Can't hear gunshots at random

Recommended Posts

I can't find it mentioned on the official forum nor in the bug tracker so I decided to ask you guys about opinions on the matter before I submit it as a bug.

 

So I have a problem with hearing gunshots and I'm not talking about a situation where the shooter is >500m away from me, but my friend shooting and standing just a couple of meters away. Yesterday he shot a mosin round while standing ~10m to my right and I didn't hear it. I just saw his target spilling blood and dropping down.

 

It also seems to happen at random cause I could hear the next shot loud and clear.

 

So has it been established what is causing this? Are there any fixes I can do on my end to remedy the problem? Is this even considered a bug or do I have some settings wrong? A conflict with TS or some TS pluggin or other possible software?

I have had this happen to me also - on the mod, stand alone and ARMA 3. I think it's a major sound bug that's going to get fixed (there were a number of threads about it on ARMA 3 forums at least, if I remember right).

That's terrible news... The thought of how many times I must have happily walked next to a hot-zone without even knowing it sends a chill down my spine. ;)

We also ran in into the same problem with some people hearing gunshots and others weren't even though we're practically right next to another.

I had this happen once a long time ago. We were at the NWAF when my friend said he heard the reloading sound of someone logging in (I heard nothing) then about 10 seconds later he got shot and I heard nothing. So yeah, that was interesting.

 

We never encountered this bug again since though.

I encounter it about... everyday. I play together with others and when we hear shots it's always:

"I heard a mosin." & "Yeah, I heard it from the docks." & "I heard nothing?" "I didn't hear anything either."

So yah, the bug is there, don't doubt about that. But the development team has hired audio developers or something like that to sort those problems out.

This... Or simply you never registered it again due to not hearing it. I dare claim we fall victim to this bug more often than we know.

Yeah, now that I'm aware of the issue I tend to notice it in every play session if I play with friends.

That's a bit of a relief, although I'm not particularly sure if they are aware of this specific problem. I'm sure they know that sounds are messed up in general but this one may be of different cloth.

I have expierenced this and an even odder variant...

Sometimes when firing an both the M4 and Mousin my friends shots will sound muffeled like they were suppressed. The noise is quoted but a little more high pitched then the normal sound...odd thing is he cannot hear it just me

Happened to me yesterday. Rick was shooting his FNX and murdering the hell out of some guy in an ATC and I didn't even know he'd done anything. I was probably 20 meters away. Happened again when he shot the hangar door to screw around and I thought it was someone with an M4 from a distance. It only seems to happen with the FNX for me, so far.

Just curious, I see the same type of behavior if I am eating or drinking a lot in succession. I might drink 3 sodas, but only 2 of them make sounds. Same with food, it doesn't always create a sound.

Can confirm.. I have had people ask if I have heard a gunshot, to get nothing on my game. It seems to be happening quite frequently on the latest Experimental build atleast.
