How to Configure Environmental Audio and Footstep Volumes

Dynamic Surroundings Rebirth adds extensive environmental soundscapes and surface-specific footsteps. If certain ambient sounds or steps drown out other gameplay audio, you can balance them directly from your settings or on the fly.

Adjusting Sound Sliders

1. Press Esc and open Options, then select Sound Options.

2. Locate the dedicated sliders added by the mod: Footstep and Biome.

3. Adjust the Biome slider to set the master level for environmental soundscapes, forest ambiances, ocean audio, and cave wind.

4. Adjust the Footstep slider independently to raise or lower the volume of walking, jumping, landing impacts, and moving through brush without altering general game audio.

Using the Quick Sound Volume Menu

1. While walking around in-game, hold Ctrl + ` `` (the backtick key, typically located above Tab).

2. An on-screen menu will appear listing the sounds that have played recently around your character.

3. Adjust the individual volume levels for specific sound effects directly from this list if a particular creature sound, weather effect, or background noise is disruptive.

4. Release the shortcut keys to save your changes and resume playing immediately.
