Final Bump in hopes of an official word as to whether this is anywhere near the drawing board!
This topic is getting great replies, just not many 
It is on the drawing board. As I recall they are working on it at the moment.
There hasen't been alot of talk about the sound in EVE but I do recall them saying they want to improve the sound as well as the music.

Do want.
Sound is something that players have wanted done for a while, I agree that now that we got awesome ship models we need sound to get looked at. Maybe they'll surprise us in the coming expansion?

Me wants so badly. What's with the Amarr class graphics and Minmatar class sounds? Okay, sound doesn't travel in a vacuum, got that. Anything attached to, striking, or being fired from my hull is definitely going to be able to be heard. Please don't give the excuse that I'm in a pod. Pod is liquid filled and sound will be amplified against it. As the OP said, radio, drones, weapons fire, MWD, AB, EWar and so on. Even the jumpgate impacts on the hull as it flings the ship across the AU's.
C'mon CCP, you folks did such a fan-fraggin'-tastic job on the graphics, hows about a little love for the sound?

Absolutely agree!
What I'd also love is stuff like:
- Voice alert for when you're being fired upon "You/we are under attack." (track down that nice lady who did the original voices?)
- Voice alerts for anything and everything else? Say, for decloaking, completion of a scan, incoming transmission (chat convo invite), how about an "Accessing.." when you're trying to load up some sort of server data like the market? All toggleable, of course!
- Factional music tracks for station interiors and/or sovereignty zones
- Random NPC radio chatter at stargates/stations, or announcement/welcome/travel alerts
Basically, anything that increases atmosphere/immersion would be great. You know, to try and distract us from Spreadsheet Online.

On the few occasions that I turn my sound on it only lasts until I hear a stargate then I turn it right back off again!

In addition i'd love to see this enhancement. You only hear sounds that affect YOU.
I think nothing better captures the helplessness, empytness, harshness of space than watching your corpmate get pummeled and hear nothing. Then suddenly you hear a loud explosion/collision and you immediately realize the enemy has turned their attention onto you! 
I think that scenario really is what brings SciFi lovers to the genre.

OAn a side note, it would be nice to have audible warnings of warp jamming etc. There is no graphic to let you know youve been jammed so, some sort of sound would be helpful to alert you. Even the webber has a sound, a target painter has sound and many others so why not a warp jammer? They do for the ship that's using them but not for the target.
Oh and yes, Eve has sound, you just need to turn it on
I have to wear glasses to play Eve, especially reading the chat channel etc but they hurt my eyes after a while so an audible warning is essential to me. I am not alone here no doubt.

Definately not alone. There's a lot of info crammed into the UI. But FYI. Check out the overview. With Trinity (i think it was), there are not little icons next to ships when they are using EW against you.

Can we get an admin to move this to "Features and Ideas Discussion". That way it will hopefully get more visibility for the devs? :)
Thanks

It's very common for industries such as gaming to hire outside companies to do sound and music. I think this creates at times some lackluster integration of these elements in the gaming experience especially since they are hired during the late development of the game and have to turnover results rather quickly. I'm a sound designer myself and I find frustrating that sound design is foolishly overlooked as an unimportant element. I agree with the suggestions below. They're such obvious recommendations it's strange to me it wasn't implemented with the Trinity graphics update. The graphics update is about further immersing the user into the experience and some intelligent communication design within the audio would have added to that.

CCP clearly donĘt care about sound and in fact have gone backwards with a worse sound engine now then this time last year. We have gone from having hardware sound in Vista to software sound because of CCP. I its not MS fault like people always say as we did have hardware sound in Vista it was CCP who removed it.

with the addition of optional computer voice notifications.
Shields failing, hull breach, proximity alert, things like that with one of those cool female computer voices like the old Mech Warrior games had.
Being able to tweak them on/off or even at a certain % of sheilds, armor, etc would be even better.

I never realized that a company would hire out for the sound work. I'd definately like to see some budget swing to get some better sounds :)
Oh and can we still get this moved off to a more appropriate forum so we can get better exposure for the topic?
Thanks

Get on this CCP
Love the idea of adding more soundfx. Might acutally encourage people to turn on the sound every once and a while. And keep adding more music.

I proudly play with sound on and the music is still good, although I do alternate it with my own playlists here and there. Even just up-sampling the existing sounds to a higher quality would be nice, since every time I fire my Myrm's Ion battery it sounds terrible!

I like to play with the sound on, but the warp effect especially gets tiresome after a while. New and *more* sounds would be extremely cool.

I have to agree, the sound has not been touched all that much as far as I have noticed. All that we have got is a few new (admittedly nice) music tracks, so it would be awsome to get a larger update.
