Is there a version of this mod that can pick out specific audio cues (specifically one ability vs another) I want to hear, and drown out the monotony of useless dps effects, rather than muting ALL combat sounds?

@Joe Ego

Open DXE
> Warnings (left panel third from top)
>>Sound (fifth tab)
>>> check main sound chanel (second check box)

(names may differ, I play on french server)

I tried it once and it didn’t quite feel right. I think it might have been the missing proc sounds for my own character. Either way, I can’t raid with music. The thought that anyone could raid with a TV on is a little disturbing. I’m going to give this another try after I add appropriate sounds to Power Auras as replacement for the default (Infusion of Light, etc).

A random question: I’m using DXE and can barely hear the voice countdown (ph2 Molten Elementals). Does anyone know how to adjust the volume of the addon? Every other game/addon sound is much higher already.

Definitely a fan of this one. Infact, it was one of the things I’ve been requesting since TBC. Thanks again!

Hmm, this does sound interesting to play with.

I used to play with the sound completely off, and I have recently started to slowly turn the game sounds up (because of PvP and like Psynister mentioned, the tell-tale sounds of a stealther). Sometimes hearing a sound or not can be the difference between living on my Rogue and Sap-Stun-Dead at the daggers of a quicker one.

Yep; I completely agree– especially in PVP.

Though from a PVE standpoint I could care less (especially when grouped up) what my POH, a shamans chain heal, a imp’s firebolt, etc etc sounds like. Its superfluous and potentially drowning out more pertinent sounds.

Boss and Mod Audio cues, to me, are far more important than immersion sounds.

I only play with my sound off when I’m questing or otherwise doing nothing important. For everything else I keep the sound on. If I need to be able to hear things called out on vent then I turn the sound down a bit, but never off.

Growing up on a PvP server I quickly learned the sound of a nearby Rogue’s stealth, and from that day on I refuse to turn off my sound so that I don’t miss valuable information about my surroundings. Your eyes can’t always see what your ears can hear.

I regularly play with no sound at all (and no iTunes either /sad) for this reason – too much combat noise on top of 2-4 voices raid leading in Vent. Boss emotes can be such amazing verbal cues that I hate not having them, so I’ll definitely give the combat-sound-only version of this mod a shot tonight. Thanks for posting it!
