Quick and simple question, how can you change the volume of a sound being played from file? If this can't be done, what alternatives are there to create loud or quiet sounds at an event?

Sorry if it's a silly question, but I haven't seen any commands or controls for volume. I've tried the "FadeGlobalSoundVolume" command, but that didn't seem to have any effect on anything, unless I've been using it wrong.

You can change the volume and the distance at which you hear the sounds. This would also give you more control over where the sound is coming from.
<SOUNDENTITY>
<SOUNDS>
<Main>
<Sound File="radio" />
</Main>
</SOUNDS>
<PROPERTIES Volume="0.8" MinDistance="1" MaxDistance="8" Random="1" Interval="0" FadeEnd="False" FadeStart="False" Stream="False" Loop="False" Use3D="True" Blockable="False" BlockVolumeMul="0.8" Priority="0" />
</SOUNDENTITY>
