In this article, we'll guide you through optimizing the in-game settings of BO6 for use with Audio Radar. We'll cover the preferred audio settings, step-by-step instructions for configuring Audio Radar, and tips for testing and optimizing your setup. Additionally, you'll find best practices and examples of how Audio Radar can enhance your gameplay experience.

Game-Specific Settings

Step 1:   
From the main menu, navigate to the 'Settings' menu.

Step 2:

Select the 'Audio' option to enter audio settings.  

Step 3: 

Under the Volumes section, navigate to additional audio settings by selecting ‘Show More.’ Disable unnecessary sounds that might interfere with critical game sounds:

• Set 'Gameplay Music Volume' and 'Dialogue Volume,'  to 0. Leave 'Effects Volume' at 100. ‘Cinematic Music’ only plays during cinematics, so you can turn this on or off.

Step 4: 

Leave Speaker/headphones Game Sound Device as ‘System Default Device’. If you have Voicemeeter installed, set it to ‘Voicemeeter Aux Input.’

Step 5: 

Under ‘Speaker Configuration' select ‘7.1 Surround.’ 

Step 6:

Ensure ‘Enhanced Headphone Mode is turned off,' as this setting uses 3d audio which only affects the front two bars of Audio Radar.

Step 7: 

Under the Global tab, set ‘Audio Mix to Home Theater’.

Step 8: 

Click on the Voice Chat tab.

Step 9 (For PC + Voicemeeter):

Select 'Cable Input (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)' as the output device. If you don't use Voice Chat, you can leave this off. If you are on a console, voices will appear on the Radar.

Configuring Audio Radar

Adjust Sensitivity: Given the size of the maps, we recommend having the Audio Radar's sensitivity at a low level. 

Testing Tips

Enter a Practice Match: Start a practice match and mess around with sensitivity and sound settings. 

Focus on Critical Sounds: As you play, pay attention to the direction of important sounds like footsteps, weapon reloads, and close-range gunfire.

Iterate on Settings: Make incremental changes to your audio settings based on your experience in the practice matches. Notice if certain sounds are too prominent or if others need to be more discernible.
