 In this video, I have four tips to improve the volume of footsteps while decreasing the volume of everything else so you can hear them clearer while not blowing out your eardrums. So my first tip is to turn on loudness equalization in the sound control panel on Windows 10. This will make the quiet and low sounds of the footsteps more amplified while not increasing the volume of everything else. So now that you have that turned on, make sure that you have a pair of quality headphones. This will make the sound of footsteps more precise because headphones allow for 360 audio. This will make it easier to tell if someone is left or right as well as up or down. Also, gaming headphones sometimes have surround sound. The latest version of surround sound is 7.1. This will make the accuracy of the enemy even clearer. There is actually an option in some games for special audio. For example, in ballerine there is an option for HRTF audio, and warzone, midnight mode in the audio settings to get a boost in fit step sounds. Sometimes you can tweak the fit step sounds in the settings file like in Apex. I will link this video below. My next tip is to turn off all other audio sliders except for sound effects, master volume, and voice chat. This will limit the distractions that your character is speaking or any music the game has. Try to also tweak the voice chat too because you don't want to have that too high. My last tip is for advanced users that want to tweak the equalization of the audio. Download Equalizer APO at their website or at the link below. Install the app. After that, choose your audio device and restart your PC. After that, go to your file explorer, program files, equalizer APO, config txt, and change negative 6 decibels to 6 decibels. Now your sounds should be equalized. I would recommend choosing this method or the first method because it might interfere with each other. So in conclusion, get a headset, adjust your settings, and you should be good to go. This helped me not only hear louder but also more precisely left or right and up and down. Sound is one of the most important things when playing a game and having it tweaked to your advantage can be a great way to help you play better.
