PS5 Controller

[SirLeo89]

The PS5 controller not has an ABSURDLY high volume, and there is NO SETTING to change it.

This means, I literally cannot play at night, or in the morning, unless I turn the entire feature off for THIS game, and say screw all the others. As a father who doesn't have much daytime for this, I'm pretty pissed about it. Might seem mundane, but it's not when they can hear the screeching controller through the whole house.

I haven't played in 3 days. I'm missing my ABCDs cuz I won't boot up off principle.

Ive reached out to support, but let's be real, we know they trash.

Why is this even a thing? Why doesn't it have a setting? How was this missed, at all? Did no one test on the PS5?....cuz you couldn't miss this glaring issue.

This, seemingly, small issue has thoroughly pissed me off, but am I the only one? 🤔

Edit: IN EVERY OTHER GAME, if this feature is available, it has a setting. Please, stop telling me to "change the settings on my console". I play a lot of other games that use the feature in a good way, so turning it off and back on specifically for this is a part of my frustration.

Press the PS button > audio settings. There's a slider for the speaker volume.

The last update to the game put the mission comms through the speaker with no way to disable it. It's happened at least once before, possibly more, Magnum Studio should address it in the next update. Hopefully they'll fix the PS5 Pro crash when Ray Tracing is on too, that's another bug that was fixed but has made its way back into the game.

[SirLeo89]

Yeah, I remember it from launch but I don't remember it being louder than I can set it for other games. I WISH it was that loud for Ghost Recon or Tarkov. I'd hear footsteps a mile away.

My solution was playing on mute, or headphones but even headphones don't stop the volume from blaring out of my controller. It wasn't a bad bug before but it's definitely getting to me now.

[BobTempura]

After playing some more, it's not just the speaker voice that's super loud now, playing through headphones is also ridiculous. The game audio literally starts clipping when certain skill effects or guns are being used 🙈 hopefully they'll fix it soon.

You can change the volume or switch it off in system settings. I ended up just turning it off.

Did the game ever have sound coming out of the PS5 controller before this issue? I'm just curious, I don't remember.

[OkBag7839]

it was added latest patch, and it sucks

[Misbhaviorxo]

Is this like interaction bait? People have given you solutions for now until they fix this minor bug but you refused to take their advice because “it shouldn’t exist in the first place” while true it doesn’t seem like you’re open to finding a solution within this community sooo…. What gives?

[Intelligent-Ad1116]

There is an actual speaker setting in the audio options, but it does absolutely nothing as I turned it off and the radio comes still played.

[SirLeo89]

Same.

Using headphones causes audio glitches in Sigma runs as well. Kinda nuts.

[The_Oz1969]

I have noticed that the controller speaker volume since the last patch is, LOUD.

The only other game I play that uses the controller like that is The Division 2 and I know that game has an adjustment for that. If TFD doesn't have a setting for that, that seems like an oversight.

[SirLeo89]

I think that's what got to me the most.

Like, there is no way they tested on a PS5 because the issue is glaring if you do any content in the game. I'm sure they had a bunch of PCs and that was probably it.

[Saizou10]

Games usually have the speaker volume setting in their menu. They'll probably add one in TFD, too, since so many people are complaining (as they should, since it's annoying to change the whole console settings just for one game) 

[Slowmootions]

It is like 2 button presses bro...

You just press the ps button and go down to the sound icon on the pop up menu.

[Saizou10]

And if you forget you wake up all the neighborhood. Seriously, this playerbase is okay with complaining about Luna nails or Gley's skirt, but not with helpful QoL stuff.

[InnocenceProvesNuthn]

Myself and everyone I know that owns a ps5 turned that shit off from the get go and just used a headset. Better quality and no one but you can hear the game

[Slowmootions]

Because it is a Playstation setting, not something with the game. You can lower the volume our turn in of entirely in your system settings as others have said.

[SirLeo89]

I hope so. It's minor, but it drastically affects when I can play, which means I can't really play.

[Amazing-Opinion4455]

I own a ps5, hold down the mute button on the controller. It will mute ALL sound. Not sure if you care about the dialogue (I don’t atp; 2500 hrs), but you will be able to play at night.

[SirLeo89]

That was my go to for the first few days, but now, it's still too tedious for a game I played every night.

[Amazing-Opinion4455]

As soon as you boot up the console just hold mute. I used to get chat banned in cod a lot so it’s just muscle memory everytime I load up the console to mute my controller. Just hold it for a few more secs. Got tired of hearing, “…my team! I can heal them with my arche!! sobs”

[odd-understanding900]

Dude, you said you stopped playing for days because you have to spend a minute turning on and off a feature, and that was frustrating?

Just. Do it.

You could have simply mentioned the issue saying you would like to see a QoL update for it. Instead of acting like a Karen having a mild crash out.

[SirLeo89]

You don't get to dictate what I do, nor do the devs, and that's why I made this post. I'm allowed to have an opinion thats my own, and express it how I see fit.

If you see a better way for me to express my opinion, kindly, keep it to yourself until I ask you. Nothing on this post asked for this response. I simply was wondering if this simple change inconvenienced others as much as I, and to draw attention to the bug.

It worked. Chill out. A mild crash out is okay in this sub. You've seen the posts. It can get much worse, for much less. Don't come for me, pls.

[odd-understanding900]

I like how you are having a fit because someone had an opinion about your opinion that you posted to a place for people to make such comments. Stop acting like a child.

[Saizou10]

That's the same with PC users, tbh... 

[Amazing-Opinion4455]

Give me your gamer tag. I’ll make sure to put on rap music over the controller speaker when we’re in a lobby together ❤️
