Engine sound too loud after patch?

[zamboni]

I'm not sure if the change in the engine sound is more realistic or not with the new patch (never actually flew a real A-10 :) ). Right now the engine sound totally overwhelms most of the in cockpit switches.

 

I thought previously that the engine sounds were controlled with the world sounds, but it is now controlled with the in-cockpit sounds.

 

If the volume of the engine relative to the cockpit sounds is realistic, then so be it.....but I would like a way to independently control the engine sound because I rely on the in-cockpit clicks to confirm if my keypresses or mouse clicks. Is there any way to change the engine sound only so I can hear some of the other in cockpit sounds a bit better?

I dont think anything regarding the sound was in the changelog.

Nope doesn't look like anything made it into the changelog. There is a new sound for opening/closing the canopy and that didn't make it into the changelog either.

 

I noticed the engine sound immediately after patching because without changing any of the sound sliders (after the patch) the engine sound was drowning out the radio. Something has changed...and I would like to get the sound back to the levels I was comfortable with pre-patch.

just to make sure that I wasn't hearing things. I went ahead and reinstalled the release from scratch and then applied the patch. Before and after patching I made a vid recording with all of the sounds at max to compare. Attached is a video showing the difference.

 

(Note, I was wrong about the engine sound, in both release and in patch it is controlled by the in cockpit sounds).

 

The engine sound isn't really louder, it is basically the same....but all of the other sounds (in cockpit and radio and voice-overs are not as loud. It makes it really tough to hear the radio calls. To hear the radio calls better I have to turn down the in-cockpit sounds, but when turning down the cockpit sounds, I can barely hear any of the cockpit switches.

Same problem here zamboni. Whats your settings now?

When I did the video I had all of the sound at 100% just for comparison, to cut down engine sound I turned it down to 80, but the cockpit clicks were barely audible. Since my posts above, Nate posted a way to change the engine sounds in a different thread

 

I've yet to try it, but It sounds like a solution.

I made the changes as per Nate's thread and it works great. I set mine at gain = 0.15 and for me the engines are still audible but everything else clear.
