Good news:
Just to keep this thread going, on the slim chance EA/DICE do anything about this ... It's still happening in game, sound will randomly cut out and you have to restart game to get sound back. I play this game 24/7 and I would say it happens on average at least once a week, sure it's not the worst bug but when it happens at the start of a round and your getting good kills it is SO annoying having to choose between finishing the round with no sound of just take the hit and quit.
Please fix this issue!

My DxDiag report
@EA_Atic Here is mine, this issue has happened to me since launch. It is also happening on new maps (ex. death star 2) and this issue doesn't happen to only one person at a time. While I experienced the glitch on the death star 4 to 6 people (including me) were saying their audio was gone. That means about 20% - 30% of people are experiencing this issue. (About 1 out of 5 or about 1 out of 3)
I also recorded a video about it a few patches ago please watch it, the things I captured in my video makes me think it is a faulty sound object overloading the game's sound system, I now think an object present in every map is having this issue, theoretically any object could have this issue if it is tweaked incorrectly (I will quote my previous post word for word):
Interestingly enough the glitch seems to go away on the spawn screen and temporarily as an interceptor. The sound goes away as I move closer to the juggernauts which leads me to believe this is some sort of object on kashyyyk that is overloading the game's sound system.
Please fix this issue, it has been here since launch
Important times:
2:40 the sound returns temporarily on the spawn screen
3:59 the sound returns temporarily as the interceptor and goes away as I move towards the juggernaut
At the very end the game crashed while I tried to change my audio settings.
Always occurred randomly, but it has become much worse since the may update and the hotfix didn't make it better. Here is a video, the game goes completely silent and I have to restart it if I want the sound back:
More frequent on Death Star 2 but can happen on pretty much every map, can't play through the rotation without losing sound at least once. Tried several tricks, enabling/disabling the sound card, unplugging mouse, keyboard, but didn't help.
This is definitely an issue with the engine, older FB games had it as well.
Just to add this happens to me at least once a day, I'm playing on PC and all my drivers are up to date. It randomly seems to happen a lot at the start of Theed map, but also happens on all other maps as well. I would say I've not yet noticed it in HvV or SA game modes but playing as much as I do (around 10 hours a day average) I see this annoying bug at least once a day on some map in GA. It'd be great if this bug could be investigated as typically you are forced to choose between leaving a game or playing with no sound.
