We are proud to announce today an upgrade of Board Game Arena sound environment 🙂
For a gaming service, our sounds were a little outdated and amateur. In particular we were receiving a lot of remarks about the "it's your turn" sound ("too loud", "annoying", ...), and finally a lot of you were using the "mute" function for all sounds on BGA.
Thus, we decided to improve this, as sounds are really an important part of the gaming experience.
At first, some time ago we introduced a Volume Control slider. Now you can adjust the volume to the appropriate level, anytime.
Then, we changed most of the default sounds. In particular, we choose a shorter & softer "it's your turn" sound to make it less annoying. We also tried to make the default sounds ambiance more homogeneous to have something coherent on the whole website.
We also introduced new sounds for some important events like the end of a game or when you are running out of time.
Important: if you customized your sounds in the past, you may not hear the new sounds. To enjoy them, go to the bottom of the Preferences/Sound page and click on "Reset all sounds to defaults":

Finally, we multiplied by six the number of available sounds in the "Sound Preferences" page.
With the possibility to customize 100% of the sounds played on BGA + the volume control, you now have the possibility to create a fun and enjoyable sound environment matching your tastes for your games here.
Enjoy!
Note: for those who dislike the new sounds, you can set the preferences to the old ones by choosing the following: Door Bell / Plop 1 / Friction / Friction / Door Bell.
音量控制和新音效
我們驕傲地宣佈今天桌遊競技場的環境音效升級了
對於遊戲服務,我們的音效有點過時和業餘。
特別是我們收到了很多關於"輪到你"音效("太大聲","煩人",......)的批評,於是你們很多人都對BGA 上所有音效使用"靜音"功能。
因此,我們決定改進這一點,因為音效確實是遊戲體驗中重要組成部分。
首先,我們先前介紹了音量控制滑塊。
現在,您可以隨時將音量調整到適當的級別。
然後,我們更改了大多數的預設音效。
特別是,我們選擇一個更短和更柔和的"輪到你"音效,使它不那麼煩人。
我們還試圖使預設的音效氛圍更加均勻,讓整個網站有一些連貫性。
我們還為一些重要的事件引入了新的音效,比如遊戲結束或者當你快用完時間時。
重要提示:如果您過去自訂過聲音,則可能聽不到新的音效。
要享用它們,請到"喜好設定/音效"頁面的底部,然後按一下"將所有音效重置為預設值":
https://boardgamearena.com/#!preferences?section=sound
最後,我們在"喜好設定/音效"頁面增加 6 倍可用的音效數量。
能夠 100% 自訂 BGA 音效 + 音量控制,你現在將能創建一個有趣和愉快的音效環境,以配合您的喜好。
請享用!
注意:對於不喜歡新音效的人,你可以將喜好設定設置為舊的,依序選擇:Door Bell / Plop 1 / Friction / Friction / Door Bell。
