No more station audio?

[Fryto]

It’s the first time since the 3.0 update that I’m in inhabited space again, after taking a trip to Sag A and then travelling onto Colonia.

I immediately noticed that when dropping out supercruise at Dove Enigma, there was no greeting from a flight controller. Also after requesting docking, there wasn’t any audio directing me to a landing pad. I thought it might have been a one off issue, but then the same happened when moving onto Jaques Station. Now I’m at my third station here (Talalay Retreat), and again nothing...

I’ve been going in and out of the option menus to find if a certain setting was disabled, but couldn’t find anything. Only the callsign setting, but changing that between commander name and ship id didn’t work. All audio bars are at maximum and unmuted. Not sure what else could be the problem?

You mean the classic music?

That too now you mention it, but what is more annoying is that the station’s flight controllers are no longer talking to me over the radio.

Edit: I was finally able to fix it by going in the options, mute the non-ship voice audio, exit the options, enter again and unmute the same. The difference is huge as I now noticed that basically all audio coming from a station had been gone, including all the ambient sounds while inside.

So all happy now I just wonder what caused it to break...

The classic music is not from station but from your docking computer

OP - I had the same experience while I was in Colonia (several weeks ago). I noticed there was NO communication from stations (as used to hear in Bubble). All I heard was my AI ... but no controllers ..

I don't know if it's intended (like main factions are missing there, thus no controllers ?), or it's just bug ? I tried to switch off every "background" music, then switch ON back again, volume maxed, but still no sound ...

I didn't find what's going on exactly .. but I'd like to know .. now I'm out in "deep black", but I wonder if I can hear sound after I'll return back to Colonia or to Bubble ...

I have never used a docking computer, so I can't say if that was missing too. In any case it was all station related audio that didn't work anymore.

Indeed, that's the exact same problem as I had. It must be a bug that kicks in for whatever reason.
Try changing the Audio Setting (I changed from Boost to Night Mode), mute and unmute the non-ship voice comms, move the volume sliders up and down. Also don't forget to apply each edit and exit to the game again before changing the next setting.

I forgot to mention it was in 2.4 version when I arrived to Colonia and found this "bug?"... I even left Colonia before 3.0 Beyond update came .. Thus, this behaviour (still not sure if it's real bug) has probably nothing to do with new version ... Maybe Colonia's stations never had those controllers sounds ?

They do now for me after fiddling around with these audio settings, so it's definitely a bug I think. Apart from the flight controllers I also didn't have any ambient audio from inside the stations (the buzzing, the guy on the speaker inside a station warning about loitering, etc). That's all back now for me and I'm still in the Colonia region.

Fryto - good to know it's working .. I'll try to fiddle with audio setting after I'll arrive back ... thank for info [up]
