Sound issues

[b1ngnx33]

Anyone having issues with sound?

Sometimes it works, sometimes all I get is NOTHING.

I don't really mind too much.

Its just strange.

My sound has cut out whenever I use the pip view. Still looking for a response.

There are some intermitant sound issues, which we are investigating. With these issues, does it happen in a consistant way? For instance, only latter in the game (say 30 minutes in). We have difficulty reproducing the bug in the office and any information might help us fix it.

It happens later in the game. I don't the exact time. At the beginning its okay. I can hear the computer saying random stuff. Later on, I hear a little here, a little there.

The Vanilla PA had no sound issues I can think of.

So between Vanilla PA and TItan, something or a lot of stuff was changed.

Just my two cents.

It seems to happen anytime I enter Picture-in-Picture mode. All sound cuts out until I restart the game. I have only been playing in the galaxy battles so this is the only mode I have experienced this in so far. Wouldn't mind trying some other scenarios if you have anything specific you would like me to attempt to replicate.

There's a sound issue when you launch ships into orbit. Kind of skips/and or cuts out when you launch ships into orbit.

I've noticed sound stuttering during Lag, but that will obviously be due to lag.

The weirdest one for me is any VOIP program (Skype, Steam Chat, Razer Comms, Teamspeak) will cut out crash after 10-15 minutes in PA Vanilla and Titans and will require a game restart to get it back. My friends don't have the issue so no idea what's causing it.

Not a sound issue per-se but I've also noticed that the computer will say "Allied commander claimed bounty" or something to that effect when a silo has finished building a Nuke sometimes too.

Having the same issue here. Seems that later in the game the sounds disappear a little bit at a time. Eventually the female announcer's voice also starts clipping and eventually disappears altogether. It finally gets to the point where all that is left is music, and the game sounds can only be heard when you zoom in very close to the units, and even then they sound distorted or like they are far off in the distance. For the most part though the unit sound effects disappear. Could it be a memory leak or something like that?

After playing about 1 or 2 hours of Conquest matches my sounds starts cutting off, and then fewer and fewer sounds play.

Same issue here: sound cuts out when I open PiP (with sort of a nasty static pop as if you pulled a cable out of a speaker).

I'm playing Galactic War. I saved, restarted the game, loaded back, continued the system I was on and tried it again, exact same thing happened the moment I opened PiP. So I restarted again, and then when I loaded I had lost all progress (over an hour) on my current system! It was as if I hadn't even jumped to it yet. I am not happy :(

Ive just started the game for the first time and no sound is playing whatsoever. The only time the sound works is in the introductory cutscene before the main menu

I have that issue too but i've had it ever since the original PA and in TITANS too. I believe it starts When you have too much stuff that has too be heared at the same time especially when there are too many units shooting at the same Time. Or when all the soud sources change at the same time like when switching the camera (today I had even the music cut out in that situation and my windows showed that Titans puts out lome really loud noise but i heared nothing). I believe it gets worse the longer the match lasts. I would love too see a fix since the issue exists so long.

Ich konnte gerade Feststellen, das mein Sound weg war komplett, als ich den Aktivierbaren zweiten Bildschirm/Kamera Button unten rechts gedrückt hab. Zuvor hatte ich eine Vermutung das es daran liegt, weil ich im Modus "Galaktischer Krieg" ein Spiel zuvor die zweite Kamera/ bzw. den zweiten Bildschirm die ganze zeit an hatte. Dann ist nach und nach der Ton immer Kratziger geworden ab und an war er weg.

Leider Hat nach dem Spiel-Neustart das Problem nicht beseitigt.
Ich hab nur ein Bildschirm angeschlossen an meinem PC!!!
Meiner Meinung nach ist es ein Tolles Future aber wohl nicht ausgereift es könnte das Problem verursachen.-> Man Hovert ja mit der Maus über den zweiten Kleinen Bildschirm und dann wird auch der Ton vom Ort des Geschehens angepasst. Entweder den Hauptbildschirm/Kamera oder dem von dem unten Rechts.

Discussed in the In-Game chat but summarizing here. Some audio programs can cause problems. When troubleshooting issues, start with

which will also have links for OS-specific items.

I made a thread in May about audio issues but no response. https://steamcommunity.com/app/386070/discussions/0/2246678620212294402/

I even got a sound card but that didnt help at all. I think the game has too much going on at once and a lot of the battle sounds mixed with other ambient audio causes a lot of issues.
