1] Make sure your sound settings are correct

Your system’s sound settings might be unoptimized or incorrect which is why you are facing audio issues in Warzone.

• Once done, move to the Recording tab, choose the active microphone, and click on the Set Default button.
• After that, if there are too many unused devices, disable them. Right-click on a device and choose the Disable option from the appeared context menu.
• Finally, open Warzone and check if the problem is resolved.

2] Check your headset or speaker

The next thing you should do is check if your headset or speaker and make sure it is not physically damaged or in proper working condition. Also, try plugging it into a different USB port and see if it works or not. The volume of your headset should also be set high.

3] Check Warzone’s in-game audio settings
