The sound-effects are very loud and sometimes they get annoying. It would be cool if you could add a feature for users to adjust the volumes of sound effects and progress-bar tones?\n**Blocking #892, #2978, #3100, #4590**\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nvaccess/nvda/issues/comments/324616047","html_url":"https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1409#issuecomment-324616047","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1409","id":324616047,"user":{"login":"fernando-jose-silva","id":16053042,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/16053042?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/fernando-jose-silva","html_url":"https://github.com/fernando-jose-silva","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fernando-jose-silva/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fernando-jose-silva/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fernando-jose-silva/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fernando-jose-silva/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fernando-jose-silva/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fernando-jose-silva/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fernando-jose-silva/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fernando-jose-silva/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/fernando-jose-silva/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-08-24T12:04:39Z","updated_at":"2017-08-24T12:04:39Z","body":"Perfect, thank you, I agree with the proposal of two volume controls, one for the synthesizer, and one for all nvda sounds, including beeps and all sounds of adons including beeps.

This is undesirable since a user only expects the pitch to increase and the volume of the tones to remain constant. However, @Brian1Gaff's\n> #1409 (comment) and @jcsteh's agreement expressed in a later comment together suggest that this is a fallacy resultant of the varying frequency responses of different audio playback equipment. Derek, do you still maintain your original stand or do you agree with Brian and Jamie's explanations? Regardless, as Jamie notes in #1409 (comment), if this actually turns out to be an existent issue, it would require a separate ticket.\n> I am of the opinion that a single volume control for all NVDA (.wav) sound schemes should be controlled by one slider. While counter-intuitiveness may be a concern, placing this slider in the Synthesizer Settings dialog or in the Voice Settings dialog sounds equally fine to me. I do agree that the proposed sound volume option should be synth specific so that a user can customize the sound volume relative to the loudness of every speech synthesizer individually. The current Volume slider in the Voice Settings dialog can be renamed to Voice Volume and another slider named Sound Volume can be added. This would allow for it to be accessed by the Synth Settings Ring.\n> I am not too sure I agree with the implementation of or understand the need for a \"Volume of NVDA sounds follows voice volume\" option. This sounds unnecessary to me.\n> As noted in @feerrenrut's #1409 (comment), we must discuss the UX completely so as to facilitate this ticket's reprioritization to potentially a P2.
