Increase Radio Navigation Sound Volume (Morse Code)

A very simple request, although would be appreciated by many.

Can you please increase the radio navigation sound volumes significantly for morse code dots and dashes?

Hearing morse code sounds through radio to identify beacons is almost impossible to hear, even at 100%.

Agreed, the morse code is a bit too quiet to hear. Also, in Microsoft / Asobo planes, the approach altitude callouts (100, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10) are almost inaudible. If I turn volume up to hear it, then I get blasted by ATC and other sounds that are way too loud. Surely there can be some kind of sync to ensure volume of different sounds are at a similar level.

I know some autopilots/PFDs have a NAV volume setting (which may or may not be operable), separate from the sim sound settings. Worth trying if it appears on the panel?

Full volume on the cockpit radio volume (and sim settings), still barely audible, while other sounds are much louder

Yes

Brief description of the issue:

Since the very beginning, the morse code idents in MSFS have been inaudible, so proper instrument flying is rendered virtually impossible in non-EFIS aircraft. All that has to be done is to make them louder.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

not required - this happens in all aircraft in MSFS

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

try and listen to morse code idents

I’m getting normal Nav Morse in several of the GA aircraft I’ve used. In general, Anything with the 530/430 I just push the ID button and adjust it’s volume (red circles) and I’m getting plenty of volume. I’ve got my engine sound turned down some from the default, since I’ve always worn either a headset or helmet and it’s closer to what I’d hear normally for engines.
I obviously haven’t test all aircraft, but at least I know this one works fine, IMO. I’d be glad to test some other specific aircraft if you’ve got one in particular that’s an issue and see if I can duplicate the issue with those planes.
Regards

Depends on what you call Plenty of Volume.
In MSFS the NAV MAX volume is far less than the COM max Volume.
They should be a lot more similar. (as they are in RL )
