Everytime I shutdown Stonehearth strange soundloop starts and it can be only stopped by restarting the whole computer.
Specs:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
i7 2600k 4.6Ghz
VTX3D Radeon HD 7970 X-Edition
Asus Xonar DGX 5.1 Soundcard
Possible solutions: 1. Turn off GX-mode (below) and problem should be fixed.
2. I recommend installing these custom UNi-drivers for your Xonar. Remember check “Low DPC Latency” from installation-window and of course after the installation uncheck the GX-tick just in case.
Here you can find some quides for removing old drivers and cleaning registry etc.
I can confirm this bug for version r41 using a similar setup. Also using Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and I also am using an Asus Xonar DGX sound card. Latest UNi Xonar Drivers installed.
I haven’t tried since but GX mode is already disabled for me. One thing that could be causing it for me is that it seems my onboard sound is still enabled and I have to disable it in BIOS.
Warning for Xonar users: it appears if the GX button’s text is white, it is off. If the text on the button is dark, it is on. Holy hell that’s confusing.
Ever since the very first Alpha build, I’ve found that upon exiting the game, my soundcard (An Asus Xonar D2X) just starts blaring out some random feedback/loop noise (like a jackhammer). This persists until I either restart or disable and re-enable my whole soundcard.
It still persists in the latest steam build. Is this a known issue?
I don’t think many people use sound cards so it may not have been reported. I believe a majority of users use the motherboard’s sound chip. Just to be clear when you say sound card you mean connected through a PCIE bus right? Are you on latest drivers? Does this happen with any other game?

I’ve had this problem too some versions ago. I got it fixed by unchecking the GX, but Low DPC UNi-drivers will completely remove the GX-feature and improve drivers overally.
Wow Luukku12! It seems to have worked. I installed the driver, launched Stonehearth, quit, and no annoying sound! So incredible lame of Asus for not fixing this!
