Audio Bug May 2020 Update

[Evox2488]

I have done a bit of testing and it occurs in the firing range too. When you leave the firing range it stops and resets. I think I have identified the exact weapon required for what may be causing this audio bug. I think also why testing this theory I caused the game to crash. Here are my steps for causing this bug to occur:

1. Go into Firing Range or a game as Lifeline

2. Get a few arc stars

3. Just start throwing it at the dummies. I can't seem to identify if getting the hit/kill noise for the dummies affects this, but it may not. 

4. After awhile, maybe a minute or two, you should hear a beeping like noise. 

5. It sounds like static or an electronic beeping. 

I have a 2 min clip on Xbox of me doing the repo and you can hear the audio bug in it as clear as day near the 1 min mark. I will attach it to this comment in hopes that it'll help shed light on it.

It says it is an unsupported file so this is the download link that I sent from my phone to my computer. If you don't trust this link, you can check my Xbox profile page at my most recent video with the caption: Audio Bug.

Happens only when I’m in a match not when I’m in the menus or any other games. I use Astro a50s and they are one month old and this started happening as season 5 started. I thought it was the head phones at first but it comes through my tv and my other pair of astros.

Getting a high pitch static noise constantly on new kings canyon update. Just go to settings and turn down the volumes and you can hear it clearly

[Infernal616]

It does it for me in every match through headset and tv speakers, also experienced it last season

@Infernal616 I hate that you had this last season. It means they're not taking audio issues seriously enough... Ugh.

[Infernal616]

I never experienced it in prior seasons to season 4 (started playing on season 1) and i play on PS4 Pro. It only lasted a day or two last season and went away but now since the beginning of season 4 it happens EVERY game so i deleted and reinstalled the app yesterday but the problem still persists.

It's got to the point now i  booted up a ranked game, heard the static buzzing and immediately closed the app. I bought into the pass day one too but can't play with that intermittent buzzing/beeping anymore.

I'm with you brother. I've been just grinding casual because when the buzzing gets too bad I can quit out. And I also play on ps4 pro. But it does it on xbox too. I've tried uninstalling as well to no avail.

Same on Xbox. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
