A more complete Audio Settings & categorization of sound sources
I have always encountered difficulties mixing the sounds from the audio settings, but also there’s very little options to choose around rather than Master Volume, Music, Effects, Ambience, Dialog. The big issue is with the Effects Fader, because things like notifications and character effects are immersed into the same category. I want the Ready Checks & Battleground/Dungeon window pop sound notifications way lower than my characters abilities sounds.

I propose more categorizations such as the following and you are also invited to write new ideas:

• Notifications sounds: Battlegrounds/Arenas/LFG Dungeons/Raids and Ready Checks sounds have their own independent fader.
• Abilities & characters inherent sounds fader.
• Mount Sounds fader.
• Pets and companion fader.

I feel if I could have those options to mix then I could have high volume abilities sounds, while having notifications way lower, and not in the same “effects” category.

Does anyone know an addon that can help with this issue? or replace sounds for something less brassy when LFG bgs/dungeons or ready checks pops?

Thanks for your time!

Just a word of caution.

It is possible to change the gamesounds by replacing the soundfiles, and there are tutorials and guides on how to do this.

But don’t do this.

Altering any of the game files WILL result in a lengthy ban. Blizzard does not tolerate any unofficial alterations to its gamefiles or client, with the exception to interface/addons.

As for feedback, the forums isn’t the place to submit feedback, that has to be submitted by the in-game feedback submissions tool, I’m afraid.
