Music/sound bug
 

I've been having this problem off and on for the last couple of months, but since the SvS update it's been pretty constant:

When ever I put out to sea, when I pull back in to port, the sailing music and sfx sounds are still playing while I'm running round the different islands.

Turning the sound off and on does not work. Teleporting does not change anything.

Now, as long as I DO NOT put out to sea, but instead teleport to the different islands, I get the music and SFX sounds for that island.

But the moment I put out to see and then pull back in, I'm stuck with the sailing music and sailing sfx's.

Anyone know the solution to this? Tech support is no help as I've ticketed this problem and got back their standard "try updating your video and audio drivers."

Which I have the most up to date drivers for both my sound and video.

On a related note: my wife has the exact same computer as me. I built both: same motherboard, CPU, memory, and video cards. She does NOT suffer this problem (and yes, we're using the same drivers....).

I'd given up and turned off the music entirely, right around the time the musician appeared in Rosie Mcgreedy's bar. I've noticed random sailing sound effects following me on land - seems completely random - as if perhaps I'm hearing the sound effects one of my guild members should be hearing.

The worst sfx glitch is when the firebrand "charging up" sound starts looping and won't stop, no matter what I do. Logging out doesn't stop it - I have to close pirates.exe all the way with [QUIT] to make it stop. In the meantime, I've gotten used to playing without sounds.

Same here for me. I guess i just block it out instead of turning the sound off. Sometimes it gets annoying. I would guess that lots of people are suffering from the same issues, Andy. I would not think that we are alone in these issues.

Does anyone ticket these issues? I mean I assume that some things do get ticketed, as they do try to fix some bugs with their updates.

I used to play MOUL on Game Tap and we had a ticket system to report bugs, but it seemed we had to urge people all the time to report the bug, as it seemed unless enough people reported it, it got ignored.

I'd hate to turn off the music, as it adds a lot to the game to me, and well, sorry but "He's A Pirate" is one of my favorites and makes my adrenalin shoot up (must have been the 10 years I spent in the Navy.....), wish they played it more during the game and not just during Flag Ship boardings....heheh.

same for me...everythin goes back to how it was....LOL xD

Its interesting in town buying some new boots yet you can clearly hear that your taking cannon fire... RUN FOR THE HILLS!

I always have music turned off. Turned it on to hear the new music at the tavern, but immediately shut it back down again. :)
