loss of sound on mass effect andromeda
After a period playing mass effect andromeda in multiplayer, the audio completely cuts out leaving just voice comms playing in the background. It makes multiplayer absolutely dreadful. It is like...

I had it serveral times.
The last time I noticed that it mute after a sound effect was played. Not sure if this is something to do with the audio control stuff in the game.
Of course, I have to restart the game to restore the sound.
Just had it happen again now. Wave 2 of 7.. needless to say, that all i wanted to do at that point was stop playing.. get to level 7.. then i can close my game and restart.
Sorry but for a game that has been this long in the making and with the considerable cost this game is to buy, stuff like this needs to be sorted... even in a mini patch.
It is a known issue and an unfixed one in the most recent patch, so does anyone at EA have any idea when or if this will be fixed? Any word from Bioware?
The suggestion to use Breakaway as a cure, while i'm glad this has worked for you should not be the go-to fix for this issue that many people seem to be experiencing .. not just on PC either.. have seen some people with PS4 saying its happening to them too.
So as much as i'd normally give things a try, paying $30 for something else just to get the sound working on ONE game.. does not seem solid reasoning at all.
Thanks for the suggestion but I really do think it is up to Bioware to fix their game and make it so that gamebreaking faults such as loss of sound and crashes etc. are not plaguing the 'user experience' to this extent. I really hoped it was going to get cured in 1.05, but now i'm questioning if its on the queue for 1.06?
It's a shame because aside from the dreaded unmappable console key and this loss of audio issue, multiplayer is actually a lot of fun!
I don't know if it will help, but i grabbed my shadowplay recording just now of this audio loss problem happening as early as wave 1 in multiplayer. You could argue that the music that seems to play some way through is sketchy at best, but it is the total lost of audio that is really ruining my multiplayer experience.
Man, this is graphics card compatibility issue for sure. It is, like 90% of the time.EA is not touching this anytime soon, so don`t hold your breath. Install Breakaway, enjoy 30 days trial, clear the single player, and move on. (On a side note, the problem still won`t go away completely but it provides a huge alleviation to the complete loss of environmental sound I was experiencing).
