My sound has stopped too just now. This is the third time this happened.
I'm playing on PS3.

Clicking sounds, battle sounds, action sounds stops. The background environment sound continues (birds chirping) but after a short while it stops too.

I would like a Dev response please.

Also have this issue. First time today on PS3 as well. Are u guys still having the beta/early access client on your PS3? A possible prob is that might need to be deleted and install the physical copy onto the PS3. After I'm done playing tonight I'm going to log (scared and don't want to because of server full...) and do that. Might be a fix.

Wow... Maybe sqex and psn want me to test it now as my ps3 jus froze so deleted old client and now installing off disc... Hope to god I can login and play this weekend. Dammit...

I had this as well, and posted about it here 2 days ago.
It just happened again to me. Last time I was using duty finder to get into Baycroft, but didn't realize my chocobo companion takes me out of the duty registration. This time when I was signing up for Titan's dungeon, I had my chocobo out and it asked me to put it away before registering. About 30 seconds after I got into a Fate and noticed my sound was gone just like 2 days ago.

For the debs: connection maybe between FATEs, Chocobo companions, and Duty Finder.....?

I thought it was my slow internet speed that was causing the in/out and no sound troubles but if other people that have faster internet speed also have this then square enix has some work to do.

I've had the same issue about three times now and it often happens when I'm in a dungeon. I'm playing on PS3 as well.

Same type of issue happened to me, sound dropped between main menu and character select after removing my headphones from the PC. Tried plugging them back in, but that didn't fix the sound, had to exit and restart. Wouldn't have been a big deal, but I never once was able to even get logged in because the servers were full...

Thread Bump

(((((((( Hello! Can we get an official response?! ))))))))

I don't want to restart the game and get stuck with the infamous error code 1017

I can tell you all from experience that most cases where sound cuts out during any game on ps3 its because the system's cache is full and can no longer process the sound and graphics at the same time. I have seen this and personally experienced this with Skyrim, Borderlands 2, DC Universe Online and several other high end ps3 games. This is normal and is a known issue with the ps3. The only solution is to log off and reboot your ps3. Expect this to happen after about 6-8 hours of non-stop play time on ps3.

If you are playing something else before you start ARR, I would advise you to do a complete system reboot before getting into the game to make sure your cache is clear. This way you will have more play time before your sound cuts out.
