The 'enum34' package is an obsolete backport of a standard library package and is incompatible with PyInstaller

@patrikzudel what version of python you are using? I am on windows with 3.7 and use pywin32 to install pycaw/pyinstaller since pyinstaller cannot cross-compile.

I made some changes so my max volume is 0.2 while low volume is 0.0 but stuck due to this package enum34 not accepted by Pyinstaller.

Can you let me know your python version and other dependencies? Are you using Python <3.4 for this?

Thanks.

This program is excellent. Now I can play CSGO much more comfortably than before. I am a player from China. Many players here are also very interested in this project(avoid being deaf at Dust2 A long :) ). Many players also hope this program can reduce the sound of being headshot, which is also very loud. And another thing is that many people are still worried about being VAC although it has almost been proved VAC safe. I sincerely hope this project can be verified by Faceit and Valve as soon as possible. Very thankful for your work for the CSGO community!!!

I downloaded the .zip, extracted it and ran the .exe but nothing happened in game but the icon appeared in the tray.

I'd be thankful if anybody can help

The sound mutes after dying, but doesn't return to the level before. I'm not sure what debugging information I could provide.

The readme says "returns volume when you get to freezetime", so I thought cl_disablefreezecam "1" was interfering with it, but setting it to 0 doesn't work either... so I'm not sure what "freezetime" is? I would absolutely love if it worked regardless of "freezetime" or not since I would love to have this feature everywhere (and I'm extremely excited about fixing the dink noise).

I was only using this so far in "deathmatch" mode, and as far as I can guess (according to the wording), maybe the volume lowers upon dying and stays that way in a deathmatch, until the round pause timer (like pre-round stuff), then returns it?

I suppose with that understanding, my issue is generally: I wish the getting hit/getting killed volume was lowered in general :(

Hi @patrikzudel,

The program sometimes stuck in tray after exiting csgo. Right click on the tray icon will not respond. Need to use task manager to end process.

I havent dig into the code yet, but think it is something within this block: https://github.com/patrikzudel/PatrikZeros-CSGO-Sound-Fix/blob/main/main.py#L88-L98

As of now I have no video recording yet. If I somehow get it happen again will see if I can record the issue.

Thanks.

Just minor fixes. I found the usage guide a little confusing, might have gotten it wrong but from the code in volume.py the volume.txt decimal is the value the volume is set to not reduced by.

great work btw :)

First, thanks for developing this tool!

Description

I have noticed that initially when joining a game, the volume has a level of (say) 100%. Then, after the first death (I think that's what triggers it), the volume is lowered and stays low. Is there a way to re-raise the volume after death?

(Edited) From the README:

Its simple, it lowers the csgo.exe volume when it detects a death and returns the volume when you get to freezetime. This effectively means your volume will be low for everything (e.g. Deathmatch) except actual matches (competitive / casual) where there is freezetime.

Hmm, this could be the issue. I recall that I notice it mostly when playing DM, which means there is no freezetime. This could be the reason why the volume is never reset (raised) after the first death.

Question: IIRC, GSI data (game state integration) exposes the type of the current match, i.e., whether it is DM, competitive, etc. This would allow putting in conditional code that (a) keeps the current behavior when playing competitive matches vs. (b) does not change the volume when playing DM?

Here's an example snippet from the map provider of GSI, which includes the game mode. Example values for mode are:

• "competitive"
• "deathmatch"
• "custom"
• "casual"
• "cooperative"
• "scrimcomp2v2"
• "skirmish"
• "survival"
• "training"

{
    "map": {
        "mode": "competitive", // <-- this entry
        "name": "de_mirage",
        "phase": "live",
        "round": 0,
        "team_ct": {
            "score": 0,
            "consecutive_round_losses": 0,
            "timeouts_remaining": 1,
            "matches_won_this_series": 0
        },
        "team_t": {
            "score": 0,
            "consecutive_round_losses": 0,
            "timeouts_remaining": 1,
            "matches_won_this_series": 0
        },
        "num_matches_to_win_series": 0,
        "current_spectators": 0,
        "souvenirs_total": 0
    }
}

In the current gamestate_integration_VolumeFix.cfg, the map provider is disabled: https://github.com/patrikzudel/PatrikZeros-CSGO-Sound-Fix/blob/9da2a8ae7c1d9dbcd5a5eb16d1279a2965379faa/dist/gamestate_integration_VolumeFix.cfg#L19

Enabling the map provider should have minimal impact because its data volume is small. Also, I can confirm that the data from the map provider is not restricted to spectators-only, i.e., it is actually available in any situation (i.e., when playing, when observing, etc.).

Environment

The software version is 1.1 as of Jan 2022. OS is Windows 11.

My settings:

• Death volume 40%
• Flash volume 10%
• Bomb explosion volume 20%

This version is a super-fast coded version that is tested and working with linux mint. Should work with other distros too. Works when you run the main.py from terminal (no compiled version, no autostart with linux, no systray etch).

Might contain bad python practices, fist time I ever tried to code in this language.

Works similar as the windows version, it finds all the sinks (audio sources) that is connected to csgo, and changes the volume for them in the different situations.

I got to use it for a few days and all was fine, but one day I just opened it and it had no effects on the sound after getting flashed or dying, etc. I tried reinstalling both the program and csgo and still doesnt work at all anymore.

I've been using this since it came out and occasionally the volume reduces when dead and won't rise again when starting a round. Sometimes only on the next round will it return to normal.

This is beyond what is currently being done, but I was thinking a potential direction for this project could be to use the game integration hooks to enable a band pass filter on the CS audio stream that can attenuate high frequencies. Another option to clip volumes that exceed a certain threshold altogether. I envision this is a lot more work, but wanted to bring it up as an idea.

Either way, this would entail a transformation on the actual audio stream. My VERY rudimentary research has put me onto using Windows Audio Processing Objects which I believe is something along the lines of what may be needed.

Wanted to bring up this idea and see what your thoughts are.
