An observation about the 1.12.x "sound bug"

[DeadJohn]

This is about the bug where engines get silenced during flight and don't get heard again until restarting KSP. People have theorized that going into the map view triggers the bug, or that the BetterTimeWarp mod is responsible, but I don't think either one of those are the sole cause.

I have a new, possibly significant, point of data. I used to get the bug a lot. I just built a new PC and haven't encountered the bug a single time after dozens of hours of playing despite similar settings and mods.

Maybe the operating system (Windows 10), audio drivers, motherboard chipset, etc. determine whether a player is vulnerable to the bug.

I used to have that bug but do not have it now.  I totally replaced everything over time and I suspect it was the OS change that made the difference.  Currently on a newer version of win10.

I just noticed that I mistyped the version # in the thread title: it should be "1.12.x". Moderators, please fix it because I don't see a way to edit my own thread title.

You can click "Edit" under the ellipsis in the upper right to edit the post, and the title shows up in an editable field at the top.

Thanks, fixed. I knew about edit but didn't realize the title was editable.
