I have noticed with the BFG edition of classic Doom that sound effects do not play at the same volume. The player's sounds, such as firing a shotgun or pain sounds, play at normal volume but everything else, such as opening doors, enemy weapons fire, exploding barrels and even firing your own rockets, play at a significantly lower volume.

I have tried different audio setting but the problem persists. Have you encountered this problem? Is there some way of fixing it that I haven't thought of? Or is this just the way that the BFG version Classic Doom is?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't have the game, but are you using stereo speakers/headphones and maybe the game or your sound card is set to multichannel output? I had similar problems with some multichannel sound movies so I switched to stereo in my player and it was all good afterwards.

Even movies?
Mm.. are you sure that your system is set properly?

Yeah, it was a long time ago and I wasn't aware that the default audio settings in my video player were set to 5.1 channels.

I have tried different settings. It is currently in stereo and I have also tried Windows spatial sound, the problem persists. These are the only games that I have this problem with. I haven't tried the standalone classic Dooms.
It's not a volume problem... and this happen only with DooM 3 BFG (only DooM 1 & 2)

All other versions works fine
