Understanding sound is key to success in Warzone, as detecting enemy footsteps gives you a massive advantage on the battlefield, but you’ll need the best audio settings possible to do so.

Running a meta gun on warzone is crucial if you want to win matches, but you won’t get very far if your settings aren’t on point. While the battle royale has often been criticized for its poor audio, there are setting changes that help address these issues, both in the game and out.

Here are the best audio settings in warzone to make sure you’re hearing footsteps clearly.

Best audio settings in Warzone

Volumes: 

Master Volume 90

Gameplay Music Volume 0

Dialogue Volume 40

Effects Volume 80

Cinematic Music Volume 0

Enhanced Headphone Mode Off

Enhanced Headphone Mode is down to personal preference, but I’ve found the free “Universal” setting sounds worse than having it turned off. You’re welcome to try the free trial for the paid version to see if it improves things, but I’d recommend just sticking to the default audio.

How to use Loudness Equalization

1. Right-click the sound icon on your taskbar.
2. Select ‘Sounds.’
3. Head into the ‘Playback’ tab.
4. Find your audio device and right-click.
5. Select ‘Properties.’
6. Head into the ‘Enhancements’ tab.
7. Check the box next to ‘Loudness Equalization.’
8. Click ‘Apply’ to save the settings.

Loudness Equalization, or Loudness EQ, is a PC-only setting that makes footsteps easier to hear. It’s not available for console players, but if you’re on PC and want to hear footsteps as clearly as possible, you should give it a shot.
