In this article, we'll guide you through optimizing the in-game settings of Sons of The Forest for use with Audio Radar. We'll cover the preferred audio settings, step-by-step instructions for configuring Audio Radar, and tips for testing and optimizing your setup. 

Game-Specific Settings

Step 1:   
From the main menu, navigate to ‘Options.’

Step 2:

Select the 'Audio' option to enter audio settings.  
 

Step 3:

Under ‘Audio,’ set ‘Music Volume’ to 0.

Configuring Audio Radar

Adjust Sensitivity: Fine-tune this based on the in-game audio cues you need to react to, like footsteps or cannibal howls. We recommend a higher sensitivity to identify footsteps more easily.

Testing Tips

Stay quiet: The game will pick up on your own sounds, so it's important to be quieter than the things you're hiding from.

Focus on Critical Sounds: As you play, pay attention to the direction of important sounds like footsteps, and bush rustling.

Iterate on Settings: Make incremental changes to your audio settings based on your experience. Notice if certain sounds are too prominent or if others need to be more discernible.
