You waited 2 work days, that's not much
(Friday and Monday. It's still morning in Chicago)
hey guys I would like to ask what is the optimal settings for arctis nova pro wireless in sonar ?
Lennart how good are turtle beach headsets, does the turtle beach headsets have good mic audio quilty on them
tbh idk
Per popular request, I have covered in-depth EQ tuning for the SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless headset. This includes tuning via the DAC for console use, and tuning via Sonar for PC use. I also show frequency response measurements for various EQ presets and how that works with other headsets. Thanks for stopping by!

are these turtle beach wireless headsets any good at all https://www.amazon.ca/Turtle-Beach-Stealth-Wireless-Amplified/dp/B09SHY48Z7?ref_=ast_sto_dp
Officially licensed for Xbox, the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB wireless amplified gaming headset delivers high-quality audio & chat for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One X & Xbox One S. A long-lasting 24+hour battery means less charging, and more gaming and with quick charging you can ...
I am getting the apex 9 mini
I am on chat support (with screen share) with microsoft atm and even they are stumped as to why my Arctis Nova 1 isnt working when my other headset that is basically broken in half works fine. Wtf is this product?
Haven't used Turtle Beach for years so don't really know tbh. I would suggest finding a headset you might like and check reviews, mic tests etc :)
Your headset could be broken? It does happen even with brand new (aka DOA which is literally impossible to avoid)
That's what I thought too, so I got it replaced this morning by one of the exact same model and the same problem persists. Looking online it seems a ton of people are having this problem with the Arctis Nova 1, but SteelSeries never made an official statement and even threads from several years ago haven't been resolved
doggie do you think you might like getting the nova pro wired headset from steelseries then
If the problem with this headset isn't resolved I'm not ordering anything from SteelSeries again. I'm a simple man, if your hardware can't plug and play I go to the competitor
You can get 2 broken in a row if it's a batch issue
Although not impossible I think that is extremely unlikely, especially when forums like reddit are littered with people having microphone problems with that model
It's a tricky thing because it can seem like a ton of people are having issues but that is often a vocal minority
Even if 1000 people are having issues there's most likely 99000 others who aren't
Anecdotal evidence and such
Hi guys on discord with the nova pro wireless my mic sounds horrible i dont know why
i am pretty sure sonar works but it still feels very bad <.<
Anyway, I should be working (not SteelSeries :P)
Absolutely, but it doesn't change that I am now stuck with a dead headset that I paid 60 Euros for and now I have to just hope that the store replaces it for a second time after I just brought the other one back earlier today.
Where'd you buy it?
Media Markt, it's basically one of EU's largest electronics supply store
I bought my Xbox One there in Germany :D
So I know them
Well you can either ask for a new headset again or return it and go for a different model?
That's how I see it at least
i shud have gone with a different mode lol <.<
exchanged the 7 for 9 somehow my mic is even worse
I will definitely have to attempt to replace it (again) and see what they say. That'll be nice and awkward lol
Well it's either that or being stuck with a broken headset 
it's a shame cause it's a very comfy headset, but I am not going to attempt getting a third lol
The mic could have been of a better quality, but since I rarely speak in my games, i got the product because of the sound... They sound awesome, way better than any other headphones I have had historically.
Its just bad, i dont use it as input device.
Seems like all the development budget for the product went to making the sound great, and then they was like "wooot, we need to add voice input to? Omg, the budget is not enough, we go for this...."
HAHAHA!! Indeed.
People say my voice is too quiet on my Acrtic 7P
Even the mic in my webcam sounds better.
my artics 7 sounded better apparently then the nova pro
Should have gotten either the Actis 7 wireless for PC back then
Because I would have gotten Clearcast AI
Or the meeting speaker, whick I use, is 100x better.
The 7P on the other hand was like $150
And no Clearcast
Because itās for PlayStation and PC
But the sound, to my ears, the best in any wirless headset I have had, I refuse to use cables.
This is odd, that they could not implement support for both big consoles in one product.
this shud be how it is right?
I just had some issues with chat headset so making sure
i went to advanced options and now chat mix works atleast ;0
Heya there
I can help with that
Also
You donāt HAVE to switch the input and output on discord
The default input and output from the Sound devices is used as the default for discord, so set both input and output from discord to default
just need to test it in game now and hope it works ;p
Hi there! I just bought my first good audio device (Arctis Nova 7).. I'm confused about multiple points (How do I know if I have Sonar enabled ? I have DTS and Dolby on my laptop and I don't know how I can test them, and for some reason it shows "Speaker" in the GG app)
go in the setting and u should see this
u need to enable sonar and its gonna work i believe
Hi all. Reached out into the sonar channel first before coming here. Just picked up some arctis nova pro wired headsets and sonar is giving me a HUGE pain. Would anyone be able to assist?
anyone know how to fix this?
Hi ! I have a question please, does the dac of the nova pro (wired) allow you to connect the dt 770 pro by delivering all the necessary power? Thanks !
i think so not 100% sure
nicuuuuuuuuuuuuu congratz
Would it be possible to connect the arctis 7p headset to a arctis 7 transmitter
No, the wireless headsets will only work with the transmitter they come with (or a replacement for that specific headset). You can't mix and match transmitters and headsets
i need some help please, which headset would be perfect for me with good mic audio
Depends what you need it for and your budget
for game streaming
There is imo no clear answer, it depends what platform you're playing on, if you prefer open or closed headsets, wireless or wired. There are so many options really
Really if mic audio quality is what you care about most then you should be looking at dedicated USB mics and not headset mics
? the mics on artics 9 are simply amazing and sound just as good
If you do not have a budget and like higher end headsets, i personally recommend artics nova pro wireless
As far as mic quality goes, the wired is considerably better than the wireless version. It's pretty much a tossup between the two for everything else though
And just a little info, i have 5 of their headsets, artics 9 are simply amazing for wireless and the battery life is amazing, but i also have the nova 3, nova pro, artics pro wirelesss and artics pro plus gamedec
@burnt folio you also get more options to control the sound with some mics as well.. i myself would suggest watching a few youtube videos to help you betetr make up your mind.
except for price :0
Also they have giveaways, which are sometimes keys for games and also skins, highly recommend steel series even a mouse is nice as well
ok, so i have a question for a mod, i tried claiming my dbd 200k bloodpoints and it comes up as a failure.. are they all out??
try restarting it maybe? it should sync automatically
yeah same, i just wiped my computer, and im redownlaoding all the stuff, when i got to select each device for input on first time set up, no devices are available it just says select,
even tho i can see them in the device manager
hello can anyone help me with the sound on the ps5 for the artic nova pro wireless it sounds so low
i have the gamedac connectted to the ps5 on usb-1 but still sounds so low and on the pc the sound is so amazing
Guys, apex 5 keyboard disconnect loop while in discord voice channel, anyone knows how to fix?(
Sooo...I just plugged in my Arctis Nova 7 headset, upgrading from the original Arctis 7 unit...and it sounds absolutely awful. Tinny, flat, two dimensional, bad EQ. I have GG installed and while the headset shows up on Sonar it isn't showing up in Engine. I've tried playing with EQ settings and no matter what I do it seems to be performing significantly worse than my original Arctis 7 set. Anyone have any ideas here?
where can i get some info on sonar??
The game chat slider on my arctis 7+ is not seperating discord sound and game sound. treats them as the same thing. Is there a settng somewhere where i can deside what is chat and what is "game"
The 7+ only has one output, not s separate Game/Chat like the original 7 so in Sonar both of the Game and Chat options should be set to Arctis 7+
k got them set to that output. its got the slider for game/chat as well and that works correctly. the thing is when it changes the audio its basically acting like a volume button as it would seem discord is being recognized as a game audio
Hmm if you have all the outputs set correctly and the slider is still changing both try unplugging your headset receiver from the PC and plug it back in
guys i cant, i just can figure it out why the headset doesn't have surround sound, PLS help
nvm i fixed it
Anyone intimately familiar with the Nova 7 set and how to not make it sound like a dumpster fire with an over-the-hill opera singer dying of lung cancer inside?
My issue is sonar pics up discord audio as "game" and not chat audio. How can I fix this?
Change your Discord output to Sonar Chat in Discord Voice settings
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
That was the solution. I feel so dumb...
I knew it was going to be something simple and a configuration I had set incorrectly. Wow
Wow. Not only did you fix the issue you also made the options make sence as when i got the head set and sonar there is 5 options to chose from in the setting and i never understood it until know..
6 monthss...
thank you Alanhm...
This sonar GG program is so hard for me to learn how to use it on my nova pro wired headset
Fighting with Sonar myself right now. Just got the Nova pro wireless and whenever I turn the headset off, it clears the output device in sonar.
I just wonder right now if it is better to use for discord the sonar virtual devices, or direct headphone input/output as I have Nova 7. Because next to direct input/output device it says it is discord certified š
The steelseries staff members will not look at my support tickets anymore
I have no idea on how to use these types of headsets
So what sonar offers, I already use in a program called Equalizer APO.
why can't i dm staff members
So the program doesnāt interest me besides its gamer, focused, marketing
You shouldnāt have to DM staff to figure out how an equalizer works
But imo if you want sonar for ālouder footstepsā youāre tuning one thing out for the cost of another
Thatās how EQ works
Just donāt use it
Go into GG settings and disable Device Fallback
trolls made me destory my old i7 machine 2 years ago thats why i only trust staff members now
Yeah well someoneās time is also valuable.
This is quite frankly not their problem. You shouldnāt need a staff member to directly 1:1 spoonfeed you
There are also plenty of tutorials online that go through all the features of Sonar and how to set it up
And keep in mind that mods don't work for SteelSeries. If you need official support for a product or software then you should start by looking through the help articles through the links in #official-support, and if nothing there helps then file a ticket and get an agent to help
is there a channel to get help
Np the new verification system can be weird sometimes lol
can some one help me connect my apex pro mini wirless
why is m7y headset have so bad quality while in call how to fix it?
Thanks for the help, that took care of it!
was wondering if anyone has been able to use GG/Sonar to stream audio/music to a microphone so others can hear it
i have done it with another application but its being dumb and wont let me do anything with it
im able to get it so people can hear the audio, but then im not able to.
No, Sonar doesn't have a way to stream audio through the mic input
can someone help me with my artic 7+ im seeing there is sound going through on sonar and everything is still set for sonar in my sound but im not getting anything through my heaset
i already power reset it and nothing maybe a moderator can help
Whatās your playback device in windows
the sonar gaming
Open up the Sound settings where it shows all audio devices. In playback: set sonar to default devices
Disable all other sources but arctic driver
well your problem is somewhere in that menu, or somewhere in where your audio is coming from, like accidently muting spotify
Everywhere I look it says the audio is going through but on the headset I have it set to max and the mixer halfway so I should hearing something but Iām not
hey all
why did steelseries have to make a gamedac for, for these headsets
i need a headset so i do not need to yell while i am streaming
these headsets were made for people that do online mmo only
the only thing i know to do is turn on a game and play it and stream it
I do not understand on how to use the Gamedac either with my headset
because a knob is the superior media controller.
what?!?! XD
clearly.
my guy unless you're playing clan WoW raids the only headset designed for "online mmo players only" are the ones without a mic
this would of been a better company if the staff members helped out here
would have*
Well you gotta make a #official-support ticket for that :)
Lol
Hi
Hi, Im currently working on my BA thesis in product design. This is a long shot, but is there anyone from the SteelSeries product development team that would have a chat some time, about my BA thesis. In that case please dm me. (hope this is not against the rules here)
donate discord nitro(
yes
Does anybody who has ordered from SS in the uk know whether the UPS part of shipping will deliver to you, or is it to a local postal branch that will then do the final step?
hi
Yes
Lol
Still loving my nova pro wireless
Same :)
Ok
anyone know what to do from here the mice battery died during a game and now after the charge i cant connect the mice
how good is the steelseries Arctis 1 wired gaming headset
nvm i got it
I have a keyboard named Apex Pro TKL and oled won't turn on, what's the problem?
Hi guys, probably question was already raised here - I just got my Nova PRO (wired) and installed Sonar app. Set SteelSeries Sonar Gaming as default and I can see that equalized is showing input, but I can't hear anything in the headset. Though whenever I choose in windows an output device as HEADPHONES sound start coming, but I guess with that option it just go as a default setting without Sonar features and gaming presets. Please advise
restarted computer, reinstalled sonar etc... same thing
I have a keyboard named Apex Pro TKL and oled won't turn on, what's the problem?
They do make great mice and laptops :)
And some of their headsets are nice
I like the Blackshark ones. Kraken? Not so much :D
Ive used a Huntsman Tournament for a year now, no complains besides about a month of getting used to opticals.
Aerox 3 in my other hand. Never had a problem with that setup for so long until I wanted my QWER keys to glow different.
Ecosystem hit me hard
How do i install just sonar app?
how do i turn off updates?\
Thereās not very much settings to begin with.
how do i unlock this?
and i have the nova pro wireless and when i turn off the headset the base turns off all sound. on the new update 30.0. on version 20.0 works just fine. how to fix?
Thanks a lot steelseries! Your products are garbage. Straight up trash!! My arctis 7+ wireless wont fkn connect to my pc and it wont even recognize it as a device anymore.
This company has given me multuple issues in the last year. Not even gonna begin to explain every single one. Ive had enough
not product ideas

i cant post my good ideas that are just upcoming products anymore
(you can still use #1070392859125104660 for ideas for physical products)
is there anything wrong with sonar today?
why is mine not working it just keeps loading and not doing anything
Auto clip still not working with mw2 after gg 31.0 update
Got a deal for nova 7 for 160$, was it worth it? I have arctis 7+
Should I return it, cause I donāt feel many differences
The entire sonar engine is bugged right now
Oh, so the fact that my Sonar microphone isnt working, is something happening for alot of people rn?
Sonar is working for me my problem is with moments and auto clip
I have just issue with my Sonar Gaming output... 1st day of becoming SteelSeries customer - awesome experience, should've go with Razer or HyperX ... dammit
Razer XDDDDDDDDDD
is it possible to role back a update on the app?
well, it might be funny but it's not, I have no fkn clue what to do and how to fix that bloody issue with sound not going via Sonar Gaming which not allow me to use EQs and gaming presets
can anyone dm me and help with my steelseries software? i cant get it to work
and I am using this expensive product for like 4 hours
it seems like the new update breaks trimming
it will start wherever you set it as but audio will continue until the end of the clip with a frozen image
hi when i talk into my mic i can hear myself into the speakers artics 7x anyone can help ? pm pleaseee
i just got them 2 days ago
TY
after first picture you need to click on the product banner to get into settings which are on the second screen
bruh they need to say that u can click on the picture xdd
hell yeah... I just got my device today, UX/UI of setting their product is insane... still having issue with setting mine ...
same for me 2 days ago switched from razer see how it will go .
I'm close to switch back to HyperX in case my issue is not fixed till weekend
When arena 9 restock?
U did turned it off in the settings like I posted above? @stray axle
that is really weird
how?
I get what sounds like garbled audio sometimes through multiple applications. I'm 1 foot from the receiver and nothing is between my headset and receiver. Any ideas? (Nova 7)
Does anyone have the diagram for connecting the Arctis Nova Pro to an audio interface?
i had the exact same issue today
my arctis 7 nova just suddenly made a crackling noise and then turned off while i was playing
"reconnect headset" in engine but none of the lights on the headset are turning on/responsive and ive fac reset it, reinstalled audio drivers, manually restarted the headset and every fix i could find. aparently its a common issue for the headset but support hasnt hit me back yet
hello, someone here who knows a little bit about sonar and the nova headset?
Are there plans to make the regular numpad version of the Apex Pro 2023 version, since it's odd that they only updated the TKL one? š¤
I'd imagine they'll probably have a full sized refresh sometime this year. They technically launched the "2023" version in 2022 so there's still plenty of time for another board. They did the TKL first because that's one of the most popular keyboard sizes on the market rn
Yep I sure hope so as I like my numpad, and the 2023 variants look so sleek and clean! Thanks for the reply š
Yeah itās frustrating. I hate technology.
does anyone know why the media channel is gone?
just happened, it's still detected as a windows audio input but it's not on sonar
nevermind, a simple restart fixed the issue š¤¦
hello, i own this keyboard and I want to know if i can exchange it's switches:
Logitech g pro lol ver.
Hey, I have the arctis 9X, for some reason I can get them to appear in the Engine tab in the gg app? Anyone having the same struggle and any clue on how to fix this?
The 9X doesn't have Engine support
every headset has support for sonar i think
Yeah every headset can use Sonar, you just can't change any hardware settings via Engine with the 9X
Hello, how's everyone doing?
Glad you asked, Toast. Iām doing quite terrible in fact. This morning, my headset decided to just disconnect from my laptop. My laptop wont even recognize my steelseries Arcticās 7+ in sonar. I have tried everything there is to try and I have given up.
Try keeping the headset plugged in and see if it receives power/will connect to the computer
Are you using bluetooth or the dongle to connect?
All good. I fixed it. The problem was that the dongle suddenly stopped working. I guess because its been plugged in to the same port for so long? So i plugged it into another port on my laptop and now it all works perfectly. But if i try to plug it into that same port as before, it wonāt work anymore. So Iām good now but I shouldnāt of had to do that.
Steel series, sell your tape
hey guys i just got the steelseries nova pro the mic isnt getting picked up anywhere i already installed sonar
Rebuilding server lol
Archived rate clip
I think they will remove product ideas
Oh no
They removed sugestions
I mean #moments-clips still exists. It was always kinda dumb to have 2 separate clips channels that did the same thing
And we rolled all of the suggestion and request channels into one #1070392859125104660 channel with specific tags for hardware and software suggestions
There was a lot of redundant and unused channels hanging around so the Discord guys are finally getting around to cleaning it all up to make the server more streamlined
And yeah #1070392859125104660 is for everything now
Ok
I have a suggestion maybe creat information channel about discord changes
It would be good
I have a SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. The GG software is installed and I use it on the PC. Now to my question: The software updates of the GG software are displayed to me when a new one is available, how do I update the headphones myself? Will this be displayed to me if one is available? Do I have to have the headphones connected via USB to check or do this? Thanks in advance
@fading walrus check the "engine" tab š
Ok, and there will be the update info also when im not connectet with usb c?
The last message is this by me 
Why this is happen to my GG software after update to 31.0.0?
I already reinstall GG software
im having issues with sonar, its not giving me the option to actually enable using the arctis nova pros
Yes, if an update is available u will be promted to connect both (headset & basestation) over USB.
thx
Any suggestions for how I should cable manage this situation? I cannot imagine my soundbar being located anywhere but right there in my current situation
As you can see table space is bit limited
Put keyboard cable around sound bar to match mousepad Cable
Or put keyboard cable below sound bar
Get a wireless keyboard? :P
just
drill a hole in the desk
then put the cable under
thats what im gonna do
how good is this wireless headset https://www.amazon.ca/Black-Shark-Bluetooth-Headphones-Ultra-Clear/dp/B09V854PX8/ref=sr_1_9?crid=1G2ALSGR97KEK&keywords=BINNUNE+wireless+headset&qid=1675325635&s=electronics&sprefix=binnune+wireless+headset%2Celectronics%2C75&sr=1-9
idk
Mods eat half of the chat room category
Any idea, where I can find older mac versions of GG or Engine? The newest one seems to be broken
Lol actually having the same situation here. I just pust my soundbar on the monitar stand which created a little gap, not visible from above
can someone give me a good enough explanation on why my steelseries mouse just randomly stopped working after 4 months
is there a way to repair it without voiding the warranty
because i will not wait up to 6 months to get it back
You're dopey
is the gamedac thats so hard for me to use and plus the EQ stuff on the sonar gg program as well
best suggestion I can give is to get a new cable, either an L shaped plug or a coiled cable, kinda like these
i have no idea on who to ask for help with my headset problem
@stark rampart help me
This Gamedac for my headset is very hard for me to use
am i spose to figure this out on my own
You're very welcome to ask others for help in #1047622297382567936
If you're expecting support to personally teach you how to use the headset then you have very unrealistic expectations
any of you guys enjoying JBMod
community support is so very slow
yeah well people aren't getting paid to help in community support
there is steelseries staff members signed into this discord server
i have no idea what to do
please help me out here
Nope, the promo ended :)
Are all new steelseries keyboards mechanical?
Or are there any non-mechanical alternatives?
Thank you!
it might be 3 years until i get reply to my question
real company ask staff members for help
Plz restock on the red booster pack for the nova 7
I will die happy if I can buy them
how come staff do not help out people on here
There's no support from SteelSeries here, this is purely a community server. You need to submit a #official-support ticket on the website if you want help from SteelSeries
With that said, support is for problems with products, not to teach you how to use them. That's up to yourself to handle :)
you can likely find usage instructions either in the box, on the website, or through youtube
Yeah :)
in sonor why isnt there a battlefield 2042 present? or am i clueless. dm pz
i dont
does anyone know when the giveaway is over
razer way better day 2
The day has come
Im looking for a headset that has really good around sound but also a good mic for PlayStation and pc does anyone have suggestions
nvm i fixed it
What do you need help with I can probably help you out. I have been doing computer repairs and electronics for 20+ years
I highly suggest the Arctis Nova 7 wireless. That's personally what I am using well I use the 7X wireless but same difference. Great sound and Battery last forever as well as the mic is good for in game chats.
I have the arctis 7p+ wireless rn but itās broken because I canāt turn it off but it also stays mute when I press it itās really annoying idk what to do thatās why Iām looking for a new one
Ya the new Nova line is way better than the older versions I can guarantee that cause buddy of mine actually had the same issue you did also. I went with the Nova pro wireless at first but the ear piece for the anc was annoying so i switched it up to the 7X wireless and will never look back better battery don't have to hot swap batteries or anything like that.
What about the arctis nova pro High-Res
The 7X you get the same sound quality as you do with the Nova pro the bass is actually better in the 7X than it is in the nova pro and there are multiple people that have stated that not just my opinion
Could u please send me a link so I can see the headset because there are alot with names that look alike
Ya no problem here ya go. https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-7x
Also just so you know even though it says xbox it does work with every other console and handheld including phone and switch and steam deck.
Okay thank you very much
no problem need anything else just ask
There is also a PlayStation version that changes the x to a p does it make a difference or is it just colors
In that situation, I believe it would not be xbox compatible due to xbox needing a certain type of security chip or whatever
It's just the colors that will change for the xbox you will get the normal Green and the playstation you will get the normal Blue for it. I personally ordered the Grey band and the grey ear pads directly from steelseries cause I am using it for my xbox series x, PS5, nintendo switch, steam deck, 3080Ti gaming PC, phone, oled tv
The Playstation version will only work with Playstation and PC though as where the Xbox version with the X will work with all consoles and phones and everything else you can think of.
Ty very much
No problem me personally even if I didn't have an xbox I would still get the X version just cause if a friend comes over and they may have an xbox than your able to still use the headset and it makes it universal ya know.
Yo I just bought it but I can hear myself and donāt know how to turn that off do you know how I can do that ?
Im on ps5 btw
If someone knows please tell me
Might be the one that has a sidetone volume knob on the headset itself?
This is the one I got
Hi,
Today I discovered the steelseries sonar app would anyone be willing to help me with eq settings etc. ?
The headset I have is ISK HD9999
Does anyone have any ready-made eq settings for e.g. The Witcher 3?
hello any setups for my stealsearies artic 3 ?
i love the hot swap batteries
i got the nova pro wireless and i had the old normal pro wireless before it
I just don't like the placement of the charging port and than having 8 seconds to make sure your headset doesn't turn off. I rather just charge it and go ya know.
any helps to configuring this settings???
anyone with the old arctis 7 wireless bought the new nova pro wireless and is there a big difference ? I am thinking about upgrading but idk yet
this prob isnt the right place for this or its been asked a million times but i had pet damage happen to my arctis 7 wireless transmitter is there a way to use it without having to buy a new transmitter?
did your pet piss on it XD
It comes with a audio cable that you can use? :)
Just keep in mind that it's a combo jack so you either need a compatible combojack port or a splitter for the mic to work
my cat chewed the wire in half, i do not have that cord anymore but i bought a replacement off amazon but it is not currently working when plugged into my audio ports. came with a splitter as well.
does it not work with anything other than the one provided?
no want help XD
The audio cable uses a SteelSeries specific plug in one end unfortunately
would that specific plug be the one you put into the headset or the splitter?
so aggravating that even if i order a new transmitter it wouldnt be here for another 3 weeks :/
Headset
It's the one that kinda looks like a micro usb
the cord i have fits in the headset fine, but even if it fits it has to be the steelseries one?
if so then very unlucky
Just has to have the plug
There might be off brand ones that work with it
Keep in mind not to turn the headset on when using it this way
so when using it this way it should just work despite not being powered on like a normal headset would? the cord fits in the headset fine, i put it into the splitter and plugged both into my computer but still having issues so maybe it just doesnt work or my drivers may be scuffed or something
Yeah, power isn't needed as it's acting as a normal wired analogue headset
yeah i got everything plugged in now and the headset is off but my audio settings dont pick up the headset at all and continue to play out of my monitor unfortunately.
Have you tried it with a different device?
If I go to the SteelSeries gg on pc and make the sidetone 0 in engine will that also be there on ps5 ?
i do not have any other form of headphones to plug into my computer at the moment to test. i know the headset works fine its just the transmitter that is damaged, and the cord fits fine into the headsets micro usb port, then it gets put into a splitter then put into my motherboard, but still no audio and audio continues to play through my monitor. i guess ill have to look at a new headset or replace my transmitter.
Does anyone know if you can still get the 3 months of nitro
yea
apologies for the ping. turns out i didnt have my audio drivers installed from when i formatted my harddrives, audio now works but ive ran into the issue that the microphone doesn't work. any clues?
does it have good quailty when speaking into it when the dongle is plugged in?
i have heard the quality is not the best when through bluetooth
The Nitro promo has ended unfortunately
No worries. How is it connected?
bluethooth is trash
pluggin by cable or usb drive
what about when the dongle is plugged in?
My aerox 3 wireless only illuminates when its not being moved no matter what setting and while i have illumination off
both ends of the splitter are plugged into the respective ports on my motherboard. do you know if there is some sort of mic drivers i may be missing or does the arctis 7's mic not work when wired like this?
the cord goes from the splitter to the headset via the microusb port on the arctis 7 headset
this stops when i close fully close steelseries GG
lol
That's entirely motherboard dependent
heya
I also cannot update the mouse because i have to plug the dongle and what not into the adapter then "press enter to continue" but that just doesnt do anything
i have an asrock z390 pro4, looking at the drivers available im not seeing anything audio besides the one i just downloaded that allowed the headset to work.
Is it related with the fact that steelseries has its own software that I cant access windows config to headphones?
I'm having issues enabling the sidetone for my arctis 5 headset, im in the engine on the gg software and ive set it to high but i still cant hear myself at all through the headset
if anyone could help it would be appreciated
can someone point me in the right direction of fixing my mouses rgb before i trash it

Anyone having recent LED dimming / ducking on key press on Apex Pro TKL wireless 2023??? It just started yesterday for me, and no setting changes are helping! Its acting like the "FADE" preset under the "Reactive" options even though I have it set to off. It shouldnt do anything on key press. Its driving me mad! Please @ me
hey i was wondering if anyone had a good sonar config for nova pro wireless for rust. would rlly appreciate it!

Hi
My laptop came with a mute button and I would like it if that mute button worked to mute all audio for Sonar, not just the game track. Does anyone know of a way or a keyboard combo which will mute all audio? Thanks!
Does anyone know how to setup Arctic Nova Pro with a GoXLR and have it for a dual streaming pc?
My secret perversity is watching these "minecraft in ohio" tiktoks. While watching them, a pleasant discomfort fills me.
Does the steel series Tusq earbuds work with series s Xbox?
I mean the microphone does it detect it?
Hey if anyone is looking for the Nova Pro Wireless for xbox Newegg currently has them in stock right now. Get them quickly before they are gone. I am only saying this since Steelseries website is currently out of stock right now.
Can i get free nitro
no
That feature is only available on the Nova headset line, not the old Arctis Pro
.
hey y'all, I know it's general, but I didn't want to create a ticket for this
my arctis pro is failing (turned off mic records everything) and bought a new nova 7 yesterday. dunno how but it sounds way better, I can hear footsteps in pubg. lol
something bugs me a little though. the mic is terrible and my friends can hear themselves or any video I watch etc. on discord
tried to configure it, with no luck
I have the Nova pro with wire (received yesterday) and after several hours straight wearing them they were very comfortable
Hello i would like to ask
I just buy SS arctis 9 , i want to ask about the dongle. Is it okay to just keep it plug in 24 hours ?
I keep seeing the dongle flashing white color, just out of curiosity
not jumping ship yet, but it is getting harder and harder lately
If anyone with years of experience with arctis 9 please give me some answer thank you š
Is this really it? The PRISM tab only recognize the Aerox 3 but not my Apex 7 and mouse pad?
oh man
I just saw the list haha yeah so maybe in the futrue
and yes the auto clip for warzone is not working
HARIBIO!!!
So, i formatted my PC and out of nowhere chat mix is not working properly, it works like a volume slider.
I tried everything, including sonar and nothing helps
Chatmix in the app obviously works porperly (:
but not the one on my headphones
If I have moments on. my game is laggie What is the reason for this?
@vague rock Its probably recording in the background and your CPU might not be able to handle it
steelseries system monitor stopped
How do you fix it?
I ran it as a task manager.
hey! im looking for help with GG, where should I ask?
You're very welcome to help people :)
Good mornin!
Wdym?
You can't run programs from Task Manager?
I deleted it and downloaded it again, and it works.
I just want sonar to pick up my mic hhh
thx
Natural RGB
Anyone there who has knowledge about the sonar software?
Don't ask to ask :)
Ao, is it normal i use the sonar software for obs - but if i turn down the volume in sonar, it also turns down in the stream e.g. with voicemeeter it worked find
hiii
how do i make my mic work in games with sonar, but also so i cant hear it myself
like i wanna play and use game chat, but as of rn to use game chat i would have to be able to hear myseld
My screen appears brown when I enter the application solution!
Have you turned off sidetone?
It is off on my gamedac, is that an option in sonar i can turn off?
I don't think so
Huh? Can you please elaborate, thanks.
Maybe make a post in #1047622297382567936 with a picture of it :)
The app is installing? What's the issue lol
no one own arctis 9 in here ?
YupYup
my internet went out as soon as I tried sending it, today's not going my way T-T

it worked now
Not sure why you are posting pictures of the installer?
Same here. 
And doxing yourself a little bit by sharing your full name
Madre
Can i set up that i can set down the volume only on my headset and not in the stream in Sonar?
Not sure what that language is but I don't think it's English? Which is the only language you should be using here :)
I don't think so?
But you should be able to adjust the volume in OBS (or other streaming software)
Yes, but the input sound is too less if i set it down on my headphones
it just installed right? i'd just give it a minute to start up
Maybe restart your computer after installation
It doesn't work either
You try to open it as Administrator
Okay, try
He does not want to enter
End the task over the task manager and restart as Administrator
Now I will try
@opal fossil how it works?
@stark rampart is there a way to introduce new features for sonar end steelseries gg?
You can make suggestions in #1070392859125104660
Ah i see thanks
its actually impossible to put these ear cushions back on
Gm does anyone have a video for the best directional sound settings? I have the artis nova pro wireless. I get zero directional sound.
yea its directional sound is bad but i mean theres the spatial sound setting in the steelseries gg app it sacrafices some quality but if ur hardcore gaming or something u might wanna try it out
I did and I have it on and did a bunch of testing and nothing
i need help
with my keyboard
My oled screen is not working
and my lightning on my keyboard turns red for like 10 min
and then back to normal
PLEASE HELP
whats this?
whats the UK US AND OTHER STUFF
i cant reset my keyboard bc my oled screen aint working
that is what keyboard layout it is
(I believe)
hey lad's anyone with arena 7/9 that cant use the reflect app anymore? i can turn it on but it does not work since last update.
bro my oled screen aint working
help me please
i dont understand anything
maybe we can go in a call?
@stark rampart can you help me?
Best not to ping mods directly...
And I think Lennart is a busy dude with his irl job (epic job btw if you see this Lennart)
bro
i think
when i start a game "rust" my keyboard turns red
and then it crash the game "rust"
I'm busy at work (not SteelSeries) so I'm afraid I can't. Also #rules :)
What is this? Kindergarten? "If he could do it then I can too"
Yes?
A moderator is NOT support
Mods do not work for SteelSeries
random stuff stop working
The only way you can get help from SteelSeries is through a #official-support ticket
i treat my keyboard so good
and my oled stop working
my keyboard makes games crash
holy
The role of a moderator is to enforce the rules, not to help people, they can choose to help those they wish, but it is not part of their "official" responsibilities lmao
i dont know how too, on the mail thing
hope your day's going well Lennart :)
Well, you have two options here @untold cobalt
You can either make a post in #1047622297382567936 and get help from others or you can send in a support ticket on the website for help from SteelSeries
na bros ignoring me
i done so much
ive looked everywhere
and they all say "reset keyboard on the oled menu"
well my oled isnt working
so i cant do anything
Have you sent in a support ticket?
I'm not your bro, friend
i dont know to do that
Now that I can work with. Click the black message icon on the site, go through the bot's questions and submit a ticket
Clearly didn't get the reference :P
well
sonar is using alot of cpu for me, is there a way i can lower that or, is that just the way it is
Now you have your next step :)
Okay?
I have no idea how to fix your issue and so I don't try to help because I can't
How about you send me one?
Makes the same amount of sense :D
Or did you miss the part about me not working for SteelSeries?
u can just take one for free man
No?
man i paid like $200
For that you will need to open an RMA ticket on the steelseries website, contacting somebody that does actually work for steelseries
it feels like i bought a moldy banana
Okay, this conversation ends here. Go make a support ticket on the website, I've done my best to tell you how
I DONT KNOW HOW TOO
i dont understand
I told you how to do it?
anything
https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us just follow this
Get a friend, family, adult or something to help you :)
How much?
during gaming, going over 10% sometimes, on a game i normally run at 140 ish frames a second i was running at 30-40 fps
ive read all the things
and its so hard
like
It really isn't
woah
then top left of the website, theres a big button that says "my tickets" and "contacts us" they should both be able to help u
lmao wut?
I've already told you what to do if you can't figure it out
This ends here
One more message and you will get a timeout.
Have a good day Lennart
tbh is hyperx good?
You haven't gotten help because you haven't asked them for it
Lennart does not work for SS
the keyboard
well all i know
i mean its just the operating system- windows, mac, linux
it that i have a apex 7 tkl red switch
at the end is the language
huh
Snoopy what keyboard layout do you have
how do i look?
@stark rampart do you think we could continue about the cpu usage of sonar please?
u make me sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad
?? are you going to help me sir
not my job to do, also i dont know much about what your problem even is
nor do i really want to help 
I'm not really sure what can cause that, sorry
Have you tried reinstalling?
ah alright, i'll just have to uninstall then because I cannot use that much cpu
yeah
Unfortunately this promotion has ended
will it happen again
can the steelseries transmitter work like a sound card to record instruments?
it wasn't the first time this promotion has happened

The SteelSeries twitter most likely

Does the NOVA pro designed for XBOX for for PC?

Hey, can someone who is good with audio/microphones help me troubleshoot my microphone? I have an arctis 9 wireless and all my friends are saying its sounding worse than my old arctis 5 headset, i'm trying to use Steelseries GG Sonar to make it sound better, but i cant really tell how it sounds and i dont know anyone who knows audio really well, they're all saying there's something 'wrong' with it but they cant pinpoint what it is.
you might have to go to your keyboard settings on the steelseries.gg application and see if you have it disabled.
ok ty

lemme give that a go thanks
yeah nw š
Is it possible to find moments that you recorded on your pc to your phone
If you export the clips, and send them on a message app (e.g discord or WhatsApp) you can then download them, but you can't find it directly in a mobile SS app or anything
i personally send clips to my phone via KDE Connect (Windows's Your Phone but better in every way)
Have you tried closing the app in task manager, then opening it again?
So how do I suggest a product design?
just did that, also i tried to log out then in or create new account, just dont load ;c
my stratus xl isnt connecting via bluetooth help @slender river
#1070392859125104660 you can use this channel to suggest both software features and hardware (product) designs
Assuming you may already have tried rebooting your pc, after trying that you may need to uninstall GG and reinstall it
can someone please help with my arctis nova pro wired? I sent one back already because I cant seem to get it to work and now the second one is still giving me issues. I have muffled audio and it will not pick up my mic
my stratus xl isnt connecting via bluetooth help @slender river
It takes a bit of EQ fiddling
I can't help with that dude sry
@slender river thanks I seemed to have gotten the audio to work but my mic is still not being picked up by discord
I got mine the other day, and I haven't worked out how to make the microphone loud enough to be properly audible (so if anyone knows how to help with that @ me please - mic volume is up on dac + sonar) but do you have it set in sonar?
can someone help me please
my rival 650 wireless scroll wheel led keeps flashing green even though it is fully charged

Hello
I cant seem to find āgearā on the engine
Trying to change my colors on the mousepad i just got
have you fixed the issue?
usually right clicking the ssound and making sure the mic is setup helps, worst case select another mic and then switch back as sometimess mics/headsetss can bug
open the noor
Dumb question but if Iām using the included 3.5mm cable with my nova pro wireless, what end goes into the headset? The 5 pole or the 4 pole angled?
hello everyone. I have my Arctis Nova Pro Wired...when I have been gaming I always select " Headphones Arctis Nova Pro " Not any of the other outputs it installed like gaming,, chat, media....this is correct right? Also I have made some profiles under the Sonar App when clicking on the left hand side " Engine "..I mad some configurations there that I can just pick the drop down....I also notice that on the left is the Sonar section and also an editor for Game, Chat, Media, Microphone. Also with preconfigured dropdowns for alot of game titles. Should I be making changes in there and making configurations or am I ok doing it under the Engine section?
the angled versionh goes into the DAC....the straight end goes into the headset
Not sure what the difference is between WDM, KS and MME but I would say that it is
Anyone got advice on cleaning keyboards?
That might be helpful :)
I was confused by the date at first "01.09.2023" but then I remembered.. Americans 
So does the mute button just not work on the nova pros or what bc this is my second pair
At this point Iām guessing itās just for looks
Works for me on my wireless ones š¤·āāļø
I have the wired ones for xbox
It's not much of a solution but isn't there a mic mute function in Xbox?
yeah i suppose i'll just have to resort to that
Make sure to send in a #official-support ticket if you don't find a solution
Hello
I can't use this feature, what's wrong?
Why does the receiver for my arctis 7 insist on blinking by default
I have to turn it off every time I switch my headphones from my PS5 to my computer
And Steel series GG - engine is horrible
The headphones are excellent
I like them a lot
yeah idk sometimes it is pretty bad, but the actual peripherals are great lol
up to you and your needs and preferences
No problem!
like of course any of the more expensive ones are gonna be better in some way, but it doesn't mean you always have to upgrade. its really important to consider your financial situation as money isn't seemingly infinite yk, at least for most people
im pretty sure its english only
:(.
yeah
they don't have many staff for their discord and they probably don't want people going around saying vulgar stuff in other languages, its the same for most discord servers
not that you would or anything
I joined Terraria yesterday w/ my new apex 7 and saw special terraria lighting effects without configuring them. I love it, any other games that have that?
Open Engine, and before you select gear, go to the "Apps" tab for a full list of games that can be given special configs
minecraft doesnt work for me for some reason, the others i dont own copies of
It takes having that mod installed... (Idk if you tried that)
that mod? as in mc mod? like .jar?
cus if not, i did try that stuff to enable it
and stuff
?
real
why the hell is steelseries so expensive though
i bought 2 things and its already 400 euros
i mean i love my headset and keyboard but why that expensive
because people will buy it
Still on this issue. Tried many things today, and nothing.
And it's specific to this computer
Not even a fresh install fixed it
Hi
Why is apple so expensive?
Steelseries is lvl 1 expensive, apple is lvl 5
Exactly but people buy apple so they can raise ther prices that high
true
In the grand scheme of ālatest flagship smartphoneā it really isnāt.
The iPhone 14 and Galaxy S23 both start at around $799, but Samsungās higher-end phones are more expensive. The S23 Plus costs $999.99, which is $100 more than Appleās iPhone 14 Plus, while the S23 Ultra has an MSRP of $1,199.99 ā $200 more than the iPhone 14 Pro and $100 more than the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
ok
ok
Sa
tried their email? i know their products are good but yes their support and delivery times are horrible and the worst i seen from a huge company
i have steel series arctis 7 and something happend and the thing on headset that mute friends isnt working on discord
Okey so i literally opened up my steelseries artics 7 because (sorry steelseries i probably don't understand anything of the support thing) steelseries support thing is not quite good at all ā¤ļø but isn't there supposed to be anything there in the red circle? Like for the reset button?
XDDDDD
hello is there someone with the steelseries nova 7 wireless who can help maybe please i would really appreciate it
is there a way to change the rgb for the right headphone? its stuck on green for me
can i ask you a question?
i bought the pair not too long ago less then a week and i have a really annoying static noise like couldn't find anything on google i tried hard reset didn't work for too long i tried to change locations and pc's didn't work i did format today to my pc didn't work aswell have any idea what it is and how i can solve it i would really appreciate it
Same here
I'll do the replace
In addition a clipping on the left speaker
Since december
I didn't want to replace them but it's too expensive to keep it wrong
I hope to get one correctly and I won't buy again like this
Worst experience ever
I'll buy in stores in my country over another way
xD
Warranty I will use today
To replace it
Next time u don't buy like this
Never again
Use your warranty
And change it for a good one
They don't give back the money
its the first pair of steelseries i own
i bought it because i heard alot of good recommendations
The first and the last
but less then a day i started to hear static noise
quite the same
I won't keep a broken headset
same
hope at least to get a replacement
because i just bought them and they are not cheap
I currently have ran into an issue, I have an arctis pro wireless and in the past I could use clearcast with sonar, but now the clearcast toggle itās grayed out. Any assistance in the matter would be most appreciated
i need fix for this after the last update it disconnected
