Sound effects missing/static pop noise.

Hopefully I'm not the only one getting these problems. In dungeons, I've noticed that a lot of sound effects aren't playing. I have a video of me on a boss fight in epic temple of the spider showing what I'm talking about. Also, every now and then my headphones will have a static pop, this only happens while neverwinter is running. It has never happened before and it never happens when Neverwinter is closed. This isn't in the video.

Headphones: Audio-Technica ATH-M50
Sound Card: Asus Xonar DGX
Operating System: Windows 8 x64 Pro

Video in question: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEif_JVOKgw (video is still uploading, I live in Australia so my upload speed is 4th world).

    Bump, video is done uploading. The bug doesn't just happen in that dungeon, it happens in all the dungeons. It doesn't happen outside of the dungeons though. Noise pop can happen anywhere.

    Same headphones, similar issue!

    With my wizard, when using these headphones the sound effects for combat powers don't work (e.g., ray of frost, magic missile, etc.). Teleport sound also doesn't work.

    It's a problem for me in every area however, not just in instances or dungeons.

    I've noticed this issue from time to time. Actually thought something had happened to my headphones, but this issue only happens when running Neverwinter Online. The static pop noise at regular intervals happen just about anywhere in game. Some combat sound effects don't play at all, but it all seems rather random to me which sounds don't play, and when the static pop sounds starts.

    Great to see Cryptic Studios handling this issue with such imprtance....NOT. I'm glad this is a free to play game, I'd be more irritated if I spent money on this and for over a YEAR this issue still has not even been close to getting resolved. You guys should feel shame, but then again I guess if I didnt' give a rats rear about the quality of something, I'd also just brush it aside and not care. Congratulations jerks!

    Wow. There are HUNDREDS of other serious bugs and a couple of effects don't have audio?
    Module 3 is (supposedly) fixing many audio bugs.

    Meanwhile, join the bugs-since-beta waiting list.
