Best THX spatial audio settings blackshark v2 fortnite?
Hey everyone! Around six months ago, I made the decision to purchase and use the Razer Blackshark v2 as my headset for my new pc. I've mainly played fortnite in the time since buying the headset/pc as it's my main game but have also played some warzone and a few other games. A consistent issue with me especially for fortnite is that I simply am never able to hear proper footsteps/pin point any locations which often leads to me not hearing enemies positions properly and sometimes not even able to pinpoint gunshot locations. About a week ago, I was looking through all my different settings to finally try to figure out what the issue was, it turns out my THX spatial audio wasn't even on and my THX spatial audio headset option was disabled. Since then, I've obviously turned THX spatial audio on, I have my main output device on Windows 10 the THX spatial audio, I made a profile on Razer Synapse which I then switched to manually setting custom modes for each application (I'm just working on fortnite settings currently) and I plan on making profiles to also attach to warzone and other games I play eventually as well. The only other thing I've done since turning THX spatial audio on was to immediately turn bass boost on to the max of 100 for my fortnite profile since I believed that would help with the issue of not hearing footsteps properly/not having the pinpoint location surround sound that according to all the experts is the best in its gaming class. However, that wasn't the case and once I did that everything just begun sounding much deeper and my friends voices also sounded much deeper, the footsteps/surround sound was still arguably the same issue just a much deeper sound. So I'm wondering if there's anyone who would happen to know the best possible enhancements/EQ settings for fortnite in Razer Synapse I can try? I certainly feel as though I should turn the bass boost down a fair bit, but how much should I turn it down? Should I maybe even turn it off? I also use the in game fortnite chat with my friends as well, so with that in mind I'm wondering especially about the voice clarity option if that should be on as well as the sound normalization option, as I'm not entirely sure how those options can help me? I have also not purchased the $20 THX spatial audio software directly from their website as I have read that I don't have to buy it because my Blackshark v2 should already fully have access to the THX spatial audio software. I would be happy to buy it though if that will help my audio in any way? Also, would anyone happen to have any general tips on using the THX spatial audio program if it's recommended I buy it as well as Razer Synapse together? I'm simply looking to make up for lost time with this great headset, and appreciate any and all advice/responses! Cheers and thank you!
