Do you guys turn on loudness equalization? What's your eq settings? would appreciate it if you send some screenshots of your custom eq settings. I've been having a hard time hearing footsteps in which direction they are really coming from.
i never really changed the default sound options for the game except for removing the main menu music, agent select music and etc.
what i did have to do with hyperx cloud II im currently using was not using the 7.1 sound feature, sound gets all weird and its kinda hard to tell where someone's stepping.
Might just be me tho
"HRTF provides “simulated surround sound,” allowing you to more accurately hear audio from all directions"
