There are quite a few sounds that are very hard to hear for me too. My card is an older SB 512 PCI. It does not do 3D sounds very well I guess.
I found a fix for it though you lose the 3D effect. I changed a funny file in the Sound folder called sh.sdl open in hex editor and find your sound file name. Then set the sound attribute from 3D at 1 to a 0. Now the position data will not affect it. Much louder.
You can also maybe fix the backward sounds of the control room engines from front to back, destroyer stereo sound from left to right backwards, etc by changing the distant radius, sound postion data, volume level, etc.
It could stand having a tweak file made for it; too bad Nvdrifter quit.
By following his hard work, one could give it a try. I think the sounds are contolled by that file. Maybe even trigger reference numbers. I would like to hear the 'Taking Damage' and 'Diving to deep' to accur where they make more sense. Also to hear the water pipe breaking and steam sound play (they are silent).
