BUG: Voice volume linked to sound volume in options

"There is a bug where the voice volume is linked to the sound volume. No matter what you have the voice volume set for, changing the sound volume brings down the voice volume as well. This bug has been around and reported for more than a year and it still hasn't been fixed. Come to think of it, it may have been , and probably was, around since the introduction of voice chat."

I refer to this quote as I made a post asking how to crank voice chat up even further, because I have a hard time communicating with people in-game. Turns out a bug keeps you from just sliding sound volume down to say 50% and maxing voice volume.



Thanks.

Is there a more efficient way to get a bug to the developers attention?

Yes, you can pm me with it :p
it is already reported, and again recently.
I'll bump it's priority

Thank you ironhorse. I came here to report this very thing as well. It's nearly impossible to hear voice comms in the heat of battle =/

While it's being worked on, is there a workaround for this, some sort of file edit perhaps?

The "sound volume" seems to actually be implemented as a "master volume".

Changing the sound volume
<!--fonto:Courier New--><span style="font-family:Courier New"><!--/fonto-->FMOD::System::get<b>Master</b>SoundGroup<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc--> and then <!--fonto:Courier New--><span style="font-family:Courier New"><!--/fonto-->FMOD::SoundGroup::setVolume<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc--> on it.


Changing the voice volume only
<!--fonto:Courier New--><span style="font-family:Courier New"><!--/fonto-->FMOD::ChannelGroup::setVolume<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->

Although I can't find detailed documentation to confirm it

Is this written in console, or? Can I put this into a .txt file or something for NS to launch with? :p
