Call of Duty: Warzone 2 was released in November of 2022, and since then, the game has received multiple major updates that have changed it tremendously. There are a lot of settings in the game that tweak various minor details, and all players have different preferences. However, the audio in the battle royale can be improved significantly by inputting the correct settings.
Since the launch of the title, many players have complained about the poor in-game footstep audio, which makes it very difficult for them to keep track of the enemies. This issue is further heightened due to the excessive amount of loud announcements that are being made during the battle. Most of these auditory noises can be fixed to a certain extent by tweaking some of the audio settings in the game.

What are the best audio settings in Warzone 2?
Players should remember that by changing the audio settings in the battle royale, Modern Warfare 2 is also affected, as both games share the same settings menu. Nonetheless, chances are that the tweaked settings will also improve audio in the multiplayer game modes.
The following are the best Warzone 2 audio settings that can be slightly tweaked as per your preference:
Volumes:
- Audio Mix: Headphones Bass Boost
- Master Volume: 65
- Music Volume: 0
- Dialogue Volume: 30
- Effects Volume: 75
- Hit Marker Volume: 50

Audio Advanced Settings:

- Hit Marker Sound Effects: Classic
- Mute Game When Minimized: On
- Reduce Tinnitus Sound: On
Headphones Bass Boost is the best mix for hearing footsteps in Warzone 2 as it increases the low frequencies, something which footsteps fall under. This will help you notice footsteps precisely, no matter which audio system you use.
Next, Master Volume is subjective. That said, Music Volume is best turned off as it can be distracting and unnecessary while in the middle of firefights. Dialog Volume is also best decreased, as it is not the most important aspect of the game.
Although Subtitles are not an audio setting, it is best turned off for multiplayer game modes as they can sometimes cover vital parts of the screen. Proximity Voice Chat is best turned on as players can use enemies' chat as intel for their location if footsteps are not heard.
Classic Hit Marker Sound Effect in Warzone 2 is the least interfering, but again, this is a subjective setting. Lastly, the Reduce Tinnitus setting should be left on as it helps reduce the high-pitched sounds after being hit by Stun Grenades and Flashbangs.
Warzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded is currently live on all platforms, including PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
