Turn music off... sound off... still blaring.

[ENO]

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem? Fresh install 128... uninstalled my last install since I had botched it (long story).

 

Reinstalled- music was playing. I like the music but was a bit loud. Go to option, turned it down to it's lowest setting. Nothing.

 

Pressed okay...

 

Nothing.

 

 

Turned master volume down... nothing.

 

 

Pressed Okay... nothing...

 

 

Anyway- not sure if anyone else has had this issue but here it is. Windows 8.

You're right- sorry... forgot I downgraded to 8.1. Oh- I mean upgraded. (cough).

I still have this issue. None of the volume controls work in the sounds menu. Looking at the sounds control lua doesn't make sense to me. Anyone got a solution to this yet?

 

local mapping = {

global_volume = {"volume", 0},

ui_volume = {"gui", 0},

music_volume = {"music", 0},

world_volume = {"world", 0},

cockpit_volume = {"cockpit", 0},

headphones_volume = {"headphones", 0},

}

 

sound = {}

 

local k,m

for k,m in pairs(mapping) do

local vol = 0

if options and options.sound and options.sound[m[1]] <= 0 then

vol = options.sound[m[1]]

end

sound[k] = vol + m[2]

end

 

-- set up cockpit types

sound['cockpit_world'] = {

['A-10A'] = { gain = 0.35, lowpass = 1000 },

['A-10C'] = { gain = 0.35, lowpass = 1000 },

['P-51D'] = { gain = 0.18, lowpass = 3500 },

['su-25A'] = { gain = 0.30, lowpass = 2500 },

['su-25T'] = { gain = 0.30, lowpass = 2500 },

['Mi-8MTV2'] = { gain = 0.3, lowpass = 3000 },

}

 

 

ambientSound =

{

surfaceSamples = 12, --must be a multiple of 3

sampleRadius = 30, -- meters

resampleDistance = 10, -- meters

resampleTime = 0.5, -- seconds

fadeOutHeight = 100, -- meters

 

windCount = 5, -- wind types

windMax = 30, -- m/s

turbulenceMax = 3, -- m/s

A fellow squad mate and I had a similar issue whilst we were trying to troubleshoot a controller problem I was having. He posted this in that thread:

 

"Whilst helping the OP, I've seen strange behaviour with the options and auto recovery since upgrade to 1.2.8.

 

I've just renamed my saved games/DCS folder and fired the game up and gone into controls and it's blank. Swapping between the tabs (System, Audio, Controls), it stayed in this state.

 

I also couldn't turn the in game music down/off without doing the following:

Turn down in game music, click ok (nothing happens)

Go to system tab and do something (change texture map, click ok)

Go back to audio and check in game music is 0%

Click cancel (music stops)"

 

Seems like there is a bug with the menus.

Oh, and we're both on Win7 so I don't think it's a Win8 problem.

I confirm this too, guys. No matter what type of setting you put, the sound still loud, it sucks when you try to hear your friends on Team Speak.

Same here.

Sorry should have said Windows 7 here as well.

I will try what WhiskeyBravo did and see if that works. Cheers for answering guys. Appreciated, and now I know I'm not the only one with this problem.
