PR Noise-Problem Solution - Page 8

Chip0 · 2016-02-21, 14:47

I used for months (and appreciated a lot) Spook's solution with my former PC (with an Asus Xonar sound card)

but I couldn't make it work with my newer Motherboard, a MSI with Realtek HD audio chip and X-fi Cinema software; windows 7 Professional 64

I've had a frustrating experience in PR the last month, compared to the past... after some days I found a software setting similar to the experience I had before (volume level, positional sounds, etc) .. but the Mumble volume was always too low when I was on vehicles

I usually play as infantry so I somehow accepted it but yesterday night I played as gunner in MikeDude's tank.... a disaster! I could barely hear Mike speaking in local ! I can't believe I was able to hit some enemies...

I tried everything: using and compiling alt script, launching it as administrator... nothing worked;

finally, I found a workaround:

during the new install of PR, I wrongly considered my card as a X-fi EAX sound card (but it's only software emulated, instead.. I only had the high option in the settings, not the very high one!) and I flagged the EAX box in the Audio settings of PR launcher so today I simply removed the flag from the launcher and everything works again, with the standard script!

Cheers,
Chip0

p.s.: Sorry Mike for getting you mad!

Took the liberty to overhaul the script.

What changed?

No more need to manually compile: Necessary paths are set in a separate settings.ini file
ts3_win64 supported
Automatically detects if ts3_win32 or ts3_win64 is running
Automatically detects if you don't have admin permissions and will request them.
Without admin rights the tool cannot manipulate the volumes at all (at least on Win8+, probably Win7 as well)

How to install:

Extract the folder wherever you want.
Open the settings.ini inside
Adjust the GamePath and nircmdPath to fit your setup.
Run the PRVolumeStd.exe. This should launch the PRLauncher. You can test if it is working by using the hotkeys now and checking if volume levels of TS3/Game/Mumble change in Window's volume mixer.
Profit

If you want to customize the hotkeys or volume profiles, you currently still need to recompile the script, that's why the .ahk file is included.

The compiled .exe offers 6 presets, reachable by pressing
LWin and 1 (up to LWin and 6).

I'm currently looking into ways to move these to the settings.ini as well to make it more flexible

This works perfectly, thank you!

The file from Step one is no longer available - any chance you can upload it again?

I've been using this for years, and wouldn't enjoy playing PR at all without it.

Thanks again Spook!, and Senshi for re-vamping it.

Find post #73 in this thread, Senshi's post, download the .zip file at the end of his post, and follow his installation instructions.

If you play PR a few days while making use of the features of PR Volume, you will not go back to managing without it.

In no time you will be hitting the Win-4 and Win-1 keys all the time without even thinking about it. I actually use Win-1, Win-2, Win-3, and Win-4, depending on the situation... I use four sound levels.

Don't rob yourselves of this God-send, install it, try it. You'll never go back.

*****

Edit: What do they mean when they tell you to compile, or recompile the .ahk file?, some of you will surely ask.

Well, if you want to edit the auto-hotkey file to customize PR Volume, you may want to edit the .ahk file, and if you do, then after you've edited and saved this file, go into Windows Explorer, find the .ahk file, right-click on it, and you should see in the context menu "Compile Script". Click on this, and your .ahk file will be compiled (which basically means that it creates for you a new PRVolumeStd.exe file... it creates a new executable.

Note: In order for you to see this "Compile Script" option in your context menu, you will first need to have installed Auto-Hotkey onto your system.

Bumpitiy-bump!

I have noticed that there are no download links that are working at the moment so I decided to upload the .zip I have on my local storage. Every setting is reverted to default and it is with the changes made by Senshi.

Enjoy friends!

Kind regards,
