Ah so that's what that bug is. I thought it was one of my teammates dicking around.

It's one of the few audio bugs that made it into the game, sorry, hope it doesn't get in the way of your enjoyment of the multiplayer.


NP bro, the sound in this game is great. I do wish the positional audio was better though. I've tried multiple supra-aural headphones and still can't easily differentiate which direction sounds are coming from. Maybe it's just me and my sound system.

Hmm, seems fine to me. I rely heavily on sound to tell me what's happening in MP, my situational awareness would be terrible without it.

Just looked up that term, though, and it seems I use circumaural headphones.

I never knew that was the noise until now - and yes its highly annoying especially since I wear a turtlebeach headset. I hope they can get rid of that noise.

I was aware of the noise - but only mildly. During multiplayer I turn down all the audio options to around 15% in order to hear teammates over mics. That means I still hear the gunfire, but nothing is overwhelming. I had no problem tuning out the hum until some friends pointed it out, now I can't help but hear it.

Good to know they're working on a fix, I've been booted from lobbies as a level 20 because of it.

This- oh god, THIS is the cause? I swear, the first time I heard it I was in the generator level, I thought it was just the generator. Then it just kept
going
and
going
and
going

I never got a moments peace, It hurt my head, made me play badly (due to being damn on edge and anxious over the noise) oh damn, That noise made me mute my volume, and I never do that in a game where you need to hear enemies.

It's not the sound that's the problem.  It's the fact that it loops constantly and can be heard by all the other players even on the other side of the map.  Bioware has already stated they are going to fix it, but it's a month later and still no fix (for any bugs in fact).

thanks... what's the ETA of the patch? QA certification takes about a week or 4 weeks after submission?

I won't play MP any more until this bug is fixed. It's that annoying. Can't believe it's been a month.

I usually frown on thread necromancy, but this thread is an excellent example of when it's totally warranted.

Devs should not make promises at release that have go unfulfilled a month later, and it's totally fair to call them on it when it happens.

No. No you are not. I love that sound. I think we've been conditioned by our enjoyment of the drell adept gameplay to regard it as the sound of win. ^_^

But it would be nice to not annoy other players with it being so continuous and pervasive. So, thank you, Rob Blake! (And anyone else looking into this issue.) I love my drell adept--he's one of my favorite characters--so being able to kick some ass with him without irritating others will be very nice. 

Just don't make it inaudible for me and Vipala or anything. ;)

It is, but you should also bear this in mind.

Bioware folks have said the first patch is already in certification. Hopefully we'll see it soon. And while I haven't seen anything about it, I'd bet it'll contain a reave fix - it doesn't sound like something that would have taken too long to address, if it was already not-bugged until close to release.
