Just wondering if anyone else is having sound issues on the PS4? Certain sounds and music cut out and the only way to get it back for me is to logout and log back on. I can still hear some sounds like footsteps but menu sounds and action sounds seem to cut out and I can't get them back without logging out.
Anyone else having issues with sound on the PS4 lately?
I had issues like this with my PS3 when I changed to an old LCD television for a while.
My PS3 problem was that the login screen had the usual background music, but after logging into the game, sound became mute.
Not sure if footsteps could be heard, cuz I always resetted the PS3.
And sometimes the sound would not come back, even after resetting.
But if I pressed the PS button on the controller, the PS3 menu had sounds working normally...
That's when I imagined that probably this game uses different audio modes on different contexts, and for some reason, the PS3 auto-detect audio mode thingy was not working very well, but sometimes it worked... Maybe my TV had its issues too...
What solved me the problem was disabling "Auto detect" sound configurations on PS3 and manually turning off the non-Dolby Surround 3D whatever options that the old TV didn't support.
I'm not sure if you can do this with PS4 or even if that would solve your problem.
Fortunately my PS4 has had no issues like this so far, but I have not used PS4 on the old crazy TV.
On the PS4 I use an optical cable to my headphones, this problem is very recent like since 2.2 or so, I never encountered it before in FFXIV or any other game I have played on the PS4 so not sure what to say about it really. When I start the game everything work and sounds perfect but after an hour or so sounds start disappearing until all I end up left with is footsteps and a few other ambient sounds.
Actually...that may not be just PlayStation. That just happened to me on PC Monday. I was in Amdapor City, right before Diabolos and then, *pbtt* sound died. Logging out and in fixed it. I thought my sound card died but my music still played in Media Player and YouTube sound worked.
Happened to me few times on PS4, think it happened just when boss battle music was supposed to start in Brayflox. Music wont start and half the sounds are mute since then.
Having this issue as well, 100% starting in Brayflox HM. Filed in a report in the German section and it was accepted as bug. Fingers crossed they look into it. Mayor annoyance. Especially on myth farm runs. "hold on guys I need to relog". Gone for 3-4 minutes, group gone.
