Voice chat volume stupidly low?

As the title, anyone else finding voice chat ridiculously low on Burnout? I can hardly hear anyone!!

Can't turn my volume up as when I do everything on the headset is completely drowned out Settings are turned up to 10 for VOIP, but there appear to be no settings on the XMB or anything to increase the volume...

I had this problem but I realised I had the volume on my actual headset turned down - quick flick of the button and i can hear everyone crystal clear now - when ive not got the headset on I cant hear anything through my camera speaker - its very quiet.

Re: Voice chat volume stupidly low?

I'm using my Socom USB one, and my mates who all use their Bluetooth ones all agree it's a lot more quiet than it is on say COD4...

Anyone with any ideas?

yes there is, in xmb you go to accesories then audio device settings, it will let you change the volume there.

yeah it can be, turning it up in the xmb will raise it a lot.

I'm more or less adamant I couldn't find this setting last night... I'll have another look tonight but all that was there was the mic level, which obv only deals with the input level...

Darnit, this option is nowhere to be found for the USB headset I get "Microphone volume", "Input" and "Output"

Re: Voice chat volume stupidly low?

I lowered the game volume to 2 and kept voip on 10 and then raised the volume of my tv it helps alot but still many people are hardly making any sense to me while I noticed other people have no problem talking back to the persons I can hardly understand, but then again.. english is not my native language
