Cannot hear other Players' Guns

[Smith]

I am using quite a few mods, but for some reason, I cannot hear others' sounds when firing their guns. Every other sound works perfectly fine. I can hear enemy and friendly AI shoot, I can hear my gun, I can hear Vehiclels, but I cannot hear players' firearms. Please help. I've had this issue forever hoping that it would be patched.

It's probably the fault of the mods or the server, not arma 3.
I had this issue too when i was betatesting a friend's roleplay server, he couldn't hear my guns, i couldn't hear his, so if someone has the exact same content as you he probably has the same problem.
Hope that helps.

[Smith]

Nope. All of the fellows in my unit use the same mods. I can't figure out the problem at all.

Did you ever work this out? got the same problem and its doing my head in. what mods do/did you run?

[Smith]

No, man. No dice. Still living with it.

[Mellisco]

My friends and I have this exact same issue. Can't find any information on it anywhere.

[MoonDawg]

Same issue here, and my community all use the same mods.
Tried reinstalling everything. no luck.

Also, other players cannot hear my gun, although I can hear and see mine.
Sp not related to missing animations/sound, making me think it is network related.

I discovered it to be a mod issue. I suspect a Flash Bang mod. Remove all your mods back to vanilla game state and test with some other players. I found with some weapons that the problem only occurred with single fire and that i could still see and hear fully automatic. Let me know how you get on

[Smith]

Thanks, man. I'll try it out.

I have tried the mods method, has not worked for myself.

I also have tried the 'audio tweaking' outside of arma (so basically ur sound setup in windows) with also no luck. I find it is random though, I can hear some players, but usually not all of them.

Also the players that I could not hear, sometimes I randomly can hear them, and then the next day back to not being able to. I have become so tired of trying to 'determine' what the cause is that I am starting to wonder if it isnt something that BI could address, or at least provide some sort of viable solution for us.

The randomly hear them, sometimes is reliant upon the fully automatic too, but sometimes it is not and I can hear both fire modes just fine.

I know there are way more people that are having this issue, as not everyone runs the game vanilla.

[Smith]

I'm with you. that's why I ust live with it for the most part. Occasionlly, I'll try to get to the bottom of the problem, but so far, no luck.

make sure everyone is on the same version of @CBA_A3

[Pedrovsky]

i disable the @MCC and it solve my problem. I have many others mods including @ACE

Our group just chose one of us to zip up his mods.. dropboxed.. then we all dloaded his EXACT files.. at that point we were all in 100% synced files and our sound problems went away.

(Hence why the big online milsim groups use sync'd repositories, .. NOT everyone dloading individual mods on their own)

Are you running 3cb?

[J. Elkroc]

Bump. I experience this way too much and would like the problem to go away, or a decent workaround. No solutions in sight. Google is no help.
When my friend and I join the server the gun report sound works vanilla but with the same addons it does not. Not running ACE, but a lot of gun mods to play on certain servers.
Then I noticed - when I reload, the reloading sound is milliseconds behind the video action. I wonder if there is a way to sync up the sound of me reloading and it would fix hearing my friend's report.
Any idea how to sync up the sound to the game video?
