No Heavy Footsteps?

I very, very rarely hear any footstep sounds from the HAs. I'm not sure if it's certain maps or what, but I've only heard them about three rounds total. When they are there, they're there until the map changes, same with when they aren't. I've always had this problem with 2.0, even after a completely fresh install of NS on a brand new hard drive. The only things I copied over from the old install are config.cfg and autoexec.cfg, but I can't imagine something in one of those causing this.

System:
WinXP Home
Biostar M7NCD Pro mobo
AthlonXP 1700+
512MB PC2100
PNY GeforceFX5800 (128MB) (running at 1280x960, 32-bit, 4xansio 4xfsaa)
Audigy Gamer (running audigy2 drivers) (EAX is enabled)
Running good 'ol standard Half-Life

    I hope it does get fixed. There's nothing more intimidating than just gorging away and suddenly hearing the thump of marines in heavy armour heading your way. Great for atmosphere!

    If I remember this right, I read from bug report forum that those sounds disappear after the level 3 armor upgrade finishes. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Why would it do that?

    If anything it should make them louder! (with all of that extra armor pounding the floor!)

    Yeah, it's a bug. It really gives me an odd feeling when I'm stomping along in HA with level 2 armor when all of a sudden, level 3 armor is done and I'm silent. It's weird, but it's being worked on.
