I wasn't sure if I should add this to the previous thread on Black Mirror II or not so I apologize if I should have.

I can barely hear the voices in the game even though the voice volume is set by default at 100%. I tried turning up the volume on my computer and it helped some but even so some of the dialogue is still hard to hear. At the rate I'm going, I may have to turn off the music and environment sounds altogether unless someone has an idea of what to do about this.

Hi, Gil!

At certain points in the game, the music does overpower the dialogue no matter what your settings are, but you can turn on the captions so you can at least see what the characters are saying when the voices are muffled.

Thanks, Susan! I wondered if it was just me and Win 7.

Oh, btw, BM II is not Alt/Tab friendly!

Hi traveler,

I'll move this thread across to Glitches as it is not strictly hints related. I think this is just a negative quirk of the game - I had the same problem with environmental sound drowning out the dialogue in certain places, no matter how I tweaked the settings. It wasn't a constant problem, though.

Hi, Gil!

I also have Windows 7 (64 bit), so maybe someone who is playing BM II under a different operating system can let us know if they encounter the same sound problems. Thankfully, it doesn't happen very often and, with the captions, you don't miss any of the dialogue.

I'd like to add this game to the Window 7 and Games thread with your caveat about the sound problems. Is this a newer game or an old one?

It's a brand new game, Drac, just released this month.

I played the game on XP.

Thanks, Rushes. Since you played on XP, I'll note that the sound problem doesn't seem to be specific to Win 7.

I had to mess with the sound levels when I first started playing the game. The music and the environment sounds were way too loud compared to the voices. Even then there a few occasions when the voice volume drops so low you can barely here it (not very often though).

As for not being Alt/Tab friendly, I used the Windows key to get back to the desktop with no problems.

Using Win7 32bit

I've been playing on Vista. The sound is ok, but there seems to be a long delay during conversations. Anyone notice this? Any ideas?
