Game is too quiet?

[Evilbones76]

How come no one is mentioning this - the only sound I hear is when a popup displays or something happens. Apart from that its dead quiet. This is a major step back from the original..

Or is it just me? Am I missing a setting or something, lol.

Gods say, you might be playing mission#19 "Itjtawy" where the music is really broken.

There is definitely something wrong with your sound (settings).

The game has a revised version of the original soundtrack and just like the original you can hear the occasional bird/animal sounds.

On top of that selecting/placing a building makes a sound related to said building.

I have noticed that turning on/off my volume or switching audio devices can sometimes cause the game to be a bit more silent for a minute or so.

I have not had the issue op describes, tweaking the volume settings lets me hear ambient and music at high volumes with quiet SFX. Maybe my speakers have a higher volume than op

The reason no one is mentioning it is because it isn't happening to most people. (like, anyone)

Check your audio settings. You should be getting background music, the hubub of people in the city, bird songs from gardens, priests chanting occasionally, and other ambient sounds. If you're not, either your settings are borked or you've hit a bug.

Hi guys, yep definitely got some sound issues, my end apparently. Playing Thinis - with music off, and all I can here is the bow/arrows from the hunters, that's it. Strange, when I click the Bazaar, I can then hear ambient noises briefly, but only when I click the Bazaar, oh and when a popup displays I get a brief bit of ambient.

Tested all my speakers and its fine for every other game I play. It's fine for the Original game as well.

Hmmm..

the stellar music is all you really need imho lol. The city sounds are weird, they'll get loud out of nowhere and then disappear

Yep, thank you - thought I was going crazy! Very strange, the loudest noise comes from the arrows being shot!

I have the same issue on this map.
I don't know if it's on purpose or not.
