Been running this for a few days now and the difference is night and day. Im still getting used to being able to tell whete enemies are coming from and just how close they are. This makes footsteps so loud im screaming "ON ME ON ME" when the dude is in the next building over 😂 Keep up the good work dude.
Does it make your audio other than footsteps sound terrible? Because yeah I can hear some footsteps but my homie on xbox can also without the other audio in the game sounding this bad or is that just me?
noticed this only works well in unranked, there is something weird in ranked with the audio where this sounds like shit. also noticed something weird when testing on unranked wz, for some reason gameplay feels way smoother with the same fps i get on ranked. ranked feels choppy and looks like shit. thinking its just time to uninstall this god awful game.
THANK YOU. I´m new on PC since a few months and there is just so much to do and to learn. With this Tutorial you made my life much easier and I´m happy my friend recommended you. All the best.
@@thefalconrychef6660 Assuming you're on PC, almost anytime one of my friends has this issue it's generally a discord setting. You can also right click the speaker and open volume mixer. That will show you every input and output for anything playing audio. I use a GoXlr and have had that happen a handful of times when my audio devices get mixed around.
@@DCANTIN56 cheers buddy il give it a try..iv actually just raged as I’m impatient when things go wrong…uninstalled everything back to basic and the mic ain’t working at all now lol
This is truly the absolute BEST tutorial I have ever watched. Ive watched hundreds of guides like this, this blows every single one of them out of the water. WELL WELL DONE!!
What a guide, easy to follow. The sound difference is incredible. I think I’ll try a higher front speaker setting. Maybe 10 or 15. You can hear footsteps clear as day. And parachutes. A++ good sir.
Just did this and it is incredible. I’m a steel series sonar user and I found that you are still able to use sonar for everything else (discord, youtube, Spotify, etc) as well as the mic with no issues! So glad I heard about this
didn't work for me, got to part where you past the config files into c drive folder and then go into config editor and are supposed to open panel but i cant because it says "file not found" under the vst plugin thing
This is absolutely insane...followed ur instructions to the T and it is unbelievable....to the point its overwhelming hearing all these footsteps lol takes getting used to
i didn't understand 75% of what you were talking about but somehow still managed to get this shit done cause of the crystal clear instructions. can't thank you enough man
I did everything as described in the video, didn’t miss a single step and everything worked out without any problems. Now I hear boxes as if they were in my room, airplanes and all the notifications I hear as if a war is starting in my room, air conditioners, fans, I hear everything so clearly that there is nothing to say, there is only one catch, I hear everything, except for steps, parachutes and everything for which this sound adjustment was done :D 10 steps out of 10
I have the same sounds now that I did this as well. Its not the tune fault but the game audio and where these other sounds are on the same EQ channel as Footsteps. To osset this I use Flex perk to calm it down and up the footsteps. Not ideal when you dont have the perk and im not a audio guy and that could affect other things. But the problem is that all the other sounds that we had before this tune was still gonna muffle the footsteps anyways. They made the audio in this game to help the fact that the audio track is horrible in this game as it has always been. And you can see that they know this by the fact that even the DEVS are saying they are working on audio problems like the parachutes having no audio on landing or close range to us, and that the boxes in general are loud as they are. Hopefully DEVS get this fixed in the new season so that this tune is even better then it is now. Even with all that I feel more confident going into a match on MKB knowing that I have a better audio Q then stock to get a advanced notice on incoming threats. Just my 2 cents. Art is War is helping the community the best he can without selling wall hacks and aimbots like the other scummy people of the world, and the ones that use them. Hey DEVS, lets get some aim assist on MKB, or do Fortnite visual audio queues and I will never go back to FN ;) this is arcade game not a simulator....
Yeah. As always your videos are absolutely astonishing. The tweaks you're bringing to the warzone community is absolutely unhinged. This is by far the best one you've put out there. This tweak is just an absolute power house of an advantage that makes your game run to it's best potential. Very well explained, it is clear you know what you're doing. Thank you Art! ❤
for about a year ive been using ur tune , few days ago i Change my windows and than play warzone without ur tune , than i understand how greaaat and good ur audio settings was !! thanks u alot GENIUS !!!!
I'm literally blown away. Played my first game, and although it sounds weird( only because I'm used to how loud warzone usually is with all the explosions) it actually allows me to hear footsteps and enemies. It's incredible. First game got 12 kills purely because I knew where people were Thanks so much Art you're the best!!!
@@R3DST1CK Mostly same but i agree to you man. Its make my weapon sound compressed but at the same time while it compressing it almost all sounds get compressed. Crate sounds are tooo loud i try many stuff to do but nah. This tuning is help if around is quite and need flex perk for shut crate sounds. Without that i was excited too but its far from all around usage.
JGOD just takes meta stats from WZStats and Codmunity and puts it in video format. Art is more like TrueGameData who actually does real testing from scratch. Well done Art!
This is really OP as you said. Awesome video. Thank you so much. Also, one of the best guided videos I have ever seen. You have taken care of all the problems a user may face, and I really didn't have to look elsewhere to solve the speedbumps that occurred in the process. You are amazing. God bless!
I'll echo what everyone else said because it cant be said enough - thank you for taking the time to do this - it has helped so much...now I have one less excuse as to why I'm absolutely terrible at this video game..haha
I loved how simple you made this breaking everything down and making it real cut and dry. Great pacing, I thought it was perfect for me, and it really was super easy to follow.
just followed ur instructions ad its all up and running,so just wanted to say thank you and i appreciate the time and effort this must of taken you cheers brother.
Just did this step by step, it’s fantastic. Caveat is the sound of boxes before you open them like everyone says yes, but it doesn’t matter much. I love the lowered shooting volume as well. Going to keep this, this is a game changer. Thank you!
Super great tutorial, only issue that I and many other users seem to have is the loot boxes being ridiculously loud. Footsteps are also super loud too don’t get me wrong but if there is any loot box even remotely close to me it’s super loud and overpowers everything else.
@@bigboymoussa3212 so after testing a bit of settings I noticed that removing the subwoofer from the 7.1 settings lowers how aggressive the noises are like loot boxes and stuff and makes it easier to pinpoint the footsteps a bit. Just go to the sound control panel and find the virtual hi-fi cable that you renamed to Art Tune and configure it. Click the configure button and keep it at 7.1 but when u press next disable the sub woofer and keep everything else the same as before. See if that helps.
I followed this guide step by step 5 times and when I get to the part of the video where you have to select LFX/GFX I only have the install apo pre mix and post mix available. The use original options are grayed out.
Me too, the bad part is this is probably something important as I cannot hear people pushing me but I can hear people nearby in other buildings. Otherwise for me it has to do with front audio in HeSuVi
I have tried working on fixing sounds in the past and was so completely lost. Thank you for making this so incredibly easy to follow! Very appreciative of all your hard work and time put into doing things like this for the community!
literally follow every single step as he goes through it, step by step, like he says, dont skip anything, dont jump ahead, etc.. shouldn't have an issue@@michaelgraef9008
I have a problem that prevents me from following the tutorial and I have already turned off the sound with Windows PowerShell, how can I reactivate the sound on my computer?
Thank you dude! I had terrible audio on my brand new gaming PC and this has fixed almost everything. My only gripe is that loot boxes are loud as hell now but I can hear footsteps so who cares.
After testing for a day, I can safely say this is the best WZ audio has ever sounded for me!!! It's actually made me mega excited to play the game now for the first time since Verdansk!! Thank you so much for all your hard work Art you are the goat for this!!!! 💙
This is amazing and super simple to follow as you address every possible roadbump. One thing for those of you trying to figure out where to put your front on hesuvi, 7 seemed a bit weird as there is like no other audio and for whatever reason sometimes enemy footsteps would drown out as well, 20 seems to work the best for me. It does show you how horrendous the games base audio is when there is literally zero other sound and somebody can still sprint at you with barely any audio cue. You need to just go handle activisions audio for them lol, that is if they didnt make the audio bad on purpose to lower the skill gap further which im assuming is the case...
@stamatisgiannikos2993 Art talked about this in the video. There is nothing you can do about the chests/airstrikes. The ONLY adjustment you can make that will slightly help; is to turn your volume on your headset down. So COD master volume to 100 and then on your headset turn it down till the chests are less annoying. I have a corsair headset and for me, it was around 30-50 volume. Takes some getting used too but chests are less loud and foot steps are still clear as day
@@DEKER_FPS The Corsair Virtuoso XT Wireless are the ones I have. For warzone, the tune makes a huge difference! Like I said though the chest and airstrikes are extremely loud and the only way to counter that is to turn your headset volume down. At the moment there is no other way to alleviate those sounds other than dropping you volume
I've been using this for around a month and omg its a NIGHT AND DAY difference. I'm winning wayyy more and getting wayy more kills because i can ACTUALLY HEAR FOOTSTEPS
So I have a problem related to 13:50. I did everything right, but on Window PowerShell I did all the steps but the moment I type “Hi-Fi Cable Input” and press Enter, It just stays there. I know that Art just said that we should be patient but I literally just left it overnight and nothing happened, it didn’t activate. What do I do now?
Followed it thru and watched some parts multiple times when it was to fast and it worked very well im absolutely amazed how quiet gunshots are you can literally hear someone pushing you while shooting someone else this is an actual guide to real good Audio (as good as it gets for warzone) thank you for sharing you did an amazing job explaining :D yeah chests are a little louder but i guess it can't be perfect ( also for people that dont like it ) just do a restore point in windows so you can undo it as if it never happened (if you dont like it or mess something up)
Hit the Windows key and type create and you'll see an option to Create a Restore Point, which is a control panel. Make sure protection is on for your System drive{typically C:} and then click the Create button, give it a name, and you're done.@@endlichviel
@AusEasterling it was on the follow up video from 2 months ago I believe in the comment section, I have tried it but sounds a little washed out for me so still tinkering
I don’t have a ton of experience modifying files or computer knowledge outside of basic business applications but this seems to be hands down best guide for something technical I have ever seen. Not just for cod, but for any tutorial ever. Legitimately awesome work. You deserve every bit of followers or attention you receive from this. Thanks so much - I have followed and will be checking out your other content now. Seriously incredible work. Thanks man! PS - do you have a background in tech? This was seriously impressive. Cheers!!
after using for a few days...feedback... 1) sound localization is very good AND took time to get used to the sound changes (someone sliding sounds like they are right next to me teammate or not and others) 2) I increased the Front and LFE to 10 and 10 to feel like I was actually participating in a game. Original minimal settings were too muted and numb feeling to me 3) not very stable. Required me to restart audio engines in Hesuvi and Voicemeeter several time during WZ matches 4) Now I have an unfixable (likely due to the fact I don't understand enough about it) digital reverb/artifact that is not fixed with audio engine restarts (like before) or full restart of PC conclusion: turned off. The audio engine restarts were kinda manageable though timing sucks several times, but tolerable for the benefits. The permanent error (#4) is a non-starter
Really appreciate this, I agee with stability, mine was doing wonders 3 days then one day says error from drive, I googled and it turns out voicemeeter is a nightmare for many people in different areas so is really unfortunate cause I really love the mix it feels great to hear that clear the footsteps.
@@RyanRigney-je4yg If this was stable I would continue to use it and adjust to my liking...but restarting audio engines 1-3 time per game haphazardly just isn't worth it
I felt like my game starts lagging after doing this audio hack so I turned it off but still my game glitches and lags with perfect internet connection anyway how to solve it
you just gained a sub dude. hopped on rebirth w this for the first time and was absolutely dumbfounded with how simply incredible this is. i went from blowing my eardrums out w my own gunshots to barely even hearing my gun, but hearing enough to where my shot wasnt thrown off. felt so good man good shit
Having an issue with loot boxes being insanely loud.. especially in resurgence where there are so many! Any ideas on how to decrease the volume effect for loot boxes?
Same issue. I tried the belowe, its a bit better. @LeJeanWZ said. so after testing a bit of settings I noticed that removing the subwoofer from the 7.1 settings lowers how aggressive the noises are like loot boxes and stuff and makes it easier to pinpoint the footsteps a bit.

Greatly explained video, however, I done this and all I heard was boxes unfortunately, they are incredibly loud along with other random noices which overpowered any footsteps. Is there anything we can do to fix this? Currently had to revert back to sonar
I second this!! I appreciate you making this video and it is helping out big time with footsteps, but only if there isn’t an unopened box within 50 yards of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Certain sounds are louder, but if you turn your volume up too try to hear the footsteps better it just makes those other noises worse. You’ll actually hear the footsteps plenty fine still if you turn your volume down and then the other sounds also won’t be as loud. I also turned the front option on hesuvi to 14 and I like that little better. Pretty much the more I turn up the audio the worse it sounds with ambient noise and the kill streaks and boxes. When I turned my volume down it was way better and the other noises weren’t as bad.
Congrats on being the absolute GOAT for Warzone Audio. Can we all just take a minute to appreciate what an incredible job you’re doing, all for free. What a gentleman you are sir, wish you a happy holiday season and come back next year well rested 🙏
@@Gimme_Them_Cheekswell it’s been working for me since he uploaded it. Make sure you have voice metre open every time you load into a game or else it won’t work.
@@jahmezis45 nah not too loud dude, they’re okay however the audio still isn’t fantastic even with the tune. I think it’s just a problem with warzone lol
Audio is miles better now after doing this tune, you’re a genius. I’m rocking Astro A40’s with the mix amp, I’m still hearing Chests loud and on ashika I was hearing the seagulls loudly lol. Is there anything simple I can tweak to fix those? The footsteps and gunfire while Im shooting sound way better though, awesome work!
WAVELINK PLEASE!!!!!!!! using voicemeter until your wavelink video comes out, bu at this point i am running both VM and Wavelink which seems like too much. BTW thank you for all you do. the visual filters and audio filters are brilliant
This isnt working for me, when i get to the step of opening Configurator for the second time, it still shows "Hi-Fi Cable Input" checked and it doesnt let me check de 4 boxes on the "troubleshotting" part even though i have it in "Install as LFX/GFX". Ive checked every step previuos to this and im doing it just like you. Furthermore when i go to the PLayback tab and enter properties, it doesnt show the "enhansments " on the top so i cant go on with the tutorial.
I did the same thing. You didn’t run powershell as an administrator. It puts the loudness EQ mod in the wrong directory. Had to uninstall everything and start over.
Art thank you for this! Unfortunately, i can not get used to the sound. Are you able to give us a quick rundown on how to revert back? Is it as simple as deleting the software or do we need to change anything in other system settings?
@lelz-6931 I did it today, just unninstalled everything and copied the normal loudness EQ config into powershell, changed default device back to headset and I think it's back to normal.
Thank you for the tutorial. Footsteps are much clearer. Just a quick question: I find boxes/loot crates being too loud. Is there a way to reduce those sounds?
I have much bigger problem now, haven't played the game before doing this guide so idk if this is the reason for it but the audio has exactly the same problems like it had in rebirth!!! at the some curious angles, there is no audio at all!!! specially when i get approached from behind!!! i can't say exactly what angle is that, but i tested it with chopper and crates sounds and it doesn't make any noise at these angles at all!!!
@@burstahh3265 Thx, i did it correctly. idk, what's the problem here. i uninstalled everything and test it without this guide to make sure and voila, everything worked normally!! i don't think this guide works, not for me.
Thanks for the video mate... easy to follow! Having an issue with loot boxes being insanely loud.. especially in resurgence where there are so many! Any ideas on how to decrease the volume effect for loot boxes?
Art_Is_War is the JGOD of the tech side of Call of Duty. Nobody better for the premium content, the easy-to-understand instructions, and the end results are AMAZING. Thank you for offering this content for free. I feel like I should've paid!
Followed step by step. Gun audio is lower, my own personal footsteps are almost non-existent. My problem is that enemy footsteps are extremely spotty, and I almost feel like I can only hear their sliding most of the time. Any help on this?
I agree…multiplayer it’s done because a can’t hear the enemy AT ALL. And in warzone, there’s no distancing in if the footsteps are closing in or moving away. Not sure what to do
Hi, this is a great guide, but the only problem I have is that I can't change the loudness of my voicemeter. The only time it changes is when I put the sound on 0 and it doesn't make any noise. Do I need to change the loudness through voicemeter from now on, or is there a way to do it through windows?
i went to voicemeeter menu and selected "Shortcut Key (Hook)" and then in there selected "Hook Volume Keys (For Level Output A1)" now my volume key works
@@kooldogg59 while I also utilize this method of doing so it would also be smart to have "Limit Remote Gain to 0dBfs" checked which is DIRECTLY under "Shortcut Key (Hook)..." option in the VoiceMeeter menu. This will make sure people aren't accidentally raising the dB gain slider to above 0.0... unless they WANT to do that LoL but wouldn't recommend doing so unless. Wish there was still a way to control the audio using the Windows Slider OR having a slider in the taskbar that was as easily accesbile as the Windows one that controlled VoiceMeeter.
This video is brilliant from every angle! as your t-shirt says: UNTIL you follow this video, you are still in the dark. Thank you so much for so much effort making this video. I have watched step by step 42.34 min Peace!
I had an issue with the previous video but mainly the problem lied with the property settings for Hi-Fi Cable and Voicemeeter not matching at 48000hz. I appreciate this update Art! New audio is insane and definitely an advantage - Takes time to get used to my footsteps and gun fire audio being reduced but absolutely worth it
how did you fix the hifi 48000 Hz issue? I'm having the same problem; I can't set the Hi-Fi cable on the Recorder tab to 48000 Hz, even though my headset is 48000 Hz.
@@canislobo2271 So art does give an example but in some cases your playback hardware properties under advanced may be greyed out at 44100 hz - if thats the case you want to change the levels to match across the board. So if your Hi-Fi cable is locked into 44100hz I would suggest matching it on your playback and recording to 2 channel, 24 bit 44100hz
I have a problem that prevents me from following the tutorial and I have already turned off the sound with Windows PowerShell, how can I reactivate the sound on my computer?
Hey Art great video!!! I am using the ElGato Wave link with the Wave XLR for my XLR mic and headset. It would be amazing for audio tuning with this software and hardware!! Thank you!!
I did everything as indicated, and it was super simple and worked. But it honestly worked too well. The amount of volume from all the extra in-game stuff like planes, explosions, and shots around the map was overwhelming. I couldn't even use the tune due to the loudness of everything, so i removed it all. Props to the work you've done, you educated me on sound with my pc; and who knows, maybe i just had some settings off.
Someone please help me 😢 I did everything as followed and randomly I will get a glitch where my audio turns statically and I have to restart my pc but sometimes it does it right after I restart my pc aswell I went back to the video and watched it over again and I restarted some steps and I still have the same problem.
i have the same issue... it makes me refresh voicemeter.. every hour or so. restart audio engine. most times when i start windows the audio is already glitched
New to pc gaming and i followed each step and it works perfectly. Also i have steam deck + and wave 3 mic, was able to figure out how to have the tune on adjustable dial. Awesome feature.
I tried this and for some reason when I do loudness EQ it's hard to tell where footsteps are coming from. and the only way I could hear enemies is if I'm facing the direction they are coming from but still sounds all over the place.
Im going to mess with it more tomorrow but i think youre having the same issue as me, say for example if i go into the firing range and shoot a dummy and then slowly turn as it comes back up, the audio from the dummy gets quieter and almost disappears at a diagonal angle and then comes back as you keep turning. The front speaker volume slider is changing my diagonal audio volume too. Its a bit game breaking. But ill check if its an issue with the sample rate or if its the LEQ or if its just an inherent issue with this setup.
You just switch it to the voice metre input. That's essentially your normal audio channel because the whole point of this is that you can figure the Hi-Fi cable as a custom audio enhancement tool for warzone and then if you switch to the voice metre input then it will play your normal audio settings.
Hey man, i appreciate your work you put in to this. I did. every step and yes it worked, already tested other settings aswell, but god dear you completely CANT hear sounds. You can’t hear which direction, you can’t hear which vertical direction they are, you hear footsteps loud that are far away (also teammates way too loud) but you completely can’t hear footsteps near you. Where it is much needed by the way. So unfortunately I have do deinstall everything which is probably more annoying than installing it
So this guide is amazing and very easy to follow. However, one of my devices (steelseries headphones) doesn't have 24 bit as an option so I just matched everything to 16 bit 48k and I'm wondering if it matters or am I missing out on the complete sound profile?
as always we appreaciate the work you put in... iv followed your guides . they work.. this time around for w.e reaason when i applied the new settings my 7.1 hifi cable started crackling
@@iGoBySick Fixed it! Thanks. I only have 16bit 44100 on my native device so I made sure voice meter input and Hi-Fi cable hade the same and now it's crystal :D.
I have my speakers/headphones game sound device set to the Art tune and I can’t hear anything, but then I put it back to headphones - Xbox controller I can hear again. What do I do
yes at that point u need to pay attention to the type of footstep sound u hear, them running on metal, carpet, wood, concrete etc, they all make slightly different footstep sounds
I hope you make an update on these settings. Pros : You can hear footsteps very clearly Cons : Can´t defirentate between teammates footsteps anymore Chests , Sky, and a lot of unncecery things are very loud Ears will hurt after a while. Sniper shots are so silent that you don´t notice that you pulled the trigger. Thanks for all the effort though. I wish a billion dollar company wouldve fixed their game instead.
INCREBIBLE EASY TO FOLLOW!!!! Thank you so much this has made a big difference in the few games ive played. I had a quick questions about setting the Hz. You recommened 24Bit 48000 Hz on both input and output, to match most peoples headphones. I have the Artic Pro Wireless, this does have separate Chat and Game channels. After going through this guide I noticed my Game Channel is 2 channel 16 Bit 48000 Hz, and the Chat channel is 1 Channel 16 bit 48000 Hz. Do i need to go back and change the settings to reflect what my headphones are at? I hope your able to get to this comment. Thank you very much!
Any update? I am having issues with my mic after setup. Echoing and my game audio coming through my mic so my party chat hears it twice (Steelseries Arctis 9X wireless)
Man I was bout to say this is some bs LOL cause I was having issues and audio was crashing randomly but I decided to give it another chance and watched this video again slowly doing all steps, I realized i missed a few since I was watching in the same device that I was configuring and everything works perfectly fine now. Thank you!
This video was superbly put together. I am using a Steel Series Arctis 9 and I must say that there are a few issues for me that I do not have the knowledge to fix. The plan is insanely loud and I can hear it from across the map. Kill streaks are also very loud. I can hear too much in terms of things like boxes, lights buzzing in rooms. Footsteps are, incredbily easy to hear but with all the other noises it's quite difficult for me. I do wonder if it has anything to do with me selecting my Headset in Voicemeeter as the output source?
Was looking for similar things in the comments. The tune really is a world of difference for footstep audio, but the environmental noise is really loud/disturbing. If playing MP (shipment really noticeable) its really hard to play with the tune due to the noise of the wind etc, planes in Warzone are very similar indeed. Also sending the audio from Voicemeeter to my Headset (HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless)
Exact same issue for me, when I done this all I heard was boxes unfortunately, they are incredibly loud along with other random noices which overpowered any footsteps. Is there anything we can do to fix this? Currently had to revert back to sonar
@@jasoncheema I reverted back to sonar whilst I don’t get the insane footstep audio I can actually play the game without being over encumbered. Sadly I don’t know enough about audio tuning to make any amendments to what Art made
My friend noticed something with the version of Voicemeter that you're using for your tune. When you're in system settings / options in Voicemeter it says that it's max 16 bit - but if you use Voicemeter Banana it allows you to use 24 bit. Is there something to this? Love what you do for the community
I had some crackling issues I couldn't resolve till I tried this. Also noticed on my DAC that the bitrate changed from 24 to 16 as soon voicemeeter opened before switching to banana
Hey Quick question, i've followed your whole guide but in the controller Hi-fi option when i try to click first the two boxes you selected and then later on the 4 boxes i have nothing to select. No LFX no 2 or 4 boxes what do i do ? @@ArtisWar
So I have the beacn studio I use with the software, and my device does not offer me to have 44.1 or 48k Hz. You said that this is required. So not sure what to do because my hardware only allows me to use 96000 Hz. Any help here?
First off - Thanks for all the videos you've made - they've helped tremendously! Quick question: The super short loudness EQ command - Never ran that one before, but still says 'Loudness Settings don't need to be enabled' - Am I good to go or should I uninstall the HiFi cable and try again?

lol anything for why my game audio is then going through my voice comms?
@@thefalconrychef6660 Assuming you're on PC, almost anytime one of my friends has this issue it's generally a discord setting. You can also right click the speaker and open volume mixer. That will show you every input and output for anything playing audio. I use a GoXlr and have had that happen a handful of times when my audio devices get mixed around.
@@DCANTIN56 cheers buddy il give it a try..iv actually just raged as I’m impatient when things go wrong…uninstalled everything back to basic and the mic ain’t working at all now lol
Tip the GOAT for his hard work!
Thanks for your great effort
This is truly the absolute BEST tutorial I have ever watched. Ive watched hundreds of guides like this, this blows every single one of them out of the water. WELL WELL DONE!!
What headset did u use?
too long , 42min of video...its so long for a tutorial
I have no audio now any ideas what I did wrong?
What a guide, easy to follow. The sound difference is incredible. I think I’ll try a higher front speaker setting. Maybe 10 or 15. You can hear footsteps clear as day. And parachutes.
A++ good sir.
Just did this and it is incredible. I’m a steel series sonar user and I found that you are still able to use sonar for everything else (discord, youtube, Spotify, etc) as well as the mic with no issues! So glad I heard about this
how did you get sonar to work after? I just finished this and none of the sonar input and outputs work for other programs
same problem for me. i cant turn people up in discord.@@ForrestWhite-dx5ht
didn't work for me, got to part where you past the config files into c drive folder and then go into config editor and are supposed to open panel but i cant because it says "file not found" under the vst plugin thing
any issues with your mic randomly not working in discord
wireless or cable?
Thank you for all the work you do for the community
This is absolutely insane...followed ur instructions to the T and it is unbelievable....to the point its overwhelming hearing all these footsteps lol takes getting used to
i didn't understand 75% of what you were talking about but somehow still managed to get this shit done cause of the crystal clear instructions. can't thank you enough man
WaveLink/WaveXLR user here, would love a breakdown for that ASAP! I appreciate the hard work you put in! Keep it up, goat!
did he make a video for wavelink yet?
I did everything as described in the video, didn’t miss a single step and everything worked out without any problems. Now I hear boxes as if they were in my room, airplanes and all the notifications I hear as if a war is starting in my room, air conditioners, fans, I hear everything so clearly that there is nothing to say, there is only one catch, I hear everything, except for steps, parachutes and everything for which this sound adjustment was done :D 10 steps out of 10
I have the same sounds now that I did this as well. Its not the tune fault but the game audio and where these other sounds are on the same EQ channel as Footsteps. To osset this I use Flex perk to calm it down and up the footsteps. Not ideal when you dont have the perk and im not a audio guy and that could affect other things. But the problem is that all the other sounds that we had before this tune was still gonna muffle the footsteps anyways. They made the audio in this game to help the fact that the audio track is horrible in this game as it has always been. And you can see that they know this by the fact that even the DEVS are saying they are working on audio problems like the parachutes having no audio on landing or close range to us, and that the boxes in general are loud as they are. Hopefully DEVS get this fixed in the new season so that this tune is even better then it is now. Even with all that I feel more confident going into a match on MKB knowing that I have a better audio Q then stock to get a advanced notice on incoming threats. Just my 2 cents. Art is War is helping the community the best he can without selling wall hacks and aimbots like the other scummy people of the world, and the ones that use them. Hey DEVS, lets get some aim assist on MKB, or do Fortnite visual audio queues and I will never go back to FN ;) this is arcade game not a simulator....
Is it okay if I put it on default device in the Warzone game or no?
@@DerekAnzy, why not
So are u iridescent yet or still gold III 😂😉
Same here, I hear EVERYTHING except footsteps after following every step of this tutorial.. any have a fix?
Yeah. As always your videos are absolutely astonishing. The tweaks you're bringing to the warzone community is absolutely unhinged. This is by far the best one you've put out there. This tweak is just an absolute power house of an advantage that makes your game run to it's best potential. Very well explained, it is clear you know what you're doing. Thank you Art! ❤
for about a year ive been using ur tune , few days ago i Change my windows and than play warzone without ur tune , than i understand how greaaat and good ur audio settings was !! thanks u alot GENIUS !!!!
I'm literally blown away. Played my first game, and although it sounds weird( only because I'm used to how loud warzone usually is with all the explosions) it actually allows me to hear footsteps and enemies. It's incredible. First game got 12 kills purely because I knew where people were
Thanks so much Art you're the best!!!
im sorry to say this bc i was excited but it literally sounds like complete garbage.
@@R3DST1CK 😂
@@R3DST1CK Mostly same but i agree to you man. Its make my weapon sound compressed but at the same time while it compressing it almost all sounds get compressed. Crate sounds are tooo loud i try many stuff to do but nah. This tuning is help if around is quite and need flex perk for shut crate sounds. Without that i was excited too but its far from all around usage.

@@ArtisWar i follow every single step but why i cant hear sound in the game i can hear well watching videos and stuff but i dont have audio game
I loved how simple you made this breaking everything down and making it real cut and dry. Great pacing, I thought it was perfect for me, and it really was super easy to follow.
just followed ur instructions ad its all up and running,so just wanted to say thank you and i appreciate the time and effort this must of taken you cheers brother.
Just did this step by step, it’s fantastic. Caveat is the sound of boxes before you open them like everyone says yes, but it doesn’t matter much. I love the lowered shooting volume as well. Going to keep this, this is a game changer. Thank you!
Super great tutorial, only issue that I and many other users seem to have is the loot boxes being ridiculously loud. Footsteps are also super loud too don’t get me wrong but if there is any loot box even remotely close to me it’s super loud and overpowers everything else.
1000 percent, going through the same thing
@@bigboymoussa3212 so after testing a bit of settings I noticed that removing the subwoofer from the 7.1 settings lowers how aggressive the noises are like loot boxes and stuff and makes it easier to pinpoint the footsteps a bit. Just go to the sound control panel and find the virtual hi-fi cable that you renamed to Art Tune and configure it. Click the configure button and keep it at 7.1 but when u press next disable the sub woofer and keep everything else the same as before. See if that helps.
@@LeJeanWZ tried it but didn't like it. I can't tell if a box is above or below me anymore

and planes
@@SurrealEntyou guys found anything to fix that ?
the eq of the crates and airstrikes are in the same eq that the foosteps so if Art low that sound also the footsteps its gonna be low too

I followed this guide step by step 5 times and when I get to the part of the video where you have to select LFX/GFX I only have the install apo pre mix and post mix available. The use original options are grayed out.
Me too, the bad part is this is probably something important as I cannot hear people pushing me but I can hear people nearby in other buildings. Otherwise for me it has to do with front audio in HeSuVi

This is amazing and super simple to follow as you address every possible roadbump. One thing for those of you trying to figure out where to put your front on hesuvi, 7 seemed a bit weird as there is like no other audio and for whatever reason sometimes enemy footsteps would drown out as well, 20 seems to work the best for me. It does show you how horrendous the games base audio is when there is literally zero other sound and somebody can still sprint at you with barely any audio cue. You need to just go handle activisions audio for them lol, that is if they didnt make the audio bad on purpose to lower the skill gap further which im assuming is the case...
My biggest problem is the sound of the loot boxes that is making me sick and I don't know what to do to fix it 😢
try turning sound EQ off on the art tune and see if that helps@@stamatisgiannikos2993
@stamatisgiannikos2993 Art talked about this in the video. There is nothing you can do about the chests/airstrikes. The ONLY adjustment you can make that will slightly help; is to turn your volume on your headset down. So COD master volume to 100 and then on your headset turn it down till the chests are less annoying. I have a corsair headset and for me, it was around 30-50 volume. Takes some getting used too but chests are less loud and foot steps are still clear as day
@@getwealthyquick7600what Corsair headset I just got the virtuoso pro the open back headset .. does it really make that big a difference
@@DEKER_FPS The Corsair Virtuoso XT Wireless are the ones I have. For warzone, the tune makes a huge difference! Like I said though the chest and airstrikes are extremely loud and the only way to counter that is to turn your headset volume down. At the moment there is no other way to alleviate those sounds other than dropping you volume
I've been using this for around a month and omg its a NIGHT AND DAY difference. I'm winning wayyy more and getting wayy more kills because i can ACTUALLY HEAR FOOTSTEPS
So I have a problem related to 13:50. I did everything right, but on Window PowerShell I did all the steps but the moment I type “Hi-Fi Cable Input” and press Enter, It just stays there. I know that Art just said that we should be patient but I literally just left it overnight and nothing happened, it didn’t activate. What do I do now?

@@collin-editz4301 need this too lmk if u get it fixed
@@collin-editz4301did you figure it out?
after using for a few days...feedback...
1) sound localization is very good AND took time to get used to the sound changes (someone sliding sounds like they are right next to me teammate or not and others)
2) I increased the Front and LFE to 10 and 10 to feel like I was actually participating in a game. Original minimal settings were too muted and numb feeling to me
3) not very stable. Required me to restart audio engines in Hesuvi and Voicemeeter several time during WZ matches
4) Now I have an unfixable (likely due to the fact I don't understand enough about it) digital reverb/artifact that is not fixed with audio engine restarts (like before) or full restart of PC
conclusion: turned off. The audio engine restarts were kinda manageable though timing sucks several times, but tolerable for the benefits. The permanent error (#4) is a non-starter
Really appreciate this, I agee with stability, mine was doing wonders 3 days then one day says error from drive, I googled and it turns out voicemeeter is a nightmare for many people in different areas so is really unfortunate cause I really love the mix it feels great to hear that clear the footsteps.
Agreed, almost wish there was an in between the regular audio or this but it seems like you have to pick one or the other
@@RyanRigney-je4yg If this was stable I would continue to use it and adjust to my liking...but restarting audio engines 1-3 time per game haphazardly just isn't worth it

Are crates super loud for everyone else?
Yeh crates and air strikes stupidly loud it ruins it for me 😢
Certain sounds are louder, but if you turn your volume up too try to hear the footsteps better it just makes those other noises worse. You’ll actually hear the footsteps plenty fine still if you turn your volume down and then the other sounds also won’t be as loud. I also turned the front option on hesuvi to 14 and I like that little better. Pretty much the more I turn up the audio the worse it sounds with ambient noise and the kill streaks and boxes. When I turned my volume down it was way better and the other noises weren’t as bad.
Yeah but it still quiets down everything else I like it a lot

@@kooldogg59 while I also utilize this method of doing so it would also be smart to have "Limit Remote Gain to 0dBfs" checked which is DIRECTLY under "Shortcut Key (Hook)..." option in the VoiceMeeter menu. This will make sure people aren't accidentally raising the dB gain slider to above 0.0... unless they WANT to do that LoL but wouldn't recommend doing so unless. Wish there was still a way to control the audio using the Windows Slider OR having a slider in the taskbar that was as easily accesbile as the Windows one that controlled VoiceMeeter.

i have the same issue... it makes me refresh voicemeter.. every hour or so. restart audio engine. most times when i start windows the audio is already glitched
@connomeyer2072 I have the exact same issue. Did you solve this problem yet?
Same issue
Same. I didn’t get windows powershell at all.
I had the same issue and just fixed it by making sure that it matched my 16-bit 4800 HZ. The part of the video around 18 and 1/2 minutes
I’ve found that a frequency of 8700 (notch filter) added to config file in EQapo really helps quiet the loot boxes a decent amount
How does one do this? Loot boxes are insane. The tune is fire otherwise though!!!
which step did you changed it?
for me personally the loot boxes are way to loud
equalizerapo, press plus, add filter, notch, then set it at 8700khz and lower the volume of that portion a little bit @@cre8ivenative636
Fixed Q or Q Factor?
everything works perfect, just 1 thing, i have very small delay in all my audio...why is that?
Same, trying to figure that out
New to pc gaming and i followed each step and it works perfectly. Also i have steam deck + and wave 3 mic, was able to figure out how to have the tune on adjustable dial. Awesome feature.
I tried this and for some reason when I do loudness EQ it's hard to tell where footsteps are coming from. and the only way I could hear enemies is if I'm facing the direction they are coming from but still sounds all over the place.
Yeah I have the same issue. I believe to have followed every step correctly in the video but it does not seem clear where footsteps are coming from.
For me aswell, can hear footsteps extremly loud but cant localize them
Disable it
Im going to mess with it more tomorrow but i think youre having the same issue as me, say for example if i go into the firing range and shoot a dummy and then slowly turn as it comes back up, the audio from the dummy gets quieter and almost disappears at a diagonal angle and then comes back as you keep turning. The front speaker volume slider is changing my diagonal audio volume too. Its a bit game breaking. But ill check if its an issue with the sample rate or if its the LEQ or if its just an inherent issue with this setup.
I ended going back to the old audio settings maybe until it’s more fine tuned
How to delete all this stuff and return default settings? Thx for guide, but i dont need it anymore
have you figured out how?
@@imonlyapickle2512 just delete every app that you instaled and thats it
just uninstall Hifi cable, equalizer apo, voicemeeter, hisuve and Reaplugs in you pc settings (Uninstall programs)
Is there anyway to revert everything back to normal for when i feel like not using it or just removing it completely
Did you ever figure this out?
@@suwgify i guess we are never gonna find out
@@faiz697 just uninstall all softwares and files
And put your sound back to default
Mine worked after some messing around with it all
Just switch the output back from hifi?
You just switch it to the voice metre input. That's essentially your normal audio channel because the whole point of this is that you can figure the Hi-Fi cable as a custom audio enhancement tool for warzone and then if you switch to the voice metre input then it will play your normal audio settings.
Such a difference! Thanks for the awesome easy to follow vid!
Hey man, i appreciate your work you put in to this. I did. every step and yes it worked, already tested other settings aswell, but god dear you completely CANT hear sounds. You can’t hear which direction, you can’t hear which vertical direction they are, you hear footsteps loud that are far away (also teammates way too loud) but you completely can’t hear footsteps near you. Where it is much needed by the way. So unfortunately I have do deinstall everything which is probably more annoying than installing it
I'm having the same issue can you please explain how to deinstall
@@rockydhaliwal15 yeah you just need to search „deinstall programs“ on your searchbar, that’s all
15:15 the "use original APO" box is grayed out....why? I am following every single step...
im in the same boat. now the audio sounds super delayed
Are boxes and other sound really loud also or is there a way to reduce that?
I’m having the Sam issue and the foot steps are off
24:59 i cant find art tune there i only get 3 WDM : mic in at rear panel
Ks:vb audio hi fi cable
Mme:mic in rear panel
So this guide is amazing and very easy to follow. However, one of my devices (steelseries headphones) doesn't have 24 bit as an option so I just matched everything to 16 bit 48k and I'm wondering if it matters or am I missing out on the complete sound profile?
I also have the same "problem" with hyperX headphones, despite this do you hear well?
@@AndreaIannotti04116 no, chests are waaay too loud.
Did you guys found a fix to this?
same problem with me
as always we appreaciate the work you put in... iv followed your guides . they work.. this time around for w.e reaason when i applied the new settings my 7.1 hifi cable started crackling
If u find a solution to this let me know.
Make sure that devices are on 24 bit 48000hz studio quality or matching hz if it won’t allow for 48000 and reboot pc
@@iGoBySick Fixed it! Thanks. I only have 16bit 44100 on my native device so I made sure voice meter input and Hi-Fi cable hade the same and now it's crystal :D.
Go to voicemeter and go to the settings part and change the 256 WDM to a higher number
I have my speakers/headphones game sound device set to the Art tune and I can’t hear anything, but then I put it back to headphones - Xbox controller I can hear again. What do I do
I’m having the same issue, did you fix it??
Open sound control panel right click properties recording playback listen check that box
@@aarmunoz10what like I’m tryna do that but I can’t
@@aarmunoz10hi i am having the same issue can u explain it better?
Thanks. Sounds is amazing I can hear everything from far
Do you also have it that when someone is running in a building, it's hard to locate whether they're upstairs or downstairs
yes at that point u need to pay attention to the type of footstep sound u hear, them running on metal, carpet, wood, concrete etc, they all make slightly different footstep sounds
I hope you make an update on these settings.
Pros :
You can hear footsteps very clearly
Cons :
Can´t defirentate between teammates footsteps anymore
Chests , Sky, and a lot of unncecery things are very loud
Ears will hurt after a while.
Sniper shots are so silent that you don´t notice that you pulled the trigger.
Thanks for all the effort though.
I wish a billion dollar company wouldve fixed their game instead.
Very bad for my tinnitus which I’m pretty sure I have from cod in the first place. Listen to your body there
INCREBIBLE EASY TO FOLLOW!!!! Thank you so much this has made a big difference in the few games ive played. I had a quick questions about setting the Hz. You recommened 24Bit 48000 Hz on both input and output, to match most peoples headphones. I have the Artic Pro Wireless, this does have separate Chat and Game channels. After going through this guide I noticed my Game Channel is 2 channel 16 Bit 48000 Hz, and the Chat channel is 1 Channel 16 bit 48000 Hz. Do i need to go back and change the settings to reflect what my headphones are at? I hope your able to get to this comment. Thank you very much!
I have the same scenario, did it work on the 16 bit and did you set all the channels to 16 bit 48000 Hz?
Any update? I am having issues with my mic after setup. Echoing and my game audio coming through my mic so my party chat hears it twice (Steelseries Arctis 9X wireless)
did anyone figure this out? I cant get my mic on my headset to work
which audio device did you select at min 16:25?? headphones (arctis nova pro) or SPDIF interface?
I have the same issue and I lost all my audio.
Man I was bout to say this is some bs LOL cause I was having issues and audio was crashing randomly but I decided to give it another chance and watched this video again slowly doing all steps, I realized i missed a few since I was watching in the same device that I was configuring and everything works perfectly fine now. Thank you!
This video was superbly put together.
I am using a Steel Series Arctis 9 and I must say that there are a few issues for me that I do not have the knowledge to fix.
The plan is insanely loud and I can hear it from across the map.
Kill streaks are also very loud.
I can hear too much in terms of things like boxes, lights buzzing in rooms.
Footsteps are, incredbily easy to hear but with all the other noises it's quite difficult for me.
I do wonder if it has anything to do with me selecting my Headset in Voicemeeter as the output source?
Same for me. Using astro a50s and don't hear anything but boxes on the map. Sadge :(
Was looking for similar things in the comments. The tune really is a world of difference for footstep audio, but the environmental noise is really loud/disturbing. If playing MP (shipment really noticeable) its really hard to play with the tune due to the noise of the wind etc, planes in Warzone are very similar indeed. Also sending the audio from Voicemeeter to my Headset (HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless)
@@vforvendetta2178 agreed. I find it far too overwhelming, maybe it works better with IEMs who knows!
Exact same issue for me, when I done this all I heard was boxes unfortunately, they are incredibly loud along with other random noices which overpowered any footsteps. Is there anything we can do to fix this? Currently had to revert back to sonar
@@jasoncheema I reverted back to sonar whilst I don’t get the insane footstep audio I can actually play the game without being over encumbered. Sadly I don’t know enough about audio tuning to make any amendments to what Art made
My friend noticed something with the version of Voicemeter that you're using for your tune. When you're in system settings / options in Voicemeter it says that it's max 16 bit - but if you use Voicemeter Banana it allows you to use 24 bit. Is there something to this? Love what you do for the community
I had some crackling issues I couldn't resolve till I tried this. Also noticed on my DAC that the bitrate changed from 24 to 16 as soon voicemeeter opened before switching to banana
Unknown, but shouldn't matter too much.
@@ArtisWar Fair enough - thanks for the quick reply!
Hey Quick question, i've followed your whole guide but in the controller Hi-fi option when i try to click first the two boxes you selected and then later on the 4 boxes i have nothing to select. No LFX no 2 or 4 boxes what do i do ? @@ArtisWar
@@elfimes8710Having the same problem did you fix it yet?
ITS NOT ASKING FOR THE PLAYBACK DEVICE NAME ON POWERSHELL
So I have the beacn studio I use with the software, and my device does not offer me to have 44.1 or 48k Hz. You said that this is required. So not sure what to do because my hardware only allows me to use 96000 Hz. Any help here?
Goated tune, only problem I've been having is the plane is super loud, as well as killsteaks, other than that everything is great
The plane was loud on the last tune now it’s not
Supply boxes as well
First off - Thanks for all the videos you've made - they've helped tremendously!
Quick question: The super short loudness EQ command - Never ran that one before, but still says 'Loudness Settings don't need to be enabled' - Am I good to go or should I uninstall the HiFi cable and try again?
I have the same thing
@@ZAZA-zu4ld Same @artiswar
my mic doesnt work and i cant hear people taliking in game?
Same
We can do what now ?
Me too I don’t hear
Reset voicemetter “audio engine “and you can hear people in game. You have to do it every time that’s why you pin voicemeeter to taskbar.👍🏽
