Sounds have started to get sketchy for me as well...

I had no sound issues before this patch. Now, post-Betty.. specifically on jump jet sound (from my own mech or someone near me), the various sounds of battle get intermittent and choppy.

Sound popping and cracking has been on going since closed beta.

They should get a ad contract with kellogg's rice krispies. "Ear piercingly good".

Happens for me, but sound seems to be "laggy", like a bad teamspeak connection. Sound and Betty voice are staggering and sometimes unhearable for some reason.

Happens a couple of times, in river city and maybe forest colony, dont know if its related.
Some LRM rain and gunfire, but not enough to "saturate" audio channels like what happened.

That's a pretty new bug for me, never experienced this before last patch.

Same here. It really seems like lag is affecting sound. The sound is choppy, Betty is often cut off in mid message if the message comes through at all.

Same here. I haven't heard any crackling/clipping yet this patch but it feels like BB and the rest of the sounds are vying for the speakers.

I also am receiving a number of choppy and laggy sounds that really cut away from the game
HAd no sound problems until the betty patch. it feels like not all the sounds can play when betty talks.

[Sybreed]

any updates on this problem? Will we see a fix soon?

[Henchman 24]

oddly, I get the audio pop problem in Crysis 2, MW:LL, and this game. I don't play any other cryengine games that I know of.

This problem is figuratively eons old, and I doubt it's PGI's fault, but they do need to find a way to clean up the audio processing of this engine.

yes

I first thought the issue was on my end, I just installed a new sound card and go new headphones. When I got into the game everything sound terrible. All the sounds were muddy and sounded like it was fighting over one channel of audio. The ACs also sound like they have no punch at all. When I load up another game, I have no issues.

Getting this problem intermittently.

There is a difference between turning down the volume of betty and turning her OFF.

Is there a way to turn her off - disable her completely - ie. by user config? i want to see if this restores the sound to the previous patch where there is no stuttering of sounds.

This sounds kind of silly, but I'm so relieved to find out I'm not the only one with sound popping etc. I bought a wireless Logitech USB headset fairly recently, and I was starting to believe that my speakers in my headset were going bad or something

[Zaitsev1984]

Same here, betty is not able to finish some phrases, I hear cracking in the background, I'm not getting any start up sequence sounds, bettytends to repeat some phrases too often, when bases are being captured, for instance, and this is not technical but I don't like her voice that much, I know it's supposed to be a synthetic voice but it's sounds plain, slow and dull to me. I'd like it to go a little faster.

As somebody posted before,

[StandingCow]

Yea, I have been getting the popping sound randomly since early closed beta.

I agree - her voice pacing is a bit on the slow side - I would be curious to compare the pace in MWO versus MW2. It's a difficult job because her voice is iconic and I "grew up" on MW2.

[Gulinborsti]

Same here, seems to get worse.
Very annoying because I already adapted to rely on the BB announcements (I feel finally at home with Betty sharing my cockpit).
Missing something and getting a warning seconds after something critical happenend can be rather confusing ...

[no1337]

same for me

[SubXulu]

I had crackles before taht seemed to be linked to mech footsteps sounds , but they were sporadic and tollerable, but OMG, whatever you guys did in the last patch has utterly ****ed the sound up, now the whoel soundscape has gone choppy and in fights it cuts out entirely it gets so over-loaded.
It was so bad i rebooted my machine thinking i must be pc issue, but no ... its just this game , what ever *cough* 'quality' improvements your devs thought they were making has pretty much ruinned this game for me.

And just to be clear , im running a brand new 4.2ghz i5, 16gm ram, SSD'd games machine on win7, i dont know what you guys test this **** on before you let it through thr door but your QA sucks.

Anyone else getting massive audio stuttering and popping?. It gets so bad I can only hear the first and last word of a voice warning in combat.

It's pretty bad,and makes me have a sad face

Yes, voice clipping, stuttering etc as different sound step on each other. I turned betty way down so shes basically background noise now.

[Dukarriope]

I hear all audio cutting out. Especially noticeable when I try to jump jet in the middle of a fight.
