Many players in the CS: GO think that the main skill in this game is the ability to shoot well and accurately. But in fact, winning a round depends not only on this factor. In order to regularly defeat the opponents, you still need to be able to clearly see and adequately assess the situation. Moreover, one must be able to see not only with eyes, but also with ears. Yes, with ears! After all, sound additions in the CS: GO allow the player to get a lot of information about what is happening on the battlefield.
The clatter of boots of teammates or opponents, the sound of reloading weapons, laying bombs or taking hostages, shooting on one or another flank - all this and much more can be heard in the game, to understand what is happening at a given time on the map, and make the right decision. True, many gamers are not even aware of such possibilities and instead of game sounds they include extraneous music and play for their pleasure. But for an effective game, this approach is not completely suitable. In this article, you will learn how to adjust the sound in CS: GO.
System
Before going into the in-game settings, you need to make sure that all the sound parameters of the system are aligned correctly. Sound settings in the CS: GO requires that the game be as loud as possible in the general system mixer (speaker icon in the lower right corner of the Start line), and other applications should not interrupt it. Each player regulates this independently.
You also need to go into the section of devices that reproduce sound, and make additional settings with them. You need to go into the properties of the gadget, which is the main one during playback, and get into the improvements section, where it is recommended to activate loudness and room adjustment - you can find them in the highlighted column by lowering the slider down.
Also, when adjusting the sound in the CS: GO, you can not do without surround sound. To configure it, you will need to go into the driver application (most often it is Realtek HD) and configure the 7.1 sound structure there. Even if you play with headphones, it will still help simulate 3D surround sound. Thanks to him, you can understand where the enemy is running from and where he is standing now, for example.
The game
In the sound settings section in the CS: GO, the first thing recommended is to completely turn off any music inside the game: at the start of the round, and at its completion, and when the bomb is planted - in any conditions. You can leave the music when you get into the game menu. This does not play any role. But the rest of the sounds must be definitely turned off so that they do not interfere with playing effectively. By disabling them, you will not lose any gameplay benefits.
In match sound settings, it is recommended to turn off any sound in Steam Overlay and set the overall volume level to maximum. Will such a sound setting in the COP: GO hear steps? Of course! Moreover, it’s quite difficult to play effectively if you don’t hear the opponent’s steps and teammates.
Total
Now you know how to adjust the sound of steps in the CS: GO, as well as other parameters responsible for the effective gamer playing during any match. As it turned out, to do this is not at all difficult, and everyone can do it; moreover, it does not take much time.
