New Sound Bug

    My footsteps and 2H weapon sounds disappear randomly, can't replicate. I think it's connected with crashes, had my first crash since about 3 months. In Cyrodiil...

    Also 2H swaping makes the second sword disappear sometimes.

    Sometimes particle effects of 2H sword appear on the ground. 2H seems to be complete mess, in Cyrodiil it bugs out very often when I'm using Critical Rush, I don't reach my target, running with my sword and hands up in the air, can't do anything. Have to go to inventory or try to bash to make it go away, sometimes nothing works, can't replicate it either.

    I'm getting tired of all this garbage, it's layers upon layers of broken things. The problem is that patches introduce more problems instead of patching old ones. So it piles up instead of getting better.

    Stop introducing more bugs on top of old bugs by releasing PVE garbage. It's like having whoe hous messed up after a party and instead of cleaning up you go to the shop to buy new furniture. Tidy up the bottles and puke first, then get new furniture in...

    I log in, no sound efx. If I continue to play over a long while the sounds slowly come back. It's very quiet with just the music for a long time.

    My missing sounds occurred right when I logged in to Cyrodiil and got on my horse. No whistle, no hoof steps, not a sound except for the music playing. Vendors speech worked.

    For me. All NPC voice overs is gone. Same goes for my characters emote voice or ability voice. As an example the noise nightblade makes while performing ambush. Problem started at 1.4 patch.
    Add PvP loot drops for some risk/reward in this game.

    This just happened to me again @ZOS_GinaBruno‌ despite deleting the usersettings.txt file as suggested in support forum.

    I did a video recording of the various working and non-working sound effects that I can upload for you if that would help your team.

    Thanks for the help, everyone. We believe we've pinpointed where the issue lies, but are continuing to test it just to make sure. That said, please do not delete the usersettings.txt file as this is an unnecessary step. Instead, we recommend that you just quit and restart the client until we have a more permanent fix for this.

    I haven't had any sound issues again since I deleted the usersettings.txt though. Still my main reason for doing so was the screen resolution not beeing saved, just showing an empty box in the settings menu. That bug however has returned >.<, doesn't cause any issues though, just annoying.

    One additional detail that might be of importance: When under the effect of the bug, i cannot hear the whistle sound when summoning my horse, but i can hear the same whistle when another player summons his horse next to me.

    Sometimes you gotta pick the low hanging fruit. A new bug introduced by the latest patch is a lot easier to fix than system instability that is difficult to replicate and isolate.

    Okay, so it sounds like (seewhatididthere) this is only happening with sound effects, but not music. If anyone is experiencing otherwise, let us know.

    Since this issue is a little all over the board, could you let us know exactly what you were doing and where you were when your audio disappeared?

    I had the bug twice, once when I loaded to Cyrodiil and the other time when I got a loading screen in Cyrodiil when a keep flipped to become ours.

    The whistle sound that plays when a horse is called has been missing both times.

    That actually sounds like an issue specific to that weapon. Have you written a /bug report?

    This happened to me in Cyrodiil tonight. I could hear others' sound effects (footsteps, spell casting, etc.) but not my own. I force quit the game so that I wouldn't lose my spot in Cyro.

    This happened to me once yesterday in PvE, too.

    Relogging in both situations fixed it for me.

    Hate to break it to you @ZOS_GinaBruno‌ but this still isn't fixed. The sound bug they mentioned they fixed in the patch notes is not the one I'm experiencing.

    It happened to me again this morning. As soon as I noticed it I started recording for a couple of minutes so you could have your sound team check it out. You'll notice my horse makes no sounds yet the horse riding next to me does. Plus I constantly hear the annoying new "lack of resources" sound they replaced the old sound with(which was a good thing).

    I'm uploading this to my youtube now, it should be viewable at the below address in about an hour.

    And it happened again. It seems to happen most often when I log out in cyrodiil and switch to my alts for hirelings and then log back in my main.

    Sounds like you're having different bug than I. Relogging doesn't fix the bug for me, only rebooting the client.

    I can make this bug happen 100% of the time by logging into an alt, then logging onto my main when he is in Cyrodiil.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno‌

    Can we get a confirmation you guys are still looking at this and the bug is not fixed?

    Logging into an ult and then logging into a character who is in cyrodiil will cause this bug 100% of the time.

    This bug also occurred with me tonight. For additional information I was in Cyrodiil and rezzed at a keep. There was no indication prior to the sound stopping (except for the almost unplayable lag).

    I was having sound issues in Cyrodiil last night too. It occurred during battle and I first noticed it while using a bow. The sounds would be delayed or missing altogether. I also noticed it with flying blade when dual wielding. However, my class skills and fighters guild abilities seemed to go off without a hitch.

    This bug still occurs 100% of the time. A 100% reproducible bug is the easiest to fix so why has it gone un-changed for so many months.

    Log into your alts and then log into your main who logged out in cyrodiil and your sound will be broken.
