[SOLVED] Sound Volume adjustment

[arb65912]

Gentlemen,

 

I can not find the corresponding thread but I remember reading that saving sound volume is hard to implement so every time the plane is reloaded, sound volume is set to 100%.

 

I perfectly understand that.

 

I was thinking that something else could be implemented to make the customer life easier.

 

Would it be hard to allow to drag ALL sliders together?

 

I think that option would make many user very happy.

 

Cheers, AJ

Ummm... can't that be done with your overall computer/speaker volume control?

[arb65912]

Yes BUT, I need the radio set to high volume because I have a hearing problem and at the same time I need other sounds turned down or they become too loud.

[JGregory]

There is no radio volume control in the Saab.  Is your "radio" another part of your computer setup? Does it have it's own volume control?  or am I missing something here?

[arb65912]

OK, I need to have the volume ( master volume for headphones ) high , it is overall sound output volume and has nothing to with X-Plane.

This way , with X-Plane sound maximized, I am able to hear and communicate with ATC.

 

With the situation described above, the maximum volume settings in SAAB are way too high and I need to crank them down individually to get a comfortable "mix"

 

You provided the adjustment for individual sound components by dragging each slider individually.

 

I asked simple thing, can I drag all sliders together in one slide?

 

It might be a hard thing to implement or very easy, I am not a programmer. 

 

I hope I explained it better now.

I understood what you wanted all along... now I now why you want it

 

it's something I will consider for the future... no promises though.

Thank you, Jim.

 

No promises but I still have a hope.

I generally have to do this on all planes when I fly on VATSIM.  Turn the plane's sound down, either from within X-Plane's audio control panel or through the plugin volume controls (every third party plane seems to implement this differently, so it's one of the first things I have to teach myself ), so that I can hear ATC, since xsquawkbox does NOT have a volume control..

Also I noticed that you have to turn up the audio panel's COM1 slider to see even the text ATIS when you've got the radio tuned to the ATIS frequency.  That was a nice touch, it makes sense and it's realistic (well, text ATIS isn't realistic, but you guys don't have control over that, and you certainly can't get a real ATIS with the audio panel set to zero volume in the real world ).

That tells me that I am not the only one and I hope Jim will decide to implement it in the future. 

 

I have COM1 Slider set to max. 

 

Thank you for the input SS8913. Cheers, AJ
