Missing sound effects(1)Category: Technical SupportSeptember-23-2014 2:53 PM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hi. I have weird problem with audio in game.
After some time playing I lose some of audio effects for ex: sound of salvage, gold, and many more. Still can hear monsters, environment etc.
It is happening on 2 diiferent sound cards - onboard and external.
No matter how many audio channels I use.
No matter audio driver version.
System running on Windows 7 64bit.
Only way to fix is to restart game.
Any ideas whats wrong and how to fix that?

sp5it,

You might be inadvertently hitting Control-S which disabled sound, but that should also kill the sound of monsters. Only the music should still be playing unless you also hit Control-M to disable that.
You'd also see a confirmation in the chat log if you make the toggle.

I can't really think of anything else you can change on the fly that resets with a restart.

When you used the external sound card, did you completely disable the on-board one? Are you specifying the sound device in the in-game settings or just have it set to use the Windows default?

sp5it,

Can you post your D3Debug.txt file? It's located in the main Diablo III game folder. Edit out your account name first though as it may appear in a few places in the file.

sp5it,

It shouldn't be that big. Go ahead and delete it, then start up a game, play for a few minutes, then exit and post the new file that was made. If you didn't encounter the problem, I suspect there won't be any entries related to it but it still will show me some info I'd like to see for now.

sp5it ,

Would you be able to use regular speakers off the on-board sound instead of passing it on via SPDIF?

SPDIF Interface (2 — SMSL M2)

Also, I'd suggest for now anyways, setting the number of sound channels in-game to 32.
