Audio issues after latest patch

I noticed yesterday that my audio effects are weird after yesterday's patch install. The following seems to be occurring:

*Audio channels lacking - Seems to be running on a limit amount of audio channels in game as some normal sounds I would expect or experience are now not playing in larger scale battles. I have always ran on a channel count of high with no issues.

*Sounds being clipped off - Some sounds will completely cut out after playing a portion of the normal sound clip, overwritten by another sound coming in

*Audio dialogue levels are off - I had my audio settings set so that dialogues would be slightly louder than the rest of the effects so I could hear it effectively. I can no longer get these levels.

*Some sound effects killing all other effects - For example, when I kill a pack of Crusader pack in an influenced map the death sounds of the monsters completely kills all other sounds.

There has been no other changes to my PC setup or OS configuration beyond the install of the latest patch. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Ive got exactly same issuese since last patch.

Same problem, loot sounds "cuts" killing monsters, it's a problem... monsters sounds are high an gives hearts attacks for moments...

Same
After 3.16.3 the sounds of my filter are on only 1 side of the headphone, sometimes on the left side, sometimes on the right side

Yesterday I checked the integrity of the files and it didn't work, so I uninstalled the game and installed it again and the problem keeps happening =S

3.16.3 Patch Notes

In addition to the internal engine improvements in this patch, this patch contains updates to how audio files are stored, a re-download of shaders, and a few small-importance bug fixes.

I'm having the same problem. I normally run a low volume settings with just item filter alerts and chat alerts. Now every map I'm in is moaning, groaning, and screaming with monsters as they die and no way to turn that volume off.

I have the same problems, I would add that I sometimes hear loud noises of monsters when I have disabled the sound effects
The musics also stop sometimes it's very strange
And the game has some fps problems but it's not the subject

I have the same problem as of today i login and the game updated efter that every map i run sounds pretty wierd like cut off on killing monsters and the item/currency drops they sound only at first and cut the sound.

very bad sound feels wierd almost unplayable.


any help would be appreciated ty

sorry for my english

Yea I have an issue where my chat alert noises aren't going off. I normally play with most other sounds off. Thought it was just me and seems others are having something similar.

Just booted up the game after not playing for the past month and experienced the same as others - only chat alerts and loot filter sound sliders turned up, everything else at 0 - hear ambient monster sounds in the background. Thought I was going crazy at first.

I'm having the same issue.

Item sounds either lag by several seconds (the item hits the ground and then the sound plays much later) or they clip each other, playing only a portion of the sound file. Multiple items dropping simultaneously either make no sound at all or play multiple sounds in one huge, undifferentiated mess.

All my sounds except chat and item filter are disabled. Channel count makes no difference. With reverb enabled I hear monster sounds, despite them being disabled.
