Yesterday's patch was apparently an effort to fix the 'fixed' sound issues. For those of you who haven't seen the patch message for October 22 patch... October 22, 2002 3:00 am ------------------------------ ** Patch Information ** - Fixed a number of bugs associated with the new sound system. If you were having troubles yesterday and disabled sound and music, please feel free to give it another try today. - NPC sounds should no longer clip out too fast. - The Sound Realism slider in the Options window is once again working. Turning it all the way off will disable Reverb, as the old /reverb command used to. - Quieted down people's personal sounds (sounds that you hear yourself making) a few notches. - In minor updates throughout yesterday, also addressed a number of spells whose effects were no longer making their usual noises. - Assorted content tweaks. - The EverQuest Team
