Any chance this is tied to the location system? I know PD was using that for ambient sound. |

That slider is definitely behaving strange. If I adjust it, I get almost inaudible music, but afte a while (leaving a zone?) it gets way too loud again. Could really be tied to the location settings. |

Messing with sound again. Playing Living_expenses last night and I walk out of stairway into second floor and BAM I'm deafened by mansion_outside.ogg. Sound levels in game are 5 for SFX slider, 0 for ambient. I tried adjusting my soundcard volume (creative x-fi gamer) through it's control panel (which helped on Vista32bit) but didn't do anything now (W764bit). I uninstalled the card, reinstalled onboard sound (realtek 7.1) and still have the same issue. I opened the mission in DR and it does in fact use sound locations. This sound location was set to volume -50. I deleted that volume, recompiled and tried it out, still same loud music, so loud it drowns out doors, footsteaps, guard voices. I adjusted sound shaders for that noise all to -60, -50, -40 but none of them helped (this before and after recompile with no volume override). So I do know that the ambient slider has no effect, on 0 sounds are still deafening and I can hear all sounds. SFX slider does quite music, but also quites other sounds in relation so I still can't hear them when music plays. It could be a sound_location issue also, as changing those volume in shaders/sound entities doesn't effect them as far as I can tell. I wish I could help out more but nothing I have tried has worked, or been consistant between vista/w7. I didn't even have luck quiteing the sound shaders (the ambient sounds have no volumes on them btw) |

Just wanted to add that the slider works fine for me in maps that don't use the location system. |

The location system script has been fixed to monitor that slider and normalize it's value to adjust the ambient played via the location speaker. Needs testing in test/trigger_messages.map and then can be closed. |
