Slurk Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I´ve had this problem as long as i can remember. All the time when i play with other players and they use direct speech their volume is so low I can´t hear them. The workaround that works best is for me is to lower the ingame volume to about 10% and crank up my speakers to 20 bars out of 30, i usually have 3 bars so it´s really loud. Then i can hear people talking normally, problem is that i lose the ability to hear vehicles and if i get a message from steam or something else outside arma it´s deafeningly loud. I´ve tried increasing the volume in teamspeak but that increases the static aswell. I have increased TS volume by about 3-5 dB and that works but not any higher. Once i remember there were some new players on the server and they said they couldn´t hear people talking aswell. Are any of you guys experiencing the same problem?

Amentes Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I've found all ACRE / TFAR volume to be lower than normal TeamSpeak volume. Best I can do is to suggest that you try fiddling with your TeamSpeak volume settings, possibly adding a decibel boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostDragon Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 i believe that within the plugin options you can increase the voice volume on a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, go to ACRE plugin settings, adjust pre- and post-mix volume. Ah wait, we aren't using ACRE any more. Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a setting within the TFAR plugin as well if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiranhA Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 If its too low, use: https://www.google.nl/search?q=ladder&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwid39un8KPRAhWGBsAKHdbwAKwQ_AUICCgB&biw=1600&bih=794 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In teamspeak: Settings > Options > playback tab > increase voice volume adjustment. That only works a little bit. 45 minutes ago, PiranhA said: If its too low, use: https://www.google.nl/search?q=ladder&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwid39un8KPRAhWGBsAKHdbwAKwQ_AUICCgB&biw=1600&bih=794 Not sure if joke or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only crew/pilot helmets muffle the sound a lot. The "normal" ones I use don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorgensen73 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hi, I have somewhat the same problem, but I can hear them even though it is very low.. would love it to be louder to. As you say, in TS the sound is perfect, but when in game it is very low.. Will try to adjust TS volume as stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were in Vortex, the helmet might be the problem as stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually play MAT and have the enhanced snakeskin helmet. But i tried the Wdl BAF and i had the same problem. Even without the helmet and it´s the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle-Eye Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I had the same problem when I logged in as regular Rifleman and Ast. Autorifleman. Oddly enough, even putting my TS output up to the max (+20dB, I believe) didn't give me any noticeable difference in-game, but when someone actually talked through TS, it was extremely loud. According to what I could find with a quick Google search, it may have something to do with ACE hearing (as said by others, helmets and earplugs muffling the sounds), but couldn't find a fix so far. EDIT: Connected again today. Didn't have the issue at all. Weird... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried googling too but couldn´t find anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle-Eye Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Came to think of something today. Before I connected yesterday, I disabled the indicated option. It may or may not be a factor, but as I didn't have as much problems yesterday, my guess would be that with the option enabled, TS3 3D position information (wherever it gets it from) adds to / conflicts with those of TFAR or ACE.

fir_nev Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Tried as Rifleman (LAT) with the default setup just now and I could not hear any instructions at all. Resulted in a kick. No hard feelings. Could barely hear during my short conversation with @Copey earlier. Gauntlet 20160105 0745hrs (+8 GMT).

BenjaminHL Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 One thing that I have been having trouble with is that sometimes my sound just cuts out. I don't know the problem and have had it for sometime now. I also know it is a TFAR problem as activating my radio fixes the bug. Also it is across all gauntlet version. -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that box unchecked. But i tried checking it just because and there were no noticable difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostDragon Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 When I reinstall arma I will show you the settings I use so hopefully you can all see the issue I don't believe it's anything wrong with the mods just the way you have your game configured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
