NezuHimeSama Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) This happened when CSGO updated the rifle sounds, several of the guns were causing ear fatigue for me due to the lack of crisp treble and abundance of muffled bass. Braton easily has it worse than anything in CSGO though. I really hope this isn't what the game is going to sound like in a year, I'd have to turn the sound off. Can we get some options for those of us who haven't blasted our ears off with horrible bass amplification yet? Woops, wrong subsection. Can someone please move this to sound?

Chipputer Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 What do you mean by ear fatigue, exactly? I'm not trying to be snarky or anything. I'm legitimately asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NezuHimeSama Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 After hearing it a while, my ears hurt. Physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhundis Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 You know PCs come with audio mixers built in right? Sound is so customizable that DE doesn't really need to do anything on their end. Try adjusting your sound settings before complaining to the sound team that your ears hurt. And if your complaining about it your obviously playing at too loud a volume.

Xiusa Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Same here. For me it's right after the echo kicks in on the Braton at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change PC's audio mixer setup which changes sound for EVERYTHING in the machine so that ONE weapon sound in one game wouldn't feel weird to my ears?

[DE]George Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Some of the new sounds we put in for the weapon refresh are a bit loud. We will be adjusting the volume of them, which should help with your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, well you could. Or you could adjust it via whatever app is running. My current rig has 3 or 4 different sound profiles set up to change the sound balance of certain pitches depending on what app or game I'm running. Takes some work to set up but worth it in the long run so you don't have to keep adjusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NezuHimeSama Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 I listen to music while playing games. I'd rather not completely hollow out the bass just because the sound effects of a couple of games have far, far too much bass with no crispness or kick. Why should only bass-heads who've blown their own ears out from blasting loud rap music be able to enjoy multiple audio sources? If you like bass, you can turn that up, rather than forcing people who value clarity to ruin the overall audio experience to account for one very poorly designed set of sounds. Also, volume is not a solution, as balance is the issue in the first place. Loud or quiet, the ear strain is the same, unless the volume is so low that the overemphasis on bass is balanced by ambient sound, at which point audibility of the sound in question is going to be problematic.

You're looking a lot less sympathetic when you take a suggestion and somehow spin it into an insult, like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haxwell Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Try turning down the sound effect volume. Or turning off reverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
