Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Audio/Sound cuts out randomly during gameplay.

I have tried doing searches on Steam for answers to this problem and I found a couple of posts stating that this is supposed to be a bug introduced with the latest patch.

I have played this game for well over 80h. Last time I played was before the latest two companions were added and I never had these issues.

During combat...sound effects sometimes play for abilities and sometimes they do not. One skill, for instance, is the warrior man-at-arms ability that uses a giant fist to slam the mob into the ground. The first half of the animation plays audio(sometimes) and the actual sound that is supposed to play when it actually slams them into the ground does not.

This type of thing happens randomly for ALL abilities. I even have a saved right after the first orc battle at the gates of Cyseal where you end up talking to Arhu. The PC audio dialogue that is supposed to play sometimes does and sometimes does not.

The first time it happened; the first character was heard audibly, but the second character wasn't. I reloaded and NEITHER character was heard.

So, I have a game where it seems like any of the sound can cut out at any time. This is very, VERY aggravating.

Would a dev please respond and help me out here. I would like to play the game again, but I feel I cannot with this problem.

That should be fixed in a future update, but I do not have an ETA.

Thank you for responding. I appreciate it. I hope it gets fixed soon. Great game regardless.

I am also seeing audio issues:
The audio for the man-at-arms skills, Encourage an Inspire, don't work during combat. Also, when mining for ore, the pickaxe sound effect is gone.
