I've tried muting league, lowering the volume to 1, and yet every time League opens it makes this huge noise and it hurts my ears. :/ Is there some setting i am missing? Or is there anything I can do so that noise doesn't happen at all.
Thank you so much for your help!
RiotRiot Eno2 votesThis change will go out with 5.7 - stay tuned.
MrPerson101 votesturn on your speakers after league opens.
While it's an obvious solution, the obvious and simple ones are usually the best; reference Occam's Razor.
Lady Septimus1 votesdo you mean turn off? I don't use speakers.. I use headphones. League makes this huge noise when it opens even when muted. :/ I shouldn't have to take my headphones off every time i want to play league
MrPerson101 votesNope I mean turn it on afterward, or just take your headset off for the initial opening bit.
I think it occurs for everyone, though I'm not sure as I haven't actually opened up league on my computer in months, I just keep it logged on.
RiotRiot Eno1 votesHey there!
When you say you are lowering the volume to 1, where exactly are you lowering the volume?
Lady Septimus1 votesI am lowering it on the volume controls of my computer, so the volume mixer on windows 8.
Everything on my computer is already set to super low because I have such sensitive ears, the only thing that's loud is when league opens. Is there another setting i can mess with in the client to fix this? thanks for your help!
Edit: BtW i have lowered in league in both the launcer and the client btw! and I have tried muting both and still League makes a huge noise when I open it
RiotRiot Eno3 votesHrrrrmmmm, the only sound setting available in the patcher is the one it sounds like you've already lowered.
This is a really tricky thing for us to nail down due to the insane variety amongst everyone's audio setups. However, the last thing we want is for people to have a crummy experience!! A lot of people have no problems with this, but there are definitely people like yourself that continue to have a bad experience, and that sucks. =/
I'll look into just making the volume of the actual source files lower for the next patch.
Stay tuned!
Lady Septimus1 votesAwesome! if it goes live, I will let you know if it works for me. Thanks for the help!
RiotRiot Eno1 votesSo from reading below, it sounds like you found the volume slide for the patcher, yeah?
Lady Septimus1 votesYep! Thanks for your help! :D
DrCyanide2 votesAny chance the patcher and client could share a volume slider?
It took looking at several similar complaints on the forums to even realize the patcher had a sperate slider, and you guys at Riot have pointed out several times that a minority of players actually come to the forums. It'd be reasonable to expect most players don't know the launcher volume slider exists.
RiotRiot Eno1 votesI know this is lame, but unfortunately they cannot share a volume slider =/
However, this is something that we want to remedy down the road when we update the game client.
Lady Septimus1 votesi think just making the settings button bigger or more noticeable would help people find it easier. ;o its such a tiny little icon in the corner.
CyberTootie1 votesWhen you say "huge noise" does this "noise" sound intentional? What I mean is: does it sound like a recorded sound effect or more like a sound anomoly or glitch?
Lady Septimus1 votesit sounds intentional. Its the noise the league client makes when you click launch.
EDIT: I meant launcher :c oopsies
CyberTootie1 votesOkay, can you be more descriptive and specific with the timing?
Lady Septimus1 votes;o basically I click on the league icon on my desktop it opens up just fine no noise yet. then when I click the "Launch" Button in the launcher (sorry I wrote client previoulsy, meant launcher confuse those two allll the time lol), when i click that button a loud league noise plays, idk how to describe the sound. but it is definitely a league sound file and not some random noise my computer is generating.
CyberTootie1 votesThe volume controls and the mute option are working for me within the Launcher client (or "LoL Patcher" as listed by Windows). I'm just guessing you're confused by the vast array of volume options for the vast array of different clients.
The LoL experience consists of three clients, all with independent volume settings: the Launcher client, the PVP.net client and the game client. If you hit the gear icon in the upper right before hitting launch, you will see the volume options for the Launcher client. If these are not working, in addition to adjusting the volume for "LoL Patcher" within the Windows mixer, I don't know what to tell you other than suggest that perhaps something is wrong with your sound driver. I mean the fact that Windows mixer, which is totally independent, is not affecting sound playback is, if true, completely unexpected behavior to say the least, and wouldn't be a problem with the client.
Lady Septimus1 votesWow completely missed the settings in the launcher, thanks! I thought all the sound settings were either in the pvp client and the game client. I can't believe i missed that, i feel like such an idiot. Thank you so much though! My ears won't bleed anymore! :D
Nucleophilic atk1 votesOh, by the way. Nid's spears are still bugged.
GaleWinUnleashed1 votesAre you lowering the volume setting for the Launcher, or the Client? They are completely separate.
If you've lowered the Launcher volume all the way to 1, it should be incredibly quiet by now.
Lady Septimus1 votesI have, I even muted it on both launcher and client and it still would be extemely loud
ABlueQuaker1 votesRiot, in their infinite wisdom, added yet another excessively loud sound that we get to put up with every time we log on.
Riot just likes to add stuff without moderating the sound levels when it goes live.
I swear I nearly ruptured an eardrum a couple of patches ago every time the login music came on.
LOL Spammer1 votesI think you have probably already solved this but the volume control is in the top right of the launcher, under the little gears. Next to the X.
