What happened?

When a fire is going and you TAB out of the game, when you tab back in, there is no Fire sound anymore.
You will still hear cooking sounds, but not the sound of the fire itself.
We tested it with 4 people.

Reproduction steps

Light a fire in a Fireplace, Tab out of the Game, Tab back in.
Fire sound is gone.

It also happens with roadflares.
If you light one and tab out and back in, it doesn't make any sound for you anymore. So you can hear every other sound around you but not the roadflare.

It's not just tabbing out. If you walk far enough away from the fire and come back, the sound is also gone. Same goes for the sound of a power generator.
