no foot step audio

i loaded up my game after a few days of not playing and noticed that i have no footstep audio , neither mine or Ai. i did notice i could hear a few steps on like metal or wood but they would go away after walking over the object once. i didnt hear any bushes or trees and other than gun shots and my pmc talking thats the only audio i heard of my own. i could hear all the ambient sounds of like unlocking doors , pulling nade pins etc. last time i played everything was working fine and i havent changed anything since i updated to 2.3.1

i didnt change anything from my original install of 2.3.1 nor have i added or deleted any mods, i have many clips from when i had the audio a few days ago and now none.

i went and double checked all my mods and AIO was the only one with those options and neither was ever enabled

thats what it was i guess when i uped my skills the other day i must've turned em up and not noticed , thanks
