Sounds on endless repeat - new bug? Looks like ZOS managed to break the game further

GaianSpirit · May 2020

Noticed yesterday in two groups and four different instances, and I've heard the same from several others that, the screech Lokke in vSS does during Beam Phase gets stuck on endless repeat, same with Yolna Cataclysm sound. I even noticed a sound on repeat after killing last boss in Fungal 1 normal (yeah I know lucky rnd).
Strangely enough the endless repeating sounds seems to go away if you go into Audio and turn Masters Volume to 0 and then back up.
Its an annoying bug and if you are doing Lokke Ice HM and get the bug its impossible to hear anyone making calls and it can cause wipes.

Im sure I'm not the only one encountered these issues, and its prob more wide spread than just vSS and nFG1

Let ZOS know below where you've encountered the same repeating sounds.

Any news whether ZOS is aware of this and working on a fix? @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom? It's a really horrific sound. There is a workaround of either reloading UI or going to the CP menu, but both are annoying to do during combat, and the roaring sound can get stuck again, depending on duration of the fight.

All of the dragons do this now, but pressing = to enter the champion points screen for a few seconds cuts it off.

Sadly that does not work on /lute /flute /esraj getting stuck in an endless loop, and it will follow you around even through death! Send help!!

Alt Tab, then back in will stop the Dragon’s scream, until the next scream. Perhaps the others too, though haven’t heard those issues myself. IMO, there should be a skill where you can walk up, take the instrument and break it permanently.

Another game I’ve played had to code in a toggle to mute other players instruments after about a year of the community complaining. I wish ESO had a toggle, that also worked with NPC singing in towns. I like to listen to music when I’m playing and not my music mixed in with a cat constantly singing about moon sugar ...

i vouch this is a real issue. My friend and me just recently yesterday literally experienced sounds that were being looped out of random like i had a sound of a quest being accepted being looped my friend had a different sound looping so i'm assuming it's every sound looping nice improvement plan am i right

Funny that you mention that - I had the same yesterday.
Thought it might be my PC disfunctioning.

I've had an NPCs dialogue follow me around on loop, continual battle music (which didn't stop even when I relogged), /playragnarthered went on and on until I logged off for the night and when I'm deconstructing at crafting tables I'm getting the sound for making something as well (the hammering noise). The battle music one is driving me up the wall tbh.
