Playing PR without damaging your ears

[Pronck]

Effects on 50%
Voip on 100%
Music on 10%

I have my headset on 60% of the volume (I use the Gamecom headset, very B.I.G)
I also take of my headset when firing heavy weapons sometimes to make sure I don't blow up my ears.
I still need a good way to hear people in tanks and helicopters though.

The equaliser enhancement and the do nothing option seemed to work pretty well! I could hear distant things pretty good and the mumble/voip was ok'ish to hear. A lot better than before. Thanks for those tips.

Haha i find that so funny. You are playing on really low sound volume and still think its to much xD
The playstyle i'm using in PR is 100% dependent on maximum volume, My headset,PC and PR is maxed out all the time. The only downside with this is that i have the radio com bug...

I've reduced system volume to 50% for all applications when using headphones.

Watch out with doing that tho! I'm not kidding when I say I have ringing ears. I don't go to concerts or go out to clubs with loud music. PR was the only game I played a for a few years with a headphone. My PS3 just used the TV speakers. So it could only be my gaming habit that could have caused the ringing.

I have the ingame volume set at highest or I wouldnt call this realism.

the biggest problem is playing with headphones is while your in a vehicle, its way too loud, my ingame is at 80% and headphones are at 60%, still its too loud inside a vehicle, you cant hear your self think.

also having headphones that have sound cancellation will destroy your ears while gaming, for example the g35

I got voip @ 100%, game sounds on 40% or so. Too hard to hear people otherwise.

Using speakers of course, you have to feel that bass!

I play with SteelSeries Siberia V2 Full-Size Gaming Headset, it's nice but slightly too small and presses the ear stems of my eyeglasses into my ears.

I am using a Gateway Desktop Mobo with onboard Realtek Azalia ALC8XX onboard audio chipset.

I keep PR in game sounds at 100%. Music at like 20%.
In Windows , Volume Mixer, Playback Devices, I put PRMumble and TS at 90% of Master volume, I put PR.exe at 100% of master volume, and I put Master Volume at 18%.

I also use the Reatek HD Audio Sound Manager to turn ON Sound Equalization, and customize the audio filters to increase the Treble so I can hear PRmumble/TS better and (Especially) footsteps in PR.

I've given up all my PR audio secrets young grasshopper, now I must set off into the sunset.
