Is RO2 a little bit quiet to you?

[Schnitzel15]

When I play the game the sounds seem too quiet for me. Footsteps, screams, ambient sounds are so quiet that they make me want to increase my volume, even though it is at max. Anyone else experiences this issue? And is it possible to make those sounds louder?

Maybe it's the temptation of a battle that just makes me want to hear stuff better and louder.

Or maybe it's just me playing ARMA 2 for some time. The footsteps are very loud in that game, but so is in real life when running with boots.

I sound silly for myself asking such questions, cause I can't really explain what I want. :/

I should sleep more.....

Sounds are bugged all over, with loads of sounds missing completely and other sounds being played at levels that are too low.

I have collected some of the threads dealing with this issue in a reply in this thread:

The sounds aren't too quiet, you've made yourself deaf with the volume at max.

number one sound problem........footsteps too soft! i hate dying, because the guy running at me with a bayonet, didn't scream and his feet made no noise!

Seems I read somewhere that in some cases you can only hear footsteps etc if the engine thinks that player is relevant to you (ex: in your line of sight).

But in other cases I hear things fine and other times I can barely hear at all even when there is no gunfire.

It sounds good on both of our systems - each with on board sound.

The moans are back full force since the dropout of them in Sept -
and except for localization of footsteps by the enemy inside buildings -
on Apartments for example - sounds are working out very well

Schnitzel,
Do you want to have tinnitus and hyperacusis for your whole life????

Google on it, you never want to have that loud real sound.

Btw, the last 3 years i had hyperacusis and it is a hell.

Yes, there are a few players that do not experience the sound bugs. Doesn't make them less real for the rest of us unfortunately.

You can increase the volume on the ROEngine.ini file IIRC. It'll appear as 1.000 on max, so just set it to whatever you want. I set it at 2.8000 I think, which means the game is 2.8x louder for me and makes it a lot better

that makes the whole game louder? or just the footsteps? cause we only really need the footsteps to be louder.

I use headphones only and their max volume is kinda low.

Sound is great for our two systems except localization of (other players) footsteps - you bayonetting maniac
