it's probably that the HP app already uses ALT+S as the key combo to open the sytem information, so try changing the key combo in Moments to something else so it doesn't conflict
HOW we can fix the error?
i clicked ctrl z and it turned my pc off nad said this
HELLO
I'm sure im dogpiling, but years of no problems and ran into this today. Forgot how much my audio was clapped without sonar EQ
@round holly How about giving some helpful support by letting everyone know to uninstall and reinstall that has been the fix for everyone rather then spamming a link to a dead end article page?
I'd much rather wait for a patch than to re tune my EQ sadly lmfao
How am I supposed to give tips that I don't know about?
I don't work here, nor am I support
I understand, but all day everyone in the chat has said a reinstall is the only fix at the moment.
I haven't seen that obviously :D
@next finch If you have saved your EQ on your profile when you log back in it will be there.
Hello everyone, I would like to know how to properly adjust the sound to hear enemies coming from the right and left on Cal of duty

Hey I just got a steelseries rival 3 wireless. I went into the settings and changed the 2 side buttons to shift and control but it seems like they still work as forward and back only. Any tips on how to fix that?
The Sonar for the steelseries app gave me this error 3762504530. Is there a simple quick fix
Website just says i need immediate assistance and this happened after it auto updated
Wanna know if anyone else has had trouble since the new update?

Does anyone know how to disable microphone monitoring without Sonar, since Sonar is broken right now?

I'm gonna try installing an older version
Does anyone know how to change the master slider using a volume knob? My volume knob controls the game slider instead

I didn't search anything

my apex pro tkl is disconnecting and reconnecting randomly and numbers 1-9 sometimes turn green in like a order how do i fix it? i spent 260 on this keyboard just for it to be worse than 90% of the keyboards ive had
All who have the fatal error at Sonar after the "precious" update yesterday : uninstalling the app, new downloading it from steelseries homepage and reinstalling it fixed the issue for me. started pc new after uninstalling and reinstalled right away. now it´s working again. unfortunately all settings had to be made again.
I can't get the actual sonar part to start though so I can't turn off mic monitoring
link?
GG helps create better connections with your gear, your people and your game through apps like Sonar, Engine, Moments and 3D Aim Trainer.
why does it keep showing the installer is already running?
restart your pc or force down all gg-apps running with the task manager
I've done this but now when I launch GG it instantly crashes
well it worked but dam everything reseted 😭
does anybody else have an issue with sonar not having the mic test button?
bro i can here my mic through my headset when I rub my finger across it but it wont be picked up from any applications I have ran through all the test anybody have a fix?
i hate how my mixer all reseted everything
I also don't have a quickset either
Hello everyone, does anyone know how to set up an equalizer for Pubg mobile?
Anyone know if steel series has or plans to make a low profile keyboard? Looking to leave Logitech and the g915 tkl behind
Anyone having an issue with Sonar software's Device manager no longer auto-switching to speakers if the headset is turned off? Up until yesterday it worked great for me but suddenly now it refuses to auto-switch unless I completely remove the reciever from the computer.
when i screenshare my friends hear themselves, how do i fix this?
anyone can help? i buy the arctis 1 wireless. But the microphone doesnt work
anyone know why my arctic nova pro always are recognized as a new headphone each time i shut my pc off and on again? Like on the GG software it says that my arctis headphones are assigned to everything, but i hear no sound even tho the little device that came with shows that something is played, i gotta unplug it then, plug it back and assign the headphone again on sonar, but it gets a number bigger. Like i have "2. Arctis Nova pro", "3. Arctis Nova Pro" and a "4. Arctis Nova Pro" all in the built in device manager in the sonar thing in GG software. Now if i unplug the cables like i said, plug them in again, then there will be a "5. Arctis Nova Pro" i can select, and then my sound is working again, but i dont wanna do that everytime i turn my pc on
hello! my discord chat audio thru sonar sound muffled and sometimes goes left and right.. anyone has a fix for this?
Does it work correctly if you plug your headset without the dac? Had a similar issue and the dac was the cause for me
Didnt try yet, but i would really like to fix it without having to remove it, it looks pretty cool i mean
Ye gotta isolate where the issue is first, for me such issue persisted on 2 separate machines with and without sonar
Once no option was left they provided me with a new dac and now ive got no issues with repluging after reboot
Hello all.
I have the Arctis Pro wireless headphones and they just randomly keep turning off..
Anyone experienced this?
Why is my artics 9s discornnecting and reconecting?
Hello, I have an Artic Nova 9 Xbox but I want to use it on my computer. I can connect it to the computer but there is a problem with the microphone, it does not detect the input sound.
attempted to reinstall gg and sonar is still not working
Getting a start up error, code 3762504530, anyone else experienced this and know how to fix it?
Everyone has experienced it
Reinstall 0.82, i need to try and find the download for it but it isn't online
Not everyone, thankfully
Seems like it so far sadly, everyone i know using it woke up to this error lol
You can use the URL it gives you when downloading the current version and change it to any you want
Well not me thankfully 😅
So how would i go to changing the URL?
As it states latest, what would i replace that with my good sir?
Got it, if i'm allowed to post links i can send it
Sure
maybe someone know why my moment didnt work?
so i got a new arctic 5 headset and my mic is not quite working

hi so ive been having difficulties with my clipping software (stellseries.gg) and i was wonder if yall could help.
so the problem is that the clips wont clip when im in the game tab but when i go to desktop itll clip fine. its really weird
and its not set to clip desktop or anything other than my game. Ive tried reinstalling it and that didnt seem to fix it. i changed the folder the clips go to just incase that was the problem, changed binds and all that kinda stuff. Its so weird. The only thing i havent tried is uninstalling my game but, honestly, i really dont wanna do that.
Help. I bought a new headset, a audiophile one. When ever I plug it into my game dac, it gets recognized as my novo pro. When ever I plug my new headset into my pc, it gets recognized as the right headset. Plz help
I have an Apex 7 keyboard, and after a SteelSeries GG update, the System Monitor app seems to have disappeared. Is there any way to get it back?
I have the Arctis Nova(wired) and the gaming DAC is not connecting to my gaming laptop anymore and I don't know why? Every time i connect it to my laptop it will turn on for like a second then turn off and stay like that not responding to anything. What do I do?
someone help me?
ME TOO
cause in amazon 4x the price with shipping but on steelseries site normal price
You want to use your keyboard volume scroll for sonar master?
Normally it wont work but you can use a script to change your keyboards volume wheel to send a different input and bind it in sonar
I thought about doing this but i dont know what i should bind it too
I found out that f keys exist from 1-24 and only first 12 are aperantly binded to commands in windows
So in my case volume up and down i binded to f13 and f14 respectively
thats pretty nice as it wont interfere with anything on my pc atleast
oh great idea, cheers
Is anyone having issues with captures? I have F1 as my hot key to capture my clips but since it updated it’s stopped working. I’ve even uninstalled and reinstalled and it still won’t work 
Hi.. I have a arctis gamebuds but when i activate ANC the sound always break down and distord... How can i solve this?
Anyone else having this issue?

English only please and please describe the issue more.
audio just evaporated. went to grab a snack then came back to no audio. any tips?

could be many reasons and without any additional info its hard to help
dude i wish i had more info. i was away for 5 minutes then boom no noise at all
i mean your headset model, sound settings or something from your pc
so could it maybe disconect perhaps what about windows sound settings did it change itself
no no change. and ive unplugged and plugged the little connecter 2 times
@fierce shuttle idk how i fixed it just turned my headphone on and off and disconected the connection thing

Hi guys, just got arctic nova 5x, trying to setup sonar but it says check my device status, and for whatever reason my mic doesnt work even if sonar is off(i do a mic test in windows and it doesnt work at all) while the headphones work just fine
the mic mute button isint pressed on on the headset right?
can you give us some screenshots?
also are you conected with the dongle?, ive heard theres some kind of switch on it
should be switched to usb mode
i disconnected dongle didnt change anything, when i connected it for updates it even added a second connection like regural headphones (arctic 5x) and after dongle connected additional headphones 2 - (arctic 5x)
Hello, requesting aid for this issue
well sonar has no devices selected inside it
so those channels wont do anything
what options you got in sonar when selecting a device in a channel?
so here you selected the headset?
just did that still same thing pops up
hey i need help wenn i starte it erocode 3762504530
can you manualy select it for each channel?
also should be like this, I mean different names
I did manual selection same story
not too sure about that model rly
is there anyone you know I can console about this
would prob need someone who also has a wireless model to help
i got a wired version so not too sure about the slight differences when configuring a wireless one
you could make a post and hope someone with knowledge on this helps worst case contact official support
does official support take a long time to respond?
also are you even able to select your speakers/realtek in sonar?
I can
and those work but the headset doesint?
should I change the output in windows?
usually they respond on same day, even multiple times if youre fast on your responses
no in windows it should be set to sonar gaming
I switched same red thingy pops up
did you switch in sonar or in the device manager only
device manager
device manager is more of a auto switch when one device goes offline
what about switching in sonar itself where i showed my pic above before
mind screensharing it ? havent seen this issue pop for others
sure
if i plug the headset directly into the pc it still doesnt work. The little device clearly shows tho that sound is being played, it just doesnt get to the headphones
also is the wire connected correctly in your headset? both ends are different btw
straight end goes into the headset and the angled one to the dac/pc
guys im fr about to crash out with these arctis novas 1p i ordered an audio jack splitter it was working fine for a bit then i decided to edit my steelseries gg sonar app settings and now i can hear echos in everything
my wires are in the correct place
Hey guys. I've just installed Sonar, and whenever I change from wireless to wired, I get no audio. Nothing. The wires are all correct, have I just done something wrong within Sonar? Baffling software
Using the Arctis Nova 7 wireless
i removed my splitter put my 5mm jack into audio and it works used my splitter only in audio it works just the mic causing isues
nvm found my problem wasnt my splitter but instead sonar
my steelseries sonar aint working, i get this error message. What do i do?

does moments works on windows 10?
Yes, that's where I use it :)
Why it doesnt work
You're gonna need to be more specific :D
A good first step is running the GG installer again without uninstalling first
But I gotta get back to work :)
steelseriesgg doesnt open
i followed a lot of videos of fixing it but i cant still open it
i have used a lot of methods like uninstall and install it again,giving permission, start it with administrative compatibility
hi guys... I have the Aerox 3 Wireless mouse. I am trying to update the firmware and its asking that i connect the extension adapter to my dongle but I have lost the adapter. Is there a work around?
I do have the dongle though.
i think it should allow you to continue if the dongle is plugged into any USB port
Thank you! I will give it a try.
pls help why mi left windows is light by white color but full keyboard is ligft by another color
My heaphones stop playing sound whenever i watch a video, works fine with spotify and games
how to torn off the Lock key color?
GUYS,
basically when i stream my screen on discord its double audio because of steel series mic
PLEASE HELP ME
why is steelseries gg so bad?
everytime i turn off the headset it doesnt give me sound when i turn it back on even though all the settings havent been changed what sort of product is this im glad i didnt pay 200 quid for this honestly its awful sorry for the rant its been going on for months
probably because steelseries gg is the worst audio app known to man the support here is shocking too will never buy anything steelseries again when i couldve got a better mic for half its price
check the order of your headset fallback in the device manager
SteelSeries Sonar has “Device Fallback” that will automatically switch the outputs on Sonar.
Fallback can be triggered when a device is unavailable (such as when booting your PC or unplugging a device), or it can switch outputs if it detects if a Nova headset is turned off, and automatically switch to speakers.
This fallback functionality can be adjusted or turned off by going into the settings in Sonar. Simply click on your devices in the Mixer and open the Device Manager in Sonar.
You can also adjust the order in which devices fall back to. This can be adjusted in the same Device Manager menu. Simply drag and drop to set the order of devices.
so i just got the apex pro tkl gen 3 and when setting it up with lighting 2 of my keys are different and wont allow me to change them which are the ~# |\ on a uk layout keyboard
make sure the layout in engine is set to the right one
Ok i will next when I'm home
so i fixed this somehow (i dont know how i just downloaded the gg app and it eventually fixed itself) and now my mic isnt picking up anything. How do i fix it
I have the problem that I can't open it what can I do
i know this might be a stupid one but when ever i load my pc up my keyboard goes to a different Profile rather then my default one so i need to open steelseries to get it to do the one i need also yes i have put the config to the one i want to use
is your config one of the onboard configs? if not then i'd drag it into the first slot of the onboard configs so it loads first
yes its where your config 1 is and its renamed to default
what config gets loaded instead when you start?
a random one i havent done any to the others so i dont know
but i know since my rgb is a different colour to the default one
what keyboard do you have?
the apex tkl gen 3 white
the newer keyboards don't have onboard lighting, so you need GG open for any lighting customizations to work. things like actuation/bindings do save onboard, so it's possible that the right config is active, but the lighting isn't.
oh ok you would have thought they would?

oh well thank you
idk why it was removed, the original gen 1 keyboards had it
Anyone?
the gamedac uses an analog 3.5mm connection so it's not going to know what's plugged into it. it's just gonna show as a nova pro no matter what. it shouldn't affect what options are available in engine/sonar
When I go into my sound settings, it shows my headset as novo pro also. My new headset has better quality, and it gets taken away with the game dac
i'm not sure why it'd be a lower quality, assuming you tested all the regular things like making sure you're plugged into the side port, and that you have the same EQ applied on the DAC as you do through your PC
I think bc it thinks it’s my novo pro
well, does your nova pro sound OK if you unplug the other headset from the side headphone port and plug in your novas?
Yes. My new headset is a audiophile
what makes your new headphones audiophile grade?
It’s a mmx 330 pro
ok? but what about them makes them audiophile? I looked it up and they have nearly identical specs to the nova pro, the only difference is them being open back
I don't mean to sound sassy with this, but i'm trying to understand what you're looking for with your audio setup
When I’m in my settings, the sound quality settings are different. My 330 pro is way higher, and makes my games sound a lot better
what settings are you looking at? can you send a screenshot?
I will when I’m home
is there a way to recover a clip i just accidently deleted?
I have a question and don’t know where to ask it, but since the new Gen 3 Apex TKL has foam in the keycaps, if I buy the separate keycaps, do they have foam or not? The older versions didn’t have they done like a silent upgrade or is there no foam?
the keycaps on the site don't have foam, but the foam is just there for acoustics/feel, so having keycaps without it shouldn't affect performance
like, I use the prismcaps on my apex pro, and it's totally fine
Could anyone help me with Steelseries Rival 3 Wireless, when on 2.4ghz mode it's blinking Pink/Purple, anyone know a fix?
I've tried Left/Right mouse click with DPI and other things, nothing works.
i know that i like the feel of the new ones with foam in and dont really want to add it myself but i guess i will have too
contact #official-support , they have a tool they can provide to recover the mouse
thats what it comes up with on my rgb settings
i have it set to uk english
did you just set it to UK or was it already set to UK?
yes
??? which one???
Yes, but i dont have the receipt anymore - i don't know if they'll check it.
they don't need a receipt for troubleshooting
and it was already set to that
and just to be sure - your physical keyboard is the same layout? with the big enter key?
yes
all the firmware is up to date?
have you power cycled the keyboard recently? sometimes after an update it might need to be unplugged/replugged to update some settings.
yes i have my pc shut off for a couple hours and come back and its still the same
i can fully unplug it if it needs
is anyone having issues with manually capturing clips with marvel rivals? I tested it on other games and it works fine but for some reason it wont allow me to clip marvel rivals and it used to let me before the update.
Anyone know of a way to downgrade to the previous firmware of the Apex M800 keyboard? I have issues where the keys just stop responding. I narrowed it down to the keyboard itself.
I have to unplug and plug in again for it to start working
Tried different USB ports and USB chipsets and controllers and even other systems..
The lighting effects stay working at all times when this happens. I have a key fade plus an idle timer. When they key presses stop responding in windows, the key illumination still happens even the fade when I press buttons on the keyboard.
Sometimes, if I'm hitting the right arrow to skip ahead in a YT video when it goes to freeze, it'll act like I'm holding that key down until I unplug and plug it back in
Hey I had my mic working earlier but now it won’t register I hear everything though

Hello. I just bought the Arctis Nova 7X White and been trying to get it to work. So far, I can only get audio via the audio jack but can't get it to work wirelessly.
In the playback settings the sonar options shows up but when I go to GG's sonar page, they don't show up.
I tried reinstalling several times, tried deleting old drivers that could've been interfering
how is the headset connected to the PC? the dongle should be plugged in and the light should be on
I tried connecting the dongle to a sub USB port first (have a bit of a lack of USB ports), but later tried putting it in from the back of my CPU and it's still not coming on.
Something must've gone wrong as I was trying to make this work and now the headset's light is set to how you see it when it's charging. Bluetooth button and power button basically became unresponsive too. 😦
hii i just bought the steelseries alias microphone everything is good but i can hear my self via the microphone how can i turn that off????

after a pc reboot it gave the error again

There's info from support on how to fix
@tulip oriole you've got a laptop right ?
Desktop

My keyboard works perfect until im at a lan party at a friends place it might have something to do with using hotspot from my phone
Wired or wireless keyboard ?
If it's a wireless connection, try a wired hotspot from your phone to your PC. That will rule out this problem already.
i Bought a Apex pro 60% and tried just about everything to fix it where can i get these drivers from? they wont install from my pc directly, does anyone have a link?

Hello my app steelseries gg is not opening
I'm sorry I have no ideas ^^' Try AI maybe
I have a strange issue with clipping games, when I'm trying to clip something like Genshin specifically, it won't recognize the key i use (INS) if I'm tabbed on, or gg is the focus.
So u have to switch window to anything else for it to work.
Anyone know any solutions?
i just got the aerox 9 wireless and im struggling on how to get it to work with audio visualiser
the last update of steelseries gg literally give me icks buying another steelseries product.
the software literally does nothing what it should do.
I want the soundbar to be the main audio source, as long as the headset is not turned on.
now it doesnt switch AT ALL - what am I doing wrong?
it literally worked better when they had (BETA) written on it
unlink them and turn off device switch
how do i also stop my mouse changign to pink when clicking or lights turing off when movin g
should be something in the mouse config called Power Saver or "Turn of RBG" and turn off reactive lighting in the RGB when an input is registered
i put backup device switch on manual (didnt work obviously) and turned it on auto again, still doesnt work
automatic backup device whatever at boot thing?
thank you have you got any ideas about teh audio visuliser for it
also turned it off yes
Audio visualizer will on the aerox mice typically is kinda broken in my experience, it just flashes all the light in the same color but idk nowadays
yeah for me it only registers the VU colour LO
is there a way to downgrade or disable auto updates on this stupid software?
in this screenshot you have the second option on the bottom turned off. that should be on

hey! somebody else hadt isuse with theire Artics pro wireles that the mic is somehow permanently muted? and if so anybody know a fix for it?
my sonar is not loading anyone knows why?
the device even shows that on L and R something is played, and i now reinstalled the software but it still doesnt work
windows also lists every sonar thing as its own headset
i swear why cant this thing just work like any other f*cking headset
hello can you tell me the best sound settings for pubg
or send me a picture
you don't need sonar for the headset to work. a good test to narrow down hardware vs software issues is to turn off sonar and just set windows to output directly to the headset and see how it goes.
can i ask how you turn sonar of?
under settings > general
Thanks!
Sonar. Engine, and the Arctis Companion App all come preloaded with many EQs and sound settings for your favorite games. We encourage trying out these preset EQs, and tweaking them from there to get the audio that's best for you!
Additionally, you can check out #1209138827571232819 for additional community made Sonar configs for use on PC games!
Please keep in mind that everyone's ears and audio preferences are different, so one EQ that's great for one person may not be perfect for you. We encourage some experimentation and tweaking to get your perfect audio. Be sure to check out the link below for more info on how EQs in Sonar work!

Hi, im new to the steelseries sonar software and when I play valorant and put it on the gamming channel, I don't hear anything. I switched to gamming channel in valorant and on windows 11 settings. I can only hear it when I move valorant to the media channel. Am i doing anything wrong?
Makes sense since the chatmix is all the way over on the chat side
Adjust the chatmix and you should get game sound
Oh perfect thank you so much!
You're welcome :)
This happens all the time how do I prevent this from happening
Do you solve this problem ? it's annoying ...

I'm using the mute and unmute function of the steelseries software a lot.
A while ago I was able to see the Muted and Unmuted overlay showing by the software in game in CS2 but that's not the case anymore.
I did not change anything, the only thing which might could affect this is that I've tried to stream with OBS one day on twitch, but I can not remember making any settings there which could affect this.
In the Steelseries Settings I have "Display Overlays" set to on, and in Windows I can still see them.
What could be the reason? Can anyone help.
i can't seem to be able to mute my usb microphone when sonar is set to streamer mode. any ideas on how to do that? would be very much appreciated
how do you mute your mic? with a keybind?
Yo, I'm having an issue with "Arctis Nova 3." I can either hear discord, with no mic. OR talk with no sound. Any one have an idea? Using sonar, on pc.
Hello everyone, I seem to have a problem with my mic, I've already checked all settings on the PC and the mic seems to only work when it's retracted, as soon as it comes out it does not detect a sound.
Seems like it’s the actual microphone that is messed up, works when retracted but does not work when extended out

I'm currently having some problem with "white noise" in the left earcup on my Arctis Nova Pro Wireless whenever the volume is set to louder than -30 on the DAC. Should I consider this a manufacturing defect or is it likely just interference on the 2.4GHz connection?
can anyone help me with my volume issue?

hello does anyone why isnt the steelseries app isint deceting my microphone
I'd say contact support, especially when it's only in one side
does anyone know how to keep gg from auto updating?
83.0.0 is just dead in the water and 82.0.0 won't quit auto updating to 83. I've been getting 82 to work flawlessly
i'm having a problem, and i don't know if it's gg's fault or not. people can't hear my discord streams, and i don't know how to fix it. could it be something related to gg? maybe something i did wrong or something else?
why is the audio for my left and right surround flipped? im hearing right in left, left in right
My aerox 9 wireless will randomly stop it's colours and go static any reason why? (I have to either plug it back in, or unplug it)
Hello, is it common for my arctis nova pro wireless to not connect to the 2.4G?
No, have you tried re-pairing them?
My headset isnt turning off
Yep, still no, I also tried unisntalling and re-installing GG
Aight, contact support if you don't find a solution here
Kk, thx
yw
My mic audio dosent work for my pc and xbox i can hear myself with mic monitoring still dosent work though
Which headset?
Hello, so I tried re-pairing them but it doesn't pair, is any other option while I wait for the response of support?
I can't think of any. You can use the wired cable it comes with as a temp fix?
i figured it out i just reinstalled steelseries and it resolved the issue
Great :)
nope, it may be the laptop bc the headset works fine if I use it with my phone
is there a way that something is not letting the headset pair with 2.4G
?
also, I see that for some reason it detects the base station as the headphones
Hi, I have had my steelseries Arctis Nova 7X for a few months now and they have been working fine but I have gone on to my xbox today and they wont conect. I have tried turning them on and off, turning the xbox on and off, hard reseting the headset and unplugging and plugging the dongel back in.
I have also tried using Steelseries.gg but no update is needed and cant find a solution does anyone know how to fix this?
have you toggled the switch on the dongle to xbox mode?
Yes had this on xbox mode as well
i bought a nova 1 and im not getting any sound, im not even getting the headset as an audio option
Analog audio devices are headsets/speakers that use the 3.5mm headphone jack as the primary way to connect to the PC or console.
Please note that analog headsets use your on-board audio drivers to run the headset. Due to this, analog headsets are not compatible with SteelSeries Engine and will not show up on the device list in Engine.
If you are having audio issues, here's a few steps to try:
-
Reseat all cable connections to verify they are fully plugged in. The 3.5mm connection will require that the cable be plugged in fully for correct audio. Make sure all connections are clean and free of dirt. Additionally, please check that you have the correct end of the cable plugged into your PC, as some SteelSeries Nova headsets have unique cables that must have the correct end plugged into the headset.
-
Verify that you are plugging the headset into the correct port. Some PCs may have split headphone and microphone audio jacks, so using a splitter for these devices is required to make the mic work. Check your PC's manual or specs to see which type of headphone port you have. Additionally, if you are on a desktop PC, it's recommended to use the rear audio ports on your motherboard for audio, rather than the ports on your PC case.
-
Check for audio driver updates from your PC manufacturer. As analog headsets use your on-board audio drivers to run the headset, it's recommended to check for any driver updates or additional audio software that's provided by your manufacturer. These drivers or management programs may be required for your device to be detected by Windows.
Sonar can also be used with analog headsets. Please make sure your Sonar outputs are set to the on-board audio device that is driving the headset. These are usually named "Realtek" or "Intel" depending on your PC.
For additional support, please contact your PC manufacturer, or SteelSeries official support on the SteelSeries website.

I’m about to lose my mind, I got my Arctis Nova Pro wireless this morning. Was super excited to use it. Only for no audio, I’ve been trying for hours trying to get it to work. Tried sonar, setting default devices, uninstalling reinstalling and nothing. I’m about to lose my mind here. It worked perfectly fine on my brothers computer
Like spending $300 on a pair of headphones and I have to spend hours trying to figure out how to fix this

Anyone else having issues of steelseries GG not even launching? Like it crashes straight away

Is this a recent issue?
ye update 83.0.0 seems to have sparked it to be more common
atleast when speaking about the above shown error
No way around it for now? Can't install an older version or anything?
you can i believe, takes modifying the download page url to get to older version
Help pls
it came with new windows update today 14 o´clock - dont know what has been installed but a restart was necessary - since then error and no sound
Windows-Konfigurationsupdate (KB5035942) and 2025-03 Kumulatives Update für Windows 11 Version 24H2 für x64-basierte Systeme (KB5053656) was installed - i think the second one is the one who makes problems
need help, steelseries gg didn't record my game and idk why
My Aerox 9 wireless sometimes will default the RGB to rainbow, and the only way to fix it is to either unplug it from the wire or plug it back in, anyone know a fix?.
Hey guys,
I bought the Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro 250 Ohm a few months ago, and since then, whenever I clip something :
-Either my voice isn't recorded in the clip
-Or the game sound is missing
-Or Discord audio isn't captured
-Or there's no sound at all
I don't have a sound card and even with steelseries app, its the same problem.
Is this normal? Do I need something specific?
I looked into the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen as a possible solution, but I don't want to buy it if I don't actually need it.
steelseries is a bad company
Why?
everyones stuff is failing
Not everyone
You just don't see people coming here to say everything works
Because why would they
Everything works for me 🤷
it'll fail soon
i hope your stuff doesnt fail though because im so nice
:D

hi, i have no devices showing up in sonar anymore. i got off my pc about 6 hours ago. turned it off and when i turned it back on nothing in sonar was working. it kept giving me error codes. i uninstalled sonar, shut down pc and turned it back on and reinstalled sonar. the error code is gone but now so is everything i had set up. it cant find any devices, i have the most up to date drivers, and the masters tab has no options at all.
Repeatedly getting this in Sonar even after following steps to take when pressing "Learn More" - any suggestions?

My headphone randomly goes mute, and I have to go to GG and change it output to speakers, then back to my headphone to get it working again. What could be the problem?
When it goes mute, I check my Windows sound settings and everything seems to be normal. I even play a Test sound and see a moving bar on my "Gaming" virtual device, but I don't hear it.
Ahoj
How long does Steelseries support actually help - because i need a fix for my Rival 3 Wireless, i can't use 2.4ghz connection and it's annoying - It happened after the last update.
What do you mean by how long?
Not sure I understand
It's been 4 days since last response.
They asked me to try a 3 Button reset and try to connect again, if that doesn't work, contact them again - I did now i'm waiting.
PS.
Some one said that they issue a Programm that can fix my issue.
You won't get an answer until tomorrow at least, since they don't work during the weekend
Ah, alright.
Anyone know where i can find the drivers for Arctis Nova Pro Wireless? Seems my Win11 forgot them? And Steelseries GG is not reinstalling them, so even though my DAC is working fine and the headset is connected to the DAC, i cannot use the headset since it is not found as an output (They do not show up under device manager either)

I dont understand why I had bought these headphones and they just dont work... the audio is just fine but the microphone is horrible i cant speak to anyone without it send a continuous high pitch noise to their headsets.
cant figure out how to disable sidetones either, if that is even the problem in the first place
lol they dont help people in here bro
they choose whos the easiest problem to deal with
how do i get support from their product im about to return them and just completely go with a different company
Contact their official support
you are bestter off in all honestey i own a pair of steelseries arctis 5 and they break really easy
all the headphones are cool but have major manufacturing problems
im pretty much at that point now i just want a set to be plug and play like things used to be
tbh get a pair of corsair headphones they have rgb and are pretty good quality they dont break easy and sound damn good
you can also buy them new from corsair for a really good price
thats actually what i used to have but the cord broke and i cant get a new one apparently. i might go that route again. it was honestly easier
Find a local fixer for that, they can attach any wire back on em
yeah id rather stress over a cord then a whole new pair of headphones no offense but the steelseries ones are prone to breaking after some decent use
they arent exactly cheap either to replace
yeah these were brand new
no need for these issues companies just need to go back to basics, i dont have the patience to have to learn a whole new skill to adjust and make some headphones work. conveniency is just not a factor with companies anymore
yep its the name of the game unfortunately its so you go out and buy some newer and better ones in hopes that they dont completley fail you as well😂
i hope you the best luck tho i know money can be a pain and companies don't make it easy on our pockets but you'll find the ones for you eventually
much appreciated mate, wish you the best as well
does anyone know how i can change the volume of which i can hear my voice in the headset im using the Arctis nova 7
Adjust mic sidetone in the gg engine
its on the lowest but its deafening still
Do you use sonar with streamer mode?
O.o thats quite intresting 😄
i dont understand why they give us levels of mic sidetone instead of just letting us adjust manually
Could be something to ask about/request
Would I be able to do this through disc? as a request for maybe future updates
Well there is a #1070392859125104660 but am not too certain how much they take it into account
Thank you very much @fierce shuttle
Np and didnt the sidetone get a bit better for you? Or is it still giga loud
let me put it this way, i can hear an ant walking form 2km away through the headset
the only way its fine is if I lower the sound from the actual headset
Or maybe slightly turn down the mic volume
how i order a mic and the estimate is the 18-24 and it still isnt here and it says ups hasnt received it
Id contact official support for this
they did a whole lotta nothing cuh
the white noise is still there tho
Sadly im not too versed with the wireless headset problems/features
Thats alright i still appreciate all the help
You can always make a post in #1047622297382567936 about issues( with as much info provided) or worst case ask official support as they can also assist ya
I also had a problem which the first part didnt help and had it solved with the latter
hey im not able to clip anything in valorant with GG. I've been using GG for a year now and suddenly when I use the macro I have set nothing gets clipped. It works in other games, just not valorant. GG is detecting that I'm playing Valorant so it's not a detection problem. Whats going on here?
hello i want to refund where ?
not on discord, contact official support
or your local store if you bough it from there
I know, but they took so long to respond. A guy named Sengha said, "Let me forward your inquiry to one of our order specialists who are better equipped to handle these types of issues" on Saturday, and I still haven’t heard anything back
could be perhaps that they dont work on the weekends
today is a weekend ?
no but thats why youre waiting a bit longer
you had to go through saturday and sunday without any reply
I'm from Saudi Arabia—sorry, I might have forgotten, and there could be some differences.
Sorry if I bothered you with my question, and thank you for your help.
np they will prob contact with you later today
yeah i hope
The issue is that SteelSeries doesn’t ship directly to Saudi Arabia, so I used a third-party service to forward the package. Unfortunately, the shipping cost turned out to be quite high—over $70—which I didn’t expect. I later found the same product on Amazon for $68 with free shipping, so I went ahead and ordered it from there. so i want to refund the steelseries order
Hi, how do I disable the "C1 <>" thing on the oled screen of a apex keyboard?
Go into the oled menu on the keyboard and disable the status message
I dont see that setting
Scroll down to Display then Display icons
my bad if im being not smart right now but I cannot for the life of me find what you are talking about. When you said oled menu you meant this right?
No worries 😄
It's on the keyboard itself not the software
what do I do if sonar won't boot up?
ohhhhh, and how would one go about opening the settings on the keyboard?
Hold down the button under the scroll wheel
Go in your settings of GG and enable sonar
thank you
You're welcome :)
I turned it on in the settings, but it just keeps loading all the time.
Here's a screenshot
Try downloading GG and running the installer again
I uninstalled GG completely and reinstalled but it didn't help

I want to order these steelseries keycaps but theres no option to select the layout https://de.steelseries.com/gaming-accessories/pbt-keycaps and i want the ANSI layout not the ISO layout
I'm not sure it's available in different layouts
Some keycaps are limited to the NA version
@honest bolt moved your message :)
When you say you can't access Sonar, are you getting an error, constant loading or something else?
Perfect
constant loading
Try installing the new version that just came out without uninstalling first: https://engine.steelseriescdn.com/SteelSeriesGG83.1.0Setup.exe
hi guys does anyone know what to do about my discord mic sounding really quiet and low quality? people on discord call are saying i sound like this but i sound fine when i try and listen myself. any clues?
thank god. Was seriously about to throw them out.
does anyone know where and which files contains all the settings like
SteelSeries Apex Pro: rgb colors and meta key bindings
SteelSeries Aerox 9 Wireless: keybindings
SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless: equalizer settings (i use sonar think should be in C:\ProgramData\SteelSeries\GG\apps\sonar\db\database.db )
quicksets
i want to try a Backup of all my settings since reinstall reason -> sonar error 3762504530 deleted all settings
yesterday i spent whole day reconfigurating and today same problem... 😫
#fuckwin11
(yes i am aware of https://discord.com/channels/299040363123965952/1354523903220908212 )
why did i buy everything from steelseries and left logitech?? aaahhh yes because logitech software sucked
the engine configs are stored in the engine database at "C:\ProgramData\SteelSeries\GG\apps\engine\db\database.db"
it's all in one big database, you can't really save certain device configs separately
thats fine 😉 i`ll try save all those 4 files and reinstall
i found the same path+files just wanted to be sure if i am missing something
thank you very much ❤️
hey anyone got advice for me? Im trying to use sonar, and I have the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro 2 Wireless. Whenever im setting up sonar or enable it, it always swaps through to my monitor audio for some reason. I checked all the outputs and made sure they were setup but to no avail, it is still not working
go into the device manager and change the fallback settings/fallback order
SteelSeries Sonar has “Device Fallback” that will automatically switch the outputs on Sonar.
Fallback can be triggered when a device is unavailable (such as when booting your PC or unplugging a device), or it can switch outputs if it detects if a Nova headset is turned off, and automatically switch to speakers.
This fallback functionality can be adjusted or turned off by going into the settings in Sonar. Simply click on your devices in the Mixer and open the Device Manager in Sonar.
You can also adjust the order in which devices fall back to. This can be adjusted in the same Device Manager menu. Simply drag and drop to set the order of devices.
hmmm
So Im on the latest version of SteelSeries GG after this update and I can't log in or create a new account. I dont use a VPN either and I've tried on other networks to see if my wifi was the problem
I cnat find it tho >w<
nvm fixed it
my apex pro spams random keys, and spacebar while i type, any fix?
thank you!! just tried it, hope it works!
Hello guys

My apex pro mini just stopped working after i stopped using it
Wireless and wired are not working
I can't get an automatic clip, it says the game is being recorded but it is not being recorded in steelseries.gg
I am also having this issue where it randomly won't clip when i press the hotkey button for clipping.
I been using this software for years with this issue randomly reappearring. I've closed and re-opened with task manager while also exiting in disk tray, closed and re-opened the games, I've reinstalled the app, I've reinstalled windows 10, ive updated to windows 11, restarted my pc, changed clipping key binds, have gotten a replacement CPU since, it has done this on older versions as well. The rest of the app always seemed to work fine. Please let me know what else to do.
guys can i ask , how to fix this ?? my micorphone not work
In order for apps to output to the other devices in Sonar, you'll need to route the apps to the specified device. Routing can be done in one of two ways:
-
Use the routing drag and drop interface underneath the audio outputs to simply move any apps playing sounds to the required output
-
Open the Windows sound device by going to Settings > Sound > App Volume and Device Preferences. From this settings menu you can use the dropdown to route any app.
-
If you are having issues with step 2 or step 3 above, you may need to check the app itself for any sound output settings. Some apps like Discord, Spotify, and Apple Music may need to have their outputs changed within their app settings rather than done through Sonar.
If you see the "Sonar did not allow this app to change outputs" error, then step 1 above did not work, and you may need to do step 2 or step 3 to route your audio.
hello, i was wondering if there is a way for me to make WASD work as intended, and not as arrow keys, and where the arrow keys should be, work as arrow keys ( Apex Pro Mini )
why the cant i log into gg app?
Dont update Windows 11 24h2 KB5053656, that update break some apps and steelseries sonar
I'm on that version and Sonar is working fine? I know sometimes windows update can mess with device priority but usually a quick rearrange inside of the device manager fixes it
Sonar no longer takes over the main function when I'm on the PC. As soon as I turn the volume up, it really only turns my headset up or down, not the PC or the game.
anyone know why my noise gate picks up my keyboard in moments, but normally in a call with my friends the noise gate works
question for somone who knows how to work the sonar engine, i have a pgiliaps hue set up in my room but i cant use GG as an audio output for the lights. i dont have any other audio outputs have have it on another headset and speakers to use and have it play in sync with the lights. any work around?

how can i fix that? i only want to show the game
it says game capture but shows everything like i do a whole desktop capture
game capture was removed a few updates ago. No ETA on when itll be back but I know they are working at it!
What that warning is telling you is that you need to go to Discord settings -> Voice & Video and set the Input Device to Sonar - Microphone and Output Device to Sonar - Chat.
thanks
Can somebody tell me, how i can activate rapid tap on my oled screen or in the GG on the Apex Pro TKL gen 3?
hi. I have poor hearing and that's why I installed sonar, I saw an ad on the SteelSeries website for visualization of sounds as an overlay on top of the game, but I don't know how to set up such visualization, can you help?
that's just a stylization and not actually what sonar does (otherwise it would be wallhacks and banned from most games)
Can anyone help me? I got a keyboard from Mad Dog GK850W and im playing minecraft FN+ F3+H works but FN+ F3+G doesnt work to show something else , any explanation the G button itself works
I just got the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P. Is there a way to use the bluetooth while having the aux connected for this headset?
no, when the 3.5mm aux is connected the headset goes into wired only mode and shuts down all wireless functions.
if you want to listen to two things at once, you can use BT for one and 2.4ghz (through the USB-C dongle) for the other
Hello, I have a problem with my microphone. My microphone keeps cutting out when I speak, even though I can hear myself speaking. I don't know what to do anymore.

Why is Sonar so bad?
😦
I had an older Arctis 7 which just worked. The ChatMix just worked. No software required, it just, flawlessly, worked. Now, I have an Arctis Nova 7, due to the my Arctis 7 going out on me after a LOT of years of wonderful service. I thought, yeah, I want to stick with this headset because I loved it! Man, that was a mistake. The newer headset barely works. If the SteelSeries software isn't open, it does nothing. If I open it, it doesn't always remember which things route to which outputs. After I get those set up again, quite often the ChatMix on the headset doesn't work. It's one thing after another. Why did they make this horrible choice to switch to software instead of leaving the thing that worked just working?
anyone know why repo wont capture your mic in game? its the only game i have that will pick up other peoples mic in the game but not mine? not sure if its a SteelSeries problem or repo problem
hey im not able to clip anything in valorant with GG. I've been using GG for a year now and suddenly when I use the macro I have set nothing gets clipped. It works in other games, just not valorant. GG is detecting that I'm playing Valorant so it's not a detection problem. Whats going on here?
ive noticed this too. all audio for me, game/chat/etc
I'm sitting here playing iRacing when my headset disconnects, and makes the reconnect noise, but I dont ever get back any audio
I look in Steelseries GG and it's saying my headset is not connected
it's not showing any headset connected on the base station, but the headset is powered on?
this was working like 10 minutes ago, i haven't changed a damn thing
so the headset has (Nova Pro Wireless) has a white blinking light now, it's not pairing the base station
so it unpaired randomly? well that's not ideal software design
I wouldn't describe that as design but an issue somewhere. Have you tried re-pairing the headset?
Contact support if that doesn't fix it
Hello guys! I just bought an Arctis Pro wireless, and love it so far! However, i have installed Sonar and whenever i turn the headset off (the battery level on the base disappears), it doesnt swith to the next available output which are my speakers. It is tedious to do it manually each time. Same thing, when i turn the headset back on, i have to manually put them as output in sonar to have them play sound. Any idea how to fix please?
I do believe that feature is reserved for the Nova line of headsets
It should say that somewhere around the function
Did you just turn off your headset and now sound is coming through your monitor instead of your desktop speakers? Annoying, I know! But now you can fix that. In this blog post, I’ll take you through how the new Backup Device Switch feature in SteelSeries Sonar addresses common audio setup issues when plugging in / un-plugging new devices.
found this, but doesnt work
wow
Which speakers do you have?
sound like a return then!
It is a very old headset to be fair and was replaced by the Nova version in 2022
Oh, you didn't include the Nova at first :D
It makes a big difference :D
sorry!
I am completely new to the brand
All good :)
I have the same headset but I'm not at my PC right now but I'll test it here later today
thanks a ton!
My pleasure :)
i just downloaded the app and made a sound profile. How do i turn it on in-game?
can someone help me with bad audio while im in a call on discord?
because if im not in a call the audio is really good
it's because you're using bluetooth
Most likely
its working now properly thanks alot
You're welcome ☺️
Hello, can somebody help? Bought arctic buds today, they worked for a while, then sound dissapeared. PC 2.4hz
Hello, can somebody tell me why my mic is not working? Discord is able to detect it but not to play any sound.
push to talk probably
Can someone help me?
I keep getting this error 8
Ive reinstalled the app and it did nothing >.>
Even if I try to test microphone i cant hearmyself, I think something is wrong with my Steelesreries settings, but i have no idea what
what mic do you have sir
steel series arctis 1
restart pc
from headphones
when did it stop working just today?
i did 3x
delete n reinstall if not try vpn like 1.1.1
mine gives the error 8 telling me to restart it
reinstalling dosent fix it either
It worked when i bought it, but Ive been using another microphone for a long time and when I wanted to replace it by steelseries mic it turned out taht it doesnt work
volume knobs only adjust windows main system sound, while sonar splits your sound into multiple devies so only one can be adjusted like that
since sonar needs the gaming channel to be set as windows default for chatmix your volume knob will affect that channel only
can anyone else not capture marvel rivals anymore? i have to be tabbed into steel series for it to clip but it captures steel series instead

hi everyone! My arctis nova 1 wired headset is SOSing after the update i got yesterday. this happened after the last update about a month ago as well, and it fixed itself randomly. Can anyone assist with why this might be happening?
I just bought arctis nova 5 yesterday and i saw they have fun color bands for them, but all the one on the website are not compatible for mine, does anyone know where i can find some?
My Arctis Nova Pro barely is picking up my voice when I have the mic volume set to max in Windows, game, and the Steelseries app. Anyone else run into this issue?
The threshold bar in Discord gets to like 10% when I'm yelling
I just got the alias pro and had to activate sonar, but it is messing badly with my headphones. My audio keeps cutting out and adjusting poorly. Any suggestions?
Why is there only 1 volume slider now? I was able to control 2 output devices before so I could have audio output through both my monitor and my headset for example
Hey guys,
I bought the Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro 250 Ohm a few months ago, and since then, whenever I clip something :
-Either my voice isn't recorded in the clip
-Or the game sound is missing
-Or Discord audio isn't captured
-Or there's no sound at all
I don't have a sound card and even with steelseries app, its the same problem.
Is this normal? Do I need something specific?
I looked into the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen as a possible solution, but I don't want to buy it if I don't actually need it.
recently done a windows update and my wireless game option doesnt work, only chat version. So I am unable to get the nice sonar sounds I had the other day. Would appreciate if anyone had a clue for how to fix this
tried changing windows sound settings too but nothing works
do you get audio to the game output if you turn off sonar and just use game as the windows output?
I have the same problem minus the chat working, and that's more or less what I'm doing. Connect the headset with audio jack and use regular windows output.
Sucks that I can't get it to work as wireless though.
how to clean the wristrest, i cant figure it out (apex pro tkl (2023)
just some mild soap like dish soap should work fine. put some dish soap in some warm water, dip a paper towel/microfiber cloth in it, and wipe it down
nothing works other than the wireless chat even without sonar
its weird its like it just doesnt exist
Figured out a workaround, have to change output from sonar to your actual headphones. Audio is perfect after that. Watching a movie, in a call, in game the audio was buggy before but good now
Hello, I also have that problem randomly while i'm playing and on a call at the same time. Is it the same on your side, have you found a solution ?
Have you tried this by chance? https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/articles/30933893075725-My-Arctis-GameBuds-turned-off-How-do-I-power-them-back-on
My bad it's not the same type of devices (artic pro wireless in my case) so the problem is not related, the program loses the peripherals from time to time and finds it seconds later. I have a stability problem
is that possible to use nova pro wireless wired?
Hi I just bought the apex pro gen 3 keyboard I need support to set it up !

Same, when Im loading into my game it crashes as soon as I load into the game
so just got done with a pearsonVEU test and had to disconnect my headset during that test. now I can't get anything to come out of the headset even after disconnecting the speakers and changing my settings back.
mic works fine
does anybody know why when i click start desktop capture and after like 5 seconds it just turns off?
Hey all, I am having some issue with my audio playing from the headset when using Sonar. I remember there being a setting that let me choose the output device, but i can't seem to find it and I think that may be my issue. the GG app is showing its getting audio from the pc (like chrome).
im still getting this problem anyone else ??
does anyone know if they have a feuture where you can make a montage on the moments tab? if so how?
im in need of help idk wtf im doing

but it seems i need to fight god to be able to listen to audio from one screen to the other

maybe u should activate streamer mode again
u need to do a full reinstall of GG

i have been at this for 17 hrs already
i just wana play hunt showdown and eft
do you recommend any videos like everyone i watch has different settings i have them like all on im a small streamer that plays a plethora of games i mostly stream me playing
why does sonar make my default audio device SteelSeries Sonar - Gaming? do i need to have that set for stuff to work properly? because I prefer having my default as my headset due to frequently using my sound settings on my keychron keyboard (mute, volume down, volume up etc,) which doesn't work with SteelSeries Sonar - Gaming as my default... :/

What is youre struggling with?
can i clean the keys with water?
no, youd have to use a liquid thats not conductive to not cause issues
okay, and i spilled the drink around 12 hours ago, ive already let it dry, held it upside down, used compressed air on each key, used a dry towel, and now that i tried plugging it back in and using the keys, all the keys seem to work fine and dont cause any mnalfunction or key spamming
oh and also some pieces unfortunately broke off while i was removing the keys such as small parts of the enter key
how can I delete them so i have only 2 configs, or there another way to switch between the 2 only so typing and fn configs, because the others are bascially useless to me.
Hi, can someone tell me what to do with the auto-clipping on GG engine? I can only hear the people i play with, and not my self?
HI everyone. Does anyone know if you can use Sonar to route sounds into my MIC?

pls help me with artis nova 7 mirophone plssssssss
is there anyway of using both my Speakers and my Steelseries headset at the same time?
depending on what you're doing:
- if you just want one thing going to speakers (like music) you can set one of the VADs to output to the speakers and leave the rest on the headset
- if you want the speakers to repeat the exact same thing going to the headset, you can turn on streamer mode and set the stream output to the speakers

I've recently bought 2 additional batteries for my nova wireless as a backup and i'm wondering if i have to keep them charged every few months or so? Do they have some shelf life or sth? How to keep them healthy?
for any batteries sitting at 50% charge is the best for longevity
since thats when they get the least amount of stress, could do 60% since they discharge slowly
I just leave a full one in my backpack in emergencies when I froget to change the batt in the morning
Works fine, I wouldn’t worry abt it
Worst comes to worst, just spend another 12 bucks in 3 years to replace a worn down batt

Would anyone know why steel GG would suddenly stop outputing game audio?
- GG crashed, but it can just be fixed by restarting it
- the output in Sonar changed to something else, but it can be fixed by changing the output back
- windows update broke the audio system, but it can be fixed by either #2 above or by just re-running the GG installer to fix the audio without removing your settings
I've re-installed the gg multiple times. It outputs media, chat my mic but it ignore game audio altogether.
is the chatmix wheel on your headset set correctly? if it's set all the way to chat it would mute the game audio
I'm just using the steel series GG sonar software for audio control. I'm not using any other steel series tech.
you'd still have a virtual chatmix slider in sonar, but that should reset to the middle on reinstalls
it's set at neutral (center)
does the sonar page show audio playing on game?
does't even register that there is sound
if you move another app like edge to output to game, do you get audio from that app?
yup
it's literally just the game audio. Doesn't matter what game I choose, I get nothing, yet all other non-game related audio works
It's wierd because if I move the game over to media, I get the game audio output and can hear the game. As soon as i put it back under game it stops.
when ever I turn off my headset my sonar outputs get reset to (realted(R) audio) and I can't hear anything, I've read that there is a '"automatic device backup" under the sonar tab in the settings of GG, but I can't find it. is there anything else I can do to stop my audio changing everytime I turn my headset back on, or am I going to have to get use to resetting my outout every time
shot in the dark, but maybe try turning on/off spatial audio in the "game" outputs in GG and see if that helps?
backup device switch is inside of the device manager in sonar https://steelseries.com/blog/how-to-use-the-new-sonar-device-manager-steelseries-gg
I'll give that a read, thanks
damn, the only place I didn't check and see if there was something to mess with...
neither worked. Thanks for trying
hey everybody, anybody have any idea on what the bottom out force for the omnipoint switches are? i see most people estimate it to be around 45gf, but rtings measures it at 40gf
guys whos online i need small help with sound discord notifications
anybody know how to delete all macros at once
Guys, I need help with my Steelseries Arctis Nova 1 headset. I'd like to hear it from you if any of you know the solution.
So basically I've updated my graphics card driver and after that, my PC stopped detecting any mics or headsets. It doesn't detect input or output. I also tried Steelseries GG app but it doesn't detect my device either.
It's probably about the Realtek Audio driver but I don't know how to solve it. I've checked "Sound, Video, and Game Controllers" from Device Manager but I can only see NVIDIA's driver.
This might be a really stupid question, and I’m sorry if it is, but do I have to use Sonar in order to use 7X on PC? Can I use EQ settings and presets without it? It fells forced.
Sonar aint forced, you can adjust eq settings in the engine or use any third party software for eq
is there a way to have the auto clip auto send to dedicated discord slot?
Only thing you'd need sonar for is the chatmix
Got it. That’s great! Is there a way to turn it off? It feels like I can’t use the headphones without it on.
Somewhere in the settings, cant remember exact spot
Ok cool. I’ll check it out. Was about to return them because it felt like you have to use sonar. Thanks for the help!
Recently ran into an issue with wireless not working on steelseries tkl wireless keyboard, just one day took it off charge and didn't connect to dongle, i've reinstalled .gg no fix and tried the dongle in another port etc, when i switch it into that mode the lights flicker in white from f1-12 on my keyboard, but still doesn't turn on, is there any fix for this?

You can try disabling Sonar as a first step in troubleshooting
It can be disabled in Settings
um im new to the steelseries i cant see a troubleshooting section rn
I'm saying you can try disabling Sonar as a step in the process
i did actually i uninstalled the sonar from the device manager
im trying to install it back but i dont know how
What's preventing you from selecting device here?
You have muted your master output and all the faders are off
Click on this
