no sound
as of the last update to arena (7/07/2022 ), I am losing sound while in a match. when I am at the main screen, the sound is fine. also, the sound is fine for anything else I use on the pc. I am running windows 8.1.

Downloaded patch a few months ago, noticed that there is no more audio in the game(music, sound effects, etc). Restarted program and comp did not resolve issue. Figured that a later patch would fix this but has not.

It's pretty clear nobody on the arena team even playtests the game anymore. They don't care about you.

this happens to me on pc. notably only when a bunch of triggers happen at once, after that the "sound engine" is basicly crashed and the game needs a restart to have any sound effects in game.

same issue on my macbook pro. Bug mostly happens during gameplay when a person cast a spell

The sound of silence / partial silence is 'fun' and 'immersive'...

Surely if you delete ever bit of code that deals with sound and rethink how sound is handled in the client, this will work out?
Again, I'm not being paid to solve your problems. Hire more devs to!

Same problem here. I play a Direct Challenge and atmosphere sound drops out.
Have to log out of MTGA and log back in, to re initiate sound in all parts of the app.
When I play another Direct Challenge, atmosphere sound stops again.Attached my log of incident.

Posting for the first time. Seems that no attention is given to this bug, since its there now for almost 2 months. Its quite frustating to restart every other game.

Gonna post this again on here because this audio bug has been on Arena for a few weeks now. I've seen many posts about it but here is one more. After playing a few games the audio for certain things just go away entirely.

Like nearly 90% of players I´m talking to, I also have this annoying sound bug... A couple of months ago it only appeared after a session of maybe 2hrs. But after the Baldur´s Gate patch, It´s happening within the first match after a restart, maybe after the second match, max!
Since I´m streaming on twitch, it´s twice as annoying, being forced to restart the game every couple minutes.

My in game sounds go off and all I can hear is the arena music, its not as fun to cast a planeswalker or play the game when there are no sounds

Devs + WotC leadership, work together so the client can have audio:

Hello,
During a game I gradually lose the sounds when hitting and casting spells, the background music remains, the longer the game the less there are sounds, when I resume a new game the sounds are present again then gradually disappear again.
I only have this problem in MTG Arena, I don't have this problem in Snowrunner, Farming simulator 2019, Eurotrucks 2 or other games.
thank you for your comeback -

Same problem. Very frustrating. Very negatively affecting my desire to play the game.

Still no sound as of the update today on 07/28/2022, the sound effects cut off at random intervals whether it is a swish in the UI when deckbuilding or sounds during a match like voices and sound effects. Sometimes it is dead silent, sometimes it sounds like the music is echoed like when zoomed into a card when right clicking, sometimes two soundtracks overlap onto eachother, fix your game PLEASE

Sound effects cut out mid game. Very annoying. Plz fix!!!

I am new to MTG and was only introduced to MTG this week and wanted to use Arena both to learn and get better at it using Arena.
This sound bug is very annoying to a degree that I will be rarely playing Arena, maybe even not at all, until it's fixed.
