sound stops working in full tilt?
 

About 15 minutes into my session today, the FTP tables stop making noises, and I start missing decisions. Anyone else seen/have/heard of this problem?

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

yup, have same prob, yet they act like it is my computer and not them..

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

been having it for months

sometimes it locks up all of the sound on my comp

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

happens once in a while to me too, it's like they want me to lose via timeout

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

Have any of you tried turning sound off? I've always had mine off, & have never had this problem. In other news I didn't think 2+2'ers used sounds/avatars.

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

It's a known problem and been reported here before:

No permanent solution exists yet.

If your sound is off, then how would you know if the sound is working or not?

Sound is pretty important if you multitable. I never play with avatars, though.

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

Recently started having the same problem.

Thought I was the only one.

Very Annoying.

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

I updated a driver and it fixed mine. I forget what it was now and I've gotten a new computer since, but the problem was definitely from the users' computers, even though it was only FT that caused the sounds to mute.

Happens to me also periodically. I generally just restart my computer if I want to turn sound back on..

I feel it would be faster to just restart FT.

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

i have the same thing, restarting FT isn't enough for me, I have to restart the computer cause the sound is locked up. very annoying in the middle of a work day.

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

logging out and back into windows seems to be fastest fix for me, which means restarting all my programs etc. hope someone finds a fix [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

happned to me...happneds to a buddy...just a standard bug

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

all you have to do is play another sound on your computer (like an mp3 from itunes or winamp) what happens is the sounds get backed up i think (especially when multitabling) you can tell because all the sounds play once really loud when you start up an mp3 or something after the ftp sounds go off. pretty annoying though.

yeah that works sometimes for me but sometimes it doesnt. what i do is i load up itunes and play my library in the background, but i turn the preamp on the EQ way down so i cant even hear the music. sound hasnt gone out on me since.

When it happens to me, closing FT and restarting it doesn't help IIRC, I have to reboot.

Playing another sound on the computer gets all other sounds working, but to get Full Tilt sounds back only a reboot works for me.

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

Once you get your sound back you have to close FTP and then go to task manager and end the FTP process. It doesn't close itself most of the time. FTP sound should be fine once you reopen it. Pain in the ass site.

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

Yeah, you're right this does work, but is still hardly worth it. Most of my sessions on Full Tilt are 2-3 hours. Sound is usually gone within the first half hour.

I thought I was the only person who had to do this too tbh. A lot of the time I close it I cant even reopen it unless I close it in the task manager.

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

This happens to me sometimes on Party too.

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

annoying as hell i agree

Re: sound stops working in full tilt?
 

My sound used to cut off after 30 min or so. I found the answer in this thread. I fire up Itunes, and turn its sound all the way down. I did not lose sound tonight. I did get some lag for a few minutes, then the sound kinda freaked out and then was smooth again for the rest of the session. I played about 3 hours tonight without losing sound.

BTW. I did all the driver fixes and direct x reinstallation from the other thread and nothing worked before this.
