Hey everyone,

​I just finished my new PC build on May 5th, but I’m having some major audio issues specifically in Valorant. I’m hoping someone here has a fix because it’s making the game unplayable.

​The Problems:

​Directional Audio: I can’t hear enemy footsteps properly. They sound muffled or "distant," and I’m often missing ultimate sound cues entirely.

​Microphone Echo: Whenever I turn my mic on in-game, it echoes. My teammates say they can hear themselves or my game audio through my mic.

​What I’ve tried/checked:

​Confirmed my headset is plugged into the correct ports.

​Checked basic Windows sound settings.

​System Specs:

​CPU: Ryzen 5 7500F

​GPU: RTX 5060

​OS: Windows 11 Pro
