Help-In game sound too low

SKUD · #1 10-22-2011, 05:24 AM

OK I have given up trying to solve this on my own. I cannot get but the faintest engine and voice sounds out of the game. My volumes are cranked to the max. I have tested all my hardware and can blow my eardrums out with every other application. I was doing 2 things when I lost sound volume. One was exiting out of a flight and changed volume settings without going back to main menu and 2 I was screwing around with TS3 volume control plug in settings at one time. I have uninstalled the game. Uninstalled TS3 and cleared out its config file (no easy task to find them all). I have played with device settings for the sound card. Nothing will get me more volume.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheese-you da man!
It was the mixer. IL2 was completely shut down. How the heck did that happen-so I don't do it again.
Thanks

Took me weeks to figure that one out! haha

Oh yea, glad to have helped!

When I saw the origal post I thought he had the same problem I have. I cannot hear the machine guns and cannon over the engine noise. With engine at idle or off I can faintly hear it. In outside view I can barely hear any noises. Never had this problem with the older versions.

Late to the party; Cheesehawk beat me to it. Same happened to me and had me scratching my head because outside of C0D sound was fine, plus I had volume turned all the way up in CoD in the Menu Settings. Finally found the Steam/C0D volume control in my Win7 Mixer controls. Good explanation from Cheese on the TS3 involvement in this.

I think this might be happening to me too. I'll try the fix later. Thanks!
