I also have an XFI Titanium sound card.

...mmm... I think my system's pretty powerful (besides the slowly ageing graphic cards)... but the sound problems are pretty much 'random' still...

I may try without the tree's at some point and see how it goes...

Just for extra info, i love my eye candy and have everything maxed, but with tress off once you are above 1,000ft you really can't tell the difference. Considering i tend to fly at 10,000ft plus this workaround it well worth it.

(i didn't know about the AI voice method as well, gonna try that with trees on and see which is best)

Ive had the voices off for months(they are just awful) and i was getting the sound bug.
Only thing that works for me is trees off, low didn't work.

But i disagree Tommy, its UGLY with out the trees.

there is one solution to fix the bug until the game runs: Put the F2 button very fast and few times (or another viewbutton). After a while the sound comes back! It´s tested you can believe me!

Not if you play on "no outside view" servers, but thanks.

Strangely Low has been working for me but could be my Video Card as some guys think its video memory related and I've got 1.28Gb (RAM is 6Gb). I'm also only running 1680x1050.

I think the trees themselves are ugly. (They're also pointless as there's no crash detection but I don't want to push the thread Off Topic.)

What I think is On Topic is to vote for the entire trees concept to be changed in Insubers 'Priority Bugs....' thread:

I'm trying not to spam all threads with this but I think it fits here.

Went online to actually fly for the first time in months (i only had short test runs a couple of patches ago) along with a buddy.

I joined Syndicate, turned off voice, music and set trees to very low (i had them on low anyway).

I can confirm that after 3 sorties of about 1 hour each (more than three hours of flying) i didn't get the sound bug at all, despite running things like skype in the background which further stressed my meager 3GB of RAM to the limit. Sounds were there for the duration of my multiplayer sessions.

Yeah I agree. I guess I've been pretty lucky
