[Bug?] Where are the ambient sounds?

August 24, 2010 5:35:26 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I can see in the files that there are a range of different ambient sounds (grasslands, swamps etc) but I haven't heard any in game. I feel this would add a lot to the enjoyment. Are they disabled?

I have the ambient and all other sounds for about 1 to 5 minutes, then nothing but silence. All sounds vanish (for ALL applications) and I need to reboot. Any ideas???

I heard it rain... once. My theory is that the sounds are glitched and go offline after a while.

If you go to audio in options menu the ambient sound is defaulted only to 25% volume, I bumped it up to 75% and heard it raining. No other sounds so far...will we be getting weather effects eventually? Kinda odd looking totally sunny around my kingdom and hear it raining...unless the weather in elemental is like Florida? hehe

I'm assuming we will hear more ambient sound as the kingdom increases. Would love to hear some sound effects coming from the kingdom.

I`ve had the opposite problem. I hear the ambient sounds fine all the time. (Birds chirping, rain, footsteps etc) However, music and other sound effects tend to quit for no apparent reason. Not the first post on this that I`ve seen.  Hopefully, they patch it with the rest of the stuff.

Quick update I hear birds chirping etc. I've got SFX/Ambient set to 75%, music/event set to 50%. Good balance right there. I may actually lower the music down a bit though as it is still overpowering.

One more clarification...for me it's all or nothing. Game starts out with good sounds for anywhere from 1-5 minutes, then absolutely nothing. Plus no sound for any thing else on my PC either...only way to get sound back is to reboot, and then only for another 1-5 minutes. Just have stereo speakers, no sound card.
