Same happens to me. I am kind a blown away, that there is still no comments about this issue. And as I see this issue started way back after release.
I can only be apologetic to my team mates when this problem happens to me on my pc as i play really well up to the point where the sound goes, then i start missing things like a team-mate going down and i'm usually really good at being first-responder medic to them as i can blink through many walls on my duelist. It really does upset the whole multiplayer game experience when it happens.. you miss the early sound of incoming fire.. you miss those ambient noises you hear of the Ascendant/beast or the rapid gun fire of a destroyer nearby. With gimped audio you are missing so much that you become nowhere near as twitch-effective as you usually are.. and it shows in your overall score too. While i only use score to see if i'm being lazy or not, it clearly shows me not killing as much as i do when i have audio.
When Anthem gets released i'm going to watch the forums for that, and see how long it is before someone reports lost all audio during play on that.. same for SW Battlefront 2. Both use the same Frostbite 3 engine.. and one would hope that they would fix this ship before launching another right?
