Sounds are killing me

Recommended Posts

I took a break and have recently returned to a new (very nice!) launcher. I'm having an issue with the sound though. Mothverts, doors, meseta used in shops and other erroneous sounds are WAY too loud! I used custom ogg's to help with that previously, but now the launcher overwrites anything I change.

I've searched the forums here and haven't found my answer. Is there anything I am missing or can do to fix this?

Check sound settings in the launcher, you are able to turn SFX down now, not sure if it will solve the problem but should help

I changed the settings there. It helped, but by turning everything down.

Rappies running is also really loud for some reason.

I used the current installer on the front page on a newer computer with windows 10. I'm also using a 7.1 surround sound headset if that matters. I'll try some other things and see what I can come up with.

*edit*

Fresh install with no modded hud or skins and I get the same thing.

I tried a different server (ephinea) and no sound issues there.

The sound effects are not OGG, are WAVs inside containers specifically here PSOBB Ultima\data\sound\

None of those files are currently being patched so no idea why you say the launcher overwrites them.

Also the OGGs that are currently patched are located at PSOBB Ultima\data\ogg\custom which none of those are sound effects except the rare drop.

You should be able to overwrite every file at PSOBB Ultima\data\ogg\

Now, for the volume sliders there is the possibility that it's somehow increasing the volume instead of reducing it, that is if I made a mistake programming it but apparently nobody has experienced such a thing, except you now.

I'm currently backing up stuff here in my computer but after that I'll look into it and see if there is something going on.

You're absolutely right. The launcher patches so fast I had a hard time seeing which files it was patching.

I thought the ogg files held the sound effects in them. I remember messing around with them years ago to change the footsteps of the RAcast. I'm probably remembering it wrong.

Anyway, I had the volume sliders at 1 on both. I moved them all the way up to 10 and it fixed my issue.

Thank you for keeping PSO alive!
