I've had an irritating ongoing issue with SH III ever since I started playing the stock game early last year. If I'm on the surface & I switch to external view (ship cam: I like to watch my boat sometimes, especially with the GWX improved models

) and then return to the bridge the engine's sound will sometimes die off but all other sounds remain normal. I can restore my engine sound by adjusting my speed. Is this a known issue with the game & is there any other solution to it besides fiddling with the speed?
Thanks.
