In-Game audio issue, no proper Development tag also...

[MagicofGaia]

Two Issues:

1) There is no development tag for issues with the confguration menu or tools in game. Please observe making a new tag

2) The in-game audio adjustment menu needs to be fixed.

Here's the scenario: Setup utility has audio enabled, I'm in FFXIV, and I go to the Audio menu, and I adjust all audio sliders to about 10-15% volume levels. This does not actually adjust 'ALL' in game volume despite reducing, 'ALL' available sliders. Weather effects, some system sounds still play at 100%.

I do not want to play in complete silence, but if I'm listening to music while I play, or I'm playing in bed while my girlfriend naps, I want to simply be able to adjust my in-game volume as needed.

Suggestion: Implement a 'Master Volume' slider option, or just make the other three actually cover all in-game volume.

There was a topic on this before, where a moderator responded with some information.

I couldn't find the post, but the devs stated that they know about the problem.. but because of the way the game was designed, adjusting the ambient sound is not currently possible.

They want to fix it, but it may take time. There are "more important" things to be doing.

I found it, my apologies. I searched "sound" first, and didn't find anything, but after your post I searched "Volume" and found it. The Windows 7 sound mixer response fixed it for me.
