I'm sure i heard CoH....

Yet again, my abilities with the search facility fail me (or conspiracy decrees the post has gawn!)

I'm sure i read previously in the technical section that someone had an issue with their sound simply disappearing from the game, in the past, but i couldn't see the post on it...

Anyone know about this?

Windows sounds are fine, i can play music. COH fires up, login, get all the funky loading music, etc, character appears.

I run off, do something, could be zone or turn on a toggle power and things can be fine.

then all of a sudden with no pattern to it, sounds and music will stop.

Everything else is fine, windows is still playing my music (or not, if i've no music playing) if i load something else, such as a flash player with sound in a browser, sound is there. If i reboot / close COH and startup, sound is back again for a random, but short time again.

one thing i HAVE installed recently is a Logitech USB Digital Precision Gaming headset as my sub blew yesterday.

I'm going to uninstall that again, and reboot and see what happens, but i won't be able to tell if there's any sound, unless i directly connect a set of heaphones to the sound card output.. which ill also try.

BUT, i fail to see how EVERYTHING else works with this headset and so does COH to a degree, but then suddenly stops....

update : every so often i hear an enhancement drop noise.... but nothing has dropped at the time i hear it.

I used to have that problem... usually solved it by switching from 3D sound "disabled" to "enabled" and then back to "disabled" again. Ever since I installed my new soundcard, it went away though.

I have had the exact same problem (minus your update) but only once or twice. Had to reboot computer to fix it and I'm sorry - no clue to what happend but I'm pretty sure it was a problem 'inside the game' as there were no problem in the logs at all.

yup - i agree, its definitely inside teh game, as everything else is fine. I'm sure i've had it before too I shall change the 3d sound back to 2d and see what happens

Now thats weird.... it worked, why didn't i think of that before.. thanks!

further update - i can only assume i needed to reset the in game sound, because i'd changed sound sources. Maybe these USB digital precision headphones dont actually work properly in 3D sound, as switching back to 3d sound in game with these new headphones seemed to only play in game music, OR, now add my fire aura sound, but no attack noises.

Either way, ill just play in 2d sound until i can get my sub on my 5.1 replaced.

Thanks again for the information.
