7 Key Features To Look For In Gaming Audio Software
1. Advanced Audio Controls
One of the standout features needed for any gaming situation is advanced audio controls. With these controls, you can fine-tune your audio settings to your liking. You can adjust bass, treble, and other settings to create a sound that suits your preferences. Sonar uses a pro-grade 10-band Parametric EQ (first in gaming!), allowing you to make precise adjustments to your audio settings.
2. Immersive Surround Sound
You want audio enhancement software that provides immersive 7.1 surround sound, making it easier to locate enemies and other important game elements. This feature is particularly useful for games that require spatial awareness, like FPS games.
Hear audio cues from all directions, allowing you to quickly and accurately locate enemies and other game elements. This can give you a significant advantage in games where sound plays a critical role.
3. Low Latency Audio
Low latency audio is absolutely key to ensuring minimal delay between the sound being produced and you hearing it. This feature is critical in games where timing is everything, such as rhythm games or fast-paced action games.
With Sonar, you can be confident that the audio you hear is in sync with the action on screen, giving you the precision and accuracy you need to succeed. Sonar also uses only the CPU to put no additional strain on your system.
4. Game-Specific Audio Profiles
Game-specific audio profiles that optimize the audio settings for specific games is a nice feature to have if you are frequently switching games and want to easily adapt. This feature ensures that you can enjoy the best possible audio quality for your favorite games.
This PC audio software profiles for a wide range of popular games, such as Valorant, Destiny 2 (with the preset made by Bungie!), Diablo IV (made by Blizzard), Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, and League of Legends. These profiles are optimized to provide the best possible audio experience for each game, ensuring that you don't miss a beat.
5. Intuitive User Interface
Having a user interface that makes it easy for you to customize your audio settings that aims to enhance your experience instead of hinder is often overlooked. A simple user interface that’s easy to navigate makes gaming audio optimization accessible to both experienced and novice gamers.
