Best Audio Settings for Footsteps in CS2

L/R Isolation: The Key Setting

Set L/R Isolation to 50-70%. Setting it to 100% makes sounds strictly left or right, which is bad for positioning. 0% blends them too much. The sweet spot allows you to pinpoint diagonal directions.

Perspective Correction

Set this to No. It attempts to adjust sound based on your view angle but often distorts distance perception.

EQ Profile

Crisp enhances high frequencies (footsteps, reloads). Natural is flatter but arguably more accurate for distance.
