Finally the light at the horizon is getting nearer.
In addition, I noticed that the repetitive helicopter like "whoosh-whooshing" sound at the loading screen just prior to character selection screen is also gone on PTS.
However, during 5 different log-ins on the PTS today, I only heard the audio cue when my 'PLAY' button lit up on my very first login, which was when the large patch downloaded. Every subsequent login after that, there was no audio cue when the 'PLAY' button became available.
Its not perfect, but it seems there has been progress on sound.

Hello, I'm adding myself to the list of user affected by this. Here's a quick video capture when this happened:

I've already sent you all the details - ticket #5531988

I have noticed one thing but it may be completely unrelated: I experience this error after playing for 2-3 hours, but what I do during loading screens is consult youtube videos of datacron locations and watch some gameplay. Thus, I would suggest that the issue could be related to the browser flash plugin (which sometimes crashes and is restarted automatically by the browser - sometimes the restart fails - so maybe in the process the flash playback "steals" access to some sound channels). I kept experiencing this issue or regular basis, but last night I played almost 5 hours (without youtube opened in my browser) and didn't experience the issue once.

I can assure you that this is something we wish to have resolved as soon as possible.

Please read this post by Amber Green for an update on the issue.
That post is refering to a few isolated problems a small percent of people were experiencing, it has nothing to do with this memory leak issue EVERYONE is experiencing
& if that post is relating to this issue do you seriously expect us to wait while you guys fix it one sound at a time (at a rate of 1 per month)

so far the only thing you have done is remove sounds & call them fixed

Also that removal did not fix anything at all. Extra fail. Pretty sure at this point they are hoping 1.3 patch fixes all sound issues. I also seen sound bug questions on the PTS forums being immediately locked. Its ok though since they wait for 1.3 to fix it they'll owe me 2+ months of free time. If it doesn't fix it it'll just increase the number of free days they owe me(us). Call them yourself. They cannot justify paying for a game with this many sound problems. Its automatic free 1.2.

Just to add to the topic. Had all sound issues from 1.2 on WinXP. Recently bought a NEW hard drive and installed a fresh retail copy of Windows 7 Ultimate with a fresh install of SWTOR and all sound problems still immediately exist. lol. Must be the computer or the OS though.

I have done the same thing several times now and BioWare continues to send me the same response for the problem.
1. Fix Launcher
2. Run REPAIR tool
3. RE INSTALL SWTOR
4. RE INSTALL Windows 7
5. Keep sending tickets so we can go back to #1

I have just started to experience this bug. Only seemed to happen when I got to Hoth. Repair did nothing for this.

This is still happening to myself, my wife, and everyone in my guild. Coincidentally, I have also found that this will happen at the same point to everyone in every Operation we run. There is definitely something happening in the game that is triggering this issue.

For the love of God, please fix this problem!
