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

-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.

Get a better gaming headset. I can control every sound volume from Mine.

Music settings ? How about auto aim settings

Yes please no more music.

Would like to turn the music off

Archon Priest volume slider would be nice.

Bump! I have been thinking this forever.

[i]As much as I want this, I'm certain they will not add this. It is such a rudimentary element that if they didn't find it useful to add in the first place, it's doubtful they ever will. Which is a shame, because at times the sound is uncomfortably loud, making the wonderful audio sound they do have seem shabby. It's like having a really beautiful, sweet dog that won't stop -blam!-ing barking. I mean Jesus. [/i]

I would buy the dlc (both) and stop bitching on the forums for two full months if I could turn the damned game music off. That's my offer.
-
The fact that Bungie won't give us an option to turn the incessant music off is proof enough they don't care about their players. DeeJ doesn't care, nor does anyone else from Bungie. If you keep playing the game thinking so, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. A month after House of Wolves is released (no matter how many glitches it is plagued with) Bungie will stop patching and simply move on to release some other unfinished thing. But all you kids will ask your parents to preorder their next POS game, and will bitch on the forums about how broken it is.

I would settle for MUSIC ON / OFF really how -blam!-ing hard is that for bungie to provide... own legend? play any way you want? wtf are they drinking in Bellevue,

I started streaming my destiny gameplay on Twitch for fun (and i'm not giving my channel name here because advertising is not the point...), but the impossibility of leveling audio straight from my PS4 has force me to scream in my living room to be sure that the few watchers there catch at least one of my words (ask my neighbors...). Not every streamer has the budget to build a PC capable of manage video streaming and an audio mixer would help a lot of us. This is not entirely Bungie fault since Sony (or twitch) don't implement such feature in the built-in twitch app but it would "patch" the problem for the destiny streamers !

The original idea is good. It became convoluted though.
