same here reported on steam

Hey @BearWithTheSaw and @k0872
What does usually happen? Do you start playing and the sound disappear or is it just off from the start?
Thank you so much for your feedbacks, have a great one guys!

it seems random, we did some test as I thought perhaps its a discord issue, stealing focus but even with discord turned off it still happens, every couple of minutes sound disappears for a few seconds , does not seem for all players at the same time but many other players on our servers are reporting this. I am still seeing this in our server logs, which has started happening since the last two patches not seen before that and the audio bug was not seen before that.

it might be related and I have reported this problem months ago devs??

I have the same problem. Been there before then disappeared and now when I try to enjoy this new awesome update I can't even play the game at all - takes a while to get into a game, and then a while to be able to spawn, and after all that sound gets disabled on my entire system 3 times [even after exiting the game sound still wont work], the game won't let me spawn or the server [custom] I join allows for more than 8 people but has only 8 classes to choose from >.>

Sound Disappears TLDR:

Sound suddenly turns off completely.
It happens during play.
All applications are affected.
The problem persists after turning the game off.
Only restarting the computer brings the sound back.
