First of all i know its a bug and i hope it will fixed, but lets start from begin. I buyed amplituner Yamaha RX-360 and two big columns with great audio possibilities, No problems since 4 months, only in Arma 3 i have mentioned sounds way to quiet. Firefights on close distance are terrible at this time beacuse close shoots in my direction are barrely hearable (on my previous audio system AS WELL) so this is bug, but rest of sounds should be able to tweak in equalizer. Please give me some advice beacuse google didnt helped me in this case. I dont use any 3rd party software, only original Realtec HD audio manager delivered by audio drivers - up-to-date.

Change the arma Sound settings not the Equalizer. I know that arma can be awesomely loud. One time i got asked why there was war in my room when i played on a 5.1 sound System. Try to enable and disable surround.

Do you think i didnt tried? I tried everything, and its game related. Who downvoted this? I tried all settings with and without equalizers, with and without surrounding, with all settings in game and its still quiet. Only setting in equalizer good is "dance", but dialogs speaken by human is too quiet as well (i dont mean radio - its good, only dialogs speaked by your commander in campaign, user missions etc.)

Did you tried to use headphones? Or some other device for reference?

What i want to say is when this is a game problem than it should affect more people. Thats why i help you to find the problem but i dont think its a bug in arma. I think that it is some setting in your Windows or equalizer.

Could you pls post screenshots of all your sound setting (windows and 3rd party)

Well i know its a problem of my hardware (similar ticked created by me - ignored). ON headphones its OK. Only way to make dialogs louder is equalizer setted to "dance". All sounds in arma 3 settings are on the same level, with music louder. Rest of settings are default

The setting with "16" you can put on max.
The Asus can handle that without problems. Is the soundsystem connected directly to your pc or are there any amplifier? If there is anything where you can put in headphones try it there.Find out where the sound is correct and where it gets changed.

Well, my t stereo colums are connected via amplituner (Yamaha RX-360), when i connect headphones i use front in my PC chasis (not via amplituner). Problem is with how amplituner give the sound - it is not clearly designed for games. As a temponrary i installed audio driver not from Realtec site (2.79) but from ASUS site (1.87) and used JSRS2.2 - problem is gone - i dont know exacly what fixed it, but i'll back with report.

BTW sound sources have nothing with it, it limit sound number to this setting. It eat lot of CPU.

OK, i tested it without JSRS and its a little bit worse, but not as much as on 2.79. Looks like older driver works better on my PC I also disabled all equalizers, surroundings etc. I updated all drivers from ASUS site, and Arma 3 runs like a charm now (thanks to AI Suite 3). This ticket can be marked as resolved.

Try the headphones on the amplituner. And look what windows has selected as soundsystem

Windows detected Speakers 2.0 Stereo, Heaphones on amplituner seems to work OK, but still worse than on Chasis entry.

On what input di you have your sound on the amplituner?

PC: On rear lime (stereo, front speakers).
Amplituner : Front speakers, AUX channel
