Settings — Audio

The Audio tab is one row per sound family. Each row has an on/off checkbox on the left and, for the families that have one, a volume fader on the right. Unticking a box mutes the whole family; its fader turns grey and stops reacting until you tick the box again — the value you had set is kept.

The four rows

UI Sounds

Clicks, hovers and the small confirm / back / error cues of the interface. On or off only — there is no volume for it. Off = silent menus, everything else unaffected.

Music

All music: the main menu loop, the career desk, the loading jingle, the grid and team presentations. The fader scales the music bus (default 100 %). The checkbox silences every music stream at once.

Engine

The engine sounds of every session — practice, qualifying, race — i.e. the multi-car procedural synth. Default fader 90 %. Off = no engine at all; the radio voices keep playing (they share the same audio stream but are gated separately).

Voices

Voice clips on the team radio (driver acknowledgements, pit messages). Default fader 90 % (the driver-voice level). Off = silent radio; the on-screen radio messages stay.

Live behaviour

• From the in-race pause menu, faders and checkboxes are audible while you drag or tick them.
• From the main menu, Music and UI Sounds apply as soon as you leave the screen (Save and Exit / Escape); Engine and Voices apply at the next session.

Reset Defaults

The Reset Defaults button on the Audio tab restores every checkbox to on and the faders to Engine 90 %, Voices 90 %, Music 100 %.

Save behaviour

Audio settings live in config.db (scope hud), merged with the other HUD keys:

engine_volume      = 0.9000
driver_volume      = 0.9000
music_volume       = 1.0000
radio_volume       = 1.0000
ui_sounds_enabled  = 1
music_enabled      = 1
engine_enabled     = 1
radio_audio_enabled = 1
