Sound Resetting
Every patch, the sound resets to maximum volume. As I don't have a driver for my headphones, and these headphones are quite loud, I keep my volume very low. Specifically, I turn the overall volume to 20, but then set each individual slider down to about 1 (as this normalizes the difference between quiet and loud, for some reason beyond me).
Now, today, I was patching and browsing various internet things. The pling sound that lets you know you're done patching then boomed in my ear, and I almost literally fell out of my chair. I'm a little easily frightened player, so loud, sudden noises make me jump.
Is there any way to stop this sound or stop the volume resetting? Or is this an issue with the hardware/software of Windows, and not something that can be changed in League (whether by players or devs)? If so, is there something I can do to windows to fix it?
