Enabling "sound in background" and putting the in-game master volume slider to 100% fixed this issue for me. If you still need to control your swtor volume seperately, you can use the built-in windows volume controls. (Note: you need to restart to enable sounds in background)

Best of luck!
fixed the issue for me, but still hoping for a "real" fix, since I tab in and out alot, and dont wanna hear the game sound then:P

Missing and dropped sound throughout.

Haven't tried restarting.

Submitted ticket and checked forums.

Please fix asap. Warzones are unplayable with that static noise.
Agreed, happens randomly on fleet and Hoth as well... only all locations do not have this. Sometimes it is very loud sound effects; at other times, it is very loud ambient sounds. Muting them both is a temporary option, but not really a permanent fix due to playability issues. You want to be able to hear fighting and other sound cues.
Life is a delicate negotiation. cake is a lie and this is all a figment of your imagination. And the sith code about passion... interesting...

Need a quick hotfix for this.. Lots of bugs for 1.2, but the sound issue is a major concern. Companions won't talk outside conversations, sound buggy in WZs, and a very irritating lightning generator sound in Black Talon (when you are in the big droid room for DS choice) that i need to mute my speakers. Currently the game's unplayable with the sound problem.

Untill the 1.2 patch there were no sound issues and i have been playing since december. Ill try updating some drivers see if that does the trick but its a fair bit frustrating to try and play the story but cant hear it
I'm experiencing this same exact thing

Same sound issues as reported. Not related to anything specific like Warzones.
Realtek on MSI P55M Board.
Voices are metallic and low at first than happen to vanish completely during gameplay. It seems to get worse everytime you zone to a new area. Some sounds do not stop at all, the volume of sounds does not fit together (far things loud, some near things low).

Same issue here. Static looping I think it is one of the lighting effects that trigger it.
Voice cutting out no certain lcoations. Etc

/bump

IŽd appreciatte an answer from Bioware.

With this patch, much people is getting annoying sound issues after few mins when logging. Why?. What was changed with this new patch?. It didnt happened just a day before 1.2 was released. I just had some sound issues when beta testing in huttball but it was fixed after and all were ok since.

Is anything bugged and will be fixed asap or is working as intended and we must fix our pcs?.

I can deal with bugs etc but this sound issues are really irritating. Turn off sounds is not an option for me. Restarting the client every 30 mins neither. IŽd like to know if BW is trying to do something about or not.

Thanks in advance.

Same problem experienced today. I was in Quesh/Warzones/Fleet. At some point the ambient sounds and music disappeared and voices worked randomly.

Experiencing the exact same problems! Attack sound effects and dialog are randomly muted sometimes. Very annoying
