I've had a brief search for a thread already on this, but I can't find one.

A lot of people recently have been having the issue where your sound freezes like you've just been naded.
The easy way to remedy this without resetting INS is to open the console and put in "snd_restart" (without quotations). This will reset your sound in-game.

If you don't know how to open the console, press esc, open the options menu, click keyboard, then advanced, then make sure "enable console" is ticked. Then press the button next to your "1" key.

Great post man, this happened to me yesterday and I thought it was my headphones you just saved me 19.99 !
 
Yeah, I thought it was my speakers the first time it happened to me. So I asked on chat and someone told me what to do. I think it was an eGO member actually.

Which is the "~" key, not to be confused with the "2" key. =p

Good post, a surprising amount of players don't know about this.

lol, yeah, I was hoping nobody would be stupid enough to make that mistake, but I suppose it's best just to have it out there, just in case.
 
I've bound mine to a key:
bind KEY "snd_restart"

This way I just hit it and then I don't have to open console and type it all up
 
snd_restart, :), oh sait you already got it aha, good job, it does get annoying sometime when i have to constantly fix your sound
 
Well you can also Bind the restart to a key. If you have a key your not using.. say L then in the console you can type

Bind L snd_restart (may or maynot have to use " " around snd_restart eg. Bind L "snd_restart")

then every time your sound gets whacky you can just hit the L key and it'll fix the sound so you dont constantly have to go into the console.

Correct me if I'm Wrong. : )
