Partial loss of sound
After playing for a number of hours, I've lost partial sound. Most painfully, I've lost the warning sound when I'm in a vehicle and someone has locked onto me or fired heatseakers at me. I tried lowering my graphics setting and restarted my computer. Are there known fixes?

There's an audio option panel that you can use to re-enable those sounds. Here's a link for the How-To. Here are the main points from the site below.
Your Speaker System (BF3) / Speaker Type (BF4) has 5 possible options…
- War Tapes
- TV
- Hi-Fi
- Home Cinema
- Headphones
A high dynamic range means the loud sounds (e.g. nearby explosions) will be loud, while the quiet sounds (e.g. wind blowing in the trees) will be fairly quiet. A low dynamic range means the loud sounds (nearby explosions) will be loud, and the quiet sounds (wind) will be slightly less loud. Perceived volume is incredibly important for sound localization, so choosing a low-dynamic range option (e.g. War Tapes) will sound loud and impressive, but you will lose a lot of information because all the sounds will be loud at the same time. This makes it seem like a chopper is directly overhead when it is really about 150 meters out. You’ll definitely be able to hear it coming, but you won’t have a clue where it actually is.
I would suggest you select a High Dynamic and reset the audio option for lock-ons and explosives.
