Hearing enemies is impossible

It's impossible for me to hear any enemies. Even if I'm standing 100 meters away from all the action and an enemy runs up behind me I still can't hear them. This issue isn't as bad with vehicles, but tanks for example are also often way too quiet unless they are directly on me. This issue somehow resolves itself when I'm dead and I can hear everything perfectly fine, but while I'm alive I can't hear enemy footsteps at all.

A few days ago I asked about this on reddit and was told that nobody else has this problem. Since then I've reinstalled the game, deleting all the files in the process and redoing all the settings, etc. This obviously did not resolve the sound issue. Now I don't know if this is actually a bug or just some messed up setting, but since resetting the settings didn't resolve it idk what else to do. If nobody else is having the same issue it also can't just be that the game still has awful footstep audio.

  • @call_me_ShockZz try the different audio settings ingame, use stereo and try for example the logitech preset.
    the best so far for me was war tape but sadly it has some background noise which was awful after a while

    @direct3r I'll give that one a try then, but I've already gone through most of the other options to no avail. Thanks anyway

    For me, it's pretty hit or miss. Sometimes I hear footsteps all around me and then suddenly someone runs up from behind and I'm dead with zero sound...

    I've tried all sound settings
