With the latest update a few systems have issues with the sound system shutting down without a reason.
Sample logs:
Common behaviour:
S_SOUND_ENABLED = true
before starting.
In game the sound works.
When ending the game the settings.cfg contains
S_SOUND_ENABLED = false
and on next start there is no sound.
no clue yet
[2016-06-24 18:50:43] Error in class 'SourceLWJGL OpenAL'
[2016-06-24 18:50:43] Channel null in method 'stop'
lines 2527+ in "sound gone" logfile
the other two logfiles in the report contain the same lines.
if they are not present in a log the sound is still working on the next start and S_SOUND_ENABLED isnt toggled to false in the settings.cfg
i have the same issue. i have tried re installing fresh and it works for one play cession, then suddenly it stops working. it gives an error that sound fails to initialize, then persists regardless of what i set it to.
Identified the cause:
[2016-06-25 01:03:28] Error in class 'SourceLWJGL OpenAL' [2016-06-25 01:03:28] Channel null in method 'stop'
is common in all logs.
This is exactly the message that triggers the "error handling" and turns off the sound system.
oh sorry I don't have the config files change at all my sound just completely cuts out. i don't understand why. i think my issue is more related to another sound problem.
Issue resolved (for me at-least) in version 0.198.223. Settings.cfg retains "S_SOUND_ENABLED = true" between runs and even PC restarts, both classic and beta launchers.
-QA TEsting-
cant seem to break the general functionality of the sound system anylonger
