Astro MixAmp Presets for Call of Duty: MW & COD: CW 

Hi Darcy, I believe I've answered this before, but I'll answer and pin since it does come up quite a bit. You're talking about under ADVANCED SETTINGS, the xCF. Mine are 2, 2 and 1.5 What does this mean? They are called CROSSOVER FREQUENCIES. The number range lower (towards the LEFT) indicates the frequency will have a higher left side curve. A number range higher (towards the RIGHT) indicates the frequency will have a higher right side curve. This is a really precision tuning that allows you to edge out even more frequency bias on your headset, assuming the standard waveform doesn't quite do the trick. In my opinion, leaving them dead center is preferred -- some tuners or pre-sets automatically will adjust these to you, but I'd really be surprised if many heard a difference when adjusting them to either extreme. Hope this helps, Jim

@@vypermajik That's perfect mate, and thank you for the super quick reply. I'm sure a truck load of people will find this information useful.

@@vypermajik hello are you on pc everyone I see is for pc or ps4 and they don’t seem to work as well for Xbox one

Glad it helped! 👍

Excellent 😎

Yeah, definitely will help your gameplay Manny.

Hi! I didn’t change anything and it still sounds solid. I’m really glad they helped.

@@vypermajik awesome, i have a xbox series x, should i have the headset set to uncompressed and have Dolby set on the head set or should i select windows sonic, Dolby atmos, or dts x? thank you this is a game changer

Hi Alexdandro: super happy to hear it helps. It's always nice to get the most out of your investment and you'll be smashing fools in no time. :)

which one did you use? the one on the website or his modified preset?

would also like to know

I had always assumed the Hz values at the top were presets to let you know what frequency you were looking at and could not be changed. Maybe I'm wrong about this? :-/

No problem 😊

You on console or pc ? Use the optical cable helps split the audio.

Hi Liko Young, Dolby is always disabled for me. It sounds much cleaner without it enabled.

I just spent a few minutes inputting these EQ's in my Gen 4 A50. Super crisp and works a charm!

Awesome! On. It may sound a bit tinny at first but give it some time to adjust. It’s amazing depth of sound.

@@vypermajik, when you gave it off you can’t use both knobs on Mixamp, is that what I’m gathering? I’ve been searching high and low for this info but I can’t seem to find it

My pleasure!

@@vypermajik dobly atmos or no????

Hi Shawn. I don’t think so but it doesn’t hurt to try.

The actual knob? No, I haven't heard of that before. Firmware... SOMETIMES you can roll it back, never hurts to try. Most devices won't let you, but it won't brick it -- it just won't let you do it. Sorry you're having issues.

Hi Danny, I still use these settings. “If it ain’t broke..”

Hmm. I didn’t notice any differences between PS4 and PC. Basic things to check: What’s the Windows volume set at? Is the Astro set as the default output in control panel? Relaunch Astro command center to verify you’re using the correct EQ presets?

@@vypermajik isn’t this just a link to this video lol

@@vipespcxbox6012 he didn’t watch the vid

If you’re using a MixAmp plugged into the console, the EQs are saved on the MixAmp. So any device you use will allow the EQs to be utilized. Did that answer your question or did I miss something?

For anyone wanting to know this question in the future an Astro rep. on reddit did confirm as long as you are using the optical cable your custom EQs do indeed work via the ACC on Playstation 5.

Hello HeyoCro - So the A40 holds 4 presets. One of the default ones was “TOURNAMENT” which I never used. So that’s why you see that. I have other presets I have downloaded and tested, some from the website ZEFERENCE and some from others. For COD specifically I really recommend what I showed here, but there are many other EQ presets out there (from Astro and elsewhere). Hope that clarifies :)

@@vypermajik it does. Thank you!

@Manny Nieto don’t use these settings anymore. It’s not that great in my opinion

Star mode on the mixamp. If you have dolby available on your console, you can turn it on there. If you have both turned on it will process twice and will sound off

@@StreetDemon96 Agreed!

Second this

Yeah any version of the game. Ps5, PC, Xbox

@@vypermajik i just bought the a40s... you think they are trash? should i return them ?? and do you use it on ps5?

That’s them

If you're using the MixAmp, turn the knob. If you're on PlayStation 5, there is a toggle for audio between game and voice chat.

Check cables, try headset without MixAmp, then try different headphones in MixAmp to diagnose where issue is.

@@vypermajik sorry for the late response. I've tried all of these except trying a different headset. I had a power outage while using my headset recently do you think they might have gotten damaged? Edit: I just tried it with a different headset and cord I got the same results I'm guessing it may be the game or my xbox

@@slavicdoge4427 I have the same problem

Maybe you have the headsets on the wrong way lmao

@@needys2950 I fixed it

Not with these pre sets no.

@@vypermajik thanks, and boost low for the warzone in game settings right?

Hi Sean, Are you using the updated firmware and a USB-only connection?

@@vypermajik I am using the updated firmware and usb on the front of my series x I'll try the back usb ports if that is the issue, other than that can't think of anything else

I have the a40 tr's with the mixamp and I have the same issue, dolby doesn't work but more importantly my EQ's don't work. I updated the firmware and use the USB only connection with my Series X

@@thunder_season1911 yea thats the issue, no sound difference from any other the preset eq switching on the a50 or a40s. Btw just read that text and I thought you were sendin me a kiss at the end of it after you mentioned the Xbox series x. Lol

@@SeanySimpsony Lmao gotta love how microsoft names their consoles. Update, I was just switching through my 4 preset eq's while at the main menu listening to music and I could tell the difference between them all. I then loaded up cold war and couldn't tell the difference again. So I'm either losing my mind or Cold War is fucked up.

Sure, what can I help with?

I'd consider dropping off the in-game music to hear the game better, but no... that's up to you/your personal preferences.

@@vypermajik wow the footsteps are clear, great work mate

MW settings are the same . . . Boost High! yes.

yes boost low is the best one and if you play warzone then legacy mode is better. cold war is dynamic

CW: Treyarch Mix MW/WZ: Boost High Good luck :)

@@vypermajik appreciate the help. Your video was very clear and concise. Just one last question, what column would you suggest adjusting to reduce the tinny/high pitched level. Sometimes it gets over powering and actually makes it difficult to play for longer periods. I’m just unsure which one to reduce or increase and with the hz levels should I adjust these or keep them as is and move the column level.

Do you mean Atmos on Xbox? As in, the add-on?

@@vypermajik I mean the atmos on PC, along with the button for either Dolby Atmos or standard EQ on the headset if that makes sense.

Yes, they should support the A50s as well.

microsoft store

Forget what I said at the start, I see the numbers at the bottom, For whatever reason youtube had my quality set to 380p on my phone so couldn't tell what any of the numbers 😅.

Only other thing I need from this is the xCF frequencies(3 on the bottom) A link(Screenshot is fine)to your favorite personal one for footsteps games, Also not a fan of the weird sounds by explosions and stuff

Yes, the settings are done on the MixAmp.

I disable Dolby Surround sound.

YES!

@@vypermajik ok thanks. Didn't know if tempest 3d audio was good or nah.

where i can turn off this 3d audio? u mean dolby?

I always DISABLE Dolby Surround Sound toggle on my MixAmp.

Okay, ask and you shall receive. I’ll work on this soon. :)

@@vypermajikI think what would be helpful is your in-game audio settings (e.g., boost high/low, etc.); the bandwidth xCF values; if you use surround sound; volume level you play with your astros and whatever else! I, along with thousands of other people appreciate you doing this! definitely got my sub and like on this vid! Keep up the good work, much appreciated from the community!

Mauron, yes, I do. Optical from SoundBlaster Z to MixAmp.

It’s literally on the screen. Like, visually. I’m seeing it. Half of the video is that exact information on the screen. Hz levels - for Astro - is fixed. They can’t be changed. So the ones you see are identical to all Astro products.

Hi, I'm very confused. What's the bandwidth of what? Do you mean what's the best waveform? Or are you talking about a specific frequency?

@@vypermajik bandwidth for your call of duty coke war best Astro settings. It was posted 3 months ago u never listed ur bandwidth for preset 2

@@vypermajik it is in advanced settings of the EQ

I've heard yes and no. I don't have a 120 Hz TV to verify this but I've read it DOES work at 120 Hz, just only at 1080P.

I use the splitter and on my monitor it works at 120 fps

@@zackabt2277 Thats great! Thank bro

@@vypermajik I can confirm just got the Astro admi adapter for ps5 and it shows 1080p 120hz on my monitor

@@MrJohnnyt123 you don’t need that if you have tv you can do 4K 120fps without sacrifice resolution oh color format

;)

Same here, I tried on google and on reddit, but I found nothing at all 😑

Where were u able to find that extra optical at?

@@chavapenaloza9628 amazon it cost an arm and a leg but its worth it check it out audioquest hdmi coffee cable

@@frizzbee416 is it a hdmi or optical?

@@chavapenaloza9628 oops optical typo 😅

how much is the cable ?

For me: I use BOOST HIGH. It makes the highs even louder (foot steps)

I recommend off. It didn’t seem to help much.

Off.

I leave it on (MixAmp).
