The cutscene's volume is much higher than the in-game volume. I haven't changed any volume settings, this is just on default, and the in-game voices are too low, while the cutscenes are ear-blasting loud.

This is on PC, btw. And it's not the stuttering effect, its the actual loudness

I had the same problem.

Same problem here. No amount of messing with sfx/music/dialogue ratios in the option menu did anything either.

[Teahouse Fox]

You know, I noticed that too, but I figured I was a bit distracted multi tasking at the time.

[shadaroth]

sound effects, music, and battle cries all sound fine for me, but can't hear the spoken dialog in the cut scenes unless I turn my volume all the way up, then I hear the voices very softly with an echo.

Anybody else have this problem on the PC version?

[RaenImrahl]

It's been discussed. Some of the "cutscenes" are not being rendered in game, but essentially appear to be playing as movie files with no separate mix for voice, music, and sfx. I suspect this was done for the demo because some scenes were edited for story purposes. Best example is the transition from Lothering to Kirkwall, where we meet Varic and Izzy in the space of a few moments. Another example is the game trailer at the end of the demo. It should not be an issue in the full game.

Well, this is the same Bioware that also put environmental sounds in Dragon Age Origins as their own movie files, thus bypassing all volume controls except the basic Windows function.

The cut scenes seem fine on my end. They appear to be pre-rendered which is fine as long as the rest of the audio matches closely by default.

It's an issue of level adjustment when we have a mix of sfx/music/dialogue during the normal course of the game that I'm having trouble with. The dialogue at default for me is far too quiet and effected (cavernous reverbs), and changing the values does not resolve the issue within the demo.

Similar sound-related problems on the PC version. I dropped the music volume to 2, sound effects to 4, left voice volume at 10. Didn't seem to make a difference. Music drowned out the voices. I had to put on subtitles for everything or I would have missed a lot.

My ears bleed everytime Varric mentions that "the witch kept her word".

Same problem. The one thing in this demo that drove me insane, actually. Character dialogue WAY too quiet. SFX and other sounds were okay in volume, but thought should be louder. Cutscenes were LOUD.



This issue did NOT exist in the xbox 360 demo, however.

I think I read somewhere that "forcing stereo sound" should help, but I haven't tried it yet. But I want to do it later as I had the same problem.

It does in fact help. I had the exact same problem.

[BallaZs]

Same here.

[Sauronvoldemort]

Experiencing this too.

[Fredvdp]

This thread would be more useful if you all posted your audio hardware, if you're on PC of course.

I have no issues with sound. I have an X-Fi Xtreme Audio.

Husband and I had this issue, on PC he checked the "force stereo" box in audio settings (and ignored that it says headphones only) and he has the dialogue now. I haven't had time to try that yet but will after work.

[Nowaysis]

I seem to remember only having this problem after I enabled DirectX 11. Running DirectX 9 the sound levels were fine to my recollection.

[Delancey]

I had to reinstall a new directx to even get the thing to run.

The demo is sloppy period. This is why we are experiencing issues like this. There's no other excuse. I genuinely think Bioware doesn't care since they got bought out by EA. Just shoveling out whatever they can and throwing marketing dollars at it.

[GaikingX]

Reporting back that checking 'force stereo' in audio options has solved this issue for me.



(Win XP SP3, DX9, up to date M-Audio Project Mix I/O audio drivers.)

[Luminary Panther]

Had the same issue on the PC. I had to turn the subtitles on just to understand what was being said in game while most of the cutscenes scared the daylights out of me as they were insanely loud!

Sounds about normal.  I personally liked the demo, but that is pretty much EA's history with about 70% of their games.  Also, streunekatze's method worked for me as well.

All of this is on the PC? Xbox not having this problem try setting the games Volume almost to the end so you cant hear and set your PC volume to max c if that works.

Hope this helps.
