QOTD: i use speakers taped to my head. works really well. i was playing on bind and i hear enemies all the way from split

[GrungeIsNtDead]

when i turned on windows sonic for headphones it lowered the volume drastically

QOTD: I personally use the Razer Kraken Ultralight Black/Blue edition, fits my setup theme well and works great with the settings in this video.

Just saying I was watching this on my phone and I could hear the footsteps coming from different directions

[joeaoun]

you said hrtf and spatial sounds shouldn't be used together, so which one is better? Since i can use boht.

[Tbiriy]

"Here's what HRTF sounds like" - continues to play the background music with the same volume as the clip...

[soggyflipp]

2:08 and 6:50
Next time, please turn down the music volume when you are demonstrating the in-game sound

[HJGamingIcy]

I have always struggled with audio and footsteps in any game, I really need this 😂

Windows sonic part is nonsense, as often these videos have 0 knowledge about anything semi-in depth. Windows Sonic will only work when you are playing sound from games, movies, or applications that have been designed to render to 7.1 channel formats. Valorant gives the mono or stereo options which in turn means this audio is not 7.1 and that is why the game has HRTF built in to actually do something with the transmitted audio. As a general rule it's better to have Windows Sonic turned off for any sort of application or game unless it specifically has a 7.1 surround option.
Regards good headphones you should check if the headphones have a max range of 44100 Hz as this is what the human ear can perceive as a maximum (Headphones with huge amounts above this usually just have it as a gimmick which adds absolutely nothing to your sound quality). Yes there are quality differences in headphones as in build quality and such.. but stick with the 44100 Hz frequency response and you will be golden. As an example, Razer Krakens have a maximum frequency response of 28000 Hz which is why they sound so horrible and are way overpriced for what they deliver. I guess they have cute cat ears or something..
For anyone that actually read through this I hope it helps, oh yeah and there is no point to set your audio above 16-bit even for games as it adds no perceivable difference on our end. Higher bit-rates are used on music production levels and have their use but not for us consumers.

In my opinion Valorant has a bad HRTF implementation as it lowers the output of sounds too much to make the positional awareness viable. Especially during team comms and all sorts of things and sounds happening in the game it might benefit you a lot more to just have HRTF turned off. On top of it think about how linear Valorant maps are, they are basically all corridors with minimal elevation. Having a good stereo sound set up is king in my opinion, without any gimmicks or post processing added to it.

Is there a way to reduce the gun sounds using an audio compressing app without reducing the sound of the footsteps? The guns are too loud when someone shoots me from behind. My ears can’t handle it. Please help

[greatnessinc]

I’m using the Logitech G pro (wired). I didn’t know about HRTF, thanks!

[CosmosXipe]

I use this thing called a oticon soundclip. It connects my hearing aids directly to my pc so the sound is pumped directly into my ears. It has surround sound abilities however i cant seem to germt stereo audio working in valorant

[Eren_Bushi]

Qotd-Hrtf on, hyperx cloud orbit s with 3d surround on. It really allows me to pinpoint locations, especially with the issue of in front of behind that a lot of people have

[aadipai]

What an absolute waste of time of a video. Speak more to the point!

[UsernameXOXO]

When you upload to youtube you only get 2 channels, no HRTF.

[CASH_]

I get scared of the operator shots always, what should be my master volume could it be at 50%? and what about my main volume on my pc on what percent should it be? thank you

[battleaxel]

I am using the steelseries arctis 7 which I think work really well.

[bicentricbrute]

QOTD: Im usin some old Beats audio headphones, but I got some Logitech G Pro X's they are coming in Thursday

[Noflexing]

Using a headset is just fucking ridiculous. You might as well add that you need a pc, a mouse and keyboard as well. You can't play valorant without it.
