I used to play at 50% master output volume, and have the Game/Discord apps at 100% (within this 50% output), resulting on a total output of 50%. Now that balance mode (game mode) is again halve the output volume I only have 25% volume effective. As I set Game-50% / Discord-50% of the already output of 50% that I usually had.
Because of the only 25% effective output I tend to up the master output volume from 50% to 100% to get the same volume back in game/discord as I used to have.
But when I now go to an other app (example : click a link to an online video what opens in a browser) I get 100% of that app and the 100% master volume what is way to load.
Describe the solution you'd like
I guess the middle point of the balance should not be 50%/50%, but should be 100%/100%.
When you turn one app down, the other should stay 100% and the one tuning down should be less then 100%. Going back to
Example 1 :
APP 1---------100
APP 2---------100
Example 2:
APP 1---------100
APP 2------- 70
Example 3:
APP 1---- 40
APP 2---------100
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative Could be that you can set the balance point yourself between lets say 0 and 100%. I would even by okay with sacrificing the double press function (what currently makes it instant go to 50%/50% balanced) for this. After double pressing an marker will be selected showing what the crossover point is.
Example 1 :
APP 1---------100
APP 2---------100
Cross ^100
Example 2:
APP 1-------- 90
APP 2------- 70
Cross ^ 80
Example 3: (This example would be almost the same as how it works now because the crossover point is set @ 50%)
APP 1---- 40
APP 2------- 60
Cross ^ 50
This cross over point also doubles as a volume control for both apps at the same time, where you can simply double press and turn game and discord volume (crossover) down to quickly watch a video in between, but still able to hear when you re-spawn, pause your video and get right back in the game by turning cross over point up again returning both apps to higher volume.
Additional context
The current way where 100% in balance mode is still only 100% in relation to master volume is perfect and should not change.
Comparison with the current system as in 1.4.7 :
Current 1 :
APP 1----- 50
APP 2----- 50
Current 2:
APP 1--- 30
APP 2------- 70
Current 3:
APP 1---------100
APP 2 0
I kinda am planning to look into this feature myself. X3
