Just had it happen in the single player mission "Peebee: A Mysterious Remnant Signal", at the beginning when the observer opens the blocked path.
Can't save in those missions so quit the game and restarted from the beginning which, thankfully, wasn't very long ago.
Tried changing the various sound settings but nothing restarted it. Also tried switching from borderless to fullscreen mode, just in case.

Yup, kinda a known issue, that I and others suspect is related to the Frostbite engine more than the game coding. Since patching of this game has long since stopped, there is less than a 1% chance of this ever being fixed. The only thing we are left to do, is deal with it the best we can. Sad that the potential of this game was wasted and thrown away when they ran away from it after release, but it is what it is. It is a solid game with some annoying issues but can be fun to play when it works the way is should.

Anthem is in an even worse condition that this was left in. Same issues too. Including this one.
The people running BioWare are highly incompetent and it's showing. They'll be gone before the end of the year. Good riddance!

And stil in August 2020. This is terrible. I also tried to install Breakaway as suggested. But it does not change anything.

Nothing is being done about the issue any longer. Only option to get sound is to restart the game. My Batarian Vanguard constantly overloads the sound with all the biotic explosions. Have to restart almost every other match.

November 15,2020, and still same issue. 1st, i had to deal with broken quests that i left unfinished, due to i cannot speak with specific NPC (Astrea) to complete my quest, and now my sound gone in the middle of the quest line.Most broken game i ever played, without doubt. I hope they're not gonna screw Remastered Trilogy too,but wait..RIP old good BioWare..
