Hello, found the problem in my case.

My samsung monitor sound driver was enabled which was causing a conflict with my soundblaster z.

Disabled, and now volumes of the various aircraft components is as expected.

So, I believe I have a good solution...

1. You will have to take ownership of the files/folders to complete these changes.
2. Replace the soundai.cfg with the soundai.cfg file from B737_800 folder.
3. Delete the sound folder in the b747 directory
4. Copy the sound folder the  B737_800 directory to the b747_400 directory.
5. Open the sound folder you just copied in the d747_400 directory.
6. Delete the following files (these are the ones causing problems with the 747 sound sliders).  ban11.wav thru ban24.wav and bbn11.wav thru bbn24.wav...

Once complete, the sliders will work...

What the...

You better would just turn off all your sound... 747 with 737 soundset that probably won‘t play half of its sounds? Outch

those issues are on the hardware -maybe driver - side... no need to mess with a that great addon...

NB... I think these instructions are referring to the default/stock 747 and 737.

This thread is about the PMDG 747.

Keep in mind that the 747 cockpit is a much louder place than the 777 cockpit.

This.  Noise cancelling headsets were a must on the -400.

if you think the -400 is loud in the cockpit, you should experience the -200B - I'm talkin' Wow! Everyone I knew had hearing aids before age 55! But - in all versions - at least your feet are always warm. 😉
