Ah, that explains quite a bit. It threw me off not being able to
here nvda with the weapon changes etc. The thing your talking
about where windows raises the master volume is a generic windows
7 thing. If any of the programs listed in the volume mixer go
over the current master level, the master will rise to the
highest point. Lowering the master volume lowers all the programs
currently playing sound by the same amount, meaning that if you
had a program say 10% less than master and changed the master
volume, that program would raise or lower accordingly, but would
still be 10% lower than master.
Hope this makes sense,
John.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] thoughts on swamp
Hi.
I'm not Jonnie I admit, but being able to boost both sides
together too
would sure be nice. My game is still quiet, regardless of skype.
By the
way, what you're referring to when you told me about skype making
the
volume of other sounds decrease is a feature in win7 that is
found in
the sounds control pannel under the communications tab. It allows
you to
select whether or how much you want your volume of other sounds
to be
decreased when in a VOIP call. I usually have this hp's volume at
about
20 percent, but when I play swamp, I put it at 100 percent and
use NVDA
to read it instead of JAWS, as NVDA allows you to turn down the
speech
volume. I use it at about 20 percent and that's what I was doing
with
swamp though I didn't mention it in the review. If I'm not
mistaken
Shades of Doom uses the same language and technology as Swamp,
and it's
not quiet like that. If I have to, I'm happy to at least be able
to turn
it up at all, but it sure is quiet on my end. Also, a cool
feature in
win7 is that you can adjust the volume of running programs
individually
using the sound mixer aplet, but the sigmotel, IDT audio what
ever you
want to call it, in my hp pulls the master volume up when you
increase
the volume of something. So the only solution there is to turn
master
volume all the way up then bring down everything but swamp. That
messes
those other programs up when you're done playing and want to do
other
things, though. So My NVDA solution is ;probably the best for
now.
Thanks for bringing us this game. I'm pretty hooked on it. I'm
happy I'm
at least somewhat good at it. I'm lucky to be able to play
anything, and
I'm not half bad at swamp, at least not by my own standards. I'm
ready
to record the new lines for my voiceover whenever.
