Music too loud when volumeis right for the game sound FX

Post by humorguy »

Anyone know how to fix the fact that to hear the sound effects in game at the right volume, the menu music is way too loud? It annoying having to turn the volume up and down all the time! :(

When you load a map/level... press F4. Odds are you didn't have the in game volume in 100%. Which is probably why the main menu sounds loud... you had in game volume low.

So I turn the volume down in the menu so the music is at normal volume, then I go into the game and hi F4 for 100% volume, does that mean (I hope) that if I die I can hit Shift-F4 to zero the volume before going back to the menu?

In any event, would have been nice if the game dealt with sound better, rather than just one slider for all and then off/on buttons for all the other sound options.

In the games defense, "music" only appears on the main menu, which you can turn off. Never had any problems with it being too loud, or louder than anything else though...

I meant is if you have your in game sound at 100% then it shouldn't be too low compared to main menu. It isn't loud for me... so I'm saying if your in game is at max then you just adjust the speaker/computer sound volume like you would normally do so main menu and in game are the same sound level.

You clearly haven't played a solo map for a while. Every time you win or lose a mesh there's postgame music. I think this is what he's talking about.

I have found it helps to turn down the sound hardware acceleration, but it only helps somewhat. I have tried the regular Myth II and it's the same, so it's not a Fallen Levels problem.

Neverheless, despite still trying to solve this problem, I have to tell you I am having great fun playing Fallen Levels! The game is just as hard as I remember it to be, but I think I am coping a bit better now than I did 10 years ago! :)
