It seems problem solved by turning off SBX progfile in SBCommand application
Thank you for sharing your solution here! 
No luck, the problem is still here. You need a horde big enough to hear described effect. Strangely, x-fi card didn’t have this problem.
Same problem here, since the last patch me and friends I play with had the same issues. Characters start to talk with robotic like voices, and many sounds are completely muted, specials included.
What seems to trigger it is the amount of specials spawning at the same time.
Needless to say it can be game breaking especially on Auric levels where they are many waves of those units.
The upcoming patch doesn’t seem to address the missing sound issue. Can we have an update on this, please?
This is in our database and awaiting investigation, I apologise I don’t have anything else to share right now.
Thank you for your reply, Julia.
