No sound when joining server

Whenever I join a server all of my in-game sound turns off. During the "retrieving character information" screen I can hear the sound briefly but then it all goes mute. The entire game is quiet and the only sounds I can hear are the main menu button sounds.

I have tried joining a server with a normal OA mission and the problem appears to be DAYZ oriented.

I have tried reinstalling the game and deleting the Arma 2 folder in my documents, still the same problem arises.

Please help!

Here's a thought - did you try turning the sounds up and down in the DayZ options?

Thanks for suggestion. But yes I have tried it, all sound settings were fine.

This happens when you join a server that has a different version to the one you have. So when I accidentally joined a 1.6.0.1 server but i was running 1.7 there was no sound. This sounds like your issue as I was also confused when I did it, but it might not be, make sure you are running the same version of DayZ as the server you are in.
