Only i know i reported this first week in april and there wasn't a single mention of 'sound or audio' in 1.06 patch notes at all. Is there any assurance that this problem is even going to be fixed or improved?
The very next game i joined. sound went off in wave 2. I've played so many games over the years, but this issue seems like it is unfixable client side at the moment, and if anyones got any really good suggestions, please feel free to help a guy out?
Tried:
driver update of both soundblaster audigy and nvidia gpu drivers. - no effect same problem occurs
disable hdmi outputs so that only the sound card one remains - no effect. same problem occurs
disabling shadowplay - no efffect same problem occurs
muting all players prior to match - no effect same problem occurs
disabling VoIP - no effect same problem occurs
running game in a window - no effect same problem occurs
tested both on speakers AND usb headset - no effect. same problem occurs.
disable microsoft game bar - no effect same problem occurs
change audio settings to nighttime etc. - no effect same problem occurs
play game in stereo rather than surround sound - no effect. same problem occurs
checked event logs for possible clues - none found. system reporting no issues.
Tested by hosting game and also joining games: same problem occurs regardless.
Checked for possible workarounds for previous frostbite engine games - found suggestions but variable not supported in ME:A - no effect.
Tested with Breakaway audio enhancer - no effect. same problem occurs
Reported problem on answers ea as both a bug and technical issue in both areas. No communication to show that this has been acknowledged as an issue/bug/fault, or if its being looked at. We need focus on this issue, its driving me crazy!!
Til its fixed it looks like many of us are stuck with No Sound Effects:Andromeda
