game for us.
