OK this is a bug that I have been able to reproduce accurately. Whenever I change a setting in the graphics menu UI the game mutes all sounds and I have to go to the audio tab and tick all the bars back on and up.

The way sound is handled is seriously irritating but that is also true in the Java client. I guess you are running Windows. E.g., if you change sound output target while running Rs (between loudspeakers and headphones or bluetooth-connected speakers for example) the Rs sound simply dies. That has always been the case in the browser-run game and may have something to do with the browser - but other games sorted this particular issue out several years ago and I had expected it to be sorted with the NXT client. The probability of losing sound also seems to depend on whether you have the music volume at or different from, zero.

I have found that the best way to get Rs sound is to enable some other sound source, e.g. Foobar and play something at low volume, then start Rs. This mostly works although you sometimes needs to temporarily enable Rs music to get it to work. The audio side of Rs never worked very well at all, certainly not with Windows.

Difficulty with NXT: Linux 14.04lts using OpenGl, have updated all hardware drivers (Gpu Intel 4600 integrated), compilers (all c++ and equivalent) and libraries (shaders and hd accellerators as well) to match current release. All ends the same as when I first downloaded NXT (which I've done twice now having removed the jagex folder to ensure total replacement) The client starts, I can log in, I can move around and interact with objects, but I cannot see anything in the main game window other than the cursor. And in the minimap, I can only see outlines of buildings, dots marking pc's npc's and such but now graphic detail. I cannot see icons from bank items (though I can see the amounts) nor can I see any graphic detail of my examine thought I can see all graphics that are buttons. When I log out and back in quickly, I seem to see a faint image for an instant then all fades to a solid colour (have a decent visual memory, so it may be my mind playing tricks on me wanting the thing to work). The solid colour changes as I move from location to location. Is it possible the shader is being applied as a solid overlay? Are there other specific drivers, compilers or libraries that I should look at? I do love what others have been able to accomplish with NXT, and hope all works for the best. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. Oh! The audio works quite beautifully for me (all that I've come across while trying to interact blindly within the world of RuneScape).

Additional note: I continuously monitor my hardware. With NXT running, the CPU and GPU both work as though they are rendering imagery, and behave accordingly when I increase or decrease in-game graphic settings via thermal output and usage monitors. The download process seems to have filled the jagex folder to about 8.2Gb and then reduced network load as though everything necessary has been downloaded. All in game windows and tabs seem to be there and available, just not able to see detail in main window, mini-map, person examine and bank item icons.

I would like to try the NXT beta but no matter how many times I log out and back in and on different browsers, it still says I'm not eligible. I have gold premiere, anyone else experiencing this? Please, I would like to get what I paid for.

Here's a nice light non-technical question.

When I bring a good light source underground (especially ganoderms) it's so dark I can't see my drops. Brightness is set on full. and have seers headband and glow worm ,on my armor. Got a way around it, or are we supposed to be stumbling around in the dark?
