Using the equalizer to adjust the game sound
You can use the equalizer to adjust the tonal character of the game sound (input source: GAME (SPEAKER)). This lets you emphasize important frequency ranges in the game or de-emphasize unnecessary frequency ranges.
For instance, you can use this to suppress the sound of wind or other environmental noises during an FPS game, or make sounds like footsteps or gunshots easier to hear.
- On the menu screen, click the “GAME” tab to adjust the equalizer.
