Are you tired of the constant noise from your speakers while playing "Days Gone"? Perhaps you're trying to maintain a low profile while sneaking past a horde of Freakers, or maybe you just want to enjoy the game's stunning visuals without the audio distraction. Whatever your reason, disabling the speakers in "Days Gone" is a straightforward process. Let's dive into the steps you need to follow.

Before we proceed, it's essential to understand that completely muting the game won't silence the speakers entirely. Instead, we'll focus on lowering the volume significantly or routing the audio to your headphones. This way, you can still enjoy the game's immersive soundtrack and sound effects without disturbing others or alerting nearby Freakers.

Adjusting In-Game Audio Settings

Your first port of call should be the game's audio settings. "Days Gone" offers several audio customization options that can help you achieve your goal.

First, launch the game and navigate to the main menu. From there, select "Options" and then "Audio." Here, you'll find several sliders that control different aspects of the game's audio. The two most relevant ones for our purpose are "Master Volume" and "Voice Volume."

Lowering Master Volume

The "Master Volume" slider controls the overall volume of the game. To reduce the noise coming from your speakers, simply drag the slider to the left. The further left you go, the quieter the game will become. Keep in mind that moving the slider all the way to the left will mute the game entirely, so be sure to leave some volume for essential audio cues.

To find the perfect balance between quiet and playable, you may need to experiment with the slider. Start by moving it to the halfway point and adjust from there based on your preferences. If you find that the game is still too loud, consider moving on to the next step.

The "Voice Volume" slider controls the volume of character dialogue and narration in the game. If you're primarily concerned about reducing the volume of spoken words, muting this slider can be an effective solution. Simply drag the slider all the way to the left to silence character dialogue completely.

While muting voice volume can help reduce the overall noise from your speakers, it's essential to remember that doing so will also silence crucial story elements and audio cues. Be sure to consider this trade-off before proceeding.

Routing Audio to Headphones

If lowering the in-game volume isn't enough, or if you prefer a more discreet gaming experience, routing the game's audio to your headphones is an excellent alternative. This method allows you to enjoy the game's audio without disturbing others or alerting nearby Freakers.

To route the game's audio to your headphones, you'll need to adjust your system's audio settings rather than the game's. The process varies depending on your operating system, so we'll provide guidance for both Windows and macOS users.

Windows Users

1. Right-click on the volume icon in your system tray and select "Sounds."

2. In the "Playback" tab, locate your headphones in the list of devices and right-click on it. Select "Set as Default Device."

3. If your headphones aren't listed, click "Show Disabled Devices" at the bottom of the window, then right-click on your headphones and select "Enable" followed by "Set as Default Device."

macOS Users

1. Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen and select "System Preferences."

2. Click on "Sound" and then select the "Output" tab. Choose your headphones from the list of available devices.

Once you've completed these steps, the game's audio should now play through your headphones instead of your speakers. Keep in mind that this change will affect all audio output on your system, so be sure to switch back to your speakers if you need to use your computer's audio for other purposes.

Additional Tips

If you've followed the steps above and still find that the game's audio is too loud, there are a few additional tips you can try:

Use an Equalizer

An equalizer can help you fine-tune the game's audio by adjusting the volume of different frequency ranges. By reducing the volume of higher frequencies, you can make the game's audio less piercing and more subdued. Many operating systems include a built-in equalizer, or you can use third-party software like EqualizerAPO (Windows) or Audio MIDI Setup (macOS) to achieve this.

Invest in a Good Pair of Headphones

If you plan on playing "Days Gone" with headphones frequently, investing in a high-quality pair can significantly improve your gaming experience. High-end headphones often come with noise-cancelling technology, which can help block out external distractions and make the game's audio more immersive.

In summary, disabling the speakers in "Days Gone" is a straightforward process that involves adjusting the game's audio settings, routing the audio to your headphones, or using an equalizer to fine-tune the game's sound. By following these steps, you can enjoy the game's stunning visuals and immersive soundtrack without disturbing others or alerting nearby Freakers. Happy gaming!
