Workarounds
None Known (Imagine she's whispering you sweet-nothings as the LRMs drop.)

What happened to me few times already is that Betty interrupted talking in the middle of the phrase because of some other sound activated at that moment.

[Bully_Hayes]

It really doesn't come as a big surprise but dear Betty fails to inform me when my UAC5's have jammed ...again !!!

[XionCore]

Betty misses many promps, such as nearly everything heat-related, missile warning, Shutdown and Startup.

Switching targets from one enemy 'Mech to another gets one a "no target selected" audio message.

I have not heard anything from Betty. I have done things on purpose to try to get anything but I get nothing. I tested different volume levels and reset the game.

Shes missing prompts and sounds in general are cutting off. Half the time I do not hear my own JJs (very weird).

[ShaggyMoose]

Lots of sound problems in general:

1. Missing prompts, as per the thread.
2. Constant crackling sound in the background.
3. Very frequent cut-out on all audio effects.
4. Some voice prompts repeated ad-naseum. YES, I KNOW WE ARE CAPPING THEIR BASE!

[Edustaja]

4. Capping sound keeps on going even after one of the teams has been eliminated

[Jeye]

It sounds like the game doesn't have enough sound channels to work with. Alot of sounds are choppy when the action really starts

[Sen]

I've noticed her missing a few here and there. I've also noticed that, depending on the other sounds/action around me, she can become very quiet.

I thought I just needed to turn her up.

[ArmsLikeNoodles]

She is also continuing to repeat the enemy or your base capture after the game has ended with mechs on cap points

The same

[Zaitsev1984]

Same here, she's not able to finish some phrases, I hear cracking in the background, I'm not getting any start up sequence sounds, she tends 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.

Was totally expecting a startup clip

[Foster Bondroff]

Would like to add, that introduction of betty totaly messed up my entire MWO sound.

Had no sound probs till patch hit. Since then i have lagging sounds, interrupted sound, missing sounds. Not exclusive to Betty comments, all sounds are effected.

Tried a few workaround via user.cfg (increasing MaxChannels and MaxSounds) but didn't work. Tried to shut down Betty entirely via user.cfg, didn't work either.

Game experience is now totaly down the the trash can.

Betty definitely cuts in and out on my Logitech g35 headset. I think it does it on my onboard Realtek HD audio card as well, but I don't actually use it for this game.

No popping, she just cuts off in firefights. Further away from the battle she seems to work A-OK.

[IronTech]

How do I shut her off, it is totally disrupting the game?

You can mute her by moving the dialog slider all the way to the left in the options menu.

[IronTech]

Thanks that quiets Betty but the sound is still screwed!
I guess this latest patch was a giant leep backwards for me.
