discussion Sound on/off

[ShiaLabeouf]

Sound I leave on unless there are particularly loud/grating sound effects. Music I often turn off though. I don't want to be reminded of a degenerate lapse in my judgement when I hear a song over the radio in a public place.

 

[Giggly]

Sound off for me. Especially voice acting.

Same. I always find voice acting to reduce immersion rather than increase it.

 

[zedascebolas]

Also can't stand voice acting, but music and sound effects are always on unless they are horrible

 

[Beir]

Sound off or really low

 

[Sperrin]

Always on but since tons of non JAP games have no sound at all I often play music in the back round.

Opposite for me. Some voice acting is good, but the music is nearly always annoying.

 

[cszero]

sound on, Games with decent sound are rare, but those with decent sound stand out a lot

 

[K4r45u]

Sound is one of my favorite things, so I always leave it on. If the sound sucks it might even stop me from playing it in general.

 

[Bobman248]

I have the sound on but always set it at around 5%, but if it gets too annoying I turn it off.

 

[dereguedeixe]

Always off and i never felt like i needed it on

 

[User_111574]

I always mute it. It distracts me, especially if I'm going through a VN with a lot of text.

 

[badplottwist]

Off. I have yet to find a voice over that does moaning well.

 

[Cougar18]

Off. If I want background music I'll provide it myself

 

[offblest]

Sound on unless its music that's been repeating for like an hour

 

[frafildur]

I'll try a game at 20-33% volume for 15 minutes. If I'm into it, I keep it stable. If not, 0%.

 

[person985]

I usually keep sound off, the only times I really keep the sound on is when the story is really good or emotional

 

[Jakeswind]

I usually play with sound on and low volume.

 

[Kappa123hehexd]

Both sound and Music stay on, though lowered since most of the time they're too high by default. Voice acting always off though.

 

[Daisies]

Sound off except the rare circumstances where the game has voice acting lol. And occasionally pretty good music that is actually implemented well, but usually the music is the reason I have the game muted. Some devs love to add the most jarring music to their games.

 

[tyktamsyl]

I usually launch up a game and immediately turn off the music and lower voices and sounds to a little below 50 percent or even 30 percent. My reasons are because usually the music is obnoxious, or I prefer to watch a video on the side, or I keep the game running and do other stuff sometimes and I don’t want to keep turning it all off and on.
