CS2 audio low?

[Ice_]

I have my volume at about 60-70% in windows and it's almost enough to destroy my ears while playing some games.
Playing CS2 however at this volume makes it really hard to hear important audio cues. Raising the volume to 100% in Windows helps but not optimal at all because I don't want to change the universal volume depending on the game - I rather adjust the volume in each game instead.
I tried raising the volume above 1.0 in console but it wont allow me...
I've chosen the right audio output etc.
All audio settings at max except for menu stuff etc.

Any ideas?

Having the same problem. Yesterday it was working fine but now I can hardly hear anything. No sound settings were changed in between playing yesterday and today.

Use this workaround (applicable for all headphones models) https://www.reddit.com/r/LogitechG/comments/v1t3c2/logitech_g_pro_quiet_permanent_fix_2022/

Worked perfectly for me with pre-amplyfying set to +7.5dB. Now I can hear everything~

Thanks, I'll take a look at that!
I just wish Valve took notice of this audio issue, it seems to me to be somewhat common. I rather avoid installing third party tools to fix their issue 🙄

Having the same issue, one day it worked just fine and since the latest patch it is horrible.

It is a Windows Sound Issue.
It can be resolved in Windows settings System Sound Volume Mixer.
my CS2 volume was set at 8.

I FIXED IT (for me...)

CS2 volume was always low for me since I came from CS:GO. All my Windows sound settings were ok: all the volume bars to 100%, no crazy equalizer settings, I even reinstalled my sound drivers 3 times to no avail...

Then I set the Windows Sound settings on my 2nd screen and started CS2 on my main screen. What did I see? Every time I opened CS2, my Windows Master Volume dropped to 24! I don't know why. Whenever I tabbed out of the game, the master volume would automatically go to 100 again.

With my keyboard shortcuts (Fn+F3, you might have different ones) I set the Windows master volume in-game to 100 again. Took me long enough...
