No sound effects for spell casting/hit?

I've been playing the game for a couple of days and I've noticed that when I cast spells (and when the spells hit their target), there is absolute silence. I don't hear any kind of sound effects for any of this, just the background music.

Is this normal? It seems very odd.

Thanks.

try checking your audio settings, maybe one of them is at 0 and you might not even know.

i think its esc > interface settings > audio (not 100% sure if this is the correct pathing)

IIRC, there should be a few settings: music, interface and something else i forget.

try adjusting one of those, see if that works. and of course just adjust to your liking.

It's not that. Everything is at 100.

I don't know if it's worth mentioning, but when I cast a buff on myself like Briar Shield, I hear the sound effects. But casting attack spells like Rising Ride or Earth Arrow, there is silence.

Edit: Oh no, I misread "report" as "reply" and I reported your post! Sorry! I hope it can be ignored or canceled! I don't see how to do it.

this might be displaying my nubness, as well as the fact i always play RoM with no sound, but do earth arrow and rising tide even have sound effects? can anybody confirm?

just thinking, if the spells themselves don't have sound effects, that might explain your problem.

my r/p can outdps r/m. your name is stupid.

mages should stack dex. word.

That certainly would explain it, but I can't imagine they don't have any sound effects at all. Even the contact made against the target when the spell hits is silent.

I can make two suggestions:

1. Increase the volume level for your speakers.

2. Update your audio drivers.

Considering that I can hear other things, I doubt these will work, but anything is worth a try.

I have a similar problem. At first when I open the client, my sound works fine. However after about 30 minutes to an hour, my sound slowly, sound effect by sound effect, drops off. I've tried changing all of the audio settings both on RoM and on my computer but the only thing that works is closing the client and opening a new one. Might have to start playing without sound

yeah, i have the same issue and it sucks! i like the sound effects in this game, and most of the time its very beneficial such as in siege. For me just visually seeing something and not hearing the corresponding sound that goes with it bothers me

For me it mostly happens in certain areas

anywhere with water/ocean sounds. It just overrides everything else for some reason. A lot of Tergothen Bay is a huge culpit
Dalanis and Fireboot
Sometimes in Silverfall when there is too many people around goblin games.

Wish i knew what causes it
