ive just built a new pc and ive noticed that the games "sound effects" are relativity non-existent. (played on old pc with sound off)
music gate jumping are all fine, cyno jumping is in fact incredibly loud!
how ever no matter how much i play with sound settings i cant seem to hear any turret or drone sounds at all, i also cannot hear ships when they explode either.

have i missed something?
why are cyno effects deafening and combat sounds are so low that i really have to concentrate when fully zoomed, even things like pulse lasers. i remember them being very distinctive once apon a time.
when zoomed out to a reasonable distance i cant hear anything at all.
what is the deal?

Falloff range for certain sound effects (namely, turrets and launchers) have been fubar'ed since Inferno 1.0. I have to zoom in almost all the way just to be able to tell from sound alone the difference between large blasters and large rails. It's been brought up, but still no word on any progress fixing it (among other things, hint hint).

Fully zoomed in on my hybrids and all I get is a faint wimper. I can't hear anything from my drones. Very underwhelming. Ugh

ah ok, well atleast its an eve side issue, thanks for the reply


bring back ship explosions!
i want to hear things pop!

ccp how well do you think BF3 would be received if the guns made no sound and exploding vehicles were just a puff of light?
