i am looking for a solution to get all games and aplications on the same audio level

Closed

so the problem some games have for example dirt3 is that the sound is so low even if i put my windows mixer on full not to mention how this wil give me a hearth attack if someone dares to chat to me when i have it like that (my normal is 30)

what i am looking for is another mixer that i can use besides the one windows profides
it needs to be able to goto 200% on dirt3 for example while leaving all other aplications as before

whoever comes up whit the perfect solution for this problem can have a free pick of my trading list

i even hate it more that the music on the radio (while driving) is low, than when there commercial they shout. it is a problem.

might want to check dirt 3's audio settings... I've always found it too loud myself.. always end up having to crank it down...
While there make sure its set to what ever speaker configuration you have. Surround sound/stereo/headphones/etc

i got it all on full stil i can barely hear anything i also tried that dirt3 sound mod that improved it just a bit
and dirt3 is just one of the games that have this problem for me most are ok but some are just to low

lol just experience that helps here haha. Make sure you have your sound card's software installed also, RealTek and Creative both usually have software much better than the Windows built in stuff.

Yup yup, no problem. If you insist, I'd say Postal since I haven't broke down and bought that or it's sequel yet and that may motivate me haha. I'm passing out here though atm!

Yeah those settings are not good for making music, but good for balancing your system out for multiple apps.
