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...

1% of players would be 1 in a hundred. With MEA its probably closer to 1 in 100,000. out of 2000 possible games since release I've had it happen half a dozen times. Thats 0.3% . Its due to people with problems in SP or connectivity problems in general, connecting to MP. So the other night I play half a dozen games, a couple of people drop out, tired/bored/made 1m credits, a couple more people join what has been a smooth set of games. Result, halfway into wave 1 the sound bombs out.
If the Devs implemented a fitness test, it would increase the game overheads and more people wouldnt be able to play. The EA_ guys, among others, are trying to help people and work out where the issues lie, but a lot of the time just getting abuse.
STIIIIIILLLLL happenening since latest update..... only happens to me in multiplayer though.
I play MEA every day since the release, in MP or SP. In MP, the sound bug happens sometimes twice in the same day, sometimes, nothing for 2-3 days. I had never encountered it in SP before, but it happened for the first time the day 1.06 was deployed. Could be a coincidence. Could be not.
Are you using Shadow Play when this audio bug occurs? It was happening to me when the game first came out and I used Shadow Play for my YouTube videos exclusively. I went to OBS and noticed that the sound drops stopped. I went back to Shadow Play today and lost my audio again. I think its related to Shadow play. and this happened on both my onboard sound and with my headset

My shadow play is always set to record the last 5 mins of game play. I use it mostly for recording bug evidence on ME:A. I'll try with it disabled though, heck i'll try anything right now.

and a much cheaper usb headset than yours but does the job 🙂 (it was 7.1 though)
