So... yeah. There ya go.

The game runs perfectly, not a single complaint. But if I were to, say, switch my headphones, the sound dies. I tried turning the volume up, muting/unmuting, checking my audio settings, and all that jazz, but I can't see what's causing it. The only thing I can do is exit the game and restart. Any thoughts_

This happens with me as well, but it doesn't happen on just Hawken. It happens on a wide variety of other games

Set Hawken to bordered window mode.

Left click your volume controls.

Select 'open volume mixer'.

Compare plugged to unplugged, tell us what happens.

Yeah, but dude, we are at 1750. As much as we would like to be Professional Yolodrivers like you [Meraple] and Lightangel112, we're not there yet. It's something to aspire to, sure, but there's a lot of ground to cover.

Yeap, I noticed that as well.

This happens too with other vo/ip third party programs as for example RaidCall in case it helps soemhow. You unplug and sound is gone until you restart the stuff.

What kind of headphones_

USB headphones are considered a separate audio device under windows, and last I checked, Hawken doesn't play well with switching discrete output devices.

(I don't mean to necro threads, I'm just almost always running behind.  My apologies)

Just standard headphones, through the mic jack.
