It seems that frigates, capitals or any ship with weapons dont play any firing sounds. the only sounds I hear are the impacts. anyone else have this problem and if so, is there a fix?

I'm having the same issue, along with issues changing the resolution and the DLC not working. I have no idea what they did to this release, but it seems to be quite broken.
Hello,

Just want to bump this topic, for having the same issue.

Unfortunately i cant find any kind of response in this or the official sins forum, that this bug is either well known or that it is something somebody is looking into.

It seems though that the bug only affects autocannons and lasers, as stated in this post: forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/474138/page/1/#3609478

Also i would like to know if it is a common problem with the release or an individual, system specific bug.

I'm afraid the sound issue is affecting all weapon types.

One of the Devs at Ironclad has responded that they are looking into it, so a fix should be coming at some point. Hopefully sooner than later, because this is a pretty awesome patch otherwise.
Has there been an update on the sound issue? Was this ever fixed on GOG's version?

Well I'm only interested in the GOG version. But I don't know if GOG will get a fix for it soon.
So now that the game is on sale... has the sound issue been fixed?

Yeah, we're still waiting on it, and we haven't gotten an update since December. Not sure on what the hold up is; I personally don't care too much about the sound issue, but I do care the Steam and GOG multiplayer is currently segregated which makes it impossible to find a game right now.

(seriously, though, if anyone wants to play give me a PM and we'll set something up)

It's fixed on an opt-in beta build on Steam. Hopefully it gets out to GOG soon.
Has the sound bug been fixed yet?
