Title: 5 and 8" volume control
Post by: pat judah on July 10, 2007, 11:03:16 PM: I have looked over and over the "game sounds" to adjust volume on the 5" and 8" guns on cruiser/CV and nothing ive adjusted seem to help... is there a way to lower the volume on these? Driving me and several others nuts... (but i have to admit.. they do sound pretty cool.. lol)

thanks.. flkjkt21/36th dynamite gang

I use custom sounds, and while I can adjust the volume of those sounds in preferences, it has no effect on the guns, which play back far louder than anything else.

That works, but that would only apply to custom sounds since HTC changed the default sounds from wavs to whatever they use now, right?

Post by: Meatwad on August 17, 2007, 10:09:43 PM: I didnt know they were changed. I do use a sound pack but with a few of my personal sounds.

Example, I have a 60's model turbo diesel Duece and a half as the sounds for my M3. Currently working on using a diesel locomotive as another GV sound but havent decided on what I want to use it with.

I have never seen a legitimate way to do this, and with the way HTC does not have the actual *.WAV files in the sounds folder it is almost impossible.

Post by: hubsonfire on August 18, 2007, 12:38:10 AM: Yeah, I hate the audio interface, even in it's improved layout. I still don't see why you can turn your engine sounds to zero, but not the ship guns.
