Any reason why bgm and sound is so low during playtest?

[jedite1000]

Sound is no problem in the editor, i select sound and play it and volume is 100% and its loud, i go to playtest my game is i could barely hear it, the in game setting in playtest has max volume

Not sure about other platforms, but if you're on Windows then check the volume mixer: right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and choose "Open Volume Mixer". This should show one volume bar per app.

Yeah done that, rpg maker mz volume is at the max, as I mentioned, the sound is no problem in the editor, it’s only during play testing

Just to be clear: the editor and playtest are separate applications, with separate volume controls in the mixer. Some other ideas:

1. Are you using any plugins? If so, it might help to post screenshot(s) of your Plugin Manager to show what you're using. It might be a plugin parameter problem.
   
   You could also try turning off your plugins temporarily to see if that helps; as always, remember to save your project to apply Plugin Manager changes before testing.
   
   
2. Does the same problem happen in a new project?
   
   
3. Also, can you confirm whether this is happening in MV or MZ? Or both?

A lot of plug-ins set the sound at 20% in game by default as many complained about going deaf as loud as the sounds are in editor. When you do playtest, load up options in game and set those.

OK it looks like you are using MZ, so

I've moved this thread to MZ Support. Thank you.

Did you turn uncheck all plugins, save your project, and test to see if that fixes the problem?
