discussion Sound on/off

[Boris0304]

Nah dont have idea who want to listen it, moaning OK if there is an animation, but in other cases OFF

 

[siegberd]

mostly switched on but not so loud

 

[ghostwerx]

I set the sound at 10% for the first bit of the game to listen if it has decent sound. 90% of the time after that it goes to mute.

 

[katmoxxi]

Sound on low volume

 

[Berzz]

I keep it at low volume, but I still want some music and sounds, even if it's not great, just the switching of music tracks is nice for the immersion

 

[Ryuji]

99% of the time I turn it off, mostly because I really dislike the sexual sounds, some games here and there I let just the music or ambient sound on, but never the sexual ones

 

[VermillioN]

I usually turn only the music off a put some chill lofi/low beat at the back. funny tho, i've been doing this with pretty much all porn/non-porn game since i was teenager.

At least running on Linux, Ren'Py is always far too loud out of the box. So moving all volume sliders far left is one of the first things I do with a new Ren'Py game.

I am inconsistent as to whether I turn sound off entirely. If there are AI voices or there is silly voicing with a few words and phrases they have little to do with what is said in the text, then I switch off the sound. Even if there is a separate volume slider for sound, I almost never use it. Otherwise I often keep the sound running at very low volume. Sometimes I use headphones, but usually I don't bother.

I turn off dude voices immediately. I'm here to immerse myself as the character and not hear some other dude grunt...

 

[noaway]

Sound off. Music and voices can kill the immersion sometimes if not done right.

 

[fallfallen]

Sound on but i turn the music low. music is usually to repetitive

 

[albatross]

Sound on, but not too loud.

 

[User_9860]

almost always mute. i wish more games had good sound

 

[Redditer2024]

usually ON but if some music bothers me then OFF.

 

[Monseigneur]

I always turn it on. I just plug in my earbuds.

 

[xatfx]

Sound off

 

[grimsbysteve]

Off, otherwise my other half would hear it across the living room. I live dangerously, but not THAT dangerously!

 

[random6969]

If the sound and music start to bother me I will turn them off but only if they start bothering me.

 

[DNS2022]

most of the time clicking "mute all" takes about as much effort as was put into the sounds you're muting

I completely agree.

It's very rare that the sound files, let alone the background music, adds anything to the story or game.
Why some dev's do a reboot because of them thinking that some new music files will make a difference ... I really don't understand.
Not to mention those that think that the splash screen needs something that blasts your speakers out.

 

[Youshallfuck]

I keep sound on and music low except if it bangs then its louder.
