CS:GO update 11/08/2017 - 1.36.1.3
It is finally possible to disable the new audio occlusion system using the option “Advanced 3D Audio Processing”. Valve listened to players’ complaints.
In the past month, Valve introduced a new audio occlusion system, but both casual and pro players complained about this change, asking to revert it. Their prayers have been heard as from today everyone can turn it off.
Moreover, now you can independently adjust the voice volume of each player in the match - a simple option that has been requested for years. Finally, the update implemented more fixes to Dust II, regulating also the penetration value for wood doors.
