Warzone offers six distinct audio mix settings, each tailored for different playback setups:

• PC: Designed for desktop speakers, this setting features the tightest dynamic range and EQ for clarity at close range.
• Headphones: Optimized EQ and dynamic range for standard headphone use.
• Headphones Bass Boost: Enhances low-end frequencies while maintaining a tight dynamic range and refined EQ—ideal for tracking footsteps.
• Sound Bar: Tweaked EQ and focused dynamic range, suited for soundbar setups.
• Home Theatre: Built for home theater systems, this mode offers a wide dynamic range for immersive gameplay.
• Cinema: The most expansive dynamic range, intended for movie theater-level audio environments.

Among these, Home Theatre currently stands out as the top choice. It makes footsteps more pronounced while subtly dialing back background noise. The only drawback is that gunfire can sometimes sound a bit sharp, likely due to the mix’s emphasis on higher frequencies.

For an immersive and competitive gameplay experience, these are the recommended starting audio settings:

• Audio Mix: Home Theater
