Quiet demise

I hear them alright. No issue here at all with the sounds. Looks like you might have a problem.

I had similar sound issues, barely able to hear crew, no creaks groans of hull ect. Then when trying to tweek my system to run at higher settings I adjusted the power management in Vista to performance from balanced.

The unexpected result included sound improvement. Now all sounds are present and somewhat balanced. Did have to knock the music setting down quite a bit though.

Yes, I have the music turned down so it is background noise. I hear everything else. All noise is present in my games.

The first thing I did was to turn off the music, I hear all the sounds, in fact cruising at 200 feet, the sub creaks and groans so much, it sounds like it is falling apart!

One odd thing I have noticed however is that you can hear alarm bells going off on surface ships which are very close, it is a bit faint but audible.

My not be to odd that you can hear the alarm bells of close passing ships. Water can carry that sound if I'm not mistaken.

Anyone:hmm:

Actually water is an excellent transmitter of sound. Faster indeed than air.

But that speed comes at a cost.. diminishing energy.

As to there being no "warning" marks on the depth gauges I could be totally wrong but I belive it was done from a psychological viewpoint "ohhh look were in the red !".

You can bet your bottom dollar that nearly every single sailor on that boat knew its crush depth.

I have the music off. The crew were silent until I got the sound pack noted in this forum (nice diesle sounds, I didn't want to use the ones from SH3 cause german engines sound completly different from the american over under alco engine.) What settings did you fiddle with to get the sounds. I have all the creaking, engine, water sounds and such, but no Bad noises such as bolts popping, and lines breaking and leaking.

any help offers?
