How to Hear Footsteps Better with AUDIO Focus Setting on PS5 (Best Sounds Tutorial)
Being able to hear footsteps clearly is a major advantage in competitive multiplayer games. The PS5 offers a relatively new feature called "Audio Focus" that is designed specifically for this purpose. This setting, combined with other PS5 and in-game audio options, is the best method to amplify the sounds you need to hear most, like enemy footsteps.
The Best Method: Using Audio Focus
Audio Focus is an accessibility feature introduced in a recent PS5 system software update. It's a game-changer for players who want to fine-tune their audio to prioritize specific sounds.
Ensure Your System is Updated: Make sure your PS5 system software is up to date to have access to the Audio Focus setting.
Connect Your Headset: Audio Focus only works when a headset is connected to your PS5. This can be a wired headset plugged into the controller or a wireless headset connected via USB.
Navigate to the Settings:
From the PS5 home screen, go to the top-right and select the Settings gear icon.
Select Sound.
On the left-hand menu, select Volume.
Find and Adjust Audio Focus:
In the Volume menu, you will find the Audio Focus setting.
Turn "Use Audio Focus" on.
Select "Focus Type" to see the different options. For hearing footsteps, you have a few choices, but the most relevant are:
Boost High Pitch: This option is specifically designed to "amplify high-frequency sounds like footsteps and metallic noises." This is often the best choice for a direct boost to those critical sounds.
Boost Quiet Sounds: This option "amplifies low-volume sounds in a wide range of frequencies." Many players find this to be an excellent alternative, as it can make footsteps and other subtle sounds more audible without making the overall soundscape too loud or harsh.
Set the Adjustment Level:
After selecting a Focus Type, you can set the "Adjustment Level" to Weak, Medium, or Strong.
It is generally recommended to start with Weak or Medium. The Strong setting can be very aggressive, making other sounds (like gunshots and explosions) uncomfortably loud.
