Gaming Volume

[Speedwagon]

How loud do you put the volume when you play video games?

Me I have it at a really low volume so as to not be a bother to my roomates.

 

[Link XL1]

i prefer to blast halo's orchestra as loud as i can to drown the assholes living next me who like to play deafeningly loud noise they call music (rap). its not music...

 

[Vampire cat]

I turn the volume in all games down to about 50% so I can hear my clannies on Ventrilo... For sounds, it's not very loud and I always use a headset...

 

[drbarno]

depends on the console, if its the DS I tend to have it on silent unless I have headphones in and then I would have it on max, but on the Wii(or anything else that would require a TV) I would have it on the standard volume of the TV.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Depends, offline I have it moderately loud but online I mute it so I can listen to music.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

30-35% sometimes 40%.

Depends whats happening, if its constant explosions and thing I have it lower. But if less is happening, louder.

 

[Owlslayer]

Well, when games have great music, i actually lower the other stuff so i can hear it even better. Like in MW2, i loved the music there. Or Burnout paradise, though i did skip some of the songs.
But yeah, overall my volume is quite loud. Only when using the mic. i lower it.

It depends on what I'm using to listen to the game with. If I'm running it through my surround sound system, I crank it up as loud as I think I can get away with. If I'm just using headphones, I put it at a reasonable volume, so as not to blast out my eardrums.

 

[Direbetus]

Depends on the game, really. If I'm playing some roleplaying game that doesn't really require my ears, such as Dragon Age: Origins, I'll blast my current Spotify playlist instead. But if I'm playing a game where sounds are important, such as a horror game or a shooting game, then I will turn up the volume on the tv pretty loudly instead.

 

[RheynbowDash]

Whenever im playin Call of Duty, full blast with my Turtle Beaches on.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Low volume. Don't want to wake up the whole house. Extra low when I get tired of the in game music and want to play my own.

 

[Tron-tonian]

Usually fairly low, and with headphones on, so I can hear the wife or child. If, for some reason, I'm alone in the house, then all bets are off - I've got a nice set of Logitech 5.1 speakers, dammit! It's nice to feel an explosion now and then...

 

[Leg End]

Ehh... average volume, maybe 40-60%.

But when shit gets epic, 150 MOTHERFUCKING %.

ON A SHITTY 12" 7-15 YEAR OLD TV WITH ONLY MONO SOUND.

WITH A BUILT IN VCR.

COME AT ME BRO!!!

 

[x0ny]

Master Volume 50%
Game volume 40%
I use headphones

 

[Ophi]

Loud and clear.

Headphones if possible.

 

[Anarchemitis]

Headphones, medium-low.
Team Fortress 2- no background music, distracts from gameplay, because hearing your opponents can be integral

Sid Meier's Railroads- I listen to my own background music because it fits

 

[MrShowerHead]

I usually put the volume up to 11. Depends on the game, really...
