Noticing approaching opponents is essential in CS:GO. In order to do so you need to optimize your sound settings and this guide shows you how.

Counter-Strike: Global offensive has many sound cues that can help you secure an edge over your opponents. But to utilize those properly you need to be able to identify the sounds you here quickly. Here are the sound settings you need to adjust to get the full benefit for your gameplay.



1. Basics
Sound Card

Having a dedicated sound card in your computer is obviously an advantage and the difference is noticeable. Some players can even recognize the faintest sounds from far away or accurately predict if players are above or below them.

Headset

Another important thing is a good headset. If you really want to get the most out of the sound in CS:GO, you should not skimp out here. A sound card coupled with a good headset is worth its money in CS:GO.

Make sure that your headset is also connected to your sound card and not just connected to your mainboard.

2. In-game settings and Windows settings
The very first in-game setting that needs to be adjusted is putting your audio output to “Stereo” and to disable “Advanced 3D Audio Processing”. Make sure that your sound card drivers and Windows Settings are also set to Stereo. The most commonly used audio format in CS:GO is also 16-bit with 44100 Hz, so make sure to adjust your settings in Windows for that.

You can find that settings in the advanced tab of your headset. Another useful setting here is to disable application control over your audio device.

3. Popular Config commands
For the following settings we dive in 메이저안전놀이터
deeper into the options. Here are some of the most popular audio-related commands to put into your personal config file.

You don’t know what a config is or how to customize it? Check out our Config Guide to start.

volume “0.2” // This setting is the general volume slider for all sound. You can adjust it up to “1” according to your own preference.

voice_enable “1” // This enables voicechat with other players. If you set it to “0” you disable the voice chat.

voice_scale “0.5” // This value determines how loud your player’s communication will be played. You can freely adjust this between “0” and “1” but if you put a higher value on it, you won’t hear as much game sounds as long as a teammate is talking.

windows_speaker_config “0” // This setting disables your speaker configuration.

snd_surround_speakers “0” // This setting disables your surround speaker configuration

snd_tensecondwarning_volume “1” // This is a setting you should keep on the default level. This activates your music kit in the last 10 seconds of a planted bomb. This way you can easily determine if it is still possible to go for a defuse or not.

Commands that disable unnecessary music:
snd_musicvolume “0”

snd_menumusic_volume “0”

snd_roundend_volume “0”

snd_roundstart_volume “0”

snd_deathcamera_volume “0”

snd_mapobjective_volume “0”

Commands that improve orientation:
snd_front_headphone_position “xx.x” // Replace the “xx.x” with your screen resolution (e.g: 43.2 for 5:4 or 45.0 for 4.3 or 50.2 for 16:10 or 53.2 for 16:9)

snd_rear_headphone_position “90.0” // Small adjustments here can give you a better idea on the direction from which the sound comes from.

snd_headphone_pan_exponent “1.2” // Sounds over medium or long distances are louder without affecting close sound cues.

snd_headphone_pan_radial_weight “0.5” // Makes it easier to locate sounds due to increases or decreases in volume.

4. Test your sound settings
