Volume of Music Stings too loud/Stereo Quiet

Playing the latest build, 64 bit, Mods are disabled.

The volume of music stings for emotions, entering a lot, gaining a skill point and evicting a family are too loud in my opinion. They also don't appear to respond to any volume setting. I alternated turning each setting of volume down to Zero and the music stings still played at their full volume. Every other sound from the game is at an appropriate sound level.

I know mood stings can be turned off, but the others can't. 

In addition, the music playing from stereos I typically had at "Medium" which was adequate.  But now, "Medium", and "low" are barely audible while "high" seems like it's the "medium" volume.

  • Alright---

    So, in the end, I had a mod that unintentionally affected the sound of music from the stereos as well as buy/build.

    With this mod removed, the stereo/build and buy play fine. But, I do think the music stings are just a tad too loud.

  • Hi @daleylife

    I have no issues with this

    Could you try updating your sound drivers

    What kind of sound card do you have ?

    Sorry, tried to edit the above post, but didn't get to it in time before your reply: 

    Updated my drivers to their current version, released just a few weeks ago. 

    Now, music from the stereos is VERY quiet. Worse than before. Same goes for the piano.

    Music on loading screens play absolutely fine, but the music while in build/buy mode is like the stereo: I can barely hear it.

    Other sound effects play fine--- played regular music out of the game and there's no issues there.

    All Volume Settings in the game are at 100%.

    Good you found the reason

    I didn't think mods would cause such an issue but I guess I know better next time.

    Please only post bugs on a vanilla game on the bug forum

    I would post on the feedback forum at the official forum for the volume being too loud for you
