Kill sound cues
These are the "Mmhhhrrrghh" sounds that play when you/foes get eliminated, which are also tied to the Music slider. You can tweak their volume with following steps.
  • Open Explorer and paste following path:
    %UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config\
  • Open file UTGame.ini with Notepad. Find (Ctrl+F) and replace following line:
    [UTGame.UTMusicManager] StingerVolumeMultiplier=0.15
    Default value: 1.1
Make music louder
Affects volume of in-game tracks. The main menu track plays at full volume regardless of this setting.
  • Open file UTGame.ini with Notepad. Find and replace following line:
    [UTGame.UTMusicManager] MusicVolume=0.90
    Default value: 0.36
Make music louder -- alternative solution
Alternatively, we can decouple Master volume and Music volume, and lower the Master volume respectively. In this example, all other sounds will be 30% quieter.
  • Open file UTEngine.ini with Notepad. Find and replace following line:
    [Engine.AudioDevice] SoundGroups=(GroupName=Master,Properties=(Volume=0.7),ChildGroupNames=(SFX,Cinematic,Announcer,VoiceChat,Dialog,MovieEffects,MovieVoice,UI))
    Default value: Volume=1
UI volume
These are the sounds that play when you navigate the menus.
  • Open file UTEngine.ini with Notepad. Find and replace following line:
    [Engine.AudioDevice] SoundGroups=(GroupName=UI,Properties=(Volume=0.1,bNoReverb=TRUE,bIsUISound=TRUE))
    Default value: Volume=1
