Radio sounds extremely low through heaphones

[bones1014]

If I change the sound option for headphones from default (which is my desktop speakers) to my headphones the volume for the radio is very very low. I also use voice chat like discord or steam voice chat and those volumes are fine. DCS is so low I have to have my headphone volume maxed just to hear it a little bit. Is there a way to increase it?

Maybe you are talking about some specific radio messages? because no one has ever complained about the volume of the recorded radio chatters.

Anyway, in sound options you can lower "In-Cockpit" slider. Leave "Helmet" slider at 100% - it is the volume for the radio.

Have a look at windows sound settings > advanced, it will give you separate volume controls for each item currently running (well it does on my average pc) so you can then change master volumes of dsc, discord, srs, anything, to get the balance better.

Try to open Windows sound options and at the last tab check "Do Nothing"

Maybe you have this bug because windows reduce DCS volume

Everything is maxed out and performing the sound test in Windows itself is extremely loud. All other programs that use my headphones for sounds have to be turned down. I checked the things above, except for the volume for each sound source. I don't know what that is or where to find it.

It seems to be the problem on VoiceChat side. Try to close all VoiceChat programs and check please again.

I checked this morning without discord or SRS or anything else running. Windows had just started up. Sounds through headphones is still extremely quiet in DCS. At the same time in windows the headphone test tones are super loud like before. I have no idea why.

This is very strange, because we cannot note such problems on our side. At the moment, we are still inclined to believe that the problem lies with other software. The DCS sound engine takes into account only the volume set in the sound settings of the DCS. It takes nothing from audio device or windows mixers.

Thanks for looking. I'll see if I can figure out what it is.

I found the issue. I moved some jacks around and one of them seems to disagree with DCS world. Have no idea why. It works with every other program that produces sound. Thanks again for the suggestions.
