After installing the new patch, I notice that the status voice "Target Acquired" for example and the weapon sound effects, cut out throughout the game.

I'm using an old SB Audigy 2 card with current drivers but I didn't have the issue until the latest patch.

Not sure what is causing it. Other programs are shut down while playing MWO.

Can confirm this same issue on a newer card by another manufacturer, Asus Xonar Dx. Sounds like their aren't enough audio channels, but I have it set at 8...

This is actually older than the latest patch and was introduced / worsened by the patch before while it was good before. It happens most of the time when many LRMs are started or are flying next to the player, but also happens when there's generally a lot of fighting noise plus bitching betty.

It get's better when bitching betty is muted (dialog volume in the sound options), but while this was a good idea prior to the last patch...I mean c'mon, those new starting animation is not half as cool when the audio is missing.
