Strange sound in 64 bit client

GazettE

The title says it all. Does everyone experience the same thing? its very very very annoying. sometime when u type or press skill button there is annoying strange sound.

The game was playing, without any reason, in sequence, the sounds of: a thunder, a waterfall, a bird. And maybe something else I ignored. I was walking around in Wrotghar.
Then I went back to the old launcher.

I was sneaking around inside a house yesterday to the peaceful sound of a waterfall. Either the sound has some issues on the 64 bit client, or the owner of that house has a serious plumbing issue

@ZOS_GinaBruno I hope you guys knows about this issue. Its very very annoying especially when you do dungeons and there is a lot of sound effect plus the annoying sound plus the battle music and everything mix together and its really really really disturbing.

It happened here and there when I was playing last night. This morning it kept on happening. If you know the movie Event Horizon, the random sounds and static that kept coming reminded me a lot of the sounds from the hell dimension in that movie... It was really starting to get disturbing.

What really got to me was when the sounds and static overlapped and it ended up sounding like howling, screaming, grunting, growling, ripping, rending... All at once...

I used steel tornado on some mobs when testing the 64 bit client until it crashed and I went back to 32 bit. After combat the sound of the steel tornado stayed in the spot and when passing it I could still hear it.

No, there weren't any particular whining noise to the waterfall so it definitely wasn't a templar's house

Thanks guys, we're looking into this now. In the meantime, can you try completely closing your game client and see if you continue to have the issue after logging back in?

Closing and reopening the client doesn't help. 64-bit has odd noises often.

Today i haven't heard much of static white noise, but strange reverb/echo on some npc voices is still there.

I tried and the strange sound is still there.

GarnetFire17

This is legit. was happening for hours yesterday. Also, pig grunted near me, lasted for 20 minutes as I explored Eastmarch until the ui reloaded.

Closing the client fixes all my sound problems, but they reappear once I open it and log back in. Sorry for bad humour, I'll crawl back under the rock now

Only 64 bit

Khaos_Bane

Yes, there are many audio oddities running the 64 bit client. I have heard sounds of static, small game animals far away sound close and VERY LOUD, running water sounds will pop in and sound very close and very loud when water is a considerable distance away. Most of this happened in Orsinium using the 64 bit client though....

GazettE

@ZOS_GinaBruno does the newest hotfix including a fix about this issue?

lohworm

the same here :
glitches, white noises...on 64bits
OK on 32bits

olsborg

Yea wierd sounds, sometimes streak sound changes to a woosh instead of a crackle.

Masstershake

I have had the annoying static sound as well. Along with all other sound seeming much more prominent

Khaos_Bane

@ZOS_GinaBruno For the most part the 64bit client works well. However, the audio issues are so prevalent that it makes me wonder if anyone in house even tested/played the 64 bit client at all. Or maybe @ZOS doesn't use enough hardware/software configurations in testing.

Anyway, it is surprising this wasn't know at release.

Just used a few Makko runes to make some glyphs on the 64-bit client. Instead of saying "Makko" like normal, I get odd sounds. Kinda scratchy.

WalkingLegacy

Sounded like a semi-truck blowing it's horn as it drove past me just a moment ago....


Lots of strange sound issues, and many restarts Gina. Having to restart because of random crashes.

Wow. Which dungeon was that?

JD2013

Also having weird sound on the 64 bit client.

Dark Anchor ambient noise when nowhere near one in Stormhaven
River and water sounds when nowhere near them in the Al'kir desert
Music looping and cutting out and in weirdly when using wayshrine or even entering and exiting inns etc
