[Audio] Sound cuts out and only ambient sounds play (usually Refuel/SecTow)

(trollface) #21

This happens to me as well.
Every time on Refuel map and occasionally(about 25% of the time) on other maps.

Very frustrating.

(Shadedluck) #22

This happens most for me, as troll said, on the Refuel map. I’ve had it once or twice where it cut out on different maps, I think I was playing Terminal for one of them, but I’m not sure.

[QUOTE=Crispy;305070]The audio issues you’re describing have been reproduced by our Audio Programmer and are being investigated further. We do not require further information on this issue.

The issue can occur on a number of different maps, but it seems to occur more often on Refuel and SecTow.

The issue is usually solved when the game loads a different map (or possibly when reloading the same map when disconnecting and then reconnecting back into the same server).[/QUOTE]

Hope there is a fix soon, it is extremely difficult to play objectives or understand the story with no sound.

Happens to me on Refuel, SecTow, and the map where the Security repair a crane and hack a missle thing.

started happening to me after the patch

I just tried this setting and it seemed to work. It was only 1 game but hey somethings better then nothing. I’ll report back if the sound cuts out again[/QUOTE]

This seems to fix it for now - thanks for the tip! :smiley:

Edit: Might help a bit but it still happens :frowning:

Well this has gotten worse for me. Happens randomly on almost every map.
The problem with invisible players also remain.

Any ETA on a fix SD?

[QUOTE=Crispy;305533]Does this literally happen every single map without fail?

Does it happen with ‘visibility’ set to ‘Solo’?[/QUOTE]

It happens pretty randomly, it doesnt seem to be tied to one map, and doesnt ALWAYS happens, i would say its maybe 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 i lose sound in the first minute of a map, and stays that way till i go back to the main menu

(trollface) #29

Thats how it started with me, now it’s more like every other map. It started happening on maps that were fine before, like aquarium and shipyard.

(Ricaz) #30

For me it happens EVERY TIME in Refuel on the first objective.
It happens in most games in Shipyard, too.

(gubelfax) #31

happens to me and all my brink playing friends (6 ppl) too.

Everitime on refuel. A bit random on other maps

Merged duplicate issue thread.

(TwwIX) #33

It happens to me every time i play on Refuel. It’s been like this since the release.

(Boltthrower) #34

I would like to try out refuel as a map but I have to drop server every time it comes up as I only get ambient sounds.

(deems) #35

I have used s_restart from the console to restore sound, but it often dies again in the next few minutes. Once, s_restart crashed Brink, but I think that was before the latest patch.

(neg) #36

its 50/50 wether it crashes you or not

(demonad) #37

In the options turn off all the stuff under voip, worked for me.

(TwwIX) #38

None these suggestions on here work. Splash Damage needs to get their **** together and fix this **** already.

(light_sh4v0r) #39

Fix has been announced and should be released within a few days time for PC.

(Novalis) #40

The issue still exists even after the patch. It doesn’t happen on every Refuel and Security Tower Match but it still happens. I played a Sec Tower yesterday and the sound of my entire team went down. On the day before that it happened once on Refuel. Please do not let that off your radar, SD!
