Guild Wars 2

Player instruments are suddenly quiet. I recorded a video a week ago and compared the relative sound levels, and its way way off. Currently, the background wind of hoelbrak is louder than my instrument, and I have environ sounds at half, and instruments at max. Bell is the worst, with everything except player instrument at lowest, and that at max, it is still hard to hear. My computer volume was also pretty high, louder than I usually play at.

Anyone else notice this? I’d like the relative sound of instruments TO BE ABLE to sound as loud as everything else. If people don’t like them, they can always lower their own player instrument volume slider or mute it.

Wow… that is 5 minutes between OP and Red Post…. Must be because it is a Gem Store Item…..

If I put Firekissed armor on my Mesmer will the problems with that class get addressed any quicker?

Oh, by the way, Also check your other audio settings in the game, I think the instruments are grouped with ambient audio (not sitting in front of game) and if you have adjusted that, i would recommend stand around someone playing and change the different audio sliders if the “surround setting” doesnt fix it.

I’ve recorded youtube vids before any they sounded great, but sometimes, it just isn’t loud enough. But switching to weapons and using skills and then back to the instrument can have a dramatic effect on the volume, from no sound to the level I’d expect it when I have it maxed. I checked my headset and it’s just set on stereo, but I’ve set it into my 7.1 sound system with no change in volume in any of the satellites.

Edit: maybe I’m just lucky for getting a reply instantly, btw, TY Vaughn
Edit 2.0: the instrument is not ambient, you can move the sliders and hear the change in volume in real time. I checked that already

Best option in the game is the ability to turn off the instruments played by other players. That ’ish would have made me quit going to any area where others might use those horrid gem store things.
