Improve in game sounds - how to

i went a found a test video and played with the equalizer in the vlc program, here is the video clip i tested with, the second test when the lady runs to the right is easier to hear the difference with:

then i didnt hear what i thought i would hear, so i played with the equalizer and found if i split the equalizer into two halves, i take the right half and make is a angled line from the middle upwards with the outside of the right equalizer side being the high point on the line. i could hear a difference like i thought.

here is a picture of my equalizer settings so you can try for yourself, i also put on my speaker volume loud so the footsteps without the equalizer are audible.

the idea behind why it works is i said the sound would be equal sized waves if the sliders of the equalizer were in the same spot.

but the sliders each have different number values.

so having the far right slider be the same sliding spot doesn't balance out the numbers to make a equivalent sized sound wave of the larger far left equalizer slider.

so i tried to make them equivalent sized sound waves by making the angle you see in the picture and it works pretty good.

i was going to make a video showing you but i decided not too. this is good enough.
