Why You Can't Hear Footsteps
Game developers mix audio for cinematic impact—explosions are 10-20dB louder than footsteps. Your headset isn't broken, the game audio is just badly balanced.
Sound V2 fixes this automatically:
- Boosts the 1-4kHz frequencies where footsteps live
- Compresses loud sounds so quiet footsteps aren't drowned out
- Shows a visual radar so you can see where sounds come from
