I know the title is not really that informative or direct, but I have no idea how to describe this problem in just a few words.
First of all, my specs:
Asus P8P67 Rev 3.1
Intel i5 2500k @4GHz
EVGA GTX 570
8GB Corsair XMS3
Audio is onboard.
RealtekĀ® ALC 892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
ver 6.0.1.6235 [02.11.2010]
24 Bit, 48000 Hz
Audio ingame settings:
Sound Quality: Highest Quality
Mixing Buffer Size: Lowest Latency (the problem occured on both ‘Lowest Latency’ and ‘Most Stable’)
The problem itself:
The problem itself is pretty much explained in the title, all sounds disappear, all that remains is a loud background noise. I sadly do not know what is causing it, my guess would be since it only happend in very crowded places (two times fighting Tequatl the Sunless and one time just now fighting Claw of Jormag) that too many sound samples are played at once and that it somehow causes that problem.
Only way to stop the problem at the moment is to restart the game, otherwise the noise will just continue to loop in the background.
