Ocassionally in Forza 4 all sound cuts out. The game continues to play but is totally silent once this has happened. If I exit to the dashboard sound is still gone and only a console restart gets it all working again. Its not all the time when playing Forza but it has happened to me a dozen or so times now. I'd suspect a hardware problem but it does only seem to happen in Forza. Any ideas ? Is this an issue anyone else has had?

IT might be a Bug in it the programing of the game. You can contact a Forza Rep at *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, but they may or may not reply.

Hi. I just checked. There seems to be some reports of sound problems in forza.
1. When installed the game on hdd (try to delete the game from hdd)
2. With custom headsets like Turtle Beach (if you have headset connected to tv, then change to tv mode
and look of you hear something)

My main concern is that the system continues to have no sound when quit to dash. If I just boot up another title it will be silent too. Surely they wouldn't leave such a serious bug after a number of patches.

So its doing this after the game has been Quit and your xbox is on the Dash board? That seems weird, is it just that game? Or any other games?

That almost makes it sound like it's some sort of HDCP issue in the HDMI communication link - If you're using HDMI.
Would you try something for me out of curiosity?
Next time you lose sound, unplug the HDMI cable from the console. Give it like 5 seconds, and then plug it back in. Is sound restored?

I'll try that the next time it happens. had a few crashes on forza since this post but not the losing sound thing. I'd say all in its happened 4-5 times. I've only ever lost sound like that in forza and it always is gone u til reboot. I play a good bunch of other stuff too and no issues with them. I'll be interested to try the HDMI cable next to e it goes.

yes...took ages to happen again but unplugging the HDMI and plugging it back in restored sound. so I guess it could be a TV issue... is that what you thought
