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 just had this happen to me. Multiplayer match, everything is going fine ... aaaaaand wwwwooosh, there goes the sound. No more sound at all in "Mass Effect Andromeda". Sound everywhere else still works tip top. E.g. I can "Alt+Tab" to another window and I will still get sound just fine, it's only "ME:A" that has gone mute. So it's not a system-wide problem.
When I exit "ME:A" and then start it again, sound will work again.
Very annoying 😕
I have this same problem. I have reported this problem to EA about sound going out completely and going mute.
I too have installed the latest audio drivers for my card and I've tried disabling sound drivers for nvidia or realtek. It does not matter, there is something int he ME:A client that is crashing the sound. The only way to get sound back is to completely restart the game.
Usually I just mute everyone and I feel this prevents this issue.
Here's what I think is causing sound to go completely out during multiplayer:
1. Someone is using their microphone on their computer to overload the ME:A client with sound info causing your sound to go silence.
2. The aura field that Asari Adept give off may be overloading sound.
3. Too many explosions and other sounds around you at once can cause this.
I've tried everything to see what causes this problem. I've jus sat inside a doorway on my last play through on wave 3 and all of a sudden, sound goes out to complete silence.
