To find Steam audio settings, open your Steam client and go to the top left corner to click on 'Steam' > 'Settings' (or 'Preferences' on a Mac). From there, navigate to the 'Voice' tab to access and adjust your voice chat and transmit settings. For game-specific audio settings, you'll need to adjust those within the game's own menu, as Steam doesn't control individual game audio settings directly.
