I want to play a game but the audio and music volume is low, any solution? It can be a video or prints or texts on how to edit and increase the audio volume of a game, I currently use the notepad++ tool

In the preferences menu, decrease "sound" volume until it matches the audio/music levels you want, then just increase your speaker volume?

The volume on my pc, Headset, Game are all maxed out.

One detail, the game music that is in the game/music folder is at normal volume, I can hear it normally.

But when I enter the game the volume is very low to the point of almost not being able to hear it, I believe it must be in the game codes

I'm not grumpy, I'm just coded that way.

It isn't.
Ren'Py will play the sound at the level define by the player in the option, and if defined at 100%, it will be the same 100% than any sound player you could use. So, if in the option menu the sound is already maxed, and your speakers are also maxed, I guess that it's there's some third party software that is limiting Ren'Py game in the sound mixer.

Yeah like anon said, have you checked your volume mixer?

If your game volume is lower than the rest of the system it would explain the low volume.

Yes, I checked and, as I informed you, everything is at maximum, both on the PC and in the game, headset and open volume mixer.

Another detail, the game has a mod, I'm going to download the game again without the mod and test to see if it's normal.

If not, I'll come back here to let you know.

Also technically if this is about a single game then you should probably ask directly into that game thread because it could be a known bug or something that already has a fix.
Well I just finished downloading and testing without the mod. I confirm that it continues with extremely low volume, the songs in the game/music folder are at normal volume without any change. but when starting the game, the volume simply drops to the point that you can't hear almost anything.

I tested other games and all have normal audio and volume, only this game has low volume. I'll look in the comments maybe someone has the solution.

I am a ren'py user, and from what I can tell. It seems like a development issue. You should ask the developer.

This would be why.

The dev is telling the music to play at different volumes, relative to what you set in the menu. That first one is telling it to play at 6% volume. Only way around this would be to edit the game files to not do this, or to manually override it with the console every time a sound plays.
