sound bug?

[Steve]

I am hearing noises in the background of the game, i tried restarting, but it comes back, i think it happens when i activate skill and the noise starts. The main game sound is low and there is a muffled sound in the background

[Steve]

ok ye it happens after i come back from FFYL, the background noise stays throughout the game and muffles the sound of the game. If anyone know how to fix this before i completely uninstall the game and reinstall, please let me know

I'm looking into this myself, it's happening to me during big fights. Didn't enter FFYL but after a bit of fighting a wind like or static sound constantly. I noticed other sounds would not play once this issue starts; chest open sounds and the speakers from those COV radio towers go silent. problem clears up on map change.

its very annoying, i can't play to be honest, it sounds like i am playing underwater

For me, some of the new Mayhem modifiers are causing the issue. The Boundary Issues one does it, it's the one where a beam of elemental damage comes out from the enemies and damages you. I think maybe the Drone Ranger with the healing drones caused it as well. Try rerolling if you see those, esp the boundary issues one that was consistent for me.

Same issue for me, the sound cuts out on enemies and guns etc except for a few sound effects my character makes and I am getting loud background noise from various sources. This all happens around every 10-15 mins. It just keeps coming back regardless of restarts or fast travels.
It's a bit too frustrating to be playable for me at the moment. I can't hear enemies at all and can't clear even one section without it happening.
I saw this had been a similar issue with Eden 6 in the past, but now it seems it is happening intermittently everywhere. There was audio related stuff in the patch today, that is what I have been assuming is the cause.

[Steve]

That sucks , I wonder if reinstalling the game will do it .

[LoKo]

Same here ... headache

[Qbertos]

Yeah, had it happen to me in the Eden 6 Floodmoor Basin fight last night. It was like the game ran out of 'bandwidth' with all the enemies spawning and multiple splash effects going, some of the sounds could no longer play...but as the fight wound down, the sounds slowly came back. I did not loose all sounds, just most of my weapon fire, slide and as other said, there was a constant and loud sound playing in the background that was hard to find the source for. The rest of the night was fine, just that area for me.

[Steve]

so here is what i did, not sure if its fixed, but it doesn't bother me anymore. I just went to the audio settings and reset to default and set my sound mode to my headset name which is logitech G . Try that and please let me know

I have noticed some sound glitches using certain guns that were not present pre-latest patch. You should really report this on Gearbox's forums as the devs do read threads and post every now and then.

I can 100% confirm "Boundary Issues" does this for me - every time I get into a fight with that modifier it happens.

Additionally, I've noticed that there's all kinds of weird overlapping, glitchy sounding audio since this patch (especially during fights with lots of different sounds playing), mostly sharp directionless sound effects with no modulation that cut-out and replay while overlapping other directionless sound effects. (Usually when Cartel are spawning while several Anointed are already running around with Zealots shooting chemical rockets everywhere and all that, all happening at once.)

I wasn't using the Boundary Issues modifier, I saw they have deactivated it for now as a fix for that one.
I have turned off the shock Nova one which has worked so far.

Scratch that it is still buggered. Oh well guess I am shelving it.
What a disappointment this game is.

try my suggestion of resetting the sound options to default, it doesn't both me as much anymore, but i do understand. Good luck

[Bushranger Ben]

Thanks mate I gave your suggestion a try, no luck though.
I am going to try and change some of the Mayhem modifiers today. Pretty sure the healbots are causing sound issues also, they leave a loud static noise even after they are gone. Maybe they are what is causing it for me.
