Background Mp3 Ambience Problems

Anybody else find changing the volume of halflife in game will have no effect on this ambience and it will remain at full volume? I find it VERY annoying since I use headphones and often drop my volume to around 0.15 etc, and the ambience still plays and full volume blowing my eardrums out.

I ended up replacing all the ambience with very short, blank, low quality mp3s. No more noise that cant have its volume altered, and I get a better FPS to boot.

Anybody else have the same problem? Is there a more elegant solution?

    I think you can set music volume in customise -> advanced.

    I'm not talking about music. There is actual background ambience that is in MP3 format.

    Unfortunately, mp3s aren't affected by Halflife's volume setting :-/ I'm not sure if this can be amended or not...

    There should be a little knob on your headphones to turn down the overall volume. If not, then get a set of Plantronics Audio 80 or something. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    (oh, and for those who don't like solutions that cost money, my Plantronics Audio 80 was the best computer purchase I've made in a while. Just around $30-35, and that's really cheap for the quality you get. Go for the Audio 90 version if you don't need to have them fold up.)
