HrRav Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Anyone else who has experienced that the sound shuts off right after spawning in a new match? It has happened to be a couple of times. Only SWTOR goes silent---I can still hear sound from other programs I am running---and it has only happened for me in gsf. It is not until you loose the sound that you realise how important it is for the gameplay. It is so much harder to realise that you are under attack or to follow up on your own attacks!

Ttoilleekul Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Yep, I've had that about once or twice a week. It usually disappears right as you enter the match and comes back about half way in. Depending how long the match is. I usually find the easiest way to handle it is to play a "passive" GS from behind safe lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toraak Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 check your audio drivers. They may need to be updated. I lost sound like that the other night, and had to update my drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwil Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I have a brand new computer. Everything updated, and it still does this sometimes. I thought it might have been part of my old computer dying process. I dont think its the case now, lol. They may leave it in as a feature, like tier 4 and 5 deselects, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeCKSEgai Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yeah I've gotten it and that is with a fresh install from the ground up. I'm not sure it was from accidentally hitting the mute hot key but it does eventually return (the audio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramalina Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yeah I've had it too. It's annoying. Never used to happen on my old laptop though, which is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xineohp Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I just had it happen to me, I just went to sound options turn off both Enable sound and background audio and turned them both back on and it fixed it. It may have been a fluke but give it a shot the next time it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HrRav Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Allright, I've learned from other players that the sound usually returns after about half the game. Today, however, I had the funny experience that I lost the sound twice. It was in a Battle over Iokath game and I lost sound during the first spawn sequence. After a couple of minutes the sound returned, but the next time I was shot down, I lost sound again at respawn.This time the sound returned when I picked up a speed boost. I have a vague memory that I was taking a powerup when sound returned the first time as well. And I am not sure if I have ever encountered the sound bug in a domination game. Anyone else who have made similar observations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toraak Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I've gotten the sound bug in Domination matches before as well. It's not exclusive to tdm's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
