We all tell each other to Listen to the comms and get frustrated after calling that spy/flank/people behind but no one seems to acknowledge till they die to it...

So...

How do you have your tf2 and mumble volumes configured.

I've tried various settings but there's always been a HUGE variance in volume within mumble. Since there isn't a Normalizer, I've raised the Output volume considerably high for a season (of highlander) and couldn't hear jack-squat from the game at all. Next couple scrims I'd play with attenuation but that got annoying and today I finished a 6s pug wondering what the hell did my teammates say?

I just wrote "volume 0.05" into TF2's console, seemed pretty good for me.

You can always use mumble's audio ducking feature which will automatically turn down the sound of other applications when others are transmitting in mumble, although, it may become a tad bit annoying with the audio levels constantly changing.

A small hint is to always turn up your headphones to the maximum volume it can go, then lower the volume to a decent level using Window's volume control panel.

volume: .05
speaker configuration: headphones
sound quality: low

Where are you turning up your headphones?

On the inline volume controller? Where else would you turn it up.

My main volume and mumble is set at 40% in my volume mixer.

Tf2 is on like the very first tick on the slider

My mumble is @ 15% volume tf2 is at like the 3rd tick and my foobar is at like -20db 32/100 windows volume, fuck loud noises. Even with all that mumble is just barely louder than my foobar, and my game volume is loud enough to hear rockets from across the map, but quiet enough that i cant hear any voice chat
