Hello!
I was wondering if any of you might have a solution/suggestion about this problem of mine. I am using a very high quality MIDI card for playing the MIDI only (Yamaha SW1000XG) which does an excellent job and luckily works in-game.
The problem is that I can't seem to regulate its volume, no matter how low/high I regulate its sound output in the Audio mixer panel of Windows.
In the Configuration tab for MIDI, I can test it successfully but even there the Logarithmic Volume Control option is greyed out and I can't move the bar of the Volume Test.
This situation represents itself in-game where I have to have music at 100% volume level (way too much for my taste).
Can I do something about it? Is there a way to "force" the game to run the MIDI at lower audio level by tweaking some .ini file or something?
Thanks for your help!

turn your amplifier down
by any chance do you us a Cap Amp?.
u will notice a little nob just turn it anti-clock wise :)
i doubt a sound card could push an Amp to 100% when its on minimun

What about the in-game volume option?

i think he already tried that
just turn the amplifier down man. its not that hard
does everythng else really really loud like media player? or winamp?

The ingame volume option for Music does not work. No matter if I move it from 100% to 0. It always plays at loudest level.
So far I did like Olie suggested but it's not really a smart solution, is it? And like he said "It's not that hard" (to think about that - in fact I did it myself).
The problem is that I'd want the music to be much less loud than the special effect.
In my current situation sound effects and music plays always at the same volume level.
Any other suggestion?
Thanks!

@Salk
A while back I noticed that in the FF7Config if I changed the midi data from General Midi to Yamaha XG Midi that I was only able to adjust the sound level with Yamaha XG, maybe setting your game to play one of the other lgp midi's will allow you to raise and lower the volume.
