With the Kronos release (published on June 3rd) the Audio team presents exciting new features and improvements: detailed audio customization! Advanced audio settings will give you much more control over specific sounds, if they are played and their respective volume.

Read all about these fantastic audio improvements in CCP WhiteNoiseTrash's latest dev blog Audio Customization Coming In Kronos!

Eve has sound?

That awkward moment at the Gentlemen's Club when you see your sister on the stage....and you're not sure where to put the money....

Thanks for the work. Maybe I'll try turning on the sound again.

I see two issues right away.
The order of the items is different in "advanced audio settings" and "inactive client sound".

Also, they have different names. "Hull warning" vs "low hull warning"

The naming, I'll fix. Like jumpgates, should be named Stargates and so on.
but the order and other things are destined to be different, because certain things would never be audible in an inactive client, like UI interaction sounds - so therefore there are things that can't be in both, making it inevitable that they are different.

This is great! I always love hearing my weapons fire, but it was never loud enough for me. Now I can instead turn everything else down and my own audio up -> Instant profit. Time to make my apartment shake every time my guns open fire! Lol

It's awesome.

Needs to be in a tree view though, so items can be grouped / select / deselect all.

Agreed, the order must be different, you cannot get all of them to line up perfectly. But you can get closer. For example, in one list the shield/armor/hull warning sounds are above the station sounds, in the other list they are below the station sounds.

Favorite Kronos feature :) Team Klang - you do a great job. First by integrating the jukebox and now allowing layered control of sound - bravo. I've always played with sound on (and as white noise at work; turn on the client, open SISI or hover near a planet - profit). All that to say, great job. EVE sounds are underrated so it is good to see they are not neglected by you.

great sound, should be loud :)

Never heard this!

Scanner sounds? After a sweep of the system?

Can we get a button under the middle column with ALL MUTE, ALL MID, ALL FULL? thx.

That would be a nice starting place for your config.

I agree.
The system will be constantly monitored and updated as we go.

so expect changes and more stuff to come :)
the tree view (maybe not so much) - but grouping, select all, select some, invert selection. etc. all in development.

can't say when, but part of the long term plan.

Could we get a slider specifically for the new third person warp effect? I'd like to be able to hear it without having to endure the station propaganda exterior and all that stuff :D

the 'inactive client' settings are good support for the way players use eve online, well done

Havent turned sound for ages (except for voice). Are the armor/hull warnings etc still the annoying beeps they were?
Need more elegance. Better yet, give players a few more in-house choices for the klaxons ....or a Star Trekish computer voice ala Aura.

A typical setup would be to either have the master or music always checked, especially if you are using several clients, this would allow for the music to be playing all the time

So checking the Shield Warning will make it so that you won’t hear any kind of warning sound from your shields on the clients you are not using.


So do we check the box if we want the sound or if we don't? Maybe I'm just tired and being thick right now but I read that as first sentence meaning we check it to hear that sound, the second we check it to mute. Maybe the second is meant to say UNchecking and just a typo?

fwiw the former makes more sense to me, checked=plays, unchecked=muted

It's been talked about.
not when something new is on local, but new ship on grid - could be possible.
unless cloaked of course.
