Is it just me or has the game's ambient volume become way too quiet?


Recommended Posts

Ambient sound is amazing in DST, but ive noticed that recently its been super quiet.

It used to be that you could hear different creatures in different biomes making sounds in the background, different birds as well but now i can barely hear it.

The unavoidable insanity sound loop already distracted from those great sounds but now as they seem to have become quiet i can barely hear them when completely sane.

 

Was this intentional? Is it a bug in the update or should i be reinstalling the game?

Unfortunately it is "intended".

I suppose the developer reasoning behind this was along the lines of "the game was too loud on my computer, that ought to mean it'll be just fine for everyone else on a near infinite spectrum of different audio setups and configs."

TL;DR get used to manually turning up your audio hardwares whenever you launch DST. 

 

Some voices are too low, music cant decide between being nearly impossible to hear or overbearing, ambient volume is too low, and most mods that add audio are either broken or way too loud now.

Messing around with volume levels has never produced a satisfying result for me 

I genuinely hate the update to audio, and its created a number of bad bugs for Klei.
