Voice Chat Volume Issues

(ENDgie) #1

I found that voice chat in db tends to be relatively quiet compared to the game audio (at least compared to other games I play). Also, while people hear me clearly in other games and voice chat programs (sometimes my comp TF2 team even thought I was too loud in mumble at times), people say I’m too quiet to understand in db unless I speak quite a bit louder than my speaking voice.
Do you guys think volume input and output sliders should be added to the options like with other games and voice chat programs? Or is there something else that you think should be done?

A better solution is to use TS3, Raidcall or the official voice overlaid Discord

That doesn’t help with talking to people in pubs or solo que ranked though, which is what I do.

The voice chat in game is pretty horrible. The quality is alright but the volume is pathetic. I have to turn my game volume down to like 20-30% with voice volume on 100% to hear people properly.

I also hate the fact that you can’t mute people in game. You can mute their text or something but not their voice from memory. There’s some people who are just a little too enthusiastic when it comes to voice comms haha.

We mostly just use discord now.

Theres a bug in the current build where muting isn’t working, but it instead lets sound “through” despite the fact person is muted from your end. For what I’d estimate its a very high priority fix as it affects the atmosphere and thus enjoyment of the public games quite a lot. When it works though it will mute both text and voicechat.

Overall I absolutely agree on this that how game handles microphone sound is pretty damn bad at the moment. Some people just can’t hear even if you scream your lungs out and others get their ears pounded by a ten ton sledgehammer even when you whisper. Inconsistency seems to be the thing even if people’s volumes are set optimally for VOIP (like yours, 100% receive + master volume and some dozens of %'s of SFX).
