Posted June 5, 2014 Dear Devs, it seems there is a bug with the ambient sounds on Xanadu, at least in the region of R15-S15 ingame map: No ambient sounds for any players except the owl sound. No wind, no birds, no frogs etc.No problem with same client on other servers, ambient sound checkbox is ticked in sound settings. The same applies to multiple player playing from other geographical locations on different operating systems, I have confirmation from 4 different users.

Posted June 14, 2014 Same here. I'm not getting sound around M8 but when i go a bit north they suddenly reappear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2014 No ambient for us either, was there yesterday, but gone today, we are in the same place as yesterday too, R21. Fleur and Pendragon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2014 None since I came. At P24 on the map. Only an occasional owl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 I don't have ambient sounds too, except the owl and wolf. I have sounds on all other servers. I would like to hear water sounds and bird tweets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 18, 2014 I had the same issue on my boat when I crossed. I had sounds on Deli, but when I crossed over to Xanadu, I no longer had boat creaking sounds. My coastal deed on Xanadu is dead silent except for hoot owls. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2014 Having the same problem at E18, is there any way of fixing this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2014 Confirmed - no boat sounds, no sloshing sounds, no bird sounds on land, no wind sounds. The only sound I get is an occasional owl (I think). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 25, 2014 Hi guys Still no ambient sounds - it is real sad, missing the background sounds much. Location: S 14 on ingame map. Only owl howls sometimes, no wind, no frogs, nothing else... There is also no ship sounds while travelling on Xanadu until I cross to another server thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 29, 2014 I'm also having this issue, noticed today. I thought it was just my sound settings, but the only thing I have turned off is work sounds. I doubt location has anything to do with it, but I live nearly F26, nowhere near anyone else mentioned above. This is a rather significant issue and I think a response is warranted. I won't hold my breath though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 29, 2014 same issue here it seems in S25 now that you mention it also times I don't hear water while i'm sailing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 30, 2014 F26, do not hear birds chirping or wind. Definitely a potential Xanadu issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 30, 2014 Still the only sound is a single lone owl that hoots once in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 30, 2014 Can we get some dev to actually look at this pretty please? Only hearing the *clank* *clank* *clank* of my bricks for hours and no other sound is starting to be boring 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2014 Do we actually have a sound dev we can PM about this? If so what is their name, it is really time to fix this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2014 Well I strongly hope it is easy to fix... Really makes the experience dull... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2014 Still nothing in R21 either... Very boring.... Pendragon and Fleur. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 5, 2014 Had a quick look into this, doesn't look like a quick fix unfortunately. Need some more info from those having the problem: 1. Xanadu only?2. What area on the map?3. Does it work nearby? If so, what area on the map does it work?4. What is the terrain like where it doesn't work, i.e. mostly sand, mostly grass, mostly trees, mostly paved etc.5. What is the terrain like where it does work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 5, 2014 For me: Xanadu only - immediately after crossing from Release. Hasn't worked anywhere in the S/SE in Xanadu for me. Not dependent on terrain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2014 Added to the bug list, please report any area that you do hear ambient sounds, if any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2014 My deed is around M8 and i don't hear any ambient sounds at all (water, steppe, sand, grassland, paved, tundra, whatever)Going a bit north (maybe 200 tiles, not exactly sure) all ambient sound plays normally. I'll try to measure more exactly when i travel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2014 My friend told me she thought the sounds disappeared after they tried fixing the lagging on Xanadu. She thought it may have been turned off to stop lagging. I asked her again she said she hears owls and sometimes a fish jumping but nothing else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very little land has been disturbed.The only working ambient sound is the new owl. The old owls are not there. Edited July 6, 2014 by Audrel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 7, 2014 When you hear the owl, is it ever during the day, or only at night? At night do you ever hear a wolf howl too, or only ever the owl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 7, 2014 Found the bug, should be fixed in next client update (6283 or later).Someone let me know if it isn't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
