And yes the audio in the video is slightly broken.

Q: Why does this mod exist?
A: If you've seen the gameplay of the console version of Mirror's Edge, you'll notice that the footstep sounds are somewhat slightly different from the ones heard on the Windows version.
I did a bit of investigation and found that the footstep sounds in the Windows version somehow seem to have some sort of "fade-in" effect, which isn't present in the original sound files ripped from the game.
What I did in this mod is adding a blank of about 0.01 second at the start of each footstep sounds, so the game would only "fade-in" the blank.
The result is that the footstep sounds played in-game will sound exactly like the original sound files.
The console version doesn't have this "fade-in" effect, so it plays the original sound files correctly and sounds different from the Windows version in the first place.

Q: Whether the game plays the footstep sounds correctly doesn't bother me. Why do I need this mod?
A: You don't! Basically I made this mod because apparently I'm the only one bothered by this problem :p
I decided to share this mod anyway, because why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Q: You make weird mods.
A: Yes.

Actually I've used this mod in my "The City at Alert" map walkthrough video. Check it out if you want to see further demonstration:

The map shown is not mine. The post to the map seems to be gone so I'll just link the profile of the author.
