Performance Impact: Low (CPU)

s_volume

Master multiplier for all in-game audio output (weapons, footsteps, pickups, voice). Pros set this low (0.2–0.4) and compensate with external headphone amp or Windows volume to avoid engine clipping/distortion during overlapping loud events (quad + rockets), preserving clear positional cues and reducing ear fatigue.

💡

Pro Tip

Drop to 0.2–0.4 and boost with your headphone amp or Windows volume — this prevents clipping during quad + rocket spam while keeping footsteps crystal clear, which is the exact setup every pro uses.
