Sound glitch in Evochron Mercenary

Hello, just got the game recently on Steam. Pretty happy with it overall but I've got this bug that, while not game breaking, makes it rather difficult to enjoy playing for any period of time. Whenever I try docking at a spaceport I get this audio stutter that persists until I exit to the main menu of the game. I've also gotten it once after having my ship blown up. It's basically just some mechanical sound that gets stuck in a loop or something. I've tried lowering my graphics settings and all that stuff, but it doesn't seem to help.

The only similar problem I managed to dredge up from my searches was this post on the Steam forums; http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... ?t=2490236

Not sure what the sound could be, although the description makes it seem like a looping thruster effect. What kind of audio device are you using?

Hi Haschel, welcome to the game and forum...Hope to see you out there some time!...

Are you using a Joystick that has a profile editor where you have asigned certain keys to your throtle/stick?
If this is the case the signal from the engaged key presses on the stick or throtle can send a looping sound signal till you disengage that keypress assigned to your Joystick. Could be Thrusters, Shield energy to forward shields....etc...etc....

I think I resolved the issue. Seems like there was a conflict with my default audio device, I reset it to default and I haven't had any issues so far. For reference it is an HT|Omega Striker 7.1.
