I played two successful matches, then on the third match, I had no in-game sound FX. However, I did have in-game sounds in menus, and VOIP from other players (so I know it's not my speakers/sound card!)

Might be important: at the start of the game, while still in the lobby, I did not ready up, and did not join the game until several minutes after it began (walked away from computer to grab a beer). When I came back is when the problem started and it lasted at least the entire match.

Then I got booted to write this bug :)

I had a similar problem with sound, sometimes when I load a map I hear a crackling sound and lose all audio for the rest of the match. After the match is done the game sound will start to crackle on and off again, but I lost game sound for 3 games in a row at one point.

All sounds from other programs still work, just the game sound that stops working.

I had an issue like this too. It happened to me when I scoped in using a Sharpshooter and looked pretty far down the map while people were fighting in my crosshairs.

Severity: 1

I got this same bug. Sometimes, the sound would cut out at the beginning of a match, and VOIP and menu sounds did not work for me either.

This is happening to me as well, resulting in a complete lack of in-game audio. Sound effects are audible again after exiting to the title screen.

Additionally, the audio intermittently cuts back in as the EU delivery animation kicks in, but disappears again a second or two later.

What kind of sound cards and sound card drivers are people that are experiencing this bug using?

I haven't experienced this bug - for contrast, I'm using a ASUS Xonar DG with kind of non-standard drivers - the Brainbit Uni Xonar drivers (CMI8786 codec, driver ver 7.12.8.1795).

However, I have had the experience in siege maps of being able to hear gunfire even when nothing is going on near me.  I haven't experienced it in TDM or DM maps, so maybe someone had their microphone open.

Same here.  Seems totally random.  I am using onboard audio.

Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD7-B3 mobo.




EDIT:  Hint: In a bug reporting forum it is expected that you provide applicable PC specs along with your bitching.  Otherwise you are JUST bitching.  Get it?

I having a similar problem as the OP. In match and every subsequent match sound would go out completely until restarted Hawken.  There would be the occasional sound pop as if the speakers were turning on.  Menu sounds and all other sounds  still worked.  Even when in menu the occasional pop would still happened.

I am this using this driver:
Realtek High Definition Audio
Version: 6.0.1.6392
