    Very Low Sound

    So I play with a headset plugged into my computer and during the betas, everything was great. Now my sound is so low I can barely hear it. Of course I've restarted the application and played with all settings.

    I have maxed everything in game and out of game on my computer and I can barely hear the sounds in-game. Other applications on my computer play sound fine, such as watching a movie or whatnot. I can hear others in Mumble and such perfect fine. It's just the game.

    Anyone have an idea of what happened or had this happen to them?

    Using a logitech headset perhaps? I have a G930 and sometimes the audio get's all whacked up and I need to unplug the USB dongle and plug it back in.

    Nah it's not a Logitech headset. It's also a 3.5mm plug in and not a USB headset. Plus, sound comes in normally when I use other programs and applications like media player to watch a movie or whatnot. It's strictly FFXIV that is so low it's almost impossible to hear. Not sure what the deal is. Thanks for the reply though!

    If possible check the Windows Volume mixer and make sure it's not just Final Fantasy 14 being set to low. Location: http://imgur.com/QkCg3vt

    I will have to check that out. I didn't know each program had its own mixer, or at least I've never noticed it before when I brought up the settings. Gonna feel pretty dumb if that's it, although I will drive myself crazy trying to figure out how I lowered the volume in a setting I didn't know existed haha.

    Thanks much!
