Best Audio Settings to Hear Footsteps in Black Ops Cold War
There are a few settings, inbuilt in the game, that you should tweak in order to hear the footsteps properly in the Black Ops Cold War game. Here is one correct preset or best audio settings that you can make use of to hear footsteps clearly in the game.

- Music Volume: 0
- Sound Effects Volume: 100
- Dialogue Volume: 100
- Cinematics Volume: 100
- Audio Presets: High Boost

From the above settings, it is clear that in order to get the best footsteps audio, one should tune down the Music Volume to 0 and set the Audio Presets to High Boost. However, you can choose from any of the three preset Boost modes given in the game.

Note that these changes would not impact the footsteps hearing capabilities of the enemies using the Ninja perk. But, hearing the footsteps of normal enemies would be significantly improved. Apart from these settings, one should also remember to mute all the other players in the lobby to hear the footsteps more clearly.
