Since getting the Fnix DLC, I have been having sound issues to the point the game is unplaybale now?
First it started with when you are walking/running you would lose the footsteps (no biggie) then would get random tank mumbling drop in, if you went to the source for the noise there would be no tank just its sound?
But now, and it does seem to start when using experimental weapons, the sound starts to distort, (kinda like the old modem dialup noise) then goes in to a continuous bass blast (if you have ever plugged in a subwoofer when on, you know what I mean) until the sound drops completely or comes back after 5 mins to repeat the above?
I first thought it was the headset (doesn’t do it via the monitor speakers) so bought a new pair, but again its still happening and only on GZ ?
I have tried all the sound settings possible and all have the same effect?
Any one else experienced this or resolved it???
Literally no reload sounds or footsteps all the time on series x and Xbox one x

I can confirm machine(s) missing sounds. It has been intermittent mostly, they loose sound for couple of seconds and it comes back.
Today in huge fight. Squad of Apoc Hunters lost their machines sounds totally. Only flamethrower effect and mortal sounds played. (Weapon sounds).
Same here! I bought the game today and i experienced the same issues like “knobitobi” in his video! the sounds didnt even come back after restrating the game nor after rebooting my pc! pls fix that. sadly, i have to stop playing the game…
Platform: PC
Description: After the most recent patch (late feb 2021), sounds often stop playing for a number of actions until the game is restarted. The game keeps playing non-affected sounds as intended, but specifically the following sounds stop playing altogether – walking/movement and reloading sounds. Probably a few less-critical ones too that I might be forgetting here.
Steps To Reproduce: No sure-fire way to reproduce; sometimes it is possible to play for hours without the issue happening. Other times it can happen within 20-30 minutes of gameplay. Sometimes the issue occurs after using fast travel to a safe house, but not always, so this isn’t a guaranteed way to reproduce the issue.
Images / Videos: N/A
Host or Client: Both while hosting and playing as client
Players in your game: Any number (1-4)
Specifications: i7 4790K / nVidia RTX 2070 / 32GB RAM / on-board sound

Yeah got the same problem,but they don´t reappear during session.Happens when i fasttravel to a bunker or church mostly,then the footsteps and reload sounds dissappear.Also with the rival announcements,and i mostly get them al back when closing the game and restart.I got the feeling it´s worse after the new februari update
Host or client : Multiplayer and solo
Specifications : Ps4 pro
In short, there are no reload sounds from what I noticed today. I haven’t played the game in a few months so I don’t know if this is a new or an old issue.

Just want to throw in my hat and say I experience reload audio sound effects disappearing on Xbox Series X after playing co-op for a while. I haven’t played solo much. I haven’t tried to troubleshoot and it may happen to all firearms, but shotgun sticks in my mind the most because loading it is a slow drawn out process. Hope it can be fixed soon. Cheers.

Yesterday I had the worst loss of sound. It appeared when the game crashed just outside of the bunker Vesslan. After the crash the char lost all sounds. I then restarted the game again but to no avail. I restarted my PC and verified the game files in Steam which resulted in no error. Then I restarted the game but the sounds were still missing. I created a secondary char but here also the sounds were completely missing. It seemed that the save was damaged due to the crash.
As a final measure I deinstalled the game, removed the game folder (not the save game folder) and installed the game again. After starting the game all sounds were there again.
This result is very confusing since I thought updates should patch things and don’t leave things as they are. I don’t know what the de-/reinstall routine did different but I got a different, more crisp looking icon on my desktop as well 
I’ll observe whether sounds will get lost in the future or if this problem is “fixed” now.
I am having issues with the audio as well, this started happening 4/19.
PS5
Console says im up to date on latest version of the game. All DLC is downloaded.
Missing reload sounds and footsteps sounds
Missing rival announcement soundeffect
Weapon swapping soundeffect sometimes works
Weapon shooting soundeffect sometimes works
Currently all enemy soundeffects ARE working
+1 since few days on PS5 : no sound when reloading and walking
Eurêka ! I found the origin. It comes when cardiac sound is disable. Where i reactivate cardiac sound and reload the game, all sounds are back. So this is cardiac sound option the problem.
Xb1X and Xbox series x happens on both.
All weapon sounds disappear, sometimes footsteps. Happens random. Only sound there is, is when firing.
Just started fighting. This last time was fighting the one that has a flamethrower.
No screenshots is audio.
Hosting only one in world. I never MP only SP.
This last time was Xbox Series X
Has been happening for quite a while.
You’re not alone when it comes to the audio lost bug. It’s somewhat common issue and has affected many people. Topic about it: Sound / audio get lost / disappear over time (footsteps, reload, etc)
Merged with main topic. A fix for this is in the works.
