Posted August 14, 2022 For the last week, nearly every time I login, the sound isn't working at all and I have to relog. When it is working, doors are *way* quieter than they were previously. Footsteps randomly work or don't work. Then suddenly I get some background giant rumbling music that can't be controlled by any of the sliders. I had not made any changes to the sound settings, but since the last patch the audio volume for different ingame actions are all jacked up compared to what they were a week ago. If it was only my computer, I could possibly believe the issue is on my end. But my wife has a completely different computer and setup and she is experiencing the same set of issues.

Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Could you post your system specs and your client settings? (Which can be found on WIndows under "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\wurm\configs\CONFIG_NAME\gamesettings.txt") I haven't noticed any issues on Windows 11 with the following game settings (my main audio slider might be muted in the below as I sometimes play with and without sound, whenever I do play with sound I haven't noticed any problems.) I never play with music turned on, though.

Posted August 14, 2022 It seems that footsteps, opening containers and doors are all tied to the same setting. Each of them is very low. Even with footsteps turned on and set to Max, and music turned on and set to 1, the music is blaring and can barely hear footsteps, container, or doors. Any help would be appreciated. I'm a very auditory person and it was like suddenly becoming deaf. Here is my gamesettings.txt, though it is is a different location on my drive since I installed wurm in different location. Have an awesome day!

Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) Yep, if you alt tab a lot the sound with also fail in wurm. Not sure if this is tired to the same issue. like windows interface screen. Also if you minimize the game the sound still plays. most windows when minimized the audio will mute, but wurm do not mute.. Just some things to poke around if a dev starts trouble shooting this sound. Edited August 19, 2022 by gorgian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
