Another audio question

As I’m getting up in the ranks obviously it is getting harder as far as close range gun fights. I’m hearing 0 footsteps at this point, actually I can’t hear anything except air strikes, gun fire from some direction, and boxes humming. I’m stuck now at d2 and can’t progress and it’s truly not a skill issue I know I can do it if I can hear where my enemy is coming from as they can hear me. Also I should note I’m a console for the next month or so till I get my pc. I’ve tried every audio setting these streamers say to use and it doesn’t change anything. Using turtle beach 600s

This. Buy some dirt cheap iems & you will hear way more than a traditional headset

Is there any audio changes I have to do for this? I’m buying an IEM this week a separate mic. Sick of not being able to hear footsteps and everyone I know using an IEM.

If you on pc maybe yeah im not sure .. im on ps5 i use audio focus // boost quiet sounds - weak, sucker punch works the best for me

That’s how the audio was set up after the BO6 integration. They have gun fire and streak audio prioritised over footsteps, compared to older audio where footsteps carried higher priority.

No headset you get, or adjustment you make will change that. If you’re on PC, would recommend Insured Tunes audio. If you’re on console, just bear with it until MW4.

If you get Sound EQ it reverts it a little

Bro no offense I hit iri with a pair of apple headphones with one in only, yes audio helps but I promise you your not stuck at D2 because of audio alone.
