AUDIO IMPROVED AFTER OPTIMIZING CONNECTION

[Greg_lino]

Guys who play COD/WZ, I made some configurations that drastically improved my audio. Maybe this will also help those who are experiencing bad audio.

I couldn’t hear anything—an enemy could be dancing right next to me, and I wouldn’t hear a thing. Rarely, when the server was stable and the game was running smoothly, I could hear well! But that was rare—out of 10 days, only one day would have 4 or 5 matches like that.

That’s when I realized the audio isn’t processed locally on my PC. The enemy audio comes from the server. That’s how I managed to fix my problem:

First, I put my PC in DMZ (I believe manually opening the ports would have the same effect). Then, I completely disabled the Windows Firewall—not just through the normal method, but by disabling it 100% via Regedit, because using the standard method, Windows still keeps the firewall running in the background.

I believe this happens because, even when “disabled,” the firewall still blocks or delays some audio packets, preventing the game from playing them properly. Something like that must be happening.

It could be a placebo effect, or maybe I just got lucky with a good server, as I mentioned earlier. But I played all day, across different modes, servers, and locations, and the audio remained perfect.

I hope this helps someone else who’s struggling with the same issue!

i will try this when i get home from work. 

 

cause i tell my boys all the time that this game has the most "dynamic" ninja perk in cod history. people without ninja can literally full sprint behind me and  NOT be heard and i would be like  WTF?    this does sound like it could be a placebo, but i also have Art of war sound stuff and i  suffer from this  in MP.  so we will see in a few hours

Very bad idea! 

Putting your PC in DMZ or opening the firewall exposes you totally!

It’s definitely a bad idea from a security perspective. But apparently, it solved the game’s audio problem.

Yeah I really wouldn't suggest doing this, huge security problem, your PC is basically completely open/visible to the internet. People/bots scan the internet frequently looking for open networks they can exploit, if you want to risk your data and whatever else for better audio in the game then you're braver than me. I would highly suggest port forwarding instead.

if you only use your PC for gaming, nothing else, its a good idea, but, BUT if you use it for banking transaction, social media or something else, you will probably get some probleme.... its my two cents

PC exclusively for gaming! Or better yet, a PC exclusively for Warzone rsrs (what a frustrating game).

But anyway, I’m going with the port forwarding method. If it works just as well, I’ll stick with it.
