Can we get some audio settings?

I personally would like to be able to change my audio settings in Destiny. I didn't even realize Destiny didn't have audio settings until I went to the settings tab to change them, and soon found out they were nonexistent. They don't have to be crazy settings for every little thing you can think of, just basic sliders or even 1-10 boxes like the controller sensitivity settings. Basic Audio Settings: [b][u]Master Volume:[/u][/b] -slider from 0-100- [b][u]Sound FX Volume:[/u][/b] -slider from 0-100- [b][u]Dialogue Volume:[/u][/b] -slider from 0-100- [b][u]Chat Volume:[/u][/b] -slider from 0-100- [b][u]Music Volume:[/u][/b] -slider from 0-100- These are completely doable things, and honestly I'm not sure why some sort of audio settings weren't in the game in the first place. These settings would allow greater convenience and have usefulness in some situations, like Crucible where you don't need music, but you might want SFX up louder to hear enemy players. [b][u]EDIT (11/20/14):[/u][/b] A couple of you guys have suggested some really good ideas that would be very useful and convenient. As more ideas get posted I'll tack them on to the additional ideas list below to hopefully be added into Destiny. Also, this made it to trending! Hopefully that will give it some more exposure and Bungie will at least see it, if not give some sort of answer. -Added "Prefer External Audio" setting, suggested by: EdgeKrusher187 [b][u]EDIT (11/21/14):[/u][/b] -Added "Dynamic Sliders" setting, suggested by: iksbob [b][u]Additional Setting Ideas:[/u][/b] • Prefer External Audio: - This setting would recognize when external audio such as music from a different application on the console or audio from a device hooked in via auxiliary cord is playing, and do one of the selectable options below if "Prefer External Audio" is set to yes, or mute the external audio source if set to no. - Mute All Game Audio (except chat) - Mute Game Music - Lower All Game Audio (except chat) - Mute Game Music and Lower All Other Game Audio (except chat) • Dynamic Sliders: - These sliders would be right under the volume slider for each audio type, and they function in a similar way. Instead of changing how loud an audio type is, it changes it's dynamic range. Dynamic range is how loud or quiet something gets in a specific situation. For example, the music getting louder during a boss fight. The sliders would be defaulted to their current levels of dynamic range (Patch 1.0.3) to wherever that corresponds on the slider. The left end of the slider is no dynamic change at all, meaning that audio type directly follows the volume slider. All sounds of that audio type are the same volume, whether that sound is normally loud or quiet. The right end of the slide is full dynamic range, with the minimum volume of a sound being almost silent, and the maximum volume of a sound being whatever the volume slider is set at for that audio type.
