Sound Volume

Am I the only one with the problem?

I have the sound volume sliders at their default value (like I had in DA), which gives me a nice and pleasant interface feedback. However, as soon as I enter combat, my eardrums get busted. The sound effects are loud enough that I can FEEL my subwoofer. If I turn the effect volume down so that I can listen to battles without going deaf, I can't hear any other sound effect (clicks etc.).

This problem is the same that some people (me included) always had with ground combat: I skipped the animation not because it was ugly, but because it was far too loud.

Combat volume (specifically weapon volume) is indeed too loud, whether in fleet battles or not. As much fun as phasors are, my house-mates don't appreciate the sweet sound of victory...

I'm with you on that. It needs to be adjusted down a bit.

Also, when starbases start firing, I first press the 'mute' button on my head phones..
