The voice chat completely doesn't work.
Sometimes enemy abilities' sounds play in the fog.
For those experiencing FPS Issues:Sound fix not persisting through games:Originally Posted by xanderK
I played two games after downloading the patch for the sound fix and the first game went completely normal. The second game on the other hand, all hero sound effects had stopped working. The UI/creep/tower sound effects still worked and the problem seemed to be solely with hero sound effects, including other players and not just my own hero.
After the game, I restarted HoN and started up a practice game in which all sound effects worked.
Seems like a pretty small glitch and is easily fixed by restarting HoN. Just thought I would bring it to your attention since all bugs are bugs no matter how small or big.
P.S. TY for sound again

Hmm, well alright. I will also take this opportunity to edit your thread and combine it for the FPS-drop issue so people won't post about it.

Look for my highlighted text (important information) and grey text (interesting but not required information).
The game sounds very different from Windows/old Mac sound engine. Seems like a lot of sounds a missing or played with a wrong volume?

Read the other red text that I have not included in the quote.

I can confirm that I've had the sound fix not lasting problem as well. Strangely it seems fairly random, as sometimes it will happen on the second game and other times I have played several games in a row without it occurring. Restarting HoN seems to fix the problem.
I am tiger user, and downloaded the most recent patch. Now my Hon Client won't open. I was just wondering if tiger/leopard/snow leopard got the axe?
Nom sayin?
I haven't done side-by-side comparisons, but the sounds seem to have a cut-off range that is smaller than the camera area compared to the old sound engine. Or the attenuation values of the sounds need to be changed. It's been awhile since I've worked with sound in OpenAL.
On an aside... One of the recent patches killed the dynamic layer on the main menu which was working before (after having not worked since they revamped the UI to include it). This is the layer with the volcano and birds flying around it is no longer there. It is there on the log in screen, but after logging in, it disappears.

Yup, a lot of hero sound effects go away during game, while the rest remain. I was doing SB's frenzy and I didn't hear the whirl sounds but I could hear creeps, announcer, etc.
Also, I'm using turtle beaches and I hear everything. A lot of the sounds are magnified for the left ear for some reason too.
I've been having this happen a lot as well.
Same problem as rest, some hero sounds i do not hear, some i do... Seems almost randomly...
I'll take it.
Sound is glitched to the max after the "sound fix".
No hero unit responses and various other sounds that cannot be heard or are half operational.
Also, I cannot hear any microphone sound from my team anymore and I can't even use my mic (even when pressing the assigned push-to-talk button).
If you read the post in the news section by Xandark then you would know that all mac lion voice chat and music is disabled (apparently including hearing voice chat, which sucks).
Well, i'm still expieriencing fps dropdowns on my Mac / Leopard.
I know..it's an older System but it worked just fine until the "sound fix " patch 2.5.8.
Since then it's happening..FPS drops down for a period of time to 5-8..
So not really playable.
I tried the quick"fix" with typing in the console setlibrarysfml. but it doesnt help that much..
thanks for looking into this :-(
In the announcement, it said other than music and voicechat, everything sound related should work fine.
However there are definitely other sounds not working such as shop sounds (buying/selling items, the sound when you swap an item slot) etc.
So is the Lion version stable so I can upgrade from Snow Leopard again now? Or should I keep the old OS?
Set your "Music Volume" to 0. (all the way down). See if that works. I never did the console thingy.
It's definitely unstable. Keep your Snow Leopard. Your not missing anything yet from Lion besides like Cloud.
OK so like whenever I fully load a game (after heroselect screen etc.) I experience a crash. Upon reloading I can re-enter the game only to experience another crash... Hey at least I got sound working? :/
I preferred having no sound and having voice chat at least.
This is un ****ing believably horrible... back to windows.
