You can't distinguish distances much anymore, and an equalizer also won't suddenly bring back missing sounds overtuned by whatever noise.. so, guess it's pretty useless meanwhile.

The windows setting that reads "Loudness Equalization uses understanding of the human hearing to reduce perceived volume differences"?

I use that. A recent windows update turned it off and it messed with the hunt sound big time - my footsteps and gunshots were way louder than anything else, couldn't distinguish between any non-character interaction sounds. Made everything else muffled.

it depends, if you're okay with loud gunshots and you do play with raised volume, you do not need that.
but, in theory, it might help with different pitch of footsteps of allies and enemies (see ISO-226).

My experience with this is that it is really nice for quiet sounds like footsteps, but for whatever reason ALSO makes gunshots louder.
It was fine in CSGO, but over the top in HUNT, so I turned it off.
Tested with a friend, having someone step on broken glass next to me sometimes sounds like it's in the next room, the ♥♥♥♥ are these sounds?
