[bug] Sparse in-game audio.

Over the past few days, I've noticed that when I log in, I have very... spotty audio.

I get no audio in game for picking up quoins, squeezing chickens, singing to butterflies (which I rarely do), and no background music, except under certain circumstances.

If I take the subway, I can hear the train rolling along with clarity, as well as the triple chime of a stop announcement and the ping-pang of the train leaving station.

I am normally in a region with the folksy music that you would hear in the Groddles, Bortola, and Andra. If I go to the Ancestral Lands, Alakol, Rasana, Ix, or Uralia when I notice this bug, I get a single loop of the music played, but then it too fails. I still have no other sounds then.

For the inquisitive: Music, 100%, Effects, 100%. I play my games with their music, so I leave it on. :)

What makes this very annoying is, I cannot hear DNAja-vu when this happens, either.

I found that emptying my browser cache whether I restart the browser itself or not, then exiting and re-entering the game world will bring back sounds for a few hours -- long enough for me to have logged on and off a few times, then the issue returns.

Am I the only person that is suffering this bug?

If you're having the same issue, could you post a little about your version of Flash, your OS, and which browser and build you're using? Thanks!

  • Having the same problem. If I clear the cache, the sound comes back, but clearing the cache makes starting the game again eat into my download allowance, so it's kind of a nuisance. In order to keep the sound working correctly, I have to clear the cache every single time I leave the game or refresh.

    I don't get the single loop effect. Clear cache-all sound plays fine. Reload the game without clearing cache, I lose music and only get a random sound effect now and again.

  • Not really the same thing, but there's a lot of hiss in the "Highlands" music today--doesn't seem to be anywhere else.
    Also, my local chat stopped making any sound some time ago, so I have no way of knowing if someone's talking to me unless I'm looking right at it.  All the other effects seem to  be fine.
