Hyperx Cloud core II Footstep/gunshots sounds help

[Hiper]

Hello,i own a pair of Hyperx Cloud Core II headsets,and since the last major update i have issues pinpointing gunshots/footsteps.
I died countless of times in houses because i hear people at first floor,and actually they are in a room close to me,at second floor.Also,i hear a gunshot sound which seems to be 100-150m close,and its actually 300-500m away
I have game sounds at default right now,volume maxed,HRTF on,7.1 from usb dongle off
I play FPS games for about 15years already,its not like i have a hearing problem or whatever
I tried voicemeeter banana,didnt get any good results
Also i tried Equiliser APO but i cant find any good settings

Can anyone please tell me good Equilizer APO settings for better positional sound and maybe less wind/ambient noise for this particular headset? Or what should i check in general to be sure i dont have messed sound settings

Switch to stereo and remove HRTF, use either a 16/24bit 192000hz or 44000hz in sound properties.

I am using stereo,24bit 44000 hz,but if i remove HRTF directional sound is way worse
Edit: actually,at my headset sound properties i can only use 16bit

Everyone's ears are different, so what works for me might not work for you... but I would say give Spatial Sound Card a shot. It's the only virtual surround solution that I've tried that works for me (and I've tried them all basically). https://spatialsoundcard.com/

It's also available on Steam but that version has a ton of issues, better to just get it off the website. The demo version also has one profile where as the full one has four more. Sadly the demo one is the worst of them as it distorts the sound the most. A couple of the others gives a lot "cleaner" sound while still providing a good surround effect. It's still good for being free though.

Also, make sure everything else you have installed is disabled (other virtual surround, equalization, etc.) or it'll most likely sound terrible.

I will try the spatialsound,thank you
Regarding HRTF,i noticed that gunshot distance positioning is better without HRTF,but footstep positional sound is way way worse without it,so i suppose its best to keep it on,for now

Still looking for an equilizer APO/any equilizer setting to better fix positional audio

The HRTF setting in-game only affects other player's gunshots though. It doesn't change footsteps at all.

Most likely it only seems that way since gunshots are generally louder with HRTF on, making footsteps harder to make out when people are shooting.

It's true that with HRTF on it's much easier to judge the direction of gunshots but at the same time it almost makes it impossible to determine distance... so it's I would say it's much better to have it off and use some external virtual surround solution to make it easier to determine direction.

Up for equilizer apo setting
