In fact, it got far, far worse with the release of the beta version of Arma 3 (whether that's coincidence or not, I don't know).
That Windows hotfix really sounded like it might be the right issue, but it hasn't eliminated the problem. As I say, I never hear it when I'm not in Arma III, but that might just be because I only use my headphones then. When this happens, I hear the same Windows sound as when I turn on my printer (the "Device Connect" sound). Admittedly, that's pretty much the only time I use my headphones, too, so maybe that has something to do with it. Also, it never happens at any other time. This computer is less than six months old, so the drivers are generally up to date. (Otherwise, this wouldn't be a problem at all.) It's just that I can't get the sound back in Arma III without exiting the game and starting it back up again. Whatever is causing it, it's just momentary. One time, Teamspeak was also running, but usually it's just Arma III.Īnd Windows sounds still work. And no, I'm not alt-tabbing, or doing anything else but playing Arma III, when this happens. I'll try this, and if it doesn't work, I'll be back. At least, there's a hotfix at Microsoft which sounds like it might apply to my problem:
I might have discovered the solution to this. Post added at 11:01 - Previous post was at 09:53. I'm not using the headphones at other times, though, so only the microphone, not the earpiece, is still set as the default sound device when I'm not in Arma III. I leave my headphones plugged in permanently, so if it were a loose connection, I should hear this other times, too, I'd think. Yet I never hear this any other time, except when I'm playing Arma III. That sounds right, because the Windows sound I hear when this happens is the same one I hear when I turn my printer on or off ("device connect," or maybe "device disconnect"). It may be that you have a loose connection or that an audio device is changing state on/off. The game will lose sound if I plug or unplug any audio cable while in the game.
