Hey guys

I like to have my mic at 85% in control panel under sound, however after a few hours (usually after a reboot) it always reverts back to 100 :S

This is really annoying for when I try to play Dota as it annoys the hell out of my teammates.

any help is much appreciated.

Hi I found this during a search worked for a friend of mine.

Look through the Dota II config file and find this line:
Code:
voice_mixer_volume "1.0"
I changed the value to "0.15" (in the autoexec.cfg") to get my mic level to 15% and it was set to 14%. Changing it to "0.16" finally brought my desired effect.

Here's a step by step instruction what to do:

  1. Open notepad (press "Windows Key + R" and type "notepad" without the "" and hit Enter)
  2. copy this line to the editor: Code:
    voice_mixer_volume "x.xx"
    and change the "x.xx" to e.g. "0.51" if you want your mic level to be 50%
  3. Hit "Ctrl + S" to save the file.
  4. Navigate to your Steam installation folder (commonly "C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\") and browse to "SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\cfg\"
  5. Make sure the "Save as type" dropdown menu below the "File name" says "All Files (*.*)" otherwise notepad will save this file as a .txt
  6. Save your file with the name "autoexec.cfg" (of course without the "")
  7. Restart Dota II and check your mic level.

Hope this helps

Regards
