I am using external SoundBlasterx G6 and turned on its Scout Mode which makes me hear everything clearly such as enemy foot steps, changing clips, vehicles coming etc. In game I use the War Tapes.
There are some people that do mention that they hear footsteps quite loudly. One thing they seem to have in common is that they often use third party applications to modify the sound output.
Scout mode is specifically designed to modify sound in a way that amplifies footsteps and other sounds that could give you a competitive advantage.

That shouldn't be necessary though. If this game had proper sound design, even regular stereo sound would be more than plenty to accurately perceive sounds in a 3D space.
