Game-Specific Settings

Notes
Note: The steps and screenshots in this guide are based on PC settings, and console settings may vary slightly. While many of the recommendations apply across platforms, menu navigation and audio configuration options might differ on Xbox and PlayStation.
We are working to provide optimized settings for all systems in the future! Stay tuned for updates.
1. From the main menu, navigate to the ‘Control Panel’.

2. Select ‘Settings’.

3. Navigate to the ‘Audio’ tab.

4.
 Under ‘Volume’, set the following to 0:
  1. Music
  2. Environmental Effects
  3. Hit Detection Effects
  4. Voice’ volume can be reduced based on preference.
    1. In the campaign, enemy yelling often reveals their locations, so keeping this enabled can be advantageous.
    2. AI voices (e.g., Cortana) may activate Audio Radar’s light bars, so adjust based on personal preference.

5. Scroll to the ‘Communications’ section.
  1. Set ‘Voice Chat Mode’ to ‘Disabled’ (if you don’t need in-game chat).
  2. Lower ‘Incoming Voice Chat’ to 0.
  3. Turn off ‘Spartan Chatter’ (optional—depends on whether you want in-game callouts).
  4. Want to hear voice chat? Leave these settings on as needed.


Configure Audio Radar for Halo Infinite

Fine-Tune Sensitivity for Large-Scale Battles
💡 Strategic Tip: Halo Infinite’s large maps feature fast-moving enemies and vehicle combat. Set Audio Radar’s sensitivity to a medium level to balance distant gunfire detection with close-range awareness.

Idea
Pro Tip: Adjust Sensitivity
Use the three-zone sensitivity dials (right side of the Command Center) to fine-tune front, side, and rear sound detection for clearer directional awareness!

Too much environmental noise? Lower sensitivity slightly to reduce unwanted activations.
Not catching close-range enemy sounds? Increase sensitivity for clearer detection.

Testing & Best Practices

Enter a Custom Game:
  1. Create a custom match to test sound positioning and sensitivity adjustments before jumping into multiplayer.
Focus on Critical Sounds:
  1. Key audio cues to prioritize in Halo Infinite:
    1. Footsteps – Vital for detecting enemies nearby.
    2. Vehicle Movement – Know when Warthogs, Ghosts, or Banshees are approaching.
    3. Enemy Yelling – In campaign mode, AI enemies call out locations.
Iterate on Settings:
  1. Adjust sensitivity settings gradually based on experience.
  2. Identify if some sounds are overpowering others and adjust accordingly.
