The best sound settings in CS2 (How the pros play)

The professionals use these sound settings in CS2

• Total volume – 100%
• Audio device - Standard device
• EQ profile - Clear
• L/R isolation – 0%
• Perspective correction - Yes
• Activate voice chat - Push-To-Talk
• Volume for voice chats – 100%
• Simplified Push-To-Talk - No
• Play sound when playing minimized - No

The overall volume should be set so that everything in the game can be heard clearly but is not too loud. The EQ profile on Clear helps to hear the sounds of opponents better. The L/R Isolation option on "0%" and the perspective correction on "Yes" ensure that the sound comes from a realistic right angle. If you experience lag when speaking in voice chat, you can set the Simplified Push-To-Talk setting to "Yes".

Music settings:

• Volume in the main menu – 5%
• Volume at the start of the round – 0%
• Volume during action – 0%
• Volume at the end of the round – 0%
• Volume for the best player's anthem – 0%
• Volume for bomb disposal/hostage rescue – 0%
• Volume of the ten-second warning – 20%
• Volume after death – 0%
• Mute the best player's anthem if players are on both teams - Yes

Most of the music settings are set to 0%, as they can only be distracting but do not provide any important information for the player. The only setting that brings an advantage to the game is the ten-second warning. It helps to recognize how much time is left until the bomb explodes, especially if you are further away from the bomb.
