Footstep Audio Still muffled by rest of game sounds

As the title Says the Footstep Audio for this game is still muffled out by the rest of the sounds of the game. I’ve tried multiple headsets, speakers and even different PC’s: All to the exact same results.

Someone earlier posted that there’s a windows bug that may be the cause and windows gave a “fix” update. I downloaded it and updated windows, Still the Audio bug persists.

If anyone else is having Footstep Audio issues please report them this has been ongoing for months now and I have yet to see back anything from anyone about actually looking into this. As a support Main not being able to hear footsteps is basically like play with a blindfold.

Check if your windows is updated to it’s latest version, if it is then follow some of the fixes below

  • Go to your Overwatch settings > Go to your sound settings > Check if “Dolby Atmos for headphones” is turned on, if it is turn it off.
  • Right click the volume icon on your taskbar > Check if spatial sound is turned on, if it’s on turn it off.
  • Check if your audio drivers are up to date.

Done all of those already, still doesn’t fix the problem. It’s a very very specific OW problem. I can hear ults, voicelines, music, ability effects, bullets… but footsteps fall below all of them and it’s OW exclusive.
