Regular Menu Sounds Soft Quiet Sounds In Game

What do I need to do to fix this? I have everything up in the sounds setting yet crew sounds like they're whispering in game. They aren't. I have tried running without Discord loaded. I have tried running in compatibility mode. It actually does not help the sound issue and makes the game less stable. The only mod I am running is TMO 2.5. It does not seem anyone else has posted on this issue. I am sure I am not the only one. I use Razer Synapse 2.0 with headphones.

Please note that I have ALREADY TRIED running in compatibility mode and as Administrator. Neither fixed the problem. I do not want to have to turn my volume up to 100% just to play this game then have to turn it back down for everything else.

Did you hit the "z" key, it activates "silent running". If so just hit it again.

Nope. That's not the problem.

Have you checked the Options / Sound from the main menu?

I usually turn the Music down so I can hear the crew, and I'll notch the Radio volume down a pinch else that has a tendency to blast you out of the conn also. I do not alter the 3D Sound Channels, because that causes issues on every one of my computers, so I don't know if that is old sound tech that is no longer valid in the 'modern' Windows, or what. It does take some fiddling though to get a balance with the rest of your system. If that's not it, and you're not on Silent Running as pabbi suggested, then look to see if you have something with your sound system customized for the game.

I've done all that as well. I can turn everything down and still barely hear the crew unless I turn my PC's volume all the way up which I don't want to do because I play other games and use Discord. As far as I can tell, this is not an issue that can be solved by playing with options and there are no mods I see that increase the volume beyond the in-game options. That is what I need. Louder sound files I guess, but I have no idea where to get those. I fixed the issue once, but can't remember what I did. I just know it didn't involve the in-game options settings. Literally the in-game sounds, without changing anything in options, are half the volume of the menu. That shouldn't be.

Are you using HDMI, and maybe the audio is going that route? and not through the sound card?
