The only sound related issue I have is that often the sound will switch between left and right ear in the headphones. Sometimes when I move sound only comes out one ear than the other. Then sometimes there's that stupid meld sound in the background constantly makes it hard to concentrate.
I opened a support ticket with 2K support for the sounds issues that started happening in iOS 8.3 on my iPad Air 2. After performing all the basic troubleshooting steps they agreed it's broken. Instead of fixing it they told me to get a refund from the iTunes Store which isn't possible since I brought the game several months ago. As you can imagine I'm not happy with them.
Lol, good old 2k. I'm kinda done with this version of the game atm. It's great and all, but 2k's mobile support is awful, and PC seems to be the best way to play strategy games. So I guess I'm switching to PC to get the "long war" mod.

Can you describe more exact what sound problems you have?I have the same ipad with iOS 8.3 and i played a mission to test it but i didn't notice any problems.
Yeah I've just completed XCOM: Enemy Within on my iPad Air 2. Last year, I had completed XCOM: Enemy Unknown on my iPad 2. I fully experienced the expansion of everything, and I'd still say it was worth the money! All the new features in EW were pretty interesting and kept me pumped throughout! As for the sound issues, I play with headphones, and yes, it's like an EXTREME STEREO experience lol! Also, during one mission, the music switched to some kind of disco song thought the entire mission...dunno if that was intentional, but that wasn't present on EU, infact EU had no sound issues. I'm still surprised to this day that my iPad 2 (iOS 5.x.x) still can completely run EU without crashing (only RARELY during the Skyranger FMV after completing a mission).
sound issue 8.3 I got the annoying crackling sound too. Maybe I'll bug 2K, if enough of us bitch maybe they will fix it.
Just bought the game. Is there any way to change the text language? I have not found anything in the settings.
You have to change the language of your device. But the savegame will not be compatible so do it before you start the campaign.
Thanks for the fast answer. Mh that sucks. I'm German but play all my games on English. As I dont want to change my device settings I guess Im stuck with the German text then.
When I read things like this, it makes me feel embarrassed to be a typical monolingual American. I salute you, sir, and your bi/trilingual brethren (although I'm sorry there was no solution to your problem).
Ugh these sound bugs The panning is out of whack and all the crackling is annoying.. Emailed 2k, hopefully they address this soon
Thanks. It's only going to get fixed if enough people squawk. To bad 2k don't just do the right thing from the get go.
I too have intermittent sound bugs including the crackling. It seems to get worse if I tap to skip the cut scene/videos. I also have the video of the plane flying back home freeze for a couple of seconds about half way through the scene and the start back up. I have an iPad Air and have tried resetting the device, etc. but it still happens. I too will email 2K.
