HL2 Weak Audio

[Dalton Williams]

I have seen a couple other people mentioning weak audio.  I have thought it is something wrong with my ears or computer.  But I fave the audio slider at max and my computer audio at almost max volume.  I remember running both much lower. Now if I switch to a website with audio it is super loud and I have to quickly turn down the computer volume.

Is there something that has changed with the HL2 causing this?  Or have I accidentally changed something?

Thanks,

It's unlikely anything has changed although this would be dependent on which software that you are running and if you have updated that recently.  Generally in your computer audio mixer there will be not only a master level setting but an individual fader specific to each application. You'll need to look for this and determine if this has been accidentally lowered.

Hi Dalton,

There is no audio sent from the HL2. It is all software. There is an IQ stream sent from the HL2 to the computer which is processed and demodulated to produce audio. If your RX LNA gain is low, that can cause the IQ stream to be low and thus low audio. I'd check that your RX LNA is at +20 dB, or zero attenuation in Thetis.
