CyberGh0st Minmatar Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2010.02.03 20:49:00 - [1] Edited by: CyberGh0st on 03/02/2010 20:48:59 Hello, Following problems are widespread : - Turrets ( Artillery ), Missile launchers and enemy fire sound effects stop working after a few minutes when zoomed in on ship. You can get them back when disabling and re-enabling sound in the ingame menu. Other sound effects like targetting, warping, etc, don't have issues. - When zoomed out to the point where you no longer hear sensor booster and tracking enhancer, the turrets, launchers and enemy fire sound effects keep working, altho if one goes too far away from their ship, you can no longer hear incomming lasers. Thus sensor boosters, tracking enhancers and other modules overwrite turret, launcher and enemy fire sound effects. - When Artillery actually works, or when using Autocannons, after there will be a desync between actually firing guns and the sound effects. Alot of the sound effects get skipped. - When mission specific music is playing ( like when jumping into a mission thru a gate ), all module effects disapear. You can get them back when you start playing the jukebox music again. Targetting and other sound effects keep working. - Occasional crackling/popping noises. - The Jukebox does not work, after playing x amount of songs, it just stops playing. Following will not help : - Updating Bios, Windows, Drivers, etc. - Removing EVE Online including cache and settings. - Completely reinstalling OS - And thus also completely reinstalling EVE - Using Windows XP, Vista or Win 7 - Disabling advanced, non-essential, features for X-FI ( on the creative software or on XP and Win7 ). - Changing ingame settings - Running Windowed and fullscreen mode - Using 1 or 2 clients - Zooming further away from ship : sortoff a workaround - Disabling and re-enabling sound : fix for a few minutes These issues are not client related, but bugs since Apocrypha released. It is time these issues get fixed and an option to disable positional sound is implemented. http://www.mmodata.net Favorite MMO's : DAoC Pre-TOA-NF / SWG Pre-CU-NGE / EVE Online ( Pre-Dust514 ? )

GavinCapacitor	Posted - 2010.02.04 21:31:00 - [3] Support for fixing the sound issues. Some of us actually do have the sound turned on when we play. PS. What the f¡u¡c¡k? Who makes a new interface for something (the jukebox) that broken but doesn't fix it. Why don't repaint my car that doesn't run?
Mara Rinn	Posted - 2010.02.04 21:49:00 - [4] I like playing with sound on, but never when I'm in combat. The sounds don't necessarily work in the first place, and not only does having sound turned on lags the game, it makes the game more likely to crash too (it's a matter of "how soon" rather than "will it"). [Aussie players: join channels ANZAC or AUSSIES]
Jonah Pod	Posted - 2010.02.04 22:00:00 - [5] Supported as it's pretty annoying. I like the sounds (Jukebox off) and it feels pretty random how they come and go :(

Syringe Incura Phalanx Alliance	Posted - 2010.02.05 05:13:00 - [7] There's sound in this game? Besides, I kinda like the cut of your jib, sailor... --------- War isn't the answer. However, the objective isn't to provide answers rather than eliminate the question.

HairySack Hangin	Posted - 2010.02.05 11:55:00 - [10] Eve has sound?? STO, albeit dumbed down severely, runs multiple clients flawlessly with the sound on. I wonder where CCP screwed the pooch on that score.
SupaKudoRio	Posted - 2010.02.05 12:39:00 - [11] "Can haz sound?" dev-blogs please. It. Needs. To. Be. Fixed. New players are choosing not to subscribe because the sound doesn't work properly, it gives a horrible first impression. --------------- 10/10: Where is your God now?

Rixiu	Posted - 2010.02.05 19:32:00 - [15] It's 2010, not 1910! Movies have had sounds for almost 100 years, but it seems (some) games still don't have understand why sound is important.
Wu Jiaqiu Res Ipsa Loquitor	Posted - 2010.02.05 23:42:00 - [16] Supported. I turn the sound off now cause it sounds too choppy, and the station / gate sounds are too loud. I would like to hear eve again

Rosesca	Posted - 2010.02.06 01:37:00 - [20] Absolutely unacceptable sound for a game that looks this nice, and has this many subscribers. Crackly sound with Invulnerability Fields, Missile Launchers missing sounds/playing them at the wrong time...it just needs to be fixed. I can't really get my wife into the game if I explain the sound problems as "well, that's uh...that's just how it is."

Sidrig	Posted - 2010.02.06 03:51:00 - [22] Supported. But if CCP hasn't fixed it by now, I doubt they ever will. My guess is that whoever programmed their sound engine doesn't work there anymore, and they have absolutely no idea how it works. Hence, they cant fix it.

Also regarding this section of the original post: Originally by: CyberGh0st - Finally with the new positional sound "feature", players using ships with long range turrets and launchers do not hear explosions, because they are just too far away when the stuff that was shot explodes. I actually have the opposite problem. I hear all of the explosions of the missiles I fire, regardless of how far away they are, but I can't hear any of my launchers when they actually launch, or missile impacts on my ship. ------------- FV

I hear all of the explosions of the missiles I fire, regardless of how far away they are, but I can't hear any of my launchers when they actually launch, or missile impacts on my ship. That is similar to the first points I mentioned. What I mean with your quote is that we don't hear explosions from ships we have destroyed. Well the fact that you hear exploding your missiles is a bit different. I'll test that out a bit more myself and also make my OP a bit more clear. http://www.mmodata.net Favorite MMO's : DAoC Pre-TOA-NF / SWG Pre-CU-NGE / EVE Online ( Pre-Dust514 ? )
Lord Moss Radar Blip Inc.	Posted - 2010.02.07 22:46:00 - [50] I support this 100%
Srecno Kekec	Posted - 2010.02.08 17:18:00 - [51] While they're fixing the sound engine, they should also add options to turn off specific sounds (they're all generated by pod anyway). i.e. I hate the new shield hardener sound, it's very annoying, and it doesn't really hold any important information. Why can't I tell my pod not to generate that. I'm currently at the point of trying to extract eve res files and replacing that damn shield hum with a silent wav (or whatever format they use). Same for in-station sounds. Also, supported.
Kile Kitmoore	Posted - 2010.02.08 23:21:00 - [52] Sound would be nice.

KOSTAS CALDARIANOS	Posted - 2010.02.09 18:51:00 - [54] I really can't think of another game this popular that has so many sound problems and has remained popular! but out of curiosity, does everyone experience the same problems or only the unlucky few that have certain hardware devices? i'll show my support once more and send this to the top!
Bagehi Association of Commonwealth Enterprises Gentlemen's Club	Posted - 2010.02.09 19:08:00 - [55] Edited by: Bagehi on 09/02/2010 19:11:32 When a patch or expansion promised sound improvements, I turn the sound back on. However, the longest I've played with the sound on is a few weeks. The sound is off currently. This is the ONLY game I have EVER played with the sound off. If CCP is only going to half-ss sound, they're better off ignoring it entirely, as most players just keep it off. That said, sound is a key part of movies and games. There are other things more important, but at some point, I would like to play the game with the sound on. Fix Local

TriIIian	Posted - 2010.02.12 09:46:00 - [61] What is going on CCP, why isnt this problem fixed yet. I just checked how long ago it was when I first had a post with this problem. 13/03/09. Whats the point having nice graphics if the sound sucks. Shield hardeners are to loud, missile sound cuts in and out. And now I have no targeting sound! To leave something for so long just shows how little you care about the Eve community. Just fix it!
Karandar Maxiimis	Posted - 2010.02.13 00:41:00 - [62] I sincerely support this measure. Fix the damned problem already. 3 of my real life friends and corp mates have left the game solely due to the intolerably terrible audio. Everything from onboard, to auzentech to X-fi - it blows for all... I sent in (and so did almost every corp member of ours) in June 2009 a petition ... 1 of 2 times their help simply sucked. I posted about the "go into setup, disable and re-enable your audio - this generally gets it back for a bit for most. Jump an acceleration gate and you must repeat..." Pretty game, but who cares when an invulnerability field will make you want to cut your wrists after 5 minutes of droning. They implemented the "alarm" for 25% shields in response to the fact that half the time if you were doing say market stuff while in space, you may not even notice you are getting hammered by pirates! When my Subscription is done in September, so am I if this isn't fixed. Completely unacceptable for a 6+ year old game. I don't want to see a single tidbit of extra content until this is repaired. "Downgrade" the audio to pre-Apocrypha if need be, but fix it! I am enjoying STO in the mean time and have bought a lifetime sub to it. Not as good all'round as Eve, but the sound works. Kar
Ben Fenix Caldari Empire Luminance Alliance	Posted - 2010.02.13 12:43:00 - [63] OK...EVE EPIC FAILURE #258: developing WOS and Dust 515 instead of fine tune EVE and fix sound engine. Definitely Supported! __________________________________ Space is massive. Humanity is not.

Sokratesz	Posted - 2010.02.13 23:53:00 - [65] Supported. Would also like to add the following: 'If multiple EVE clients are opened, sound will only be played for the FIRST client opened' One of the reasons I have sound turned off usually is that it becomes a mess with multiple accounts and it's too much of a hassle to enable/disable it separately on 3+ accounts. Want to test a supercap on SISI but don't have one?
KOSTAS CALDARIANOS	Posted - 2010.02.14 00:32:00 - [66] So, some updates... I sent a bug report with a description of all the problems most of us are having and in their reply they said that they can't reproduce the problems on their computers. They also said that my driver was old but the last driver that creative made for my model (x-fi fatal1ty) was in July 2009. Anyway, i switched to my onboard card (Realtek HD Audio) installed the latest drivers (22 Jan 2010) and i must say that EVE sounds a bit better. It's not perfect, but definitely an improvement. So if you also have Realtek on the m/b try downloading the new drivers and pray (the latter is the most important one)...
Allen Ramses Typo Corp	Posted - 2010.02.14 01:08:00 - [67] I'm curious as to what version of the Wwise SDK framework is being used. For some reason, EVE can't load vorbis data, so I would imagine it'd be pretty outdated. Wwise has supposedly come a long way in features and quality since 2008. Whether a current framework is being used or not, I'd like CCP to give a rat's ass about the obvious sound issues in this game. ____________ I'd make a forum signature that didn't suck, but I'm restricted by a character limit that does.
CaptainFalcon07	Posted - 2010.02.14 02:44:00 - [68] CCP should be embarrassed that they can't even the fix sound on their game with everything that they're doing. I think its crap that the player base should tolerate this. This problem has gone for too long and needs to end NOW! We need more people demanding Crap Control Productions to fix sounds.

I have tested with 3 different systems and 4 different sound devices, this does not fix the issues. In the end I am using an X-FI music with latest drivers and all advanced features turned off. This works just as good ( read : bad ) as onboard sound or a logitech usb headset ( which is a sound device in itself ). Previously I had all my test hardware described in the OP, but I ran against maximum character limit so removed it in favor of listing more sound issues. Like I said, it is not a client hardware or OS/Driver problem, but a problem with the EVE software.

I totally agree with you there, but having to deal with noob GMs is, unfortunately, part of the process. I can't believe that anyone is unable to reproduce the problems on their systems and that just leads me to one of 2 conclusions. 1. They follow the general line "sell a lot of BS when they ask you for sound problems" or 2. they programmed the sound so that it works only on the specific hardware configuration they use (i asked them to give me a configuration that actually works. Of course no reply there). Anyway, seems that no sound fix is on it's way and i thought i'd give some updates that might or might not help the others.

I welcome your efforts for the cause, and perhaps I should also file another petition and bug report, and keep bugging them until they acknowledge the problem or give me a working spec. I have quite a bit of hardware at my disposal to test, and if they tell me to get some exotic hardware, then I'll go get it and tell the players and CCP about my findings. But I am pretty certain that no one at CCP can give me a computer spec that actually works 99% of the time. http://www.mmodata.net Favorite MMO's : DAoC Pre-TOA-NF / SWG Pre-CU-NGE / EVE Online ( Pre-Dust514 ? )

When it does work, you can still mute or disable it as you see fit ... However, personally I have only experienced this on few occasions, mostly when trying to disabling and re-enabling sound, then all of a sudden I can't hear sounds from one of the clients. Or when I am switching between clients, quitting and restarting them, then sometimes it get's messed up. Either way, it is a bug, but for me personally a minor one, because I don't experience this often, however some players experience this more often. http://www.mmodata.net Favorite MMO's : DAoC Pre-TOA-NF / SWG Pre-CU-NGE

Station ambient sounds while in space, etc. Or my artillery falling silent in the middle of a fight. It's sad, but a very common statement from my friends who play EVE is: "Eve has sound?". Because they play with it off, rather than deal with it. Jack of all trades, master of none.

On the same note though, the new engine is aimed for a more realistic approach. Would it not be so hard to include an option to choose between the two sound schemes?
durazell	Posted - 2010.03.07 23:57:00 - [115] Izen; You mean the option to choose between a sloppy and accurate sound picture :-) Or was it mute since irl space is soundless. Thank you CyberGhost for this detailed post covering most of these non rewarding sound issues. I must say its easy for me to recognize most of these sound bugs you mention during gameplay. Wonder why ccp haven't got the same priority for the sound engine compared to efforts applied to the graphic content. Its a major fail to underestimate sound quality/picture/track, something developers learned back in the late eighties. You can enjoy the radio, but MTV on mute/cracking on & off doesn't rock. Great idea to use CSM for this approach, hope it will shake em up !

I also would like to see scroling out having no effect on sounds, where it pertains to my ship, hearing guns going off or other sounds is part of the experience, dont make proximity to your ship in the view a perameter for sounds. Maybe a few more options also, one i can think of is the shield, armor and hull warnings, i like those but can they be put on a seperate slider each, or at least combine all three on there own slider, turn them down so there not blaring, then you barly here some other stuff as there part of the "world sound level" slider (least i think thats the one), put them on there own slider. So come on CCP, it's time to give us working sound don't ya think.

Not much detail regarding most of these on the patch notes, but stealth fixes are fixes nonetheless. So for me, 2 big issues have been fixed ( not hearing Artillery and Incomming fire ). Still a big issue is still open : not hearing explosions. I just destroyed a slave pen, which had an explosion so big that my whole screen was filled, but could not hear a thing !

While most of the major bugs are ironed out now, the tweaking of the positional sound has to be reviseted. http://www.mmodata.net Favorite MMO's : DAoC Pre-TOA-NF / SWG Pre-CU-NGE

However we can still not hear explosions of destroyed ships or buildings as close as 4000 meters ( maybe even closer ). Therefore the weight of explosions should be increased alot. When I destroy a large building from 70km I still want to hear the explosion, as was the case pre-Apocrypha. Also incomming enemy fire fades away too fast ( when zooming out ), outgoing turret fire on the other hand stays audible long enough ( even when zoomed out quite far ), so that is working well now imho. Today I did The Score/Sansha Nation level 4 using paradise cruise missiles from my CNR. More than 50% of impacts on rats were soundless, when launching missiles it was deadly quiet as well. I guess 1 out of 10, the launching sound appeared. My single hybrid turret however "clicked" every time when fired). Using my laptop with a different soundcard, I still get the same missing sound picture. Cant figure out if its a technical issue or an intended sound nerf aimed at giving a more soft experience. In my world its fail both ways.

Launching missiles works for me currently, I will retest, and try with different missiles and launchers. Hybrids are probably comparable to projectiles in terms of sound coding, so I think all turrets are still fixed for now :p http://www.mmodata.net Favorite MMO's : DAoC Pre-TOA-NF / SWG Pre-CU-NGE
BloodHair	Posted - 2010.08.09 12:31:00 - [169] THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY ANNOYING IN JUKEBOX. EVE should save jukebox status for each client separately. Lets say you have 2 accounts. The first one should play EVE music. The second should not. If you log in and log out of the first account, it doesn't matter what was the config for the second account; when you log in to the second account, music will be played. Because the last active account was playing music. Thats a kind of bug, or lack of feature.

I assume you run the 2 accounts from the same installation, if you make seperate copies of the game for each account, you should not experience this problem. Of course if you run a great number of accounts ( like 5+ ) this could become an issue with patching and harddisk space ( you need to path each copy seperatly ). http://www.mmodata.net Favorite MMO's : DAoC Pre-TOA-NF / SWG Pre-CU-NGE
