Volume on the Title Screen is WAY too loud

[Sapador]

I have togled of the music button on the top left corner, but the sound effects when pressing buttons are still on, and very loud.

I have turned down the in game volumes as well. But the in game volume controls only affect the sound effects on the main menu (New • Load • Co-op • Exit) AFTER you have loaded a game and "Exited (back) To Title" at least once on that session.

Every time I start a new session (Steam → play Stardew Valley) the volume of the game before loading my farm is at 100%, which is too loud for me.

Am I missing something? Do you guys know any workaround for that? Thanks ✌️

Boot up SVD, then go into your volume mixer in your operating system (loudspeaker symbol in your task-bar on windows or under system option, no clue how it goes for Mac or divers Linux OS')

Turn down the game colume there.

This is a decent way to fix it, but its not a good way to fix it

This lowers the volume for the game overall, including the post title screen where volume isn't an issue.

I do honestly think that they game should just slightly lower their default volume for the title screen.

Like the dev needs to look at this issue and fix it.

The best way IMO would be making the sound on title screen respect the in game custom volumes. If the player want it loud, be it. But if the player has set the volumes down, why the heck the audio on title plainly ignores it? Anyway, the workaround provided here worked for me.

Still an issues 18 months later, yes there are work around but hopefully the dev can actually address it with the next update instead of every new player getting deafened :p I play on about 5% volume and that is comfortable for me but the main menu music is still INSANE

We just had a major update... how did the volume issue on the title screen still NOT get fixed?

The above work around is an issue on my computer thanks to me doing a bunch of sound things on it. I need to uninstall all of that so that I can actually use the volume settings on my computer as they where intended... but I fear doing so will mess other things up and then I am just... out in the water with no boat and I can't swim.

Yeah, this is sad.

You shouldn't worry about that, as you'd only have to tweak the sound volume of Stardew Valley specifically.

Here's how it looks like when I'm reducing it to 50% on Windows 10:

But you should be able to do the same on Windows 11, with a slightly different interface. If not, here's how you access the old volume mixer.

How long has this thing been an issue and its STILL not fixed?? I play at about 5% too and I'm WAY too lazy to fix it in sound settings. The menu is deafeningly loud still :// Dev please, this can't be this hard to fix?
