Turning off the sound

from GalCiv3 Forums

I would like it if the sound turned off completely when I make that selection. I listen to music while playing and I dislike it when there is a loud playback every time there is an event coupled with the following video. I suspected I could handle this by turning down the sound levels, instead of only unchecking the checkboxes for SFX and music, but to no avail.

Seconded. The interface selection and confirmation *bing*s can be especially loud and annoying to the point where they are a real pain in your ears. They should be tuned down or give players the option to adjust the volume...

You can turn off these sound in the Options/sounds.

That's not true, the SFX and Music checkbox doesn't have any effect of some event sounds .. i.e. colonize the first planet, first survey event, etc.

In addition the volume controller has no effect of the "tick" when you click on "Turn" or any other button in the game. It would be nice to have this fixed, as this "tick" is quite annoying. You can set the SFX volume to "0" and this tick is still loud and crisp.

An option to just only disable event sounds and this tick would be highly appreaciated :)

Making the sound controls universal to include events would be helpful or a specific toggle for events. It makes me jump every time one happens.
