s_khz
Internal audio mixing sample rate in kHz. 44kHz provides crisper positional audio and better spatial accuracy for footsteps and weapon sounds; 22kHz is the classic Q3 default with slightly muddier high frequencies.
💡
Pro Tip
Set to 44kHz — footsteps, rail charges, and weapon switches become dramatically clearer and more directional, giving you a massive edge in sound-based tracking.
