Re: Improve in game sounds - how to

@gg123xyz thank you, that gives players another option to try.

If you could please come back when you have tried your settings in sonar vs the default apex settings to let us know how it went or if you make further adjustments, I'll put them in the first post as an option.

As for myself I'm almost deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, with tri tonal tinnitus that is exacerbated by loud noise, so volume is an issue. So no headphones for me, just TV speakers from the xbox. Also as an example if more that one person is talking in a room the sounds get muddied. Basically what I'm trying to say is I can't really carry out sound tests 😃

But the dts settings on the xbox really improved things for me, it seems to have spread out the sounds in the stereo field, for want of a better explanation. 

i think any setting thats pre made is good just increase the treble and voice to 12 and the gain to max and your set. in the sonar sound.

i tested my settings above in apex legends and with voice at 0 its useless. but voice at 12 and its ok, so the same for the other sound settings too like the pre made apex legends sound.

@gg123xyz thank you. So I'll do out the below and put it in the first post, if you agree. 

Would you add "just crank up the volume in your speakers/headphones too." to these settings?

i made this version for the sonar software:

mixer

50%
-17.1dB

Game

gain = -12.0 dB
freq = 20.0Hz
Q = 0.707

gain = -12.0dB
freq = 101.8Hz
Q = 0.707

gain = -2.8dB
freq = 471.9Hz
Q = 0.707

gain = 2.5dB
freq = 1.96kHz
Q = 0.707

gain = 12.0dB
freq = 9.88kHz
Q = 0.707

bass = 0.0
voice = 12.0dB
treble = 12.0dB

gain = 12.0dB

I think any setting thats pre made in sonar is good,

just increase the treble and voice to 12 and the gain to max.

And your are set in the sonar sound.

i don't mind but these are more for valorant to be honest. that and i tried to match the sonar to the vlc equalizer and its not a 1 to 1 match more of a guessing game and trial and error listening but it works to hear better that much it does so i guess its ok to add it to the first post. ty.

@gg123xyz thank you for your ideas. Any setting improvements you find work for you pl let us know 😃

@pandareno1999 added your bit to first post, sorry for late addition. 🥳

Its made a huge difference to the Apex sound on my TV speakers from the xbox 1S, thank you. 

i played around with the settings some more and now its a bit better sounding. in apex legends. 

mixer

gain = -10dB

see the way the bumps go up to the right and are equal bumps this is what i tried to make it look like.

i think its better than my other settings you put in the first post. try it out.

I love how there is a seven page thread about all these tricks to improve the sound and make the game playable, because EA won't just fix them by default.

footstep length its audible is 7 foot from the player maybe more or less idk but about 7 foot.

its only really audible 4 foot or less from the player.

valorant you can be 50 foot from them and hear their footsteps.

the gear is 2x or 3x as loud as the footsteps in apex legends. you can hear that 20 foot or so away.

@Kyldenar you don't have to read more that the first post 😛

@gg123xyz I'll get YT to rest out your settings and if they are gtg I'll put them in the first post. Thanks
