StaceyPowers Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I notice I almost always have to lower the default volume of music and effects in games, or I miss a lot of dialogue and have to strain to hear. Does anyone else consistently have the same problem with audio volume defaults? Withywarlock and Boblee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Yep - it happens a lot especially in modern games where the music and effects are unbearably loud for some reason and then the characters tend to be whispering lol. Like why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I usually don't have this issue while I'm playing a game. Although, my husband loves to tinker with the display and audio settings WHILE I'm playing a game to suit his liking so maybe he beats me to it before it's actually a problem.

Family sedan Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Like I said earlier, I usually play at a real low volume and usually don't mess with in game volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 If I found the sounds to be a big distraction for me, then I'd reduce the volume but if not, it stays on the default level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I love hearing the sound of the game I'm playing but not in a high volume, I love listening to the commentary voices, the radar from the fans, those voices or sound makes the game worthwhile.

It's actually why I prefer playing all my games making use of my headphones in order to avoid disturbing others. Family sedan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 The sound of the in-game, the radar which is mostly the fans chant, it's truly what I look out for when it comes to playing racing games especially on F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I tend to leave it at their default volume, but do turn in subtitles for dialogue options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - it's more fun doing it that way because the subtitles really aids you in catching almost everything in the dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Their are games that brings inspiration to me while I am consistently playing it. I love hearing the tune of music when I am playing NFS, and MGP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 It's ideal to lower the soundtrack or music in order to hear the dialogue or conversation with non - player character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever any video games can teach you something that's going to matter more outside the game itself, it's definitely going to matter too much.

Head_Hunter Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 When I am playing a game and their are lots of wonderful cutscenes surrounding it, I don't listen to music at that moment in order not to disrupt my hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I do this also. My list of priorities go as follows: The video I'm listening to in the background (currently Critical Role, Campaign 1) Dialogue audio. Sound FX depending on how the music is. Music depending on how good the FX are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
