Usually, when you're walking (holding the SHIFT key) in CS:GO, you're trying to be quiet, but you're also probably trying to listen for enemies unaware of your position making footsteps or other noises. That's where this bind comes in handy. This bind will raise your game volume when you are holding the SHIFT key, which will make it much easier. Listen to Counterstrike SoundCloud is an audio platform that lets you listen to what you love and share the sounds you create. Prague & London. 21598 Followers.

As you might already have noticed, one of the most important gameplay mechanics in CS:GO is the sound. The exact knowledge of what is hearable for your enemies and what not, can give you a huge advantage in competitive matches. In this guide we will help you to adjust your sound settings, explain some basic things and give you a handy overview what your enemies can hear ingame.
What you see above is the new sound spatialization in CS:GO. The graphic shows you the virtual speaker placement and cross-fading algorithms of the 3 optimized presets for headphones, speakers, and surround-sound setups. From our experience the locational sound algorithms for headphones are pretty good, so we highly recommend you to play with the 'headphones' preset (windows_speaker_config '1').
General advice
You have to understand that there are no 'one perfect sound settings for everyone'. Every single headset and every soundchip sounds different, so we can't give you specific recommendations or exact values to optimize your individual equipment. However, we can explain some basic things and give you more general advices how you could optimize the settings by yourself.
Boost high-fequency sounds (footsteps)
You can use the graphic equalizer of your sound card to boost the volume of footsteps. Mario level editor for mac. Please don't forget to create a custom preset for your tests, so you can delete it anytime if you are unsatisfied with the results. We also highly recommend you to increase the sliders slightly and cautious.
You will find the higher fequencies on the right side of the equalizer (2K, 4K, 8K, 16K etc). The screenshot above shows you completely neutral settings, so don't take it as a recommendation – we just want to give you an example how the graphic equalizer of your sound card could look like. We also prepared a short video for you, which shows the difference between the default and tweaked settings (+10dB to 2K, 4K, 8K and 16K frequencies):

Why you should change snd_mixahead to 0.05
snd_mixahead 0.05 changes the time length of the sound buffer in milliseconds (0.05 is 50 ms and the default value of 0.1 is 100 ms). This means you will reduce the sound delay from 100ms to only 50ms. 0.05 is pretty safe value and shouldn't cause any crackling noises or sound distortions. Raise it if you experience audio glitches or noticeable sound delays. Generally you can say, the smaller the buffer, the lesser the delay, but also harder for your hardware to not mess up the sound.
Counter Strike Go Sounds
There are also a few other config variables, which can change the crossfading values, but you shouldn't mess with them, if you don't know what you are doing. snd_debug_panlaw '1' is a interesting cvar, which will give you a visual representation of sound sources on the map along with your speaker placement and your current crossfade algorithm.
