Loss of Sound Mid-Game

Around the mid-game point I keep losing parts of my sound.

 

Sometimes its in battles (in the viewer) sometimes its on shipyards/planets and other times its on the main screen when I'm going from screen to screen.

 

I have a couple of save files but cant (for some reason) attach them here.

Yes, I've seen and experienced that same thing myself in my current game. Though I didn't start a new game with the last opt-in update so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

I've been getting it with opt-in and opt out.

 

A fresh restart (of my computer) sometimes cures it for a few turns or so but then it returns.

I was actually shocked the other night as the sound finally came back in the battle viewer after being absent for a long time. Of course it's gone again now. :) Still loving the game and playing the heck out of it though!

Yes, I have this issue, but there's no music whatsoever during play in the game ( cut-scenes are fine), not exactly sure why, but occurred only with update 1.02. Restart didn't help.

Interesting; I nearly always play video games with the sound, especially music, disabled.    Maybe it's an age thing, but if I listen to music for even a short time it may stick in my head for a week and drive me even crazier than I already am.   Sigh, I am missing out on some good stuff, but then, I don't have to get it working either.

I think I can pin down exactly when it started; the stunning and surprising scene in Dragon Age when Leiliana sings her song.  And when It was still in my head many days later I realized I had to let music go in a sense.   Now if somebody just mentions the title of some old favorite it may start up and keep going around the clock. 

I hope you guys get it sorted, sound can be a real sticky issue for those who are allowed to listen.
