Sound problems with GWX 3.0

Broncoman1980 · 05-28-11, 05:27 PM

Good day,
I recently purchased a copy of SH3 and I downloaded the GWX3 gold and everything seems to be working great except I am having some sound issues. When I am surfaced I can't hear the engines running nor can I hear waves crashing and other misc sounds. Then when I am submerged and inside the boat it seems very quiet and all I can hear is the crew noises such as whispering and pages turning, etc. When I am inside the boat I still can't hear the engines running. Basically having a problems with ambient sounds. For instance when I run the regular un-modded game, the engines are loud and ambient noise in the sub is present and outside the waves are crashing against the hull, etc, but not with GWX3 gold. This is all new to me as I am not really an experienced modder lol. Was just wondering if anyone else has this problem, or am I just crazy and it is supposed to be this way?? Please help! Thanks!

I'm not 100 on what you mean, if I'll be honest, but I do not see too much different to what you have said,but here at SubSim there are resources for solutions, so look out ..

Sorry I don't have any suggestions for fixing the issue, but I can tell you that you're not crazy, you should be hearing more ambient sound, definitely you should hear sea/wind sounds up on the bridge, depending on the state of the weather of course.

WELCOME ABOARD!

Unfortunately I haven't experienced that particular problem, so I'm not going to be much help either.

Hi Broncoman1980

You don't state what your sound setup is so I'll presume it's onboard (motherboard) and not a separate sound card.

Load the game and on the Options page choose Sound Settings...you'll notice four dials 'General, Music, FX and Speech'....these are all set by default to 0db.

Try upping the FX to say 20 and don't forget to 'Apply Changes', load the game and observe the change.

You can now tweak the others via trial and error to come to an acceptable level that is compatable with your systems sound settings.
