Volume control

[Laro]

If i reduce the overall volume of DCS with the Windows audio mixer i can hear all sounds (switches, fuel pumps, etc.).

 

When i use the volume slider in the options menu inside DCS, some of the cockpit sounds are missing (switches, fuel pumps, etc.).

I´m having the same issue !

For example, if I´m moving the sound sliders, I can only hear the engine (inside the cockpit) from the P51 when on full throttle.

Mi8 I can´t hear the turbines spool up. I´m missing many more !!!

In outside view all is okay.

Any fix for that ?

It would be good if somewhere there was an explanation of what each slider increases/silences (engines, wind, sound, electronics devices, hydraulic landing gear, air-brake, countermeasures, missiles, etc.).

I'm not sure what exactly each slider affects but I'm using the following settings and it seems to work well. Have no trouble hearing Teamspeak over the other sounds.

Approximately :) :

 

 

EDIT POST: Addition from DCS Manual:

The audio sliders increase volume when moved to the right and decrease when moved to the left. Each slider is dedicated to a specific audio channel:

• VOLUME: This controls the ingame master volume of the audio settings and affects all channels equally.
  
• GUI: The volume of the Graphics User Interface (GUI) devices, like button clicks, is controlled with this slider.
  
• WORLD: The volume of audio sources outside of the cockpit. (wind, other planes, vechiles, water...)
  
• IN COCKPIT: This slider controls the volume levels of audio sources inside your cockpit. Examples include switches and fans. (hydraulics, engines...)
  
• HELMET: Use this slider to adjust volume levels that would come through the pilot's headphones such as radio messages and warnings. (warnings, Betty, radio msgs...)
  
• MUSIC: The volume of the music that is heard when in the menu screens is adjusted with this slider.
  

 

There are a lot of audio files in the Sounds folder and is a big job to sort them in these few sliders. I tried to connect sliders to the sounds to which we often pay attention. I hope so it will help and forgive me if i`m messed up something because sometimes they confuse me too :) :pilotfly:

Thank you 238thFalcon, but it's a very general.

Oh. I think that's why I can't hear my Ka-50's rotor sound since update...

 

Thanks for heads up.

Is there any way to adjust these settings while running a mission?

 

It's nearly impossible to get these settings optimally coordinated with Teamspeak if you have to fall back to the main menu to adjust the audio settings.
