I was wondering if anyone experienced this in the PU; I’m relatively new to ADI and found that after installing mumble, it got harder and harder to hear the actual in game sounds. Now, even when mumble is completely uninstalled, the in game sounds are low and I have to raise the volume on my speakers to pass max just to hear say the ship requisition area computer or the on board Constellation computer or even lovely Tessa at the Probe.
Has anyone else experienced this and is there a possible work around other than a complete reinstall of the game?
Checked and this changed nothing. All other applications seem fine sound wise. I noticed this subtly ever time I would have a long mumble session, the actual in game noises got fainter and fainter till I finally could not hear them. Very odd. Oh well will reinstall the game. Hopefully this will clear it up.
I’ve noticed similar issues with other voip programs.
There are two things I would check on personally,
Mumbles settings (as Sangoria suggested). Under audio output there is a two lovely tickboxes “while others users talk and while you talk” which apply the above settings, such as reduced volume by X% amount etc.
I personally turn them off, so when I’m speaking and someone higher-up-rank than me speaks I would be able to hear them, and cut my mindless rambling short, instead of them coming through at X volume and mistakenly talking over each other.
Your speaker / headphones settings under windows (not your audio software).
On your windows volume icon, open up playback devices, next right click open the properties on your speakers/headphones (which ever your using for your sound) and go to the advanced tab. On here is a tick box for Exclusive Mode try unticking this.
Exclusive mode effectively gives a program/game the ability to turn down/change your global volume.
An example would be volume set to 10% in a game, then when alt tabing / switching out of the game everything would be set to 10% volume such as mumble/video players or vice versa.
My suggestion to solve this long term is to get a headset that has separate audio outputs for chat and game sounds that you can control from the headset itself.
