Sound / Volume reduction when view changed back to Cockpit

[The_Bullet_Chef]

Hello all,

 

May I ask if anyone else gets the following small, but noticeable sound / volume issue? -

 

After cycling through or choosing an external view, then going back into cockpit (F1), the cockpit sound / volume (engine noise, wind noise, basically the entire cockpit volume) is significantly reduced for about 3 - 4 seconds, then slowly ramps back up to the normal level again...

 

It's not too much, but enough to be noticed and break immersion.

 

It happens with all my aircraft (ED standard aircraft & all my purchased modules) on any map.

 

I wanted to see if it's happening with anyone else or just me.

 

Please feel free to comment...

 

Thanks in advance...

Hello, I think this is some kind of dynamic compression of your audio card. Try checking your audio settings.

Not getting this. What audio hardware do you use?

Thanks, I'll educate myself on 'dynamic compression' and look into it.

 

Very much appreciated.

I'm using a 'Sound Blaster X Pro Gaming Card' - directly strapped to my ROG MB

You are a genius..!! There was a setting within my Sound Blaster Software called 'Smart Volume' which dynamically adjusts volume to prevent sudden volume changes. i disabled it and now the sound DOES NOT reduce when re-entering the cockpit from external views.

 

I can't believe how long I have been playing DCS like this.. haha

 

Your help is very much appreciated..

 

Thanks again
