It should be noted that throughout all of this, I could still hear the voice chat.
Now, the game has failed to sync account 3 or 4 times in a row.

Suggestions:
1) Download and install - The latest RealTEK drivers (they're universal) from here: http://www.realtek.c...3&GetDown=false
2) Set streams - Go to the RealTek HD Audio Manager (Red "speaker" in tasktray or in control panel). From the "Speakers" Tab, click on "Device Advanced Settings" in the top right corner. Separate Audio Streams for recording and disable 5.1 when using headphones (see attached image).
3) Disable Enhancements - Disable any sound effects and sound effect enhancements from the windows playback properties in the windows audio control panel. These add additional audio streams that cause this to occur.
4) Reduce stream count - Go to your C:Users<NAME>DocumentsMy GamesHawkenHawkenGameConfig and open the HawkenEngine.ini file. Find the [XAudio2.XAudio2Device] section and change the max channels to 32:
FROM:
[XAudio2.XAudio2Device]
MaxChannels=48
TO:
[XAudio2.XAudio2Device]
MaxChannels=32
P.S.
DedHed... Someone had their audio stuck on during that match we were in together and that attributes to this too... it's an additional audio channel. Also, good shooting! You were the only one who killed me.

I'll try the fixes and get back to this.
Also: Really? There were four people in that match. Cool, anyway. It's actually odd...I saw a drop off in players per match as soon as this occurred.
*edit--c0mad0r: remember what was said regarding .ini's and terms of service? Just for safety, don't know if it's a bannable offense.

...and just now seeing the mention of possible banning for modifying .ini files... please don't ban me, I'm no cheater, I'm just a guy in love with the sounds of armored hell stomping the bajeezus out of everything

In the middle of a match I heard a loud pop and my sound went away including the music I had playing in itunes. I tried reseting my Logitech G930s(built in sound card) which brought my music back up but not game sounds. I continued playing until my music dropped out again, reset the headset again but still had no game sound or music. I decided to reset the game, the instant the game closed my music popped back on again and when I started the game the sound was fine. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem.
I'm pretty sure there wasn't anyone talking over VOIP when this happened.

1) Changing from 48 to 32 ONLY helps on certain older RealTEK cards (Core2 DUO and AMD Phenom II based mobo's)... In truth, it helped my i7 out by increasing from 48 to 64 channels. Newer RealTEK onboard audio cards "technically" handle a maximum of 62 channels (2 reserved)... I looked it up. You can however offset that by adding the line "TotalAvailableChannels=62" below "MaxChannels=" if you really want to play it safe.
2) In my endeavor to find my issue, I actually found the culprit for me to be HDMI related. If you have a video card with HDMI Audio and are using a headset, you may want to switch to "Stereo Mode":
http://www.howtogeek...o-record-audio/
Reason? HDMI has the tendency to redirect "digital" audio streams to itself. Forcing the playback to stereo mode prevents HDMI from even noticing it. Everything works the same, it's just no longer "digital" signal. It's also the fact that the XAudio2 device driver doesn't support positional sound, only stereo... If they used OpenAL (AL Audio or OGG) it would work however... It's just one of those UDK gotcha's.
@Dedhed
First, I'm working on getting more info on that... Second, I've sent a ticket to Meteor on a few of the ini things and gotten back thankful responses. Unfortunately for me however, they do not want people changing the ini files until they have finalized their settings... Being that this is BETA, they do not want the masses messing up their testing by modding the ini files and I can completely respect that perspective. Finally, the ToS cannot legally pertain to this specifically due to the fact that this is hardware related and is dependent upon initialization of the AudioDeviceClass=XAudio2.XAudio2Device in the ini file (which is actually external to the game).
