List the cues you notice
A fishing game can communicate through sound, controller vibration and interface changes. List which cues you currently use to recognise an event. If an important event is only apparent through one channel, check whether the game offers another supported way to notice it.
Read the settings literally
A master volume control is different from separate effects or interface sound controls. Haptic options may also differ between platforms and controllers. Check the labels and help text before expecting a setting to affect a particular cue. Avoid promising that an option exists in every fishing title.
Test without distractions
Use a familiar scene to compare one setting at a time. Keep the sound at a comfortable level and observe the visible interface as well. Do not treat higher volume or stronger vibration as inherently better; useful feedback is clear enough for your own setup and preferences.
Keep the mix flexible
A shared room, headphones or a different controller can change what feels comfortable. Save a short note about the options that matter to you. Revisit the mix when the environment changes instead of assuming that yesterday’s configuration must remain the best one.
