What Nahimic setting should I use in MSI for better sound in siege?

[Cowboy]

I've MSI GF63 9RCX which comes with Nahimic 3 sound enhancer (built-in).

There are lot of settings like surround sound, treble, voices, bass. I want to optimize this for Rainbow Six: Siege (I use Hi-Fi in-game) as I only play FPS games and Siege in most.

Someone please suggest me some settings (like value in dB) or should I just turn off all the effects?

If you want to seriously soundwhore, use this:

Equalizer:
31hz: -12 dB
62hz: -12 dB
125hz: -12 dB
250hz: -7 dB
500hz: 0 dB
1000hz: 0 dB
2000hz: +10 dB
4000hz: +10 dB
8000hz: +10 dB
16000hz: +10 dB
Level: 0 dB

Disable ALL OTHER effects. If you have an "Amplify Level" setting like I do on my Asus, choose performance or extreme (headset dependent).

Bare in mind the above equalizer options will make most game sounds "tinny" and washed out, but seriously amplifies footsteps.

I think Nahimic doesn't give me the setting to customize each frequency, although I've got voices, bass, treble to which I can customize the dBs so could you please tell me almost what dB I should go with three of them. And I've surround sound too do you think enabling it will benefit me.

By the way, thanks for your reply.

No, don't enable surround sound. Believe it or not but the game isn't designed for that, it's designed for Stereo. I'm surprised you don't have an equalizer option, though. I can only suggest testing out the frequencies you can change in a training grounds.

Yeah, I saw that update. But the question is I've a Senheiser headphone. How will I able to know best settings of bands for footsteps in Siege?

fellow MSI user here (MSI GE73 RGB Raider 8RE), the treble setting in nahimic should let you make things like footsteps louder (at least, according to the software). as for me, I am still searching on how to properly adjust the nahimic equalizer for best sound. it does not help that the software only shows a bar for the different frequencies, so you can't tell how much the highest or lowest setting value are.

also found this guide on the steelseries site which, depending on your MSI model includes a steelseries RGB per key keyboard.

Keyboard? Why would I need a keyboard for sound settings?

I think he was just mentioning that SteelSeries also has RGB keyboards :) but the link he shared is useful to your problem

Also consider buying a gaming ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bucket so you don't lose even when nature calls. Best of luck brother

Yeah, it is. Still struggling with in-game sound.
