The best audio settings

Volume

Here we have the best settings for the volume levels:

• Audio Mix – Treble Boost
• Overall volume – 50
• Music volume – 0
• Dialog volume – 100
• Effect volume – 100
• Cinematic volume – 0
• Juggernaut music – Off
• Hit sound effect – Classic
• Mono Audio – Off
• Mono Amount – 100

We turn down the overall volume a bit and turn off the music completely. Instead, we turn up the effects and dialogs. Why dialogs as well, you ask? Simple, operators in Warzone often shout what they are doing for some reason. For example, if an enemy nearby needs to reload, you’ll often hear them say that too, as well as when they set up a claymore.

Voice Chat

However, since voice chat is at least as important, we have some specific settings for it as well:

• Voice Chat – Enabled
• Open mic recording limit – 4.16
• Voice chat volume – 250
• Micro volume – 150
• Voice chat effect – No effect

We turn up the volume on our teammates significantly because they’re usually a little too quiet. Always remember when playing in a squad that communication is the key to winning.

The best audio mix

The best audio mix in Warzone to hear footsteps as loud as possible is the treble boost. Footsteps have a high audio frequency, more distant explosions and gunfire tend to have a low one. If you want to experiment a bit, you can also try the midnight mode, which reduces louder effects a bit and thus emphasizes quieter sounds.

Uses a headset

Now that we’ve covered the best audio settings, the question is of course what else you can do. After all, the best settings won’t do you any good if you’re playing in your living room with the TV’s speakers playing while someone is vacuuming next door. So if you really want to play very competitively, a halfway decent headset is actually a must. In order to be able to locate step noises well, it is advantageous to have surround sound and to reduce or even completely fade out ambient noise. This is easiest with a good headset and at the same time you have a microphone to chat with your comrades. Fortunately, there is a huge range of headsets in every price range for PC and Xbox, but the PlayStation is a bit lacking. If you want good 3D sound technology, you are practically forced to use the Sony Pulse. But who knows, after the takeover of Activision by Microsoft, Call of Duty might soon no longer be available on the PlayStation anyway…
