1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

No I mean volumes. Like the music is insanely loud compared to voice. I had to turn effects and music down to 40%

This sounds like the issue I had a good while ago, before realising something I was using was trying to output as surround sound, whereas I only had stereo speakers (so some sounds seemed normal, some incredibly low).

Just thought of giving that a mention. It may be worth having a look in your game settings, if there is an option to output as Stereo.

No option for that on the audio section of the game.

I installed the game myself and had a look, unfortunately you're right. My speakers are decent with hearing everything, however I can definitely notice the vocals being considerably lower than the music and such.

There is a way to normalise audio levels from within Windows sound settings, you just have to remember to revert once you're done playing.
This seems to be a good article about it: https://pureinfotech.com/normalize-sound-volume-windows-10/

It's a workaround, but it should help with the game and anything else you'd have this issue with. If you're using Linux, unfortunately I can't help. Good luck!

Ah fuck. Sorry man, I hope someone can figure it out. It's a very new game, so hopefully more people take enough notice for a fix to be implemented.

Otherwise, I found an article which seems to allude to advanced volume settings to 'normalise audio', on an Xbox, in a similar way: https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/hardware-network/display-sound/choosing-speaker-audio-output

If you're using a Playstation, it may be worth digging around in your system settings. Sometimes the option is referred to as 'equalise', 'dynamic range', etc.

Hope this helps!
