For me both hifi and night mode have different advantages and disadvantages. For hi fi it helps me realize where on the map gunfire is coming from so i can kinda pinpoint where the enemy is at rather above or below, it also helps with fuse charges and explosions. Night mode helps me with enemy footsteps and those low sounds. Almost everytime in nightmode throughout gunfire and etc you can still hear someone coming up steps or creeks and little noises that gives you a heads up.
@@kingku1793 I like Hifi better for footsteps because it’s more clear where they’re coming from. They’re more clear on night mode but way harder to tell exactly where they’re at
Follow up, people don't realise how important it is not relentlessly shuffle or move around... Your own noise can muffle the noise. Your own clips in this video demonstrate this. You can see you isolating the sound. Before reacting (prefire etc)
soundstage issue, better headphones with emphasis on good soundstage would fix this. had the same issue with my corsair headphones basically, any gaming headphones youre gonna have that issue, thats why most people have independent headphones and a mic
I tried night mode for 2 weeks then Hi Fi for 2 weeks. Then i switched to Night mode for 1 game and died to a fuze because i thought it was far away.(it was right next to me) Hi Fi helps you pin point where sounds are, i found myself hearing sound queues and immediately visualising the map and where the sound came from. Though i wonder if i switched to night mode again for another 2 weeks if i would feel the same way. Try both, eventually you might stay on one and forget to switch back.
my biggest complaint about the sound in siege was the fact that directional sound was atrocious on my cloud II.... turning off the 7.1 switch made such a big difference
Honestly most surround sound is kinda bs. Some of it kinda works in certain games but 99% of the time people will be better off using a good pair of stereo headphones. In fact you may even get better “surround sound” performance out of them like in your case
trying to listen to sound cues but all you hear is the 14yo on your team screaming "HES RIGHT THERE HES RIGHT THERE HES RIGHT THERE HES RIGHT THERE" you die "I told you he was RIGHT THERE"
I am a very big sound player, and I would like to clarify something by playing on a DT770 pro 250ohm with an amp, or an old Hyper x cloud II player... The sound on R6 is never received, and for good reason .. It's an online game, what a surprise, so we almost forgot that when someone rolls back, they also make almost no sound.. magic? In short, it's not really the fault of the player who busts his ass learning about it every day, the sound on R6 is really bad, I can prove it with hundreds of clips per day.
But otherwise, this video for novices/amateurs provides very good advice, I also want to say that if the defense makes holes in the sound windows (sound breach windows) they must also be opened in attack, or precisely make holes via a buck. Create sound zones, take it from one room to another, it's more rewarding than the opposite.
Yea I agree, this Is great advice for new players or anyone who isn't familiar with sound cues. I've been playing the game long enough and know the sound cues by heart and I understand audio works differently bc it's a game and a unique one at that But a lot of the time the audio just does not get picked up or work properly even without any audio bugs (screw the nonstop shooting bug though), and tends to only work when you are spectating A lot of high level players and other youtubers (who are good and veterans) agree that r6 audio is wacky
i can use cheap headphones and hear sneaking but have tried more expensive brands and struggled in certain frequencies even after EQ adjustments, if it aint me its def the game and i will die on that hill especially since the game sound system is already odd, like why do i hear someone below me just because a hatch on 2nd floor is open 50 ft away from me
There are genuine issues with sounds a lot of the time, even players like jynxzi got caught by a bug where people can just blow a window open or drop from a ledge and make literally 0 sound for anybody around them, recently we also had doc being able to full sprint across corridors and make absolutely no sound either, theres a bug where everything sounds muffled, and one where some sounds outright dont play. On Oregon, theres a position next to kitchen where every sound from the nearby corridor and kitchen itself are non existent with when using drones. Blaming the game is also pretty valid in some cases, but not all of them.
The reason you can't hear sounds is because on PC it constantly glitches out, and operaters don't produce any audio. You play on console, and everybody makes audio 95% of the time. I've gotten shot in the back a fraction of the time on console then pc. It's so refreshing to play audio, and bait in 1v1s using sprint to trick the attackers.
One thing hi fi has is distance. It helps with hearing footsteps echo through halls, unlike night. Honestly both are great, just depends on the map. For house, night, but for coastline, hi fi Ayyyy my boy uses the hyper X too!! W headset
For a while I never knew what sound a defender makes when they are disabling the defuser because i always played secure area and my friends would get mad
Great video! I have a HyperX Cloud II and a Razer Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed and tried both surround sounds when you mentioned it and honestly the Razer's "thx spatial audio" is just better than the HyperX 7.1. I cant explain but i feel the difference. The mentioned spatial audio is a bit better for MY PREFERENCE than the stereo. The other thing that was not mentioned is the ping. I honestly think ping and desync issues (which exist in the game) can cause messed up audio or completely missing audio. I have died a few times to literally zero sound and when I clipped it and put it in Premiere Pro it also didnt show the sounds which means there werent any, its not too common but it happens and its also annoying.
Pro players play with ear buds because headsets are not allowed at the LAN tourneys. They're required to wear sound isolation cups over the ear buds. During online competitions they may wear their own headset but if you game to play at LAN, you play with the ear buds you plan to use.
1,400 hours on siege and never changed my audio settings, ME personally it all depends on if you have good hearing, and the type of headset you have, I would not play siege with a turtle beach headset from 2015...
What headset are you using? I currently have the PlayStation headphones that were 99 bucks. They are good for cod, but I struggle on seige with them. Thought it might be the settings since I tuned them for cod. But I have been messing with the 3D audio and everything can’t find anything good.
I switched to hifi and I've increased my round 1v1 win rate by like 70%, I just always know where they are if they arent a 3 speed, but even then a 3 speed still has loud noises like leaning and aiming down sight.
I loved this video. Can you please maybe consider making a video on when to hold, switch, and prioritize angles? There are many times where/when multiple people are pushing and I don’t know what to watch. That would be very helpful ❤
With some Points i Disagree. Sometimes (well a lot of times if we are honest) theres actually no Sound. Because the Game uses a Realistic Sound Engine which goes through punchholes etc. The sound is not really accurate most of the times. The Bigger the whole in the wall is, it becomes not so accurate. For an Example - Bank Lobby. This Lobby is so Big and it has an Echo in it which is Realistic because of how the Room is Builded and its not filled with Furnitures to damp the Sound and make it more Accurate so you can Locate where the Enemy is.
Doesnt really explain how an entire team can hear footsteps from south stairs of the map when the only enemy left alive is somewhere in the north east of the map. Good job ubisoft
the only sound problem I usually have is 4:24, same situation dead silence no one is shooting or anything only the dude behind me is literally running and I heard nothing
But there are many instances in r6 where sound doesnt get registered..how many times blitz or someone sprints full speed at me and sound doesnt register till they are at knifing distance.
okay.. stereo means audio coming in on both channels, mono is all audio split between both (all) channels. only useful if you have 1 speaker or a channel in your headphones is dead or if youre deaf in one ear i suppose aswell and like most people the issue is prolly just shit headphones, i thought my 300 dollar whatever corsair headphones would be goat with audio and i was deaf, turns out they were just really garbage headphones. atleast my 40 year old earbuds beat them out. sony mdr-e424 ftw
The sound (like everything else in siege) hardly ever works the way its supposed to. I recently had a moment where i was defending coastline, i heard an enemy clear as day pushing up blue stairs, so i kill him. 2 seconds later i get killed by another enemy pushing up blue stairs at full speed but for some reason the second enemy made zero noise when the first one did? Shit never makes sense.
@bradeygein389 sound got covered by your bullets on first guy. You have to stay focused and hear the second sound cue as you are shooting or you are hearing other sound cues
Its just a limitation of the sound environment that engineers can create in games. You have ears on either side of your head, so if engineers want to make something sound like its coming from the left or right, they just cause a slight delay in the source sound being sent to each ear, and your brain interprets this automatically as (for example, left ear hears first, its coming from the left) there no real tricks they can do like that to adjust for vertical audio. Sound panning, only helps horizontally, not vertically. Thats why, to try and compensate somewhat, games use different sound files for vertical audio. like boots on the floor above use a different sound file from boots on the floor below you. (and not just in siege) where this falls apart tends to be on stair cases, as not only as the same sound files used regardless of where someone is on a stair case, (uniform material usually) but they cannot delay or pan them to differentiate upper or lower sound sources, as well as the stair case being open and the sound can travel equally from above or below to your in game ears.
when i’m playing r6 (not very much anymore) i don’t struggle to hear the sounds i just can’t tell where they are coming from anymore, did sound used to not need a hole to go through or am i just bad now
They have it go through the quickest route (sometimes a hole isn't big enough either) instead of through a wall. Maybe because it'd be literal wall hacks if it was like mw where you can hear exactly where they're at through everything
For a game that relies so much on sound, the audio in this game is absolute dogshit a majority of the time. When I play battlefield I could tell you exactly where the enemies around me are at all times. Compare that to siege (my main game) and the difference is night and day.
In tarkov I can hear exactly where enemies are like to the centimeter, whereas in siege it gets confusing sometimes even if they are right next to me. I’ve played the game for years and tried every trick in the book 😭
They try to go a realistic route with sound only coming from the quickest route the audio can get to you from. So while the entire floor below you may be open and the enemy is running up the stairs next to you, you'll only hear audio coming from the hole in the floor and by the time the sound starts actually coming through from the stairs you're already getting swung
i can hear everything cllear when im watching other peoples screens on disc and when i watch videos but my sound is messed up idk why i checked myy settings nothing helps
When you are in game you are focused on other things as well like angles or enemy and there are also more sound cues at 1 time so you miss some of them
fk the sounds i cant see them people from far away especially if they are peeking only head or sum and im getting depressed idk if its my monitor and pc cuz im on low everything only LOD or whatever its named is medium and im on 60hz and im getting so mad when i have the aim but not the eyes or the pc specs to win
I don’t like this “stop the excuses” videos. First I haven’t seen a player use Mono. Second, most people use night mode because is more comfortable for the ears. Hi-fi is just too loud when people are shooting. I know now and assume sometimes where they at because of experience, but I’m not going to pretend this game has good omnidirectional sound.
@heysiri7767 hmmm did I use mono or you were just saying? Plus its more excuses than game being shitty. Most of the high level players are really good at distinguishing sound cues and the direction. Sound is not perfect but it's ok
@Gravoli your headset is the other way around?! No but seriously I don't know how someone can hear something to right and its on left. How good players dont have that issue like ever?
@@SINOOS-R6 nah bruh idk how its so messed up but low lobbies i guess you right that they complain about it but i have the senhiesser ie 200 and like most of the time its like so-so but sometimes its kinda fucked
@@SINOOS-R6 its a known bug. Lots of pros and content creators talking about it and how bad it is this season. its a known issue that the sound is reversed on occasion, from left to right or far away and near. If you insist that you havent experienced that even once, then that says more about your inability to understand sound cues than others. For example, if i can hear an ash breach opening park entrance on Kafe, when im standing in bakery, and turn around to look at bakery double door expecting it to be open cause the ash breach sounded like it went off almost between my ears as it was so loud, thats a game sound issue. Stop making excuses for the game being trash.
@Marcoboyle00 Omfg. I know the game is trash😂 I'm just saying there is high chance you blame the game when it was your fault for not hearing the sound cue. Also if it's a bug this season only i haven't experienced it yet but i doubt it since from the beginning people been saying this
@@dragz someone should already know the difference without having to read it from a 9 year old game settings description but I’m glad its there for the people that still play
this 100%. guy didnt even acknowledge the POSSIBILTY of the game audio being bugged, ever, despite litterally everyone knowing it to be true (including pros and siege content creators)
@djserafinno3046 True but most people complain because they are bad at distinguishing sound cues and where its coming from and say game sound is bad when they are just bad at the game. That's the whole point of video and what I'm saying
0:29 the debate is completely childish and you just spread misinformation. There is no actual difference and no, night mode doesnt make footsteps louder (it just makes it harder to judge target distance). The only significant change is that the tinnitus effect is slightly shorter in night mode, but overall Hi-Fi is better because you hear uncompressed sound.
@@SINOOS-R6 lmao im not wrong. Not only you did literally 0 research, but it was experimentally proven by a real audio engineer. Surprise, surprise, night mode just compressed the dynamic range, it doesnt do anything beyond that
@AmelpsXett ok mr expert. At the end of the day night mode makes footsteps louder why? Cuz reinforcement sounds are lower. Easy pz. No need to make it complicated or do a research. Research is for reddit users. Hifi is everything loud and why would you want reinforcement sound loud?! Back to same thing Nightmode>hifi
@@SINOOS-R6 "night mode makes footsteps louder why?" it factually doesnt, its a placebo. "Cuz reinforcement sounds are lower." ???????????? how does it play into actual gameplay past the prep phase? And again, both are "quieter" (still the same db output), not only one. Its literally a logical fallacy lmao "Research is for reddit users." i dont even know what to say or what to compare this sentence to to show how dumb it is. I think its just self evident. Didnt expect much from an Ash player whose full extent is dunking on equally clueless kids, but for 3k+ hours "Hifi is everything loud" no its not lol. Again, its a placebo or poorly chosen sound level. Also forgot to say that Night mode is actually gimping you since you cant differentiate some sounds behind ambience as easily or at all, like airjabs Also if you still want sound compression then TV mode is the best, since its the middleground. Have you ever tried it?
Nah, sound in this game is broken and dumb, just like ''peeking'' mechanics, bullet holes, random prefires, random headshots. Don't worry about improving in this tier 5 esport game. Play Valo or CS instead.
This doesn't explain the Gridlock shifting the tectonic plates sprinting at me and there being absolutely no sound
Have you tried putting a bell on her?
ikr, i got flanked from a door way while holding an angle for the team and was purposely being a sound whore on an empty side of the map
For me both hifi and night mode have different advantages and disadvantages. For hi fi it helps me realize where on the map gunfire is coming from so i can kinda pinpoint where the enemy is at rather above or below, it also helps with fuse charges and explosions. Night mode helps me with enemy footsteps and those low sounds. Almost everytime in nightmode throughout gunfire and etc you can still hear someone coming up steps or creeks and little noises that gives you a heads up.

thats why cod kids who constantly move around and spam the RMB button are so easy to kill
I struggle most w identifying if they’re infront of me or to the side, rarely there are times where I can’t tell if they’re ahead or to my side
thats the main argument for hifi, with hifi u can distinguish audio more directionally due to less compression
turn 90 degrees and keep listening for a few seconds
Thats not practical in 90% of scenarios lol@@dirtbikeguy7969
soundstage issue, better headphones with emphasis on good soundstage would fix this. had the same issue with my corsair headphones
basically, any gaming headphones youre gonna have that issue, thats why most people have independent headphones and a mic
Unpopular opinion but Hi-Fi is better because sounds are less compressed and you can understand the range of where the sound is coming from

my biggest complaint about the sound in siege was the fact that directional sound was atrocious on my cloud II.... turning off the 7.1 switch made such a big difference
Im trying this it was my problem too i was using dolby atmos for surround sound
Dont use 7.1 for games it brakes the sound in most of them.

trying to listen to sound cues but all you hear is the 14yo on your team screaming "HES RIGHT THERE HES RIGHT THERE HES RIGHT THERE HES RIGHT THERE"
you die
"I told you he was RIGHT THERE"
Just mute and lock in its that simple when my stack is just yelling i just mute and get lotta kills by just muting, u need to have good gamesense tho
I am a very big sound player, and I would like to clarify something by playing on a DT770 pro 250ohm with an amp, or an old Hyper x cloud II player... The sound on R6 is never received, and for good reason .. It's an online game, what a surprise, so we almost forgot that when someone rolls back, they also make almost no sound.. magic?

I have to disagree, Siege sound is one of the most consistent sound systems I have experienced.
There are genuine issues with sounds a lot of the time, even players like jynxzi got caught by a bug where people can just blow a window open or drop from a ledge and make literally 0 sound for anybody around them, recently we also had doc being able to full sprint across corridors and make absolutely no sound either, theres a bug where everything sounds muffled, and one where some sounds outright dont play.
On Oregon, theres a position next to kitchen where every sound from the nearby corridor and kitchen itself are non existent with when using drones.
Blaming the game is also pretty valid in some cases, but not all of them.
reason number 8: the sound in the game is buggy AF, sometimes something explodes beside you and you just dont hear it
The reason you can't hear sounds is because on PC it constantly glitches out, and operaters don't produce any audio.

In tarkov I can hear exactly where enemies are like to the centimeter, whereas in siege it gets confusing sometimes even if they are right next to me. I’ve played the game for years and tried every trick in the book 😭
i had 7.1 1200h on this game no way its better without now i trust no settings
r6 directional sound sucks...period
They try to go a realistic route with sound only coming from the quickest route the audio can get to you from. So while the entire floor below you may be open and the enemy is running up the stairs next to you, you'll only hear audio coming from the hole in the floor and by the time the sound starts actually coming through from the stairs you're already getting swung
@@williewilson2250 yeah, but not realistic though cuz i can hear sounds simultaneously IRL lol
@@GgG-71494 that's why, they can't just make the closest route louder than the other
i can hear everything cllear when im watching other peoples screens on disc and when i watch videos but my sound is messed up idk why i checked myy settings nothing helps
When you are in game you are focused on other things as well like angles or enemy and there are also more sound cues at 1 time so you miss some of them
@@SINOOS-R6 ive been playing siege for years and ever since i switched to pc its been like this
Sound is terrible in the game, footsteps are not distinguishable
They are
I use a samsung phone headset n its perfect for sound all different sound ques
i prefer my Samsung AKG than my Hyper X Cloud
fk the sounds i cant see them people from far away
especially if they are peeking only head or sum and im getting depressed idk if its my monitor and pc cuz im on low everything only LOD or whatever its named is medium and im on 60hz and im getting so mad when i have the aim but not the eyes or the pc specs to win
i never know where its from though
Why is your sound so crispy though? Every since like 4 seasons ago my audio became shit. I was such a sound whore before and now I camt jear shit
No idea man. For me it has been like this for ages
Does coloud 3 have 7.1
No idea
🐐
Because the game's sound is shit, was shit and will be shit. Answered.
Wrong
In pc sounds are suck but on xbox or ps4 5
Its much better
I don’t like this “stop the excuses” videos.
First I haven’t seen a player use Mono.
Second, most people use night mode because is more comfortable for the ears. Hi-fi is just too loud when people are shooting.
I know now and assume sometimes where they at because of experience, but I’m not going to pretend this game has good omnidirectional sound.
@heysiri7767 hmmm did I use mono or you were just saying? Plus its more excuses than game being shitty. Most of the high level players are really good at distinguishing sound cues and the direction. Sound is not perfect but it's ok
bro how is this a skill issue i hear shit to my right and they on my left
@Gravoli your headset is the other way around?! No but seriously I don't know how someone can hear something to right and its on left. How good players dont have that issue like ever?
@@SINOOS-R6 nah bruh idk how its so messed up but low lobbies i guess you right that they complain about it but i have the senhiesser ie 200 and like most of the time its like so-so but sometimes its kinda fucked
@@SINOOS-R6 its a known bug. Lots of pros and content creators talking about it and how bad it is this season. its a known issue that the sound is reversed on occasion, from left to right or far away and near. If you insist that you havent experienced that even once, then that says more about your inability to understand sound cues than others.
For example, if i can hear an ash breach opening park entrance on Kafe, when im standing in bakery, and turn around to look at bakery double door expecting it to be open cause the ash breach sounded like it went off almost between my ears as it was so loud, thats a game sound issue. Stop making excuses for the game being trash.
@Marcoboyle00 Omfg. I know the game is trash😂 I'm just saying there is high chance you blame the game when it was your fault for not hearing the sound cue. Also if it's a bug this season only i haven't experienced it yet but i doubt it since from the beginning people been saying this
Check and see if you have mono audio on if so turn it off
The game sucks w footstep audio it's the most inconsistent thing in existence
Someone who cant explain mono should not be giving audio advice at all.
I explained the feeling not the setting itself. Please explain it if you know so others can learn 😂
@@hospitalheel i mean anyone can read the stereo/mono desc chill out dude
@@dragz someone should already know the difference without having to read it from a 9 year old game settings description but I’m glad its there for the people that still play
@@dragz readint the description? It must be common knowledge bruh, lock in fr
this 100%. guy didnt even acknowledge the POSSIBILTY of the game audio being bugged, ever, despite litterally everyone knowing it to be true (including pros and siege content creators)
Bro just hear aint that hard
@@kastorious for real
Think you’re forgetting that it’s been proven multiple times the sounds are just ass and buggy no settings will fix it there’s no excuses 🤣🤣
Yet there are so many goated sound players that can hear everything and don't complain 😂
@@SINOOS-R6 being used to it and not complaining doesn’t equal good sound
@djserafinno3046 True but most people complain because they are bad at distinguishing sound cues and where its coming from and say game sound is bad when they are just bad at the game. That's the whole point of video and what I'm saying
Why? Didn't have time to watch video.
I reply back so you have time to watch it
0:29 the debate is completely childish and you just spread misinformation. There is no actual difference and no, night mode doesnt make footsteps louder (it just makes it harder to judge target distance). The only significant change is that the tinnitus effect is slightly shorter in night mode, but overall Hi-Fi is better because you hear uncompressed sound.
You are wrong
@@SINOOS-R6 lmao im not wrong. Not only you did literally 0 research, but it was experimentally proven by a real audio engineer.
Surprise, surprise, night mode just compressed the dynamic range, it doesnt do anything beyond that
@AmelpsXett ok mr expert. At the end of the day night mode makes footsteps louder why? Cuz reinforcement sounds are lower. Easy pz. No need to make it complicated or do a research. Research is for reddit users. Hifi is everything loud and why would you want reinforcement sound loud?!
Back to same thing
Nightmode>hifi
@@SINOOS-R6 "night mode makes footsteps louder why?" it factually doesnt, its a placebo.
"Cuz reinforcement sounds are lower." ???????????? how does it play into actual gameplay past the prep phase? And again, both are "quieter" (still the same db output), not only one. Its literally a logical fallacy lmao
"Research is for reddit users." i dont even know what to say or what to compare this sentence to to show how dumb it is. I think its just self evident. Didnt expect much from an Ash player whose full extent is dunking on equally clueless kids, but for 3k+ hours
"Hifi is everything loud" no its not lol. Again, its a placebo or poorly chosen sound level.
Also forgot to say that Night mode is actually gimping you since you cant differentiate some sounds behind ambience as easily or at all, like airjabs
Also if you still want sound compression then TV mode is the best, since its the middleground. Have you ever tried it?
@@SINOOS-R6@AmelpsXett is right you know
Ok cool but um i am 80% deaf so imma click off
u think u so good
@@A6DEN?
@SINOOS-R6 right like bro saying that for no reason 😂😂😂
Nah, sound in this game is broken and dumb, just like ''peeking'' mechanics, bullet holes, random prefires, random headshots. Don't worry about improving in this tier 5 esport game. Play Valo or CS instead.
