I KNOW I'm not the only person who has this problem: but sometimes, when there are a lot of other sounds going on, the beacon sound doesn't play. I don't mean that I simply can't hear it because everything else is too loud, I mean, the sound does not play! My guess is it's being cut off prematurely to make room for other, less-important sounds to play.

This has gotten me killed on many, many occasions, and really wish you guys would fix this... or perhaps even add a "sound channels" option to the game so I can crank that up!

    Its definitely being cut out prematurely, and is something thats been on our radar for about 4 patches now.
    The sound limit has been lessened to prevent 32 bit related crashes.
    We're working on sound priorities for the next patch, however.

    Can we make it so 64-bit systems have a higher sound limit?
