Best audio settings in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta

Proper audio over everything.

While the best weapon loadouts are essential to reign supreme in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta multiplayer, having the right audio settings is equally important.

When it comes to the microphone level, everyone will have a different device so it’s best to set it according to your liking. I would suggest using the Test Microphone feature to find a sweet spot with enough audibility and less noise.

In my case, setting the Microphone Level at 5 was enough and I’m also using the Noise Removal effect in NVIDIA Broadcast software. The default input in my Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta copy is Microphone (NVIDIA Broadcast). If you have an RTX GPU, it’s better to use this feature as it helps to reduce noise significantly.

However, if you’re still stuck with a GTX graphics card, try using the NVIDIA RTX Voice app for the same effect.
