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 😕
Today 22/07 was the first day i've played all day without the sound dropping. Amazed. doubt any fix has been done.. as i've pretty much given up hope on that .. but it was nice to get 1 play session in without having to restart the game due to no sound.
This may be the solution. There could be comms devices within ME Andromeda for multiplayer.
Go to Sound settings, under the Communications tab set "When Windows detects communications activity:" choose "Do Nothing". This seems to have cured problems with audio on multiple browser windows/tabs cutting off.I know you say 'may' be a solution, but you know? i feel i've tried everything else so i've set this anyway and will try it out over the coming days. thanks for the input.. and an idea.. i'll give it a spin and see how it goes. Had to do a gold earlier where sound dropped in wave 1, not fun at all.
Let me know if that helps you but I checked and I have had that setting this whole time. Last time sound went out - yesterday evening.
