Low Volume?

[Woodzie]

All sounds, music, effects, voices all sound significantly quieter then usual.
Since I bought this game the sounds have all been low volume to the point where peoples' voices are like whispers. Its hard to hear and frustraiting. Is there anyway I could possibly fix this?
Its not game breaking for me just somewhat of a nuisance.

Must be a computer specific bug. I've heard several people say this, yet it's not low on my computer at all.

Thanks for the reply. It seems as though out of all the games I have, this one is the only one having this issue.

I have the same problem with the sound....too low!

There are volume sliders in the game under options audio. Check them to make sure you are getting the audio you should. Also check the audio settings in windows when the game is running. alt-tab out and bring up the volume control panel and make sure the slider for Watchdogs is within 10% of the max volume, if not more.

I have the same issue with the volume in game at 100%. I had to turn my speakers to nearly 50%. All other games only need to be at 20 - 25%.
The sound is still clear though.

Same issue here. Dialogue is especially quiet compared to everything else, but ALL sound in this game is very quiet.

In-game volume is 100%, Windows volume mixer volume is 100%, and I have to crank my speakers to obscene levels just to hear the game clearly. Whenever I get a sound effect from Windows or Steam, it's deafeningly loud due to having the speakers cranked.

I'm using onboard sound on an Asus motherboard, latest drivers, all Windows updates installed, etc. Watch Dogs is the only game I have this issue with.

Oh, and I've tried with 3.5mm audio out, optical out, and HDMI out via my AMD video card. Same in all cases, extremely low volume.

It´s the audio engine of watchdogs.
I use a normaliser to keep audio levels at normal.
My Soundcard is a X-FI but you can give a look on your audio driver too -> Go to Control Panel | Sound | Playback | Properties | Enhancements and turn on Loudness Equalization.

Thanks for the tip, but that didn't help.

That makes everything in Windows louder. While the game is also louder, it is still much quieter than Windows, Steam, and everything else.

That's useless.

i have this problem too

[Quickhand69er]

Yeh this game is just lower volume then the rest of the games I have. Its annoying but easly fixed by turning up tv volume. Just have to remember to turn it back down before I play anything else.

Bump.

Why is this not patched yet? I don't like owning ridiculously broken software.
