whats with the sound in this game?

alphlvr · 01-20-10, 10:06 PM

hi i have sh4 + uboat

it seems to me the sound is absolutlely useless, i thought it was my original copy corrupted so i bought the gold edition and its no different. o even did a reinstall of xp just for sh4, i must have 15 setups at least.

for instance, in the sound folder there are sounds for the crew sighing, crying and laughing, well ive killed mine, starved them of air, awarded medals and sunk endless shipping and never heard a cough,scream or laugh.

ive read the sound controller is a bit naff and doesnt always call sounds it should but it is right i never ever have heard them?? i could create a massive list of things i never hear, such as warnings of depth charges being dropped, ships on attack runs, being ttold im being pinged (yes i know i can hear the pings)

if you hear these sounds tell me what you did to hear them??

compared to sh3 the sound is pathetic.

is it really this bad or is somthing wrong??

the mods rfb tmo om and rising sun have made this game almost brilliant but the sound is driving me crazy??

i reinstalled sh3 and gwx just to check i wasnt imagining it used to be better.....and i was right unless somthings wrong?

id really appreciate knowing once and for all.

ive tried wating you tube vids to see if they hear sounds i dont but they are all awash with music tracks, pfft...if anyone knows of a link that shows the game and sounds i should hear during a attack, sinking and escape id appreciate it.

Other than the calls for navigation and torpedoes, there are very few voice sounds in the game.
It would be helpful if your crew told you you're under attack or a dd is closing fast on your 6, etc.

"Depth Charges in the water" and some others would get to be annoying after the first few DCs so maybe it's for the best.?????

I have more sounds and noises than I can stand. Men walking, doors closings, one sick guy that coughs all the time, endless sounds. The crew on the deckgun sounds out firing orders, ect.

As for guns, the shells going off make me jump out of my chair, you can hear them zoom past you, depth charges dropping sound great, ect...

Can't recall stock or TMO alone. I do run EAX sound sim and ROW 9 sound or one of the speech mods.....The EAX mod makes sound very realistic, so try some of those, but EAX sound for sure.
It changes all the gun sounds, booms, ect...turned my 5.1 speakers into a bose system.

I thought with TMO alone depth charges dropping, ect., were fine, but if you want sound, just check the mods page for sound mods.

really, i have several setups with tmo, another with rfb and another with op monsonn, ive tried every soundpack. not the eax one i admit but ill try it.

could you tell me the list of what toy have installed atm and ill mimic it 100%...jgsme will list em uf you use it (i speak the obvious

)

i have my fatality creative sb 5.1 plugged into my 5.1 home cinema sytem with my speakers on the walls around me. after sh3 or even sh3+gwx the sound is killing the game for me.

ps i never got tired of `vassaboben` or whatever it was

id swap eye candy for atmospheric sound anyday, sound is what a sub hame is all about, hell if i didnt stand on the bridge id forget i had a crew.

even silly sonds like radio/contact message sent would be appreciated. when ships sink your hydrophones man saying shes going down, or shes breaking up, blkheads are buckling, men screaming....., sh4 is so good in its modded state but the sound is uttely dissapointing.

so those cheers cries screams arnt used then?? ive been killing my crew to hear em sigh or scream but to no avail

cheers
