Sound Block uses 2 different Volume settings?

Baba Yaga shared this bug 5 years ago
Outdated

I have been away from space engineers for awhile and just came back to it. I use to have some sound mods set up so it plays music while I am cruising around and the music was coming from my sound blocks. Now there is a in-game ambient music that wasn't there before. When I use the music volume control, I cant hear my sound blocks. It is getting frustrating. Did some testing and found whats going on. Every sound that is played by the sound block that cant use the loop option, uses the 'Music Volume' control. While every sound the can be looped, uses the 'Sound Volume' control. Tested this with the 'default sounds' and modded sounds.

Don't know what happened but the recent minor update I had to download from steam fixed the issue.

Same issue here, the Soundblock Volume is linked to the Music Slider.

The only way i found to make it work was to delete or rename the MUS folder in the game directory:

Your Steam Directory\SteamApps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Audio

After that i could crank up the music slider and enjoy the soundblocks.

This is by no means a fix but a nice workaround.

I would still like to see Keen fix this since its already been half a year.

Still an issue, however thanks for the tip Avantus - I've been searching for a mod or info on how to disable the in-game music without turning down the music volume slider for about an hour now!

I know it's an old topic, but I just wanted to mention that I just tested this in vanilla and cannot reproduce this. Both audio looped or not is controlled by the Sound Volume slider, so it must be something to do with mods in use?

Though it would be nice if the ambient music faded out when a player gets near to a Sound Block and maybe upper set if combat music suddenly started as a clear warning of an enemy attack.
