Best Apex Legends audio settings

Getting better at Apex Legends isn’t just about having the right controller layout, increasing your FPS, or even fixing input lag. Your audio settings are just as important, and they need to be ideal regardless of your platform.

Having said that, we’ve put together the best Apex Legends audio settings you can use to improve the sound in your game.

Best audio settings for Apex Legends

Volume

• Master Volume: 100%
• Sound Effects Volume: 100%
• Dialogue Volume: 50%
• Music Volume: 0% – 35%
• Lobby Music Volume: 0% – 35%
• Disable Voice Chat: Off
• Convert Incoming Voice to Chat Text: Off
• Sound in Background: Off

Voice Chat

• Voice Chat Record Mode: Push to Talk
• Open Mic Record Threshold: 785
• Incoming Voice Chat Volume: 100%

Being able to hear your teammates well is also very important for teamwork. The above settings are only available on PC, as console players will be able to adjust their audio mix for voice chat in the PS/Xbox party settings.

Also, remember that a lot of players use Discord for Voice Chat, so depending on your setup, these settings may be different, especially when considering different microphone qualities.

The Open Mic Record Threshold should be set lower or at the default depending on the quality of your microphone, as some are more sensitive than others. In our experience though, it’s best to have the setting lower than the default.

How to change audio settings

1. Open settings.
2. Navigate to the Audio tab in Settings.
3. Change your audio preferences and exit the menu.

Keeping your Voice Chat Record Mode on Push to Talk is less distracting for other players if there’s background noise and feedback coming through your microphone.

Getting to know audio cues in Apex Legends is important in gaining a better understanding of what’s going on in the game. Knowing exactly what Legend’s footsteps you are hearing, what gun is being used, and the sound of each Legend’s abilities will develop your skills and make you a better player.

For these reasons, we recommend that you use headphones instead of TV/Monitor speakers, as just this change alone will help improve your audio in Apex Legends.

Your audio settings are not the only important part of being successful in Apex, as knowing what the best weapons and who the best Legends are can also aid in increasing your rank. It’s also important to make sure you have the best overall PC settings, and once you’ve got that down, you should be set.
