Another great video wish I was tech savvy on how to use this equipment program to help me on my Logitech G Pro X headset with a SoundBlaster G6 Mixamp smh 😞
Great video, I just bought some IEM's on sale. I downloaded PEACE GUI but still working on how to use it. Can you do a video for PC players? What app we should use for compressing sound for MW3? Also, how to set it up on PC, that would be great!
@jdennis78 Actually, I have not. The program I am using is okay, but if you know nothing about tuning, it's worthless. I have to talk to people who do know. Then you have the buy more equipment to get it to the right levels. So yeah. Also, what I have learned it's the game itself. It needs to be updated with better audio where you can tune! There are so many loud sounds! From the notifications, to kill streaks.
@@invest_9361 I agree 💯 wish u . It’s needs to balance for all gamers. It just feels that professional players and streamers have all the right equipment. And makes like if u don’t have it u can’t compete
Haha, had the same issue and found a method to make a footstep radar in the game to detect enemy location without even hearing the audio on PS5 and PC, I'll make a video about it soon.
@QueenNala487 that's what I'm trying to fix too. It's missing me off. Cod just never works right for me. But i get like no footsteps for 90% of the game. I keep getting taken out by people standing on top of me. Then watch kill cam and dude is making so much noise. Had one jump off a building hit ground run around behind me a little then take me out. I was cam and I'm just like how lol I use to stream and have like a 300 dollar headset and probably in the top 10 of headset and now it's useless.
@@blackstar6593 they deliberately do it that way, im on PC and can't hear shit but peoole on console can hear me very good. Giving console players edge over pc players once again if aim assist was and edge enough.
As a musician that plays extremely loud and distorted music without ear plugs for years I completely agree with your explanation on human hearing is 100 % spot on. Having the right headphones and setting will vary for every individual to hear everything. What gets me sometimes is the footsteps sometimes seem to bounce like off wall acoustics and echo from let's say the left but still hear them from the right were that being were the enemy is. Or sometimes when they're up stairs the sound can bounce of the floor throwing me off a lil. So I stick with that first direction I heard it from or my gut feeling. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed! I'm working on a new one which I'll show how to make a footstep radar in the game to detect enemy location without audio on PS5 and PC soon!
I can tell you, as a person who has Art of War audio running on my PC, there is literally no foot step sounds in specific parts of Rebirth and Urkistan maps. I e also noticed that the game eliminates most footstep sounds if sounds are coming from behind you. For example, zip lines, walking up stairs. If they are behind you doing either one of these, the odds that those sounds are produced are very minimal or doesn’t exist at all.
Great vid. This is my setup: I have a usb audio dongle that I use to connect 3.5mm jack to my line in on my pc. I have enabled all those settings you prescribed in the vid and been running them for a while after I did some testing myself (in game EQ, astro eq, 3D audio). I also have Loudness EQ enabled on my Game audio via pc and Microsoft Bass boost (@150hz +12db) and I feel like I can hear people miles away and perfectly crisp footsteps whilst also suppressing the really loud noises like the sound of my own gun. Quite OP, not perfect as sometimes at the start of a warzone game when there are planes flying etc the game prioritises a few things weirdly but it is still quite good even in those moments. I think this is the closest we can get to "art is war audio" on PS5 (though you still need a PC for loudness eq + microsoft bass boost). my next steps are improving my mixamp (currently have astro mixamp 2 channel, 16 bit 48000hz) and also my headset (currently using Astro A40TR). Do you have any suggestions (budget roughly 500 USD for Mixamp and headset/earbuds combo)?
Very interesting setup! when it come to PC integration and different setups, there's a lot that could be done, I'll try to cover them in upcoming videos, btw I'm working on a new method which I'll show how to make a footstep radar in the game to detect enemy location without audio on PS5 and PC soon!
And this works while your playing on your ps5? Might have to give it a try cause i have really bad audio on ps5. 6kd players but always die to no audio
I’ve got over a decade of audio engineering experience. I’ve tested all the mixes and Home Theater is the most balanced. Cinema is too flat (all the audio elements are extremely dull and anaemic) and the rest are too compressed. Drastically reducing the dynamic range will make footsteps louder, but it makes it harder to determine how close they are to you. On Home Theater, you can tell much easier how close players are to you (when the audio isn’t bugging out!) Louder doesn’t always equal better and can also cause ear fatigue to kick in quicker. Also the PS5’s 3D audio only works properly for games that support Sony’s Tempest audio engine. COD doesn’t support this and it can actually make the audio sound worse. It tries to force 3D (binaural) audio into the game and in the process, it screws up the stereo imaging.
Theres a setting on pc called loudness eq. It boosts mid range audio, and supresses the hogher range. Pretty much makes footateps as lous as normal gunfire, and the gunfire is quiet. It was so effective in mw2 last years CoD that you could hear people with dead silence across the map. Super cheesey from a gameplay perspective, but really good for someone like me. If the noise is too loud or quiet at any given point my ears ring, and that all i hear. I play my games at about a quarter of max volume
Great Video! I recommend switching of the Hit Marker Sounds as well. reduce to the max! you already have visual feedback for the hitmakers and the audios is just distracting especially when you get pushed while engaged in a fight.
@@DanielZH Thank YOU for all the amazing tips and work. Your channel is well appreciated! Not missing a single video and optimized everything to the max already - which honestly helped a lot on the technical side 😎
Great video bro, thanks. I noticed you suggest if the headphone is weak in treble use soundbar and 3d audio 12:43, than at 14:49 you suggest to use stereo if the headphone is strong at bass but weak in treble. I just want to ask if I am missing something.
Hi, thanks for mentioning, there are various kinds of headphones and how they respond in Bass (Low-Mid-High bass) and the same for treble, if the bass (100-250) is high in a headset than the neutral target, then I'd highly suggest stereo; if everything is close to target but only weak in treble (mid, such as 4K to 8K) it's best to not use 3D, because that makes sounds muffled especially that MW3 doesn't use Tempest 3D Engine. overall, due to multiple factors it ended up in some missing concepts, to make it simpler: 1- If a headset is only weak in treble, using soundbar would be good, you won't feel too much of gunshots loudness 2- I suggest stereo audio if with your current mix and settings, the game sound muffled (Based on how your headset sounds)

AiW is sketchy tho, there were some vids on him, if you’re on pc you’re better off just using loudness eq, and if you’re bougie with go xlr you can tune your volume, and another thing if you use Astros you can go to Astro command center and turn down the far left volume bar ( I don’t remember the numbers) and it works just like AiW but without downloading a bunch of shit
Glad to hear that, Pulse Elite is good but I hope they fix the high pitch noise when there's no audio, Thanks for the idea! I already have an HDR - Graphics settings for this game here: ruclips.net/video/529DN5Dfnf4/видео.html
Great video! Would really like to see what impact routing audio via PC and applying compression could have versus the default audio and what settings would be best!
Thanks, that's Coming soon! + I'm working on a new one which I'll show how to make a footstep radar in the game to detect enemy location without audio on PS5 and PC soon!
I think sometimes my hearing is different. I am on a $18 headset plugged into controller on PS5. Audio is set to stereo and sound bar in Warzone. I can hear better than what I expected including footsteps. It comes from years of listening to COD audio. It is true to train your brain. COD is fun when you do this and predict what people are going to do. When you learn to not get excited and listen for minor audio ques, if an enemy changes direction is the difference. Sometimes I get called a cheater. Settings help but you have to put the time in to understand this.
The biggest issue is by far the audio priority systems design, because it is designed specifically to adjust the sound levels on the fly based on the priority, this is why search and destroy players always complain about footsteps being ridiculously loud, and respawn players in more active matches, complain about not hearing the footsteps at all. I remember reading about the system during MWII, they said theyre trying to simulate the way the human ear adjusts to some sounds being louder than others. Our ears are already going to do that, why similate it when it already happens? In old cods you could manage to pick up on footstep audio with harriers loud jet engines blaring. Sure it was harder, but the actual volume level of the footsteps seems the same. This is an online multiplayer, that insists on strict sbmm, and has a competetive league, just give it a consistent audio mix. Set each thing at a specific level in the audio mix, obviously tie it to distance, even add occlusion/reflection. But footstep volume shouldn't be going up or down 20db in the audio mix depending on if there is gunfire, or streaks. This is especially interesting when you think about warzone, I've seen some clips where the footstep audio was non existent, due to a fairly distant airstrike. It was far away so its sound level was lower, but its priority was presumably still high, forcing other lower priority sounds to decrease in volume. Its unnecessary, and negatively impacts the consistency of using audio cues in potentially competetive environments.
I agree on many of points you made, exactly we wouldn't need such strict incomplete audio design in an MP game! sure it could be nice in story games but when it comes to COD it's so inconsistent.
Great video and info!!!!! Never stop doign what you do!!!!!! Very awesome. I was playing with these setting and noticed a lot of what you are talking about. It is easier to notice the differences with a cheap haeadset too.
Great video and very interesting!! You open a great debate, perhaps a future video where you try integration with the PC would be interesting, it is clear that it is below the equalization options through a PC. Perhaps a video with the possibility of seeing the use of a DAC that enhances the sounds of footsteps would also be interesting. Thanks and great job!!
I’m glad I I was able to give you the idea to do this my dude I suggested it on your Discord and I’m very grateful that you did it. Thank you very much and I’m very grateful you producer content and thank you for making this video. I appreciate you greatly.
Thanks for the idea! BTW I noticed the Automatic bot kicked you out of the server because of too many Hello at the same time 😅, send a message to my DM so I'll bring you back.
You want to hear footsteps better in COD ? Start by throwing your "gaming" headset in the trash and play with IEM's. There's a reason why the majority of streamers use them now. They have a lot clearer, cleaner sound and pick up a bunch more detail.
Love the video…… but understanding it and applying it? I’m lost. I’m on Xbox with a DAC/Amp from the Astro A40’s, and use the P38X headset from Sennheiser. Trying to make sense of where their strengths and weaknesses are and apply the correct settings and EQ settings. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for your time and all your content! Subbed!
Hey dan good vid again… one question, what controller do u prefer for small hands ? Edge or apex 4 ? Which have better back buttons placements for small hands ?
Hi, it's a bit hard to tell, but Apex 4 is probably better for smaller hands, + you have 4 back buttons, the distance between L1 R1 L2 R2 is also less than Edge in Apex 4.
I am a pro sound engineer/dummer. And always gamed since 98’ so I got an Apollo interface, now I use it as my main audio interface and only. It has one of the best compressor’s ever created LA1176 so I use it and a Fairchild EQ… it’s all good and perfect for me with tons of dynamic and limiting controls but it is 1K$ for the interface but I am a pro creator so it was worth it in Warzone. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ thanks for all the tips
Multitasking is a myth. The brain can only focus on one thing at a time. Some people may be able to switch focus faster than others but it is still only one subject at a time. Also, not everyone hears the same frequencies the same. Younger people tend to have a larger range and old people tend to lose the higher end frequencies.
Thanks for adding additional detail and information to this video. It's even more interesting that even the same person may not hear the same with both ears, even on ideal situations with no problem in their ear.
@@DanielZH having a consistent good seal helps. Consistency is more important with In Ear Monitors/IEMs because of the way they go in the ear as opposed to covering the entire ear with a headphone. With IEMs it can sound great and then you move it for comfort and the whole auditory experience changes.
Hi, thanks so much, what do you mean meet warzone? Are you looking for a specific result? in the next video I show how to use Edge settings to get a real linear curve
@@DanielZH What I meant in details , the sensitivity in MW3 Warzone differs from the PS5 console joystick sensitivity. Having said that , I wish to understand how can both sensitivity console joystick and in game sensitivity meet for a better aiming results ? Thanks and I hope I have explained well.
Hi, Pulse 3D is an OK headset, however since season 4, the footsteps are quieter overall, I felt the same and that was one of the reasons making this video!
Danial clarify this about controllers I read this today, “DUALSENSE controllers are 250Hz over USB and 800Hz over Bluetooth, the same as DUALSHOCK 4. All USB ports are locked to 250mhz unless tampered with, so if you plug your controller in, you are at a lower poll rate, whether you're on PC or PS5. If you plug your controller in on PS5, it will still work at 800mhz, unless you change an option in your settings to allow control via USB. If you change that, it will allow you to control via the cable but only at 250mhz. Have at it, but unless you're playing in an environment with lots of radio disruption / microwave use, you're not going to see any benefit with a cable. There's quite a bit more to add re polling points and calibration fudges, but it's not necessary here.” Is this true? On ps4 I know the ports were limited to 250hz but is it like that on ps5 too! You tested it but isn’t that or wouldn’t that be showing what the rate is for on pc since ur running it through that? Correct me if wrong
Hi, the method I used for testing Edge is copying the USB signal with a USB Dev kit where it'll show the current status and when it was connected to PS5, it was at 1000Hz polling rate (USB) not sure how they tested that, but I'm currently incapable of any other kinds of polling rate tests on Console as the PC in between is the only method, however when we test input lag in-games, and Edge has a lower input lag, that proves the polling rate is probably higher in Edge, or I might be wrong, but one thing that I'm sure about is that Edge on USB has less input lag on PS5 than BT.
Hi, i would like to see your measurements on gunshot frequencies and maybe some compressing settings.. i would really like to lower them, not for footsteps, but to prevent blowing my eardrums.
@@DanielZHThank you, sir. That would be much appreciated. I use DT 900 pro x with toping e30 ii stack, some eq and a bit of compression in equalizer apo. But still needs some further investigation.
Hi Daniel, what lg tv sound settings do you recommend for jbl flip 6 ? I connect it through my tv via bluetooth . Should i bitstream or pcm or dts? Thank you😊
Yo Daniel I figured out something that will blow your mind with the dualsense edge. Instead of using quick on the left stick in cod try using precise on the least curve setting. Like the one closest to linear. You barely notice it while moving but I swear to god it jacks the crap out of aim assist because it makes your left stick WAY more stable while aiming. Time for a new video haha.
That doesn't make any sense whatsoever, bcuz the hyperx already has a dac that has 3d audio im pretty sure. So using 3d and 3d in Playstation is worst combo. I would like to know whats the perfect settings for hyperx cloud 2?
I just ordered SteelSeries Nova Pro headset with gamedac. What frequency is have to boost to hear footsteps better ? And what frequency are airstrikes ? Thanks
Hi, I'll try to test Xbox for future videos, Currently I didn't have access to one and I borrow from my friends occasionally, but I'm saving to get an Xbox soon!
Some people got some type of software that makes their footsteps lower I’ve been killed completely silent and when watching killcam I don’t hear their footsteps this game is chalked
Please make a video on applying compression from PC to ps5. Us ps5 users litteraly have no audio, we defo need an in death video on how to use a PC connected to a ps5 to help it
Sure I will! I'm working on a new one which I'll show how to make a footstep radar in the game to detect enemy location without audio on PS5 and PC that will makes things much easier!
this video is amazing, do you have a tip for exactly how loud i should set my pulse elites? because i see what you are saying and now that i think about it, when i turn my headset way up, maybe i hear better at first but the super loud gunshots also muffle everything else. great tips
Hi, thanks, for Pulse Elite, I personally use the EQ I showed with Soundbar mix, 3D Audio Enabled and Linear PCM, however after recent updates footsteps are overall a bit quieter.
@@futbolskillz1232 at the beginning of season 4 I felt they're not as loud anymore, however I couldn't prove it because didn't have access to previous test files from season 3, but now I'm keeping new test so after new updates I can compare them if there's a change in volume.
Ok , sooo i have hyper x hedset wierless, when i shoot i cant hear footsteps near me , or at least i hear 2 last steps and than is 2 late , big problem is i dont know the direction of sound , left , right not so bad but what is above and below it kills me in 90% of cases , whein i get back i will try Teufel headset (230) € to see the diffrence bcz i try manny profiles from LG hub but it doesent work and i tried all sound settings in game it is a nightmare
I have TRUTHEAR x crinacle zero red, they have a 20 ohm cable, I plug them into the xbox series s gamepad and it’s just terrible. The sounds of gunfire are UNREALLY loud, and the footsteps are VERY quiet. I do not know what to do
This has NEVER been an issue in any game I’ve played EXCEPT FOR BLACK OPS 4’s BLACKOUT MODE. I just wanna unlock Dempsey and I keep getting sneak attacked 😭
Hi, based on the OG profile I've seen on Rtings, TV mode or Soundbar should be best, as Bass is already too high on 100-120Hz, it's best to change EQ, fix mid and treble, then 3D Audio would be good too.
Yes! I also sometimes use stereo speakers, because using headset a lot may cause headache. Depending on your TV speakers capabilities and how loud it can get, I suggest either headphones mode or soundbar, however if the TV speakers are weak, TV mode could be a better choice, and 3D Audio for TV isn't recommended at all!
Hi, for hyperx cloud 2, based on Rtings Response test, I suggest not using Bass boost (never) but also trying soundbar mix or TV mode, since highs are weak in 3 to 5KHz, try using EQ and make it neutral with the provided link if you're on PC or if the headset can save EQ on itself.
Honestly the game is just inconsistent with the footsteps. Some times i can hear them a mile away. But other times i hear them when the enemy is already right behind me. Or other times i dont hear them at all.
@@DanielZH welcome 🤣. You see i was talking about ps5 and not pc. And right now if you can share the best eq setting for new steelseries nova 5 p it's will be cool.
@DanielZH it's funny, in the patch notes they said they improved audio. Also I started having this problem like yesterday, and it isn't just footsteps, it's everything, even the game menu sounds super quiet, but when I shoot a gun it's ear piercing loud. It's like I have the biggest dynamic range ever, even though I'm using sound bar.
دانیال جان من یه میکروفون usb اما ps5slim دارم و جلوی دستگاه فقط تایپ سی وجود داره و با هاب ها نمیتونم میکروفونو وصل کنم،چیکار باید بکنم یا چه میکروفونی بگیرم؟❤
Please explain me this…I can hear the footsteps of my teammates and my own as loud as elephants. Or can hear Enemy’s Steps in buildings 50m away…but can’t hear an enemy when he comes straight behind me or jumping in the same house as me! Or in other words…i can hear ALL steps that completely unimportant for me, and can’t hear ONE SINGLE important step! Tell me what you want…this game is broke as hell. Simply as that…

AiW is sketchy tho, there were some vids on him, if you’re on pc you’re better off just using loudness eq, and if you’re bougie with go xlr you can tune your volume, and another thing if you use Astros you can go to Astro command center and turn down the far left volume bar ( I don’t remember the numbers) and it works just like AiW but without downloading a bunch of shit
@@taukoj thanks for the input
I didn’t know about the vids on AIW
I’ll keep it in mind, thanks 🙏
What’s the best seetings for my Astro A50 X & Ps5? 😊
I can hear alot better with the pulse elite now. Thanks. You should do a monitor settings video for hdr and sdr for warzone . That would be awesome
Glad to hear that, Pulse Elite is good but I hope they fix the high pitch noise when there's no audio, Thanks for the idea! I already have an HDR - Graphics settings for this game here: ruclips.net/video/529DN5Dfnf4/видео.html
Great video! Would really like to see what impact routing audio via PC and applying compression could have versus the default audio and what settings would be best!
Thanks, that's Coming soon! + I'm working on a new one which I'll show how to make a footstep radar in the game to detect enemy location without audio on PS5 and PC soon!
I think sometimes my hearing is different. I am on a $18 headset plugged into controller on PS5. Audio is set to stereo and sound bar in Warzone. I can hear better than what I expected including footsteps. It comes from years of listening to COD audio. It is true to train your brain. COD is fun when you do this and predict what people are going to do. When you learn to not get excited and listen for minor audio ques, if an enemy changes direction is the difference. Sometimes I get called a cheater. Settings help but you have to put the time in to understand this.
Exactly! The more you know the maps and predictions, the easier it gets!
Best vids on COD ever! 🐐 ❤🎉
Wow, Thanks 💙🙏
The biggest issue is by far the audio priority systems design, because it is designed specifically to adjust the sound levels on the fly based on the priority, this is why search and destroy players always complain about footsteps being ridiculously loud, and respawn players in more active matches, complain about not hearing the footsteps at all. I remember reading about the system during MWII, they said theyre trying to simulate the way the human ear adjusts to some sounds being louder than others. Our ears are already going to do that, why similate it when it already happens? In old cods you could manage to pick up on footstep audio with harriers loud jet engines blaring. Sure it was harder, but the actual volume level of the footsteps seems the same. This is an online multiplayer, that insists on strict sbmm, and has a competetive league, just give it a consistent audio mix. Set each thing at a specific level in the audio mix, obviously tie it to distance, even add occlusion/reflection. But footstep volume shouldn't be going up or down 20db in the audio mix depending on if there is gunfire, or streaks. This is especially interesting when you think about warzone, I've seen some clips where the footstep audio was non existent, due to a fairly distant airstrike. It was far away so its sound level was lower, but its priority was presumably still high, forcing other lower priority sounds to decrease in volume. Its unnecessary, and negatively impacts the consistency of using audio cues in potentially competetive environments.
I agree on many of points you made, exactly we wouldn't need such strict incomplete audio design in an MP game! sure it could be nice in story games but when it comes to COD it's so inconsistent.
Great video and info!!!!! Never stop doign what you do!!!!!! Very awesome. I was playing with these setting and noticed a lot of what you are talking about. It is easier to notice the differences with a cheap haeadset too.
Thanks so much! I'll try to do more tests and experience with new tools and upgrade the information in future videos! Keep coming 🙂
Great video and very interesting!! You open a great debate, perhaps a future video where you try integration with the PC would be interesting, it is clear that it is below the equalization options through a PC. Perhaps a video with the possibility of seeing the use of a DAC that enhances the sounds of footsteps would also be interesting. Thanks and great job!!
Hi, thanks, yes I will cover the PC integration soon which will create an audio map for footsteps too!
Daniel always comes thru...
🙏
I’m glad I I was able to give you the idea to do this my dude I suggested it on your Discord and I’m very grateful that you did it. Thank you very much and I’m very grateful you producer content and thank you for making this video. I appreciate you greatly.
Thanks for the idea! BTW I noticed the Automatic bot kicked you out of the server because of too many Hello at the same time 😅, send a message to my DM so I'll bring you back.
@DanielZH do you have any setting for the steel nova pro engine setting for the ps5 warzone? Thanks
These settings are so good it feels like I can hear other players breathing 😂😂
😅 - what headphones do you use?
@@DanielZH I use thr pulse 3D elite headphones and I pre fire corners now cause I can hear exactly where they are 😂😂
@@niko.d.forbes7613 Nice! Pulse Elite is actually a good one!
I thought every time that headphone bass boost is best...
if a headset's Bass is weak, then yes!
@@DanielZH thanks bro🫡
I’m just gonna say WOW 😮 excelente trabajo!
Thanks so much 🙏
You want to hear footsteps better in COD ? Start by throwing your "gaming" headset in the trash and play with IEM's. There's a reason why the majority of streamers use them now. They have a lot clearer, cleaner sound and pick up a bunch more detail.
Very good idea, I'll give IEM's a try and will share my review, thanks!
Love the video…… but understanding it and applying it? I’m lost. I’m on Xbox with a DAC/Amp from the Astro A40’s, and use the P38X headset from Sennheiser. Trying to make sense of where their strengths and weaknesses are and apply the correct settings and EQ settings. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for your time and all your content! Subbed!
Hey dan good vid again… one question, what controller do u prefer for small hands ? Edge or apex 4 ? Which have better back buttons placements for small hands ?
Hi, it's a bit hard to tell, but Apex 4 is probably better for smaller hands, + you have 4 back buttons, the distance between L1 R1 L2 R2 is also less than Edge in Apex 4.
good video, shout out here from Brazil.
Hey, thanks! and nice to meet you!
I am a pro sound engineer/dummer. And always gamed since 98’ so I got an Apollo interface, now I use it as my main audio interface and only. It has one of the best compressor’s ever created LA1176 so I use it and a Fairchild EQ… it’s all good and perfect for me with tons of dynamic and limiting controls but it is 1K$ for the interface but I am a pro creator so it was worth it in Warzone. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ thanks for all the tips
Thanks so much for sharing info and your experiences! 🙏🙏
Multitasking is a myth. The brain can only focus on one thing at a time. Some people may be able to switch focus faster than others but it is still only one subject at a time.
Also, not everyone hears the same frequencies the same. Younger people tend to have a larger range and old people tend to lose the higher end frequencies.
Thanks for adding additional detail and information to this video.
It's even more interesting that even the same person may not hear the same with both ears, even on ideal situations with no problem in their ear.
@@DanielZH having a consistent good seal helps. Consistency is more important with In Ear Monitors/IEMs because of the way they go in the ear as opposed to covering the entire ear with a headphone. With IEMs it can sound great and then you move it for comfort and the whole auditory experience changes.
Make a video about the Astro mix amps, it helps a lot as well if people can’t afford PC’s and just wanna stick to console
Thanks for the idea, I'll be covering and testing that for future videos!
Hi Danial , I love your videos and I wonder if you can make a video of ps5 edge controller sensitivity explanations to meet warzone sensitivity
Hi, thanks so much, what do you mean meet warzone? Are you looking for a specific result? in the next video I show how to use Edge settings to get a real linear curve
@@DanielZH What I meant in details , the sensitivity in MW3 Warzone differs from the PS5 console joystick sensitivity. Having said that , I wish to understand how can both sensitivity console joystick and in game sensitivity meet for a better aiming results ? Thanks and I hope I have explained well.
Are the Pulse 3D for PS5 a good headset for Warzone? Since season 4 I’m not hearing much footsteps and its the same for my teammates.
Hi, Pulse 3D is an OK headset, however since season 4, the footsteps are quieter overall, I felt the same and that was one of the reasons making this video!
@@DanielZH Oh okay I understand and thank you. Could you recommend a better headset for PS5?
Danial clarify this about controllers I read this today,
“DUALSENSE controllers are 250Hz over USB and 800Hz over Bluetooth, the same as DUALSHOCK 4.
All USB ports are locked to 250mhz unless tampered with, so if you plug your controller in, you are at a lower poll rate, whether you're on PC or PS5.
If you plug your controller in on PS5, it will still work at 800mhz, unless you change an option in your settings to allow control via USB. If you change that, it will allow you to control via the cable but only at 250mhz.
Have at it, but unless you're playing in an environment with lots of radio disruption / microwave use, you're not going to see any benefit with a cable.
There's quite a bit more to add re polling points and calibration fudges, but it's not necessary here.” Is this true? On ps4 I know the ports were limited to 250hz but is it like that on ps5 too! You tested it but isn’t that or wouldn’t that be showing what the rate is for on pc since ur running it through that? Correct me if wrong
this guy recorded vids using xinputtest if you know what that is to check polling rate and uploaded vids about it and all that. @danial zh
Plz lmk @danial zh
Hi, the method I used for testing Edge is copying the USB signal with a USB Dev kit where it'll show the current status and when it was connected to PS5, it was at 1000Hz polling rate (USB) not sure how they tested that, but I'm currently incapable of any other kinds of polling rate tests on Console as the PC in between is the only method, however when we test input lag in-games, and Edge has a lower input lag, that proves the polling rate is probably higher in Edge, or I might be wrong, but one thing that I'm sure about is that Edge on USB has less input lag on PS5 than BT.
@@DanielZH ok thanks for clearing this up, they used xinputtest or some like that
@@DanielZH so edge usb has less input lag on all games rather than Bluetooth?
Hi, i would like to see your measurements on gunshot frequencies and maybe some compressing settings.. i would really like to lower them, not for footsteps, but to prevent blowing my eardrums.
Hi, yes I will do it, I also don't like too loud gunshots!
@@DanielZHThank you, sir. That would be much appreciated. I use DT 900 pro x with toping e30 ii stack, some eq and a bit of compression in equalizer apo. But still needs some further investigation.
What headphones you use or recommend
audeze maxwell or Arctis Nova Pro or 7P are good choices IMO. but there are a lot more brands you can look after, depends on the price range too.
@@DanielZH i feel like the maxwell for fps are not it, from all research ive done they’re towards more “realistic scenery” more than anything else
If there’s a airstrike or mortar strike I get zero footstep audio.
That's normal, because they're too loud!
@@DanielZH even if the air strike is not on me I struggle tbh.
Is it me, or did they nerf foot step this last couple weeks. I was hearing them so good. now they are almost gone
Yea they nerfed footstep sounds severely. XclusiveAce made a video on it
Yes, it doesn't sound as loud anymore, way more quieter...
So this happen when they nerf the mp footstep.
in the previous opuses the sound of footsteps was audible, I think that it is simply a desire of the developers that they heard nothing
After season 4 update it became quieter... sadly.
My only issue is reducing the sound of those constant precision air strikes and mortars. I can't hear ANYTHING when those are going on
Same, sadly there’s no option to reduce those, and they are too loud!
Same, sadly there’s no option to reduce those, and they are too loud!

Hi Daniel, what lg tv sound settings do you recommend for jbl flip 6 ? I connect it through my tv via bluetooth . Should i bitstream or pcm or dts? Thank you😊
Yo Daniel I figured out something that will blow your mind with the dualsense edge. Instead of using quick on the left stick in cod try using precise on the least curve setting. Like the one closest to linear. You barely notice it while moving but I swear to god it jacks the crap out of aim assist because it makes your left stick WAY more stable while aiming. Time for a new video haha.
Hmm, I'll test and see how would Edge curves affect the in-game settings and will share the results in future videos! Thanks for the idea.
I'm using high end headphones, Dolby Atmos on or off, I can't hear nothing
Bro 👊🏻 thanks game changer, now with the hyperx cloud 2 I play 3D sound and tv and low volume I hear overal better and can concentrate better
Glad I could help 🤜🤛
That doesn't make any sense whatsoever, bcuz the hyperx already has a dac that has 3d audio im pretty sure. So using 3d and 3d in Playstation is worst combo. I would like to know whats the perfect settings for hyperx cloud 2?
I always hear farting and grunting sounds. Like pooping and sex at the same time.
😲😳
DanielGOD! Tks dude
Thanks so much!
Cant hear them cause my volume is zero, i have earbuds in, and im listening to music.
Great one! Focus on what you see then!
What about Loudness Equalization on PC?
I just ordered SteelSeries Nova Pro headset with gamedac. What frequency is have to boost to hear footsteps better ? And what frequency are airstrikes ? Thanks
Can you do Xbox and also Dolby atmos settings
Hi, I'll try to test Xbox for future videos, Currently I didn't have access to one and I borrow from my friends occasionally, but I'm saving to get an Xbox soon!
Settings for PC would be great
Yes, will do it!
Some people got some type of software that makes their footsteps lower I’ve been killed completely silent and when watching killcam I don’t hear their footsteps this game is chalked
Huh! That’s cheating if they could do that
hey bro seen your videos nd i liked them.but is there any chanse that you can make a dolby atmos eq for iems? i would really apreciate it❤
Thanks bro I like your videos
So nice of you
Please make a video on applying compression from PC to ps5.
Us ps5 users litteraly have no audio, we defo need an in death video on how to use a PC connected to a ps5 to help it
Sure I will! I'm working on a new one which I'll show how to make a footstep radar in the game to detect enemy location without audio on PS5 and PC that will makes things much easier!
What do you think about the Astro A50 bro?
What headset do you recommend for call of duty on ps5 as that's all I play 😂
Hi, audeze maxwell is my choice, been a few weeks I'm using it and it's truly one of the best! however, Nova 7P is also a very good choice too!
@@DanielZHnice, you finally got it! Can you make a video for ps5 about them?
@@MatyCrads Thanks, Yes I probably cover it in a video for multiple games and tips!
this video is amazing, do you have a tip for exactly how loud i should set my pulse elites? because i see what you are saying and now that i think about it, when i turn my headset way up, maybe i hear better at first but the super loud gunshots also muffle everything else. great tips
Hi, thanks, for Pulse Elite, I personally use the EQ I showed with Soundbar mix, 3D Audio Enabled and Linear PCM, however after recent updates footsteps are overall a bit quieter.
@@DanielZH that’s annoying that footsteps got even quieter, I felt like something was up. Do you know which exact update that was and when it came out
@@futbolskillz1232 at the beginning of season 4 I felt they're not as loud anymore, however I couldn't prove it because didn't have access to previous test files from season 3, but now I'm keeping new test so after new updates I can compare them if there's a change in volume.
@@DanielZH ohhh nice
Why it is so abviuos for us Persians who is Persian and who is not love you brother ❤
My name is Danial too bhai saab😁
Nice to meet you!
Turtle beach stealth 600 gen 2 best settings and which eq preset to use on headset ?
Ok , sooo i have hyper x hedset wierless, when i shoot i cant hear footsteps near me , or at least i hear 2 last steps and than is 2 late , big problem is i dont know the direction of sound , left , right not so bad but what is above and below it kills me in 90% of cases , whein i get back i will try Teufel headset (230) € to see the diffrence bcz i try manny profiles from LG hub but it doesent work and i tried all sound settings in game it is a nightmare
I have TRUTHEAR x crinacle zero red, they have a 20 ohm cable, I plug them into the xbox series s gamepad and it’s just terrible. The sounds of gunfire are UNREALLY loud, and the footsteps are VERY quiet. I do not know what to do
I dont know why they have seprate settings on how you can tweak gun audio, atmosphere audio, killstreaks etc.
If they would give us that option that'd be amazing...
Hi really like ur videos, quite unique, quik question can u make a video sertings for modern warfare 2019, know its old. On xbox thanks
Hi, thanks, I currently don't have the 2019 installed, not sure if I will have time to cover that.
It's ok. Thanks for your reply. Keep the vids coming.
This has NEVER been an issue in any game I’ve played EXCEPT FOR BLACK OPS 4’s BLACKOUT MODE. I just wanna unlock Dempsey and I keep getting sneak attacked 😭
it happened since COD tried realism and the audio priorities are so incomplete in the game...
Any advice for people using NOT using a headset, who prefer TV volume or Soundbars?
Hi, if your TV or soundbar is strong enough, I suggest Headphones mode, otherwise the soundbar.
Tbh Cod just needs to add the visual audio indicator that Fortnite has.
Agree!
Hi Daniel!
I have the Turtle Beach Stealth pro. What do you recommend? On mw3 to use?
Hi, based on the OG profile I've seen on Rtings, TV mode or Soundbar should be best, as Bass is already too high on 100-120Hz, it's best to change EQ, fix mid and treble, then 3D Audio would be good too.
Thanks for the Video, i have a PS5 with Astro A50. Which Seeting are good?
Hi, you're welcome, I suggest Soundbar for that, of course depending on your EQ settings, you can try TV mode too! 3D Audio and LPCM.
Can you do eq for rainbow six, rust and cod for the hyperx cloud alpha?
Interesting that in beta mw2 sounds was great
Yeah
Hey, can you do an updated video on settings to use for the controller, please for call of duty warzone
Hi, I already shared a video about the best settings I personally use here: ruclips.net/video/429Hj9O7hsc/видео.html
@@DanielZH thanks dan
Please make the settings. Astro A50 headphones and dolby equalizer
Could you recommend tv audio settings for people who don’t always used headset?
Yes! I also sometimes use stereo speakers, because using headset a lot may cause headache.
Depending on your TV speakers capabilities and how loud it can get, I suggest either headphones mode or soundbar, however if the TV speakers are weak, TV mode could be a better choice, and 3D Audio for TV isn't recommended at all!
@@DanielZH thanks bro
Hello Dan i would like to know whats the best settings for hyperx cloud 2 or the razer black shark v2 x?
Hi, for hyperx cloud 2, based on Rtings Response test, I suggest not using Bass boost (never) but also trying soundbar mix or TV mode, since highs are weak in 3 to 5KHz, try using EQ and make it neutral with the provided link if you're on PC or if the headset can save EQ on itself.
Honestly the game is just inconsistent with the footsteps. Some times i can hear them a mile away. But other times i hear them when the enemy is already right behind me. Or other times i dont hear them at all.
yes there are many issues when it comes to audio in COD.
Nice vidéo 👍🏻
Thanks!
@@DanielZH welcome 🤣. You see i was talking about ps5 and not pc. And right now if you can share the best eq setting for new steelseries nova 5 p it's will be cool.
I hear them fine.
That's great! :)
I could hear footsteps fine untill recently. I got on the game and everysingle sound that wasnt a gunshot is super quiet. No idea why.
After season 4, I noticed Footsteps are quieter than before.
@DanielZH it's funny, in the patch notes they said they improved audio. Also I started having this problem like yesterday, and it isn't just footsteps, it's everything, even the game menu sounds super quiet, but when I shoot a gun it's ear piercing loud. It's like I have the biggest dynamic range ever, even though I'm using sound bar.
دانیال جان من یه میکروفون usb اما ps5slim دارم و جلوی دستگاه فقط تایپ سی وجود داره و با هاب ها نمیتونم میکروفونو وصل کنم،چیکار باید بکنم یا چه میکروفونی بگیرم؟❤
Anyone have any recommendations for the IEMs KZ ZS10 pro?? Struggling rn
Airstrikes and game achievements are so loud
The fact that none of this is communicated through the game effectivey enough. Plus network issues seems like it messes with audio localization😊
Yes the network affection on audio is huge for this game!
For Logitech G430 ps5, best settings?
hi , know if yur spectating , ur able to hear more then the player yur watching , thats insane that ,
Yes in that moment COD stops some parts of processing that’s why it sounds better
The master volume should it remain on 100 or lower to 50?
Does that affect footstep audio? Or is that only for effects volume.
Hi, the master volume is like changing your TV audio, will affect everything
@@DanielZH thank you bro
Hi Danial, but is it possible that by deactivating HDCP I hear the sounds in Warzone much louder and clearer? even the steps
Hi, not actually, HDCP can help with less HDMI input delay, but not louder audio.
I have the Sony inzone h9 headset what Audio Profile should I use for mw3 or in general for this headset dolpy Atmos or linear pcm etc?
Hi, Linear PCM is my opinion.
should i put my pc on 16 bit then? or 24bit audio is fine, i guess 16 bit has less dynamic range, so might be better?
Hi, the dynamic range is the same, and 16bit works just as fine as 24bit... at least in COD!
Please explain me this…I can hear the footsteps of my teammates and my own as loud as elephants. Or can hear Enemy’s Steps in buildings 50m away…but can’t hear an enemy when he comes straight behind me or jumping in the same house as me! Or in other words…i can hear ALL steps that completely unimportant for me, and can’t hear ONE SINGLE important step! Tell me what you want…this game is broke as hell. Simply as that…
Yes that issue is due to Games’s inconsistent audio processing sadly
My problem with this game is I can’t tell if they are above or below me. In pubg I can easily know. Its so weird
The same problem goes here, try stereo, however it's a game problem, but I'm trying to find a way to fix that.
