The sound engine is held together with duct tape basically - the only soundcard I've had any joy at all with the game is my old Creative X-Fi - ever since the patch that "fixed" the initial problems with sound on certain maps the realtek on my gaming PC and laptop both cut out for 2-3 seconds every few minutes which is extremely distracting. I've also tried it with:

Creative SB Z
Xonar D2
G4m1 Dolby dongle (C-Media based)
Old unbranded USB headphone thingy (think its realtek based)

All have varied issues with sound loss or cutting out sometimes partial sometimes completely loss of sound until the next map plus the odd screeching or sound loops - been going on before the latest patch.

I'm using an Asus Xonar DG 5.1 PCI Sound Card fine.
 
So after some testing of the AS VAL I've decided it's great fun, but it's useful range is short and the magazine size of only 20 proves very problematic.
As it is I'm not sure why you'd pick it over a carbine with similar RPM.

So they've finally fixed FOV?

And introduced new bugs - now after 1-2 maps on a weapon with magnifier fitted randomly ADS will have 2x zoom and magnifier will be normal zoom level :( which is not quite what I wanted :|

EDIT: Actually seems its an old glitch just the first time I've had it.

Well, I have sound but its the background music - never noticed it before. I have no gun fire or anything. Just made the game unplayable now for me.

Yep this is exactly what I'm getting. Only in MP. SP is fine.

I've reverted back to the latest official drivers (GTX580) from the betas, deleted the BF4 folder in Documents, tried 32/64 bit and ran a repair, still the same
 
any other nvidia users noticing gpu boost is under-clocking their card since patch?

i lock my fps at 71 and just noticed on SOS that my gpu was only running at 880mhz to 1084mhz in order to maintain 71 fps with ultra texture, high mesh and 4xmsaa. was always at 1250mhz b4 patch.

rest on low or off.

pretty impressive.

mantle must be brilliant then considering.

I've noticed massively better CPU utilisation and I can only guess but it seems the tiled shader stuff is having an impact to, if only they implemented driver commandlists for those on nVidia cards I doubt it would be too far behind mantle.

Yup, not even going to bother with the AS val, PDW's are so pointless when you have carbines.

Sound will come back if you stay on the server till the next round. But I'm giving the game a miss tonight, the sound bug is affecting the way people are playing since most who have it are just camping.
