Sound Effects not working after recent patch 2.4.8

Iron_Ryan

Hi!

I just installed the recent patch and now most of the sound effects in the game are gone. Things like light/ heavy attack, running, sprinting, jumping, sword and board abilities etc are no longer working at all. There are only some abilities that have sound. I have logged out and in, travelled to different zones, restarted the game completely, restarted my computer, tried the repair option on the launcher twice and nothing seems to work.

Could someone please help me out with this? I can't find any solutions to this problem for Mac

Thanks!

Thanks, @Iron_Ryan, we're passing this along to the Audio team to investigate. You've tried everything I would have suggested in the meantime. We'll take a look.

JJBoomer

Having the same problems here as well.

Yep, Epona isn't making her clippity-clops any more (I'm also on a Mac). I checked my headphones and everything, but I guess it's the patch. Hopefully it won't be too distracting until fixed...

Oh well. At least ZOS is fixing things. Hopefully the group-finder get's attention soon. I didn't see it mentioned in today's patch notes, but it should be up there on the list.

Mac User here as well and my sound effects of attacks are missing since the patch this morning.

Either this is Mac specific or it could have something to do with me using Poisons on weapons as it doesn't seem to affect everyone.

Same problem. Running, horse running, sword & bow attacks are super quiet or just a static pop. Makes combat extremely hard with no feedback.

Iron_Ryan

Awesome thank you @ZOS_JessicaFolsom!


@Sporvan Yea I think it's a Mac specific issue because my friends on PC are having no problems. Ah well hopefully it'll get fixed sometime soon!

I thought it's only the running sound of the characters and horses, but battle sound is gone too. Weird. ^^

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom

any update if the bug has been identified?

Just to recap, walking/running footsteps have no sound. Mount sounds are gone, not just movement. Only SOME combat sounds are gone. I still have all my SFX with staves and bows, it seems to be combat sounds regarding metal weapons and armor that are gone.

The only time I can hear footsteps or trotting si when moving through water, not sure if that helps at all. I really hope this is being worked on, it does seem to be a mac specific issue. Which is worrisome because usually mac bug are wholly ignored, and playing this game without SFX is not something I want to have "adjust to".

Please keep us updated as far as this bug goes. It's actually making the game harder to play, but not in a fun way.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Update: some animal sounds (deer when killed) are now also missing

Edit: I can also now confirm that this is NOT addon related as I disabled them all, reloaded the game, and SFX were still missing.

I'm having the same issue on a fresh install on my iMac. I have zero add ons installed.

I can concur. My PC is not having this issue, only my iMac.

JJBoomer

Update: I was mistaken, all staff sounds, light and heavy are either missing or extremely quiet/messed up

Nor_the_Fallen

Having same issues.

I haven't seen any updates yet but I'm assuming that it will be fixed next week as a hotfix or something. Hopefully we'll find out soon! Haha yea I understand how you feel, the combat is getting kinda annoying it's like your just swinging at air all the time.

AKSb16_ESO2

Problem not fixed with 2.4.9...

Sporvan

I sincerely hope this gets resolved soon, it's super annoying to play without sounds.

rampoob16_ESO

Why there is no hotfix? please.......

JJBoomer

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom any updates would be appreciated about this bug.

Lord_Draevan

Odd, I get no music in my game. When I go into the sound options, the music bar is greyed out and I can't adjust it.

Blud

Nevermind -- I'm on PC.

JJBoomer

i really hope these rather serious sound problems are being worked on and not just ignored. like this is actually a serious issues when your SFX are broken or straight up gone. I really hope the devs are working on fixing that.

AKSb16_ESO2

Yep. Nearly not playable without sound.

Iron_Ryan

Yea hopefully it will be solved in the next hotfix...

Iron_Ryan

Nevermind haha the sound still isn't working with the new hotfix

artorius_veritas

Yep, I have this problem as well. Seems to be a mac issue. I'm using the late 2015 iMac with 5k screen (also had issues with the launcher but fixed it by changing my resolution to the huge native 5200x2800 or whatever it is).

As @ZOS_GinaBruno has posted in the other thread on the same topic, the fix for the Mac sound problem is already in the current PTS build and will go live with the release of Update 11.

Publius_Scipio

Same issue for me as well. Since a couple of patches ago, missing sound effects while using horse mount.
