okay, the 50 jump route from jita to bash goes uneventful if you ignore that hum that alot of folk swear gets worse over time. that could be psychological, witness for yourself.
00:00 jita - bash trip
12:15 i test the atmos slider
so far so good. upon rewatching this and listening close, i can tell the bug hasn't triggered yet because as you warp away from the ingate you'll hear the stargate hum/buzz fade quickly away, just before the 'boom' of the warp drive kicking in fully.
22:00 i swear the bug is triggered...
...entering Sasta for some unknown reason. in the next system i test the slider and sure enough it's present in force. it could have been earlier, i'm really not sure. i should really test the atmos slider every system while in warp.
*note: once i get closer to bashakru i changed the atmosphere slider to 100% and leave it there*
40:00 stress testing the buzz bug
at the end of the video i test my workarounds for the damn bug and associated side effects. i show that changing session (like docking or escaping to log in screen) fails to fix the issue, only a hard restart OR toggling audio option off then on to fix the hum/buzz - plus you have to move the ship effects/ambience sliders around a tiny bit to fix those which aren't fixed by the toggle.

when the bug is triggered it not only institutes a hum/buzz of a stargate(?) that it considers a 'deployable' for muting inactive client stuff, but the bug also triggers ship ambience/effects to ignore what you chose the slider's position as and goes 100% blasting those as well. i strongly believe that when the bug is triggered it doesn't build over time - it just ignores all the sliders and goes full monty...i'm pretty sure any claims of "it builds over time" is merely psychological as you start to get more annoyed by the hum/buzz

i did some hardcore spelunking in google and the only time the official forums started getting complaints was around 2012 when Team Klang did their business with the sound stuff and buggered everything up. And to add insult to injury ccp removed most of the advanced sliders because "noone used them"

well, GOOD, i hope they remove the stupid "fleet up" option in agency cuz noone uses that either, ya morons. i tried to help them improve it but it felt like rearranging chairs on the titanic.
