It's actually insanely deafening. I had my system volume at 40% and it blasted my eardrums entirely. And this isn't just one occurrence. Every single sound file on this website is about 2.5x louder than it should be.
Otherwise, you're literally endangering people. My ears are still ringing.
You've got to be trolling. They're not loud at all.
And even if they are, it's tedious and time-consuming enough for me to get them all uploaded as it is. I'm not going to spend hours fine-tuning the volume on each individual file just so you can be lazy and not bother to perhaps turn your volume down when you're browsing them.
Actually you can batch-process sound files in many ways, but you should point out which sound file is deafening so other users can judge.
I've had this issue occur randomly, but this was on the Dota wiki. I cringed every time I opened a Wikia .mp4 for at least 4 months afterwards.
So, it's not the League wiki.
I've noticed this problem with many wikis, and it might have something to do with Mac computers, as it only happens to me at work where I use one. At home, even with head phones, I don't get this issue.
I'm not bullshitting though, I have my system volume at 40%. YouTube videos play at a normal volume, everything else does as well. But for some reason, opening any sound file on this wiki and many other wikis has resulted in me blowing out my eardrums.
My initial post was a bit emotion-driven, as it was insanely frustrating to have my tinnitus get even worse, and I know this isn't an individual's fault and I didn't mean to suggest that.
So from what we gotten here is that it isnt compleatly the wiki issue just mac messing with this type of sound embeding(whatever its called)
If it's not a wiki-specific problem I don't see why you had to come onto a specific one and complain as if it's the only one and the management are to blame.
I can't help with the issue. I don't have this problem myself and don't know anything about backend wiki software that might be related to this.
I suppose you did not read my post where I explained that my initial one was driven by emotion. I was not aware that you had any temperamental admins, as generally people who run websites like this are somewhat professional in their conduct. So overall, Shaw, that last post was completely pointless and very much unfitting of an administrator.
I'm not even a moderator, let alone an admin. :P
And I did read it - when you said you were being driven by emotion I assumed you were talking about the general passive-aggressive tone you took and not mistaking a widespread issue for something specific to the files on this site.
