Hey guys (tdlr at the bottom of the post in case you don't want to read about my journey to get to the great discovery)
(I'm not asking to make the sounds better with this thread, read before you post)
I have been one of those people (like others) who have talked about not liking the sounds and wish they sounded better and were louder and that we want to be scared and shot at etc. etc.
Now there have been people who agree with this and people who say their sound is fine and think it has something to do with the persons sound card or headphones.
Now my friend just got a new Mobo and he talked about how everything sounds normally and he looked at the Realtek audio manager and looked at what Realtek said about his green port, that it was "front speaker out" (when you put your mouse over the green lit) and changed it to "headphone"
(He said there was an option but if your like me and can't find one just unplug your headphone plug and replug it in and the Realtek audio manager will let you choose options, select "headphone" and make sure it's not on "front speaker out" or anything else)
So because of my sound always being kind of low and weird I decided to check and do the same thing, after seeing it wasn't on headphone I changed it then noticed my sound a lot higher.
Went to try Red Orchestra 2, thought of a good map to try it on, went on Kriegszeit, was thinking of what weapons I wanted to try first so sitting at team selection screen, thunder goes ****en off and I literally jump in my chair, I go in game and hear the rain pouring heavily with the thunder literally making me jump while shooting my guns which are all very high sounding and actually jumping when I get shot at.
So I am now very happy with this result
and spreading here so if incase anyone else had this problem because Realtek for me liked to set it as that automatically then I hope this works for you.
tdlr: Make sure your headphones are set to "headphone" and not "front speaker out" or anything else and your gun sound should be better.
