Constant warp sound

I have this since the morning that the warp sound continues even if I'm docked or jumping through a gate or just sit at a position after the warp ended.

Solution for the time being is to disable audio at all and turn it on again, but it's quite confusing to say the least.

I got this also. Happened when i entered warp and opened solar system map for probing. My warp ended but the sound continued untill i logged off.

I disagree!

yah I have also noticed this as well since the patch, from my testing it seems to be if you warp anywhere with the map open it causes the warp sound to stick on.

to fix it just go out and warp somewhere with the map closed, that at least fixed it in my case.

I have a habit of warping everywhere with my map open so yes this is a very annoying bug

Same here. I don't know, but I think it is related with multiple clients running, because I notice it more often when I do ALT+Tab while one of my chars is warping.

This problem is still existent for me, even after 3 patches.

Since Odyssey I am seeing it when I enter warp and then switch to map or if I warp and then alt tab out of the game. Very annoying.

And it's still an issue, even after this many patches.

Every time I alt-tab between my chars while one is in warp, the warp sound then continues regardless whether it jumped/docked/sits immobile, etc.

I'm having the same problem. Usually running 4 accounts so i tend to alt tab alot when jumping. An easy "fix" for this is to go to your audio settings and uncheck the sound box and then enabeling it again.

Another way to avoid it is to tab out before you enter warp. I know it's not really what you'd call a fix but it still beats the constant warping sound.

Ah, this sounds like what I've been hearing too. Thanks for the workaround suggestions.
Are you folks hearing any "pop/crackle" noises as well? It's both on my speakers and headset, so I'm pretty sure it's not an equipment issue, and it only kicks in after a bit of playing.

I'll pay attention more to the map and tab behavior to confirm.

CCP folks - feel free to let me know if this needs to be chased to specific soundcards or the like.

I get this bug too. I can bypass it by disabling then re-enabling sound, but sometimes when I re-enable sound EVE remains completely soundless until I log out of the client then back in again, which is very annoying.

CCP?

I'm having this problem as well. From what I've observed, it appears to happen when you enter warp in the main window (causing the sound to start), but are not in the main window when you come out of warp.
I have yet to have it occur while in a starmap, it occurs for me when I'm alt-tabbed between my main and my alt. I've found it can be prevented by predicting when you expect to drop of out warp so that the sound stops. It can be remedied by cycling the Enable Audio function (turning it off and back on).
Cycling the audio can create another problem though; on this account specifically, the audio will not come back up.

It is really annoying. If you open the Map in Warp, the sound will not end after the warp. Same with ALT+TAB during the warp. The only workaround is to make another warp, but do not open the Map or ALT+TAB RollRoll When you deactivate the sound in the menu and then click on activate, it seems like the sound API crashes. The only solution for this is to exit the game.

I guess this sound comes from the new Sensor Overlay. Something like "Thrrrr, dit, dit, diiiii" Lol

I get this but restarting alone is unreliable sometimes need to restart as many as 10 times before sound comes back - but if I restart via clearing cache it usually starts working again that restart.

The sound issues seem quite bizarre I seem to get new and different bugs with it every day - things that had been working fine before and other sound issues will suddenly change the nature of the problem for no apparent reason.

I'm seeing looping of current sounds. The other day I had the "ominous voice" of the incursion constellation repeating, which at least was a relatively long loop. Just now I had some squeaky thing repeating over and over on like a 3 second loop. Gah!

I've been getting this bug for quite a while. It can happen with any continuous sound, have had it happen with the old loud strip miners. It seems to be caused by entering warp while the game is minimized and a continuous sound is playing, and it's not a new issue. But I'd like to have it fixed please.

Also, there does not seem to be a consensus on which sounds should or shouldn't play while the game is minimized. Some do, some don't.

same here, warp sound, probe sound, and other sounds keep playing if you open the map/ probe window while they play, this makes they play forever until you uncheck the sound box (anoying).

Got this issue too... Got to disable "UI Sound" to get this off. Enabling / DIsabling sound gave me all the time the bug that makes no sound back at all...

Only have this problem since I play on my PC with a Sound Blaster Recon3Di card...
