@REAPEROFSOULS06 Seams to be a problem with the Origin App, my game locks the volume to 90%; but if I put the Origin App in offline mode and decrease the windows volume, it works now.

Wow thanks so much. I put the EA app into offline mode and like magic the volume would actually save my changes in the volume mixer. Never seen a game do that before, not even Dead Space 2 which I also played through the EA app. I wonder how a launching application can do that?

    Bump. Going offline works. This issue is cringe. How in the world can you have code so spaghettified that I have to disable my app's NETWORK, when I often want to play with friends, in order fix one of the most fundamental mechanics of any application to ever exist. 

    Only EA would manage to stab a hook into the kidney of a fundamental function like AUDIO and latch it to their featureless app with their online-only towhook pulley. Good lord.

      August 2024 and still the only fix is setting the ea app to offline mode and then booting the game. Can't believe I have to do this in order for nfs most wanted 2012 to not nuke me ears.
