Watch This Sounds on Planet Arkadia

Since last VU all sounds have vanished for me, except the first 1-2 minutes after logging in. I was hoping it would be fixed with a patch this week. Any info on this?

 

There is currently maintenance, so we might get lucky and have it fixed today.

 

Just logged in. I heard the ping that is associated with Low Memory message. Nothing else. BOOOOO!
...KikkiJikki just said in chat that sound depends on server. Courageous FB is affected by No Sound.

 

Same for me; I haven't change a thing in my computer Sound settings nor did I changed the Game sound settings... yet no sound.

I am very curious to know what the problem is and how can we fix it.

 

Still the same sound issues for me too. Nothing seems to have changed, then again, was it the plan with the update/maintenance that they would fix it?

 

I'm amazed they cared more about pets instead of fix things.

 

I'd like to think they planned to fix it, but then again, when it comes to EU I've gotten used to dissapointment.

 

Pets and new shiny stuff brings in money. Sound doesn't.

 

I wonder all the while reading about these complaints. Is it the same for everybody, so that client-side configuration issues can be ruled out? Because I don't seem to have that problem. Sounds are there for me as I am used to. All my weapons and things sound familiar, no feedback missing. Before last week's update the music was gone on Ark, then we got it back and that I noticed. And at some point we got nice environmental sounds, birds singing and such. Since today's update I hear a lot more utterances from my pet, they obviously edited that. No change to report on mobs. Cat-like creatures still make rat-like sounds on this planet, and nobody seems to find it weird. Which I find weird. So, everything seems normal. If the devs now have a little problem having to follow up every client's individual feedback?

 

I'm not at Ark but I give a walkthough to areas where sound were enabled/disabled for testing. I went to cyrene before patch and I'm still at work, on cyrene so far sounds are ok.

Areas with sound before patch that I've been:
Quarry, Storm Keep, Aaakas

Areas without sound before patch that I've been:
Machinery plant
Victorious Firebase
Celeste Outpost
Implacable Firebase

 

Just to add to that.....for me
Khorum has sound but Songkra doesn't.

Haven't been to Songkra post patch but Khorum still has sound.

 

It doesn't matter if I go to quarry or any location.
Either the sound happens or there is none, and it could play (or be silent) for seconds, minutes, or hours.
For example: Celeste Harbor dead quiet for ~10min. Then sound kicked in & I was there for another 5min or so then TP'd and the sound was gone after the teleport. Could hear wind, and the whir-humm of teleport pad when near it. I was out wunting (wood cutting & hunting ) about 1/2 hour, hopped in hoverpod and while driving I heard the pod's startup sound sputter on for a second and again a few seconds later.
Except for the wind, it was dead silent for a couple hours after that.

I did a lot of teleporting, so locations don't seem to matter for me.
The teleporter doesn't appear to be the cause of the sound stopping/starting, it's just a coincidence the 1 time yesterday.

I did notice my sound card driver appeared to be doubled listing in the EU sound options...
I don't recall there being 2 of them there before. (ignore this bit it's under the voice settings)

 

For the most part I'm completely without sound except for the first minute or two after logging in. But right now, I used my Sleipnir for the first time since the VU and it brought back sound for a split second (vehicle sounds, getting hit by an otorugi, teleport sounds). Now it's all gone again.

 

Sounds seem to be an EU issue, not only Arkadia, I'm in cyrene and when I go craft instead of usual crafting sound I hear the first sound that happens when you first enter a quad and engines start running.

 

I'm also without sound since a week or more. Annoying. Never have had any problems before and have not change anything in my system.

 

I'm without sounds most of the time on Ark too. I remember hearing the engine sound of my quad on my way to Arkadia after the VU. No sounds planetside beside something that sounds like a wind blowing. From time to time sound kicks in, but it always goes away when I TP or just run around. I also made no changes in my system and changed no settings from before when the sound worked fine.

 

This is more or less the same as my experiences since the last update

 

Arkadia is making me deaf...or think I'm deaf...or going deaf...or imagining that I'm deaf...If I'm imagining it I must be going crazy...ARKADIA IS MAKING ME CRAZY!!

Crazy? I was Crazy once...

But seriously Ark team thanks for the hard work, I know it'll get fixed soon enough.
