Helo Im new and have a prob

[Seth8530]

Helo, i have been playing silent hunter and gwx for quite some time. I have been reading these forums for a while aswell.



Anyways a quick question.

I cant hear a lot of the sounds in game. such as pipe break and stuff nad voices. kinda anoying. when the volume nob is all the way to the right that means ludest right?


My specs are as following.

Amd 3700 64bit 2.2ghz 7900gtx 512mb (overclocks superbly) 2 gigs ram pc3200 and on board sound ( mobo dont want to detect my x-fi)

any help is welcome

Have you looked in the option page for sound? You can adjust voices and other related noises from this page.

Hello and welcome to SubSim:up:

I think you can edit the sound volume at the options tab in the ain menu screen. There you can chose the volume of the different sounds, voices and music. Have you tried this? If you have I would suggest you check your soundcard settings.

Welcome aboard Seth8530

As posted above select the volume in the options
For some reason my crew voices set itself at minus something so couldnt hear them

Post again if you have any luck
Or not

Wow thanks for all the responces. I have em all set to -40. which i belive is the loudest.


Also Im running the game at max settings, forced on 8x supersampling 16 antistortropic
8x aliasing supersampling Gama correcting allaising Transparency sampling: set to super sampling. and texture filtering at high quality. And to be honest it runs to fast.

So anyways do yall know of any grahphics tweaks that can put my frames down to a reasonable level. such as some .con tweaks. Just trieng to get the game to look the best. I am using all the gwx "mini mods" except lite trafic. Just wondering.


BTW I like my nick name too.:sunny:

I believe -40 would be the softest not the loudest.

[Seth8530]

Wow thanks Ive been wondering about that a lot. Killer help.

Gona go test it.

[Seth8530]

Garr. Ive had em set to 0 all the time. Is that the loudest?

[melnibonian]

I think the loudest must be + something (I don't remember the value)

[Seth8530]

Hmm thanks maybe we can work on my second prob.

You want to tune down your frames to a descent level?
I assume you want to tune it up :)

High fps=good thing
Low fps = bad thing

Turn down some of your grapich settings. Thats the only advise i have for you if you suffer from FPS lag. its proberly your computer that cant handle that "extreme" settings you have.

I dont know of any grapich tweaks that would help you.

The low sound, well i noticed when i installed GWX that the sound was extremly low for some sound files. So i changed it by boosting up the volume for them.

You can use windows own soundrecorder to do it.

just load the soundfile and at the "effect" tab you can adjust the volume for the sound. eiter increase it 25% or tune it down. Be carefull to raise it to high or the sound will be distorted. Just listen to the sound after each change you do.
And when you are satisifed, save the file.

Nien, too many. i want to add effects. i cut thru this like lava thru butter. its kinda where im geting so many frames im wasting em so i want to add effects and stuff to where i am not wastign so many fps. All my settings are maxed out btw

Aha i see. soz that i missunderstod you :)

Well the only thing you can do is to try some additional mods. There is loads of skins you can download and try.

But most of the effects that is on the mod market is allready in gwx.

Check out the mod section on this forum for additional mods. Do some search and iam sure u will find some. :)

Welcome aboard kaleun...the galley is a little further aft :arrgh!: :up:

[AVGWarhawk]

I really do not know why you would want to slow FPS but it is your gig. Add more mods or start a background program that will take some of the cpu usage away....you know a program like one that launches the space shuttle or something.:doh:

[Dietrich]

The sound gauges are attenuation in dB assuming a fixed amplification. The softest is -40 dB (so, attenuated by 40 dB) and the loudest is 0 dB (so maximum output... no attenuation at all). I never thought of it as being confusing, but you're right! It certainly would be if you didn't expect it.

Oh... and welcome to subsim.com :sunny:
