I remember reading aaaaages ago, about the forming of a department inside CCP that would focus on audio, and doing a complete rework. Haven't heard from it since though ;/

My one real problem with the sound has to do with missile detonations: they're too loud as it is, and having to deal with 5-6 at once even when OUT OF RANGE is not exactly aural therapy.
This.

Thanks for giving us the great graphics update. But when are the sound effects of eve be given some attention? It's so terrible!
Ok... I'm sure some of you will say "oooh I like the sound in eve... there is nothing wrong with that" but polease! at least the missile launch and explosion sounds they suck big time! I can't abide to hear tremendous explosion sounds for light missiles that don't do me any damage.
I have an idea! You (eve team) don't need to spend a dozen man-years to do anything about it (please don't let me wait another whole year for that).
I just ask you to make that moddable! This will not hurt playability and will not give any advantage (other than purely psichological) to any player who decide to do it.
Please please! Make the sound modable!!!
Technically, you can't hear anything in space, so you don't need awesome sound of guns, explosions and anything else really :?

The only thing wrong with Eve sound is the lag it creates in a larger battle. I wish I could have could sound on.

I would play with sound... but the warp sound is pretty annoying. And the gun sounds. At max zoom, they should get quieter... preferably silent.
So I go with the typical immersion of being in space. No sounds at all for me, no sir! (who cares about your joyful pod imitations of sound, I really dont)

For all those that don't have sound on, would you enable it if the sounds were better?
I'm not a big fan of some of the more obnoxious sounds, but I do enjoy what little good there is. I was really hoping they'd stick some new sounds in with Trinity though. They're definitely way below the graphics quality.
1. I'm trying to hear ppl talk on ts.
2. The warp sound is really annoying.
3. It lags in any sort of large battle.
Its the same reason most people have all effects off.

EVE has sound?
Also, yes I might turn it on if they fixed it up a bit (a lot, actually).
Having missiles and turrets extremely loud even though the sound is on the minimum of what you can actually hear is ********. Selective sound options would be win as well.
EVE plays just fine without sound, though, which is good since you need to turn it off as soon as you do anything PvP related in a group. Not just fleet battles, mind you, but simple "let's go out in frigs and shoot some people" PvP because when your FC is laying out a strategy all you hear is "WARP DRIVE ACTIVE" + extremely loud sound of warping. During fights you might miss who to primary, which can be a problem if it isn't obvious, due to "A MODULE HAS RUN OUT OF CHARGES" and "THE CAPACITOR IS EMPTY".

It's really odd that they haven't bothered to work on sound since 2003 ... It's such an important part of the gaming experience.

Clearly...
everyone knows your supposed to turn off the game sound and make your own sound effects.
It's better if your on teamspeak so you can share errr evevoice or whathamacallitthingy.

Yes i agree, the eve sounds are terrible .
Lasers sound like disturbing child toyguns .
Hybrids sound like whoa look at this, yet there is no effect.
Same with missiles . I only like artilery sounds, and no effect there either .
Sometime before i turned off all the sounds , i just wanted to turn off the music , yes . I lowered down the music but i still could not get rid of other ambient sounds . Hey, i dont want to hear anything else except my clicking and module effect sounds , but there is no way to get rid of ambient sound as it is considered as just 'sound' .
Therefore i completely turn off all the sound .
You can hear the disturbing ambient sounds while you are docked .
And yes, boost amarr . Tired of playing with laser toyguns.

Actually I enabled sound again when trinity was released.
Before I was having issues and now it does not effect my FPS.
Perhaps this is a fix or just a effect of the graphics now relying on the video card instead of the CPU.
The sounds are not that bad and as others have said your would not hear anything outside the ship anyways all you would hear would be things going on in the ship.
Personnally I keep my ships zoomed all the way out so the only thing I here is the wonderful sound of the computer.
Such a lovely voice I could listen to it all day , well at least till she started complaining about my bad driving 
And I like the music as well.
But to each there own.

SOP - Step one: leak new idea for improvement -
Step Two: post said leak on forums
Step Three: Drink beer and order girls rolled in flour
Step Four: Pretend you never said anything about new feature and point to old feature and say look at that isnt that new?
Step Five: Drink half of beer, pour other half in plastic swimming pool, get ordered flour covered girls to make beer battered chicken wings.
Step Six: Turn of eve sound. 150 on 150 fleet battle = audio vomit in ears

Terrible sound is what makes EVE, EVE. It just would not be the same without that insufferably irritating woman spamming your ears with "YOU ARE UNABLE TO WARP BECAUSE YOU ARE WARPSCRAMBLED." True, fleet warfare someone described as 'vomit in the ears' but..... thats never going to change now is it? Nevertheless, lets hope CCP spend the next 80 man years revamping sound, and ignore the important stuff.
If the sound got improved, I'd be in danger of playing an up-to-date and pant wettingingly immersive game. As it stands though, myself, Heston, that woman, and a nice big mug of Yorkshire Tea (for hard water only!) is damn near good enough for me.

It's better than it used to be. Less drop-outs, lower CPU usage but it really needs a content overhaul. Give us status information. No way anyone designs a HUD without using audio to convey information about the ship's systems.

What gets me is the bug that instead of starting deadspace music when activating a gate you get no music at all. Hate that, I love a lot of the music.
Does anyone have a solution for this - it worked fine for me today and after i read this, everytime id click on an acceleration gate it will stop the music :(

Technically you're wrong.
Sound won't cross a vaccuum but if your ship is struck by a missile the vibrations will travel just fine through the hull, to your pod, threw the goo and into your ear. There they will wobble your eardrum and you will hear the impact.
Secondly if you fire a weapon any vibration will also reach your eardrum.
Thirdly the back story indicates that everything we experience is created by the pod computer. All vision and sound is artificial and designed to convey information. It's just a shame that CCP stopped short of linking sound to instrumentation. We should be able to hear our shields failing and hear the difference between weapons fire on our shields and on our armour.

You haven't listened to the sounds for over a year then. They are much improved. As of Trinity hybrids sound like a sodding great canon going off. Lasers sound very menacing.

I'm still not over the shock of hearing that 425mm railguns sound weaker than 250mm railguns.

Me too, even with my new pc!
I upgraded and was looking forward to playing with sound on for a change. tis fun to have while hunting solo.. But BSOD still comes up the sec i get into a fight :(
I don't mind the poor quality of some of the sounds, but i would at least like to have the sounds on while playing with out the BSOD 
If anyone knows how to fix this problem. that would rule

Try with 2 clients active then ... all you will hear is a lot of *****ling and stuttering sounds.

How about instead of putting the idiotic reply of "Eve has sound!?" You either not post or actually post something that is pertainable to the thread and can be discussed intelligently. Yes we ALL know the EVE sound engine has its many issues. YES, we know many play with the sound off due to certain issues. But putting down such posts like that can be considered trolling and is in no way productive to conversation.
I would love an update to the sound engine, they need to fix all the errors and streamline it so it isn't a lag pit. Plus little things like sounds happening when they should and updating some of the poor ones would be much appreciated.

Woah EvE has sound??!!
lol but I turned it off mainly because the effects make my ears bleed, and the music (with the exception of the deadspace tracks which are not even in the fricken jukebox) are horrible considering my taste.
