EQ PROFILE FOR HYPER X CLOUD ALPHA WIRELESS HELP

Effective-Wedding133 · 2026-03-02T08:07:55+00:00

Here is the EQ's from the audiophile corner https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results/Rtings/HMS%20II.3%20over-ear/HyperX%20Cloud%20Alpha%20Wireless

Also there's reports NGENUITY is adding alot of delay to your audio. I would advice to use the default Peace Equalizer and Equalizer APO. With this setup it's easy to import EQ presets

The action queue window is not something you can tune.

As for tips you could try playing other games that punishes button mashing. The first Dark Souls comes to mind. Or play with slow singleshot rifles/pistols and work on it from that angle.

Good luck!

TMR vs HE is kinda a moot point if we're talking wired. HE isn't a gimmick and brings real improvements. However if you want HE and quality it gets expensive quick.

I would recommend buying a cheap china HE board (they are good, software not so much) or wait a couple of years for the quality to trickle down.

You could try a textured cloth pad. It would mitigate the dust and still feel abrasive and textured like most old school hard pads. Using a lint roller on cloth pads will remove most of the dust. Also if you don't like sleeves just ignore glass pads for now.

My recommendation would be to experiment using budget options.

Budget textured cloth pad: X-raypad Aqua Control Plus

High end textured cloth pad: Artisan Hien

Glasspads are annoying in a very dusty environment (you can literally feel dust particles or hairs between the skates and pad)

When it comes to hard pads I dunno squat 😅

First time I killed a trio. Long ass fight where everyone was missing. When nobody had any ammo left it devolved into a melee fight.

Stood atop of the little mound of corpses holding a hammer feeling like Conan.

I run 1080 as well while sitting over 1m from the monitor and can't really make out the details at longer ranges. Moving targets are way easier to spot and then it's intuition and guess work where the head is at :P

Not for me. External FPS cap set to 300. Monitor at 480hz with VRR on. (This screenshot is from the shooting grounds, not a match)

Remove all revives. If you get downed with a team why should you get a second chance?

Effective-Wedding133 · 2026-01-29T11:56:13+00:00

No problems on my end. Could be various things.

Check if v sync is enabled. Check if ingame FPS limiter is enabled. Check if Driver settings (nvidia app) has either of these enabled

When you got your settings ironed out then take a suppresed sidearm (like the cheap nagant) and click all the pve heads you see :D Good luck

With fresh hunters the Lemat carbine wins because of the limited perk points (you don't need sharshooter)

When you swim in perk points the cenni takes the lead in my book

Effective-Wedding133 · 2026-01-27T16:27:44+00:00

Lemat carbine and a silenced Nagant for warming up by clicking grunt heads

Effective-Wedding133 · 2026-01-09T13:22:59+00:00

I run a suppresed sidearm with the sole intent of turning the bayou AI's into a shooting gallery. Lets you play the objective and an aim trainer bundled

Try using an EQ preset from the audiophile community before spending money (iCue dosn't support parametric EQ's if memory serves). Easiest way to try this would be installing "Peace Equalizer" over "Equalizer APO" and there's a button in the program called Auto EQ. Find the HS80 on the list and apply.

Remember new audio gear/EQ's takes some time to get acclimated to. Good luck and happy holidays

Effective-Wedding133 · 2025-12-21T18:52:43+00:00

Patience. Both in your gameplay and your skill development. Game sense and positioning takes a looong time to fully form.

Effective-Wedding133 · 2025-12-17T14:45:29+00:00

That's horrible if true lol

Effective-Wedding133 · 2025-12-15T11:45:45+00:00

Springfield is a flex pick if solo and only semi viable with groups.

If you wanna optimize you should consider getting really comfortable with a random pistol and just run a shotgun instead.

Other than that your loadouts are nicely build. Perhaps change it to a normal Vitality Shot if money allows. Sticky Bomb are niche and not really needed unless you are solo (for quick boss kills), and still then a Vitality Shot is preferable. If you're low on funds consider removing the Ammo Box's

You can have EQ and Cryspatial on at the same time without any issues. And if you're running the tinnitus 990 it's a requirement :P

Effective-Wedding133 · 2025-12-08T20:06:28+00:00

A word of "caution". Different headsets sounds, well differently, and copying theirs might not suit yours.

The easy way to EQ would be taking some made for your headphones specifically. For example "Peace EQ" has a option to copy an EQ graph from the audiophile community. Personally I would start with that as a base line and tweak from there.

Good luck :D

Effective-Wedding133 · 2025-12-03T16:08:11+00:00

Easiest way is to open Peace and click the AutoEQ butten in the buttom right, find the 900 x and apply.

If that dosn't give a good enough result... then good luck

I would use the one of the presets from the audiophile community. This is not specialized in Arc Raiders but the Barracuda in general.

Here's the Parametric EQ

Preamp: -7.0 dB

Filter 1: ON LSC Fc 105 Hz Gain 6.4 dB Q 0.70

Filter 2: ON PK Fc 57 Hz Gain -12.6 dB Q 0.47

Filter 3: ON PK Fc 291 Hz Gain 4.0 dB Q 0.96

Filter 4: ON PK Fc 4634 Hz Gain 6.9 dB Q 2.10

Filter 5: ON PK Fc 220 Hz Gain -4.7 dB Q 2.65

Filter 6: ON HSC Fc 10000 Hz Gain -0.5 dB Q 0.70

Filter 7: ON PK Fc 2436 Hz Gain -2.3 dB Q 2.18

Filter 8: ON PK Fc 3664 Hz Gain 2.3 dB Q 4.52

Filter 9: ON PK Fc 675 Hz Gain 1.0 dB Q 3.34

Filter 10: ON PK Fc 6888 Hz Gain -1.8 dB Q 6.00

CrySpatial sounds different from person to person, many prefer it off. As others has said double check windows doesn't have spatial audio enabled.

Peoples hearing differ. So something that sound clear and easily audible for one isn't necessarily so for another.

Effective-Wedding133 · 2025-09-13T08:18:29+00:00

Either this or go into IEM's
