sometimes i lose sound in the left headphone channel while playing
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

this happens to me on some multiplayer servers. and it happens to multiple players, not just me. (not at the same time though). mostly happens when playing in first person view. going into the lobby and respawning solves the problem.

--"also happening in editor missions while playing singleplayer, pausing and resuming fixes"

--"fixed after a game restart but happens and continues to happen whenever i join that specific game mode. (happens even in single player after disconnecting)"

-in king of the hill, everyone noticed the left channel problem. It happened to most of the guys at the same time, and apart from that, there were individual mutes too.

Hello,
it is very hard to determine what is causing you trouble. It could be server side (incorrect scripting, performance or placement of modules).

Please, make sure you have the latest drivers installed. Also, for a start, please upload your rpt file.

You can find it here:

Thank you.

Apparently, this was a problem caused when joined on that specific server and persisted throughout that session of play. (Fixed upon exiting and reopening the game). Now the server has fixed their problem. I think this issue can be closed now.

We had the same problem playing a custom mission combined with ZEUS.
It happened every time when you left a vehicle.
