Use Audio Jack
If you usually use Bluetooth headphones or the kind of headphones that use a USB port to connect to your PC, we recommend you try using audio devices that require a 3.5mm jack to connect. If these headphones work perfectly on your PC, you will find it really easy to identify the cause of the audio issues in Call of Duty Vanguard. In the event that the 3.5mm earphones work well, it is very likely that there might be an issue with your Bluetooth or USB headphones.
However, if earphones with a 3.5mm jack too fail to work, you might need to keep reading this guide for other possible solutions.

There is a very small possibility that doing so might just about correct any audio issues that you come across when you play the game.

An out-of-date audio driver on your PC could most likely be one of the culprits behind issues with sound. We recommend that you make sure you are always using the latest audio drivers.
