To start off, sorry if this is in the wrong topic.
Basically, I quit playing America's Army ~2008. Back then I could clearly hear everything (doors opening, people walking on e.g. metal / snow / rock floor.) but lately all I can hear are the shots and the exploding of nades. I have my laptop's sound on full as well as the ingame sound.
For example, I can't hear a door opening when I'm 5 metres away from it whilst in the past I could hear, on pipeline, the vents opening from the pump room.
Does anyone have a solution?

Back in 2008 maybe you played on a desktop computer with a dedicated soundcard?
Or are you just complaining the the sound is overall to quiet?
And I know there's been talk about the sound being messed up win Windows Vista/7 (and onwards?), but I can't remember what to do to fix it. I'm sure there are threads on these forums explaining it, just search for it.

oh m8, you are getting older. you can not hear anymore that good. it is a question of time :D
sorry for that joke, had to do this.

It is a gaming laptop btw, Asus G72GX A-1, if that helps anything.
-
Are you using your laptops speakers or a headset?
Its just because on my pc I have 5.1 surround sound set up and even on loud I can't hear the stuff like your describing, but once i plug a headset in I can hear everything.

Yeahhh, i believe you, i have something inbetween that..

1 thing you can try as first, when you start a game or something on w7 the sound is gonna lower automatic because of this function: start -> Control panel -> Sound(Hardware&Sound) -> Communication , then you have 4 options. Mark the last: No action
You will have some more volume ingame now. For the rest.. buy a soundcard if you wanna hear everything;)

hmmm iam using a realtek onboard chip since my decicated soundcard is broken (Asus Xonar D2)
With that onboard chip its better to choose "normal" 3D Audio in AA Settings and not Hardware 3D + EAX.
On the other hand you can alter the channels given to you in AAO ini.
Got mine at 64 instead of 32. With a dedicated soundcard like XIFI titanium or Asus Xonar you can also use 128.
And oh yeah Headset is a Corsair Vengeance 1500 7.1.

I have the Sennheiser PC250 aswell, it´s not that the sound i sn´t loud, its just that its impossible to hear footsteps or doors opening. I think I have an onboard sound card, only see a sticker with EAX Advanced HD 4.0 on this thing haha
-
Well, this ain´t gonna work, any suggestions on an external sound card? I'm not loaded with cash so preferably the cheapest x-fi or w/e.
-
You could take a look into your aao audio settings if "low sound details" is checked or not.
Because I got absolutely no sound probs with that onboard chip :-)
Anyways where are you from so I could check a price for you.

I´m from the Netherlands, and low sound isnt checked.
