Odd solution that sometimes works for infinitely loading things with GG, https://steelseries.com/gg/download don’t uninstall, but just close out of gg (even quitting out of it in your hidden items arrow thing in the bottom right of windows). Then run the installer (without uninstalling) and it should hopefully repair some bad files in your gg folders without deleting any existing files (I do this whenever I have issues and it works most of the time)

[prime bronze]

alright let me try that

still loading

[stray axle]

facts

[celest hedge]

At that point then if it matters to you I’d sadly reinstall completely to get it to work. I don’t really know what else to say for a tricky situation like this sadly.

[scenic vortex]

Oh yes, I understand

[glossy escarp]

Great, you probably wouldn't find many Brazilians here, you might be able to find a Brazilian server tho

[upbeat trout]

I have an issue with my keyboard where I can't press anything and the part where the screen isn't lighting up or the keys lighting up. The button to turn on the menu isn't working. When I plug it in only a few keys light up for a second but turn off after like half a second.

[astral girder]

thank you

[upbeat trout]

Oh and I can't type or interact with anything

I'm using my spare for emergencies.

[lapis bison]

Well if you like wireless then go for the ultimate, if you don't care about wires then i suggest viper mini

Viper mini is hella cheap and is incredibly good for its price

Ultimate (the wireless version) is just as good but costlier

https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Viper-Ultralight-Ambidextrous-Gaming/dp/B08QVM2JMQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=27S998913X1OX&keywords=razer+viper&qid=1681704509&sprefix=razer+v%2Caps%2C393&sr=8-3

[pseudo robin]

Does the ultimate come with its charging?

[lapis bison]

Either of these

[lapis bison]

Yeah

You can charge it while playing

Like a wired mouse

[pseudo robin]

Ah so you plug it in

Noice

[lapis bison]

I personally like viper mini but if you got money then you could go for ultimate

[lapis bison]

You can

It's wireless

But can run wired too

[pseudo robin]

I was using my friend corsair it was wireless but very chappy idsay

[lapis bison]

Yeah no i don't like corsairs

Only bought a headset from them which was ass

I can comment on Razer products coz i have loads of them

[pseudo robin]

I got a hyperx headset

[lapis bison]

My setup looks Razer sponsored

[pseudo robin]

Lol

[lapis bison]

I am thinking of getting cloud core

Currently got a Razer kraken 7.1

[pseudo robin]

But I had it only for 2 days

And it started glitching so bad

[lapis bison]

Ic

Which one

[pseudo robin]

Hol up

It's looks like that my friend gave it

Gtg

[lapis bison]

Thats probably a core 2

Or a core 2 stinger

[pseudo robin]

It was used so I knew what to except

Have a great day now

[pseudo robin]

How old is it?

[frosty sparrow]

[visual bluff]

Does anyone feel the sifference between a 300 and a 450ips mouse?

[digital warren]

Anyone experience with the nova pro wireless? Is the sound good compare to other wireless headphones? And is the comfort good? Thx for help. My last hope to find a good wireless headphone.

[jolly timber]

does anyone play rainbow six siege with artic nova pros

[patent wharf]

No but i do play rainbow💀

[visual bluff]

I recommend any steelsiries, i have the artis 7+ and its perfect, nova can be just better

[digital warren]

Do you have the standard ear pads?

I read that much people bought other ear pads because the normal are uncomfortable

[upbeat trout]

I have an issue where I can't press anything and the part where the screen isn't lighting up nor the keys lighting up. The button to turn on the menu isn't working. When I plug it in only a few keys light up for a second but turn off and I can't interact with anything like pressing windows key does nothing typing nothing.

[unkempt skiff]

What if

They bring back

Apex M800 but TKL and none of the extra 0 12345 macro keys on the side and instead of the huge steelseries logo maybe an oled to replace it?

[velvet breach]

Hello everyone! I just bought the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. How can I listen to hifi music? I have Tidal but through the doc thingy I see that I'm only getting 48kHz/ 24 bits

I'm sorry for just dropping a question

[pliant nebula]

I think the high res I trough wired

[onyx river]

Where can I get help with setting up 360 audio on steelseries artic 9x console?

[velvet breach]

should I plug it to the computer or to the doc switch thing that it came with?

[pliant nebula]

You could try and see if something changes.

I haven't tried high res yet

[onyx river]

Do people actually help in this server?

[iron prawn]

Sometimes

[onyx river]

Been asking for help for about 2 days, no one answered.

[tepid gorge]

help for what

[onyx river]

help with setting up 360 audio on steelseries artic 9x console

[tepid gorge]

riop

[onyx river]

?

[tepid gorge]

rip

[pliant nebula]

They don't. Have asked the same questions for days without answers. Same as reddit.

[onyx river]

Did you end up finding anywhere that does provide help>

?

[pliant nebula]

Tried asking SteelSeries themself but still waiting for them to answer

[onyx river]

Don't suppose you know anything about directional audio on console do you?

[pliant nebula]

I don't, but games usually have their own sound engines, so usually I just leave it alone. Dolby Atmos or SteelSeries own surround trough SteelSeries GG usually doesn't provide my experience with anything new.

[onyx river]

I'm struggling with the whole footsteps on COD i hear minimum to zero at all.

[fallow lotus]

I want to make sure I post to the correct room, so which room would I be able to post a suggestion or feedback in?

[spring tide]

I bought ARCTIS NOVA 1 headset couple days ago by a Technology Market but the mic doesnt work. I installed the Sonar Application by the original website of SteelSeries. I tried every way to make it ok but couldn't make it. Can someone help me?

[zenith osprey]

Artic Nova 7 wireless doesnt work, anyone know how too fix??

[pseudo robin]

Everyone is having problems with there artic novas

Faulty stuff might of happened during the making of the artic novas

I am not sure this is just my guess

[nocturne pelican]

Hi guys, does anyone knows if there is anyway to hear both ports 1 and 2 at the same time? I don't know what i did but my artics nova pro wireless got glitched and I was hearing both pc's at the same time, i want to replicate but not sure if its there anyway to force this or configuration to do it.

[nimble wadi]

so its just not a me problem?

Bluetooth cannot be shut off or be connected, pc connects to the headset through the dongle, doesnt play any sound even though sonar recognizes there is sound playing

[ocean dagger]

i have this of it and can comfirm can charge and play

[obsidian pelican]

i went over to support and looked there but i couldent do anything there so for the steelclips it only clips for certain games how do i clip for more games?

like for minecraft

[pseudo robin]

Is that v1 or v2 sorry I'm new to the technology stuff

[spice drum]

i think v2

[obsidian pelican]

plz help

[fossil schooner]

hello i need some help for settup my Arctis 5 for have a nice sound on discord or whatever plz help me ^^

[dawn ledge]

how do i make it so that sonar startsup when my Pc starts up

cuz when i start my pc, i need to open the client in order for sonar to start

without sonar, my headphones sound really bad, sonar enhances the sound to hear footsteps better

[keen pine]

Enable launch on startup in GG settings

[ocean dagger]

im not sure just tried to look it up it doesnt say v1 or v2

@pseudo robin i think its v2 maybe

[civic orbit]

i need help with getting rid of noise suppression/canceling in my steel series arctic 5 headphones.

[tight dagger]

How do I hook up two base stations for the nova pro wireless? Do I use a 3.5mm cord on the line in/out

[storm mauve]

every time i boot up my pc my sonar playback devices changes from my headset to other audio devices, i have to manually select my steelseries headset for game,chat,media,aux,mic , how do i make it select my steel series headset automatically … i dont want to have to select my headset each time i boot my pc up

[scenic flume]

Are the newer Nova headsets better in the hinge design than the older Arctis wireless pros? Had my pros for about 2-3 years now and are just now actually breaking (like plastic completely cracking off the headset), started noticing cracks less than a year into owning them so I made sure to try and take EXTRA care for em but now they're breaking and I will need a new set

[limber badger]

they said they changed the design of it so, maybe, havent seen any break so far.

[scenic flume]

I hope I can get another RMA for it then... It's wild to me to spend $350 on a headset for it to start cracking less than a year into owning it

I was supposed to get another pair but at the time I RMAd it, it was out of stock for like 2 months, so they gave me store credit of the same value, which is really nice

[slender brook]

i went through 4 pro wirelesses in 2 years

[vivid hull]

Yo im new here and this is probably asked alot but in sonar can I change the default output to media without sonar crying about it

[slender brook]

no

[vivid hull]

yea okay that rocks

nice design

[ember rain]

as a nova owner i'd not recommend it to others based purely on the bad software(which the arctis7 did not require) without sonar installer you wont be able to use the hardware chat/game mix dial. I dunno how they managed to go backwards with functionality to be honest.... very disappointing for $400AUD

just to add to this sonar no longer can see the other audio channels on my PC. Chat/game/media totally missing after several uninstalls and reinstalls.
So as of the moment it functions the same as any 30$ headset mic combo but costs 400 bucks.

[slender brook]

where are the audio channels missing from?

selection in sonar? or windows?

[ember rain]

in sonar, they show in windows normally

[slender brook]

they arent supposed to show up in sonar

the device you select in sonar determines where audio put into that channel gets sent

[ember rain]

yes they are sir

[slender brook]

respectfully, you are wrong

[ember rain]

im afraid you misunderstand or something mate

[slender brook]

no

[ember rain]

yes

[slender brook]

thats how its supposed to be

[ember rain]

no it is not lol

[slender brook]

why would you output audio put into the sonar game channel back into the sonar game channel?

instead of your headset

[ember rain]

there is NO sonar game channel in sonar

[slender brook]

its right there

you cant select a sonar device IN sonar

you select your headset

[ember rain]

or chat or miedia as i said hence sonar cannot route anything

[slender brook]

it can

if you select to route into the sonar audio channels

which get output into the headset you have selected

[ember rain]

bro respectfully you are mistaken, i have a ticket open with SS currently and many other with this same issue

[slender brook]

there is literally nothing wrong, the screenshot shows that it's working as intended

i cant help you if you dont want to get helped

[ember rain]

you cant help cos you dont understand the problem mate.

[slender brook]

how are you even having a problem right now?

[ember rain]

have a nice day

[slender brook]

hm yes, let me plug a power strip into itself

[ember rain]

listen hear mate, i dont just randomly post in a SS discord cos it makes me feel good if the thing was working properly i would not be here. Good day sir.

[slender brook]

i have a feeling that you just dont understand how sonar works, but you do you

[ember rain]

go "help" someone else please.

[slender brook]

THE SONAR DEVICES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SHOW UP IN SONAR

sorry

something got into me

[main glen]

anyone knows why my clips keeps getting deleted even tho i didnt do anything

:((

[gilded oyster]

Why are steel series products so buggy when it comes to updating? Ive had a aerox 3 wireless for less than a week and now it keeps flashing red and telling me to update, and even when I do update it, it says my product is unusable

i cant even factory reset the mouse

[ember rain]

@slender brook please stop giving wrong info mate https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/articles/5568927935757-Chatmix-Setup-for-Single-and-Dual-Endpoints

[slender brook]

thats for the arctis pro wireless which has hardware chat and game devices

if you read the name of the device, you will notice that it does not say sonar

you, as the owner of a nova 7 headset, will simply select that singular audio device on all the sonar channels

[ember rain]

i have a hardware chat mix matey

[slender brook]

a wheel yes, but the headset does not show up as multiple devices

[ember rain]

it did when i first installed GG and worked correctly

[slender brook]

it would have not worked if the sonar devices showed up in sonar

[ember rain]

you are trying to tell me when it worked and when it didn't?

my goodness

we're doomed

[slender brook]

i'm sorry but the sonar devides are not supposed to show up as options to output to in sonar, it's as simple as that

[ember rain]

what did u break into my house and use it?

listen to what you are saying... i know when it was working correctly and when it broke. you do not.

[slender brook]

this selects the device that plays the audio that is sent to the "Sonar - Gaming" audio device. if you selected "Sonar - Gaming" here, it would simply send the audio into itself, causing a loop

[ember rain]

you dont even have a steelseries headset lol

im leave you be now good luck in life

[slender brook]

brb

notice how here it says "Arctis Pro Wireless Game", not Sonar Gaming

[gilded oyster]

anyone know how to fix this?

[slender brook]

i would recommend contacting #official-support

[nimble zealot]

can anyone help me out ? i have music coming from the game channel i want it to be coming from the media channel

[slender brook]

make the program you're using for music use the sonar media channel in windows audio settings

https://steelseries.com/blog/how-to-separate-game-chat-media-sound-audio-888

[gilded oyster]

is there a number i can call them at

[slender brook]

not that i'm aware of

[gilded oyster]

L

[nimble zealot]

doesnt work

[gilded oyster]

are steelseries products usually this buggy?

[nimble zealot]

thats what im thinking to lmao

[slender brook]

sonar is... an interesting piece of software

i don't know about their new mice either, but i've had like no problems with my keyboard

[gilded oyster]

i mean come on, i spend like $100 on a new mouse and I cant even use it because of some bug

whats the point of updating a mouse? it makes no sense

[obtuse bear]

my arctis 7+ aren’t pairing to my pc

[gilded oyster]

do you guys know if their customer service is as bad as their products cuz im not tryna deal with this

[upbeat trout]

Part of my apex 5 ainy lighting up

[clever sparrow]

Hello everynyan, I want to know if anyone knows of ways to protect ears from the hard stuff in the Arctis Pro Wireless headphones that presses on your ears? It's kind of like a noisemaker, but I'm not sure about that. I have been using these headphones for two weeks and my ears really hurt. I've heard that replacing the ear cushions can help, does anyone know where i can order good ones in Europe which be to protect women's ears too?

[round tulip]

what should i buy from these 2?

i want it for gaming and to bass boosted music

[haughty halo]

https://tenor.com/view/ok-boomer-eyeroll-kid-little-girl-gif-15480346

@clever sparrow

[clever warren]

Better sound quality and latency

[timid notch]

Can someone sign my mousepad

[barren wyvern]

no dynamic actuation 😭

hopefully we get it next update

[hollow basin]

hello can someone please help me? my realme gt master smartphone doesnt work with the dongle can you fix this or not?

[wispy furnace]

Can someone help me with a Temu link

Please

[torpid coral]

If you really want to experience full bass, I'd recommend getting a Noise Cancelling, they are more expensive, but they do help in keeping the bass in, not out.

[round tulip]

so what headset did u recommend from these ?

nova 1 or prime?

[torpid coral]

Well, to be fair, they seem like the exact same, neither of them have NC tho.

[round tulip]

hmmm

[torpid coral]

They are great tho, give me a moment, I'll have a look at their specs.

[round tulip]

ok take your time mate

[torpid coral]

I don't understand a whole ton of Headsets and specs, but I'll try.

XD

[round tulip]

no worries xD

[torpid coral]

Well, Prime seems better.

It's also a later version.

Which means more has been done to make it better ofc.

[steel parrot]

Hey guys.

Anyone realize that SteelSeries GG detecting Spotify as Game?

[torpid coral]

These are some of the bonus-points I found the 1 doesn't have:

Has passive noise reduction
20000Hz higher high-frequency
40000Hz vs 20000Hz
10Hz lower low-frequency
10Hz vs 20Hz
Has a neodymium magnet
Edit:
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
Has a detachable cable
0.2m longer cable
1.5m vs 1.3m
Has a tangle free cable

[torpid coral]

You can change this in the settings of your PC.

Open your VolumeMixer and change the output to the right channel you want it to.
It's more or less a bug from SS' side.

[steel parrot]

Can you define "Change the output to the right channel" ?

Ok i found it -

[torpid coral]

My PC is in Dutch tho, I hope it'll be clear using Dutch screenshots...

Yeah, like that :D

[round tulip]

thank you so much mate, you really helped me well.

[torpid coral]

Just put it on Media

[steel parrot]

Yeap , i put on media already. 🙂

[torpid coral]

It was just a mere quick Google search LMAO

But, I do like helping out where I can.

[round tulip]

but it helped me so much

[torpid coral]

I know, do note the Prime can go up to 2x the price, but it's way more durable too.

Why?

As the connections to the Sound-Chambers are on top, and not on the side.
So they break less easily.

(I'm really selling these for SS themselves)

XD

[torpid coral]

Which you can also see here.

(Excuse my ping)

I know I can turn off the ping, but this is so you also see the messages above.

[round tulip]

oh yeah

i guess i'll take the prime

as u said it has more good things than nova 1

[torpid coral]

That's the main purpose of a newer version, which was modified.

Nova 1 came out later, but Prime seems to be more updated.

[round tulip]

yeah, you helped me so much i was gonna buy nova 1, I really appreciate you

[ember scaffold]

needing help the the audio and mic part of the app anyone willing to help??

[torpid coral]

What do you mean?

Since, to me, that sentence doesn't state a problem.

[ember scaffold]

so me and my husband game in the same room he uses a headset uni mic and i use a boom and im tryin to get the echo to go away when we do game together ive messed with some of the settings but it dont seem to work and thought id reach out here for help

[torpid coral]

Echo as in, you hear yourself twice when in a call...?

Or...?

[ember scaffold]

yes when in party chat i can hear myself though his mic and he can hear me though his mic

[torpid coral]

Ah, yeah, that's what happens when you talk in the same room.

You'll have to try and turn down the input dB.

So everything under a certain dB doesn't get registered.

Because you game in the same room, it's quite hard.

[ember scaffold]

i know its a big ass struggle

[torpid coral]

But it should be possible with a lot of changes to how you put the settings.

[torpid coral]

Indeed it is.

Or you use one mic

Yeez, my typing is off point.

[ember scaffold]

we wanna be able to hear each other other in game and not in person and that is our issue we arent willing to move room as gamin is one of times we spend together

[torpid coral]

These three should help.

[torpid coral]

That's both cute and lazy.

jk, just cute

[torpid coral]

Try and put them all to max first.

Why?

Well, then you can see if it has impact.

Eg. try and use the discord, voice test, or whatever it's called and see if you can still hear him clear.

If you cant hear him, but you get quiet too, try and slowly move down the NOISE GATE.

[ruby wren]

im having problems with the headset out of the box, i've already made the community support stuff but i dont understand this.

[torpid coral]

What's the issue.

Yeez, I'm helping a lot.

[ruby wren]

gg isnt downloading the firmware, already tried all the steps listed on their website

[torpid coral]

(Next time, put everything in one message, it's insanely hard to understand what you mean with "problems out of the box")

[torpid coral]

Weird, it should normally do so, when you first download it.

[ruby wren]

and i hear myself through the mic when sidetone, and listen to device is also off... im gonna go crazy

[torpid coral]

i'll try to get back to you as soon as possible

[ruby wren]

i might try reinstall..

the odd thing is i heard myself beforee even downloading gg.

[ember scaffold]

could be how u have it pluged in?

[torpid coral]

That's possible, your Mic still functions as a Mic.

GG, just helps enhanching that.

You can use your Microphone without having to launch GG.

I mainly use GG for the extra Bass.

Not for my microphone.

As it's not necessarily needed.

[ruby wren]

well

for the firmware stuff probably

im probably gonnna go insane if i dont get this fixed

[ember scaffold]

try to uninstall and reinstall it first

[ruby wren]

i just did..

this is what popped up when i tried to download the firmware

[ember scaffold]

could be ur pc settings tbh

[ruby wren]

can you help with them?

[torpid coral]

If you are unable to complete a firmware update, please take the following steps:

1. If you have access to a second computer, try firmware update on backup machine.

2. Try quitting and restarting SteelSeries GG

3. Fully Uninstall/Reinstall SteelSeries GG.

4. Please restart your PC.

If this does not work please also try the following,

Swap USB ports from 2.0 to 3.0 or vice versa.
Plug the device(s) directly into your PC if you are using a USB hub or External hubs.
Please check if you have a VPN or firewall enabled, if yes please try to disable them as some protocols hinder these updates.

Or an AntiVirus, as it is FirmWare and can be looked at as a Virus.

[ruby wren]

i've done this yet still doesnt work, idk what to do.

[ember scaffold]

do you have any other mics pluged into ur pvc

pc*

[torpid coral]

@rigid geyser

[ember scaffold]

wow...

wtf

[ruby wren]

no.

[torpid coral]

Indeed, lad thinks he's funny...

[ember scaffold]

well this for sure makes me wanna leave now

[ruby wren]

i used to have razer blacksharks

[ember scaffold]

what dose it say about the server

[ruby wren]

the microphone just bricked

so before turning on pc i took them out and plugged these ones in.

its getting kinda frustrating.

[torpid coral]

That they shouldn't have those on for people fresh to the server.

SteelSeries can't really do anything about these gifs, as they ain't marked by Discord, and can be created by everyone.

It's more or less the issue that the person in question sent them and thinks he's funny because of it.

Which makes him the opposite, and quite sad instead.

The other issue is, they have an insanely large community, yet only one Moderator is online, and he's on DnD, so he doesn't hear the pings...

[ruby wren]

up.

um.

so its not even the microphone

i can hear my system sounds

this is getting so... like actually

[ember scaffold]

audio issues sucks

[ruby wren]

i dont have the energy for this holy

[torpid coral]

It took me a while to understand my Headset too.

Now I'm used to it.

What are you using?

Like, what type.

[ruby wren]

arctis nova 3s

[torpid coral]

Doesn't it come with an extra cable?

Like an AUX cabble?

Instead of an USB?

USB is usually for Prism.

And thats also why you need the GG to fully work.

But...

It's weird it doesn't install the firmware.

I can't really aid you in this.

As I'm as much informed as you are.

Have you deleted the full AppData once already?

[ruby wren]

i'll try that in a bit

[ruby wren]

it does

ill try that rq.

[torpid coral]

Yeah, I mainly use my AUX instead of the USB

USB is lagging the hell out of my PC as it runs an extra software for the Prism

But I play on a laptop.

And I'm saving up for a PC.

As I'm only 16 years old.

So, yeah...

[ruby wren]

seems like the aux fixed it..

i dont understand

why is the engine app so buggy..

[torpid coral]

https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/categories/203991328-Software

And this may be useful for the software.

Not sure if it can fully solve it.

but it can aid.

[torpid coral]

Had the exact same issue.

[ruby wren]

ug.

[torpid coral]

I noticed after a while the USB is just lagging me.

[ruby wren]

I STILL HEAR MY PC

SOUNDS

[torpid coral]

And the AUX can just be used.

[torpid coral]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Wdym w PC sounds?

[ruby wren]

like usb disconnecting

discord notif

and ofc aux doesnt make the mic work.

[ember scaffold]

u might need an adaptor

[ruby wren]

.kinda starting to wannna get my money back.

[ember scaffold]

i dont blame ya the sofrware is awesome though for mic and party audio though

[torpid coral]

Also, was your issue fixed now?

Or haven't you got the chance to put it to action yet?

[ruby wren]

ion even want the rgb.

i just want sonar for my mic eq and game eq

[torpid coral]

You feel me.

Wait, @ruby wren, want to ss?

Neither of us have to talk.

[civic orbit]

i need help with getting rid of noise suppression/canceling in my steel series arctic 5 microphone.

[torpid coral]

Just turn off the options...?

Go to the Engine.

Then go to microphone

and turn them off...

[ruby wren]

tried the headphones on my sisters pc..

so its a firmware issue

drivers

as i think

BUT SINCE STEELSERIES CANT GET THEIR APP FIXED

i cant download..

[torpid coral]

[civic orbit]

it doesnt work

[torpid coral]

I can't help with that sadly...

[torpid coral]

Wdym?

Could you send a screenshot in here?

[civic orbit]

yes give me a moment

[torpid coral]

Like, the top, and middle two should be off.

[civic orbit]

where u find that

[torpid coral]

For a clean, and non-edited silenced voice.

[torpid coral]

The screenshot?

[civic orbit]

those settings

[torpid coral]

And scroll down.

[civic orbit]

let me just pray quickly i just came home from gym, i hope im not wasting your time brb in a few mins

[torpid coral]

Nah, you're not, everyone has priorities, and those should be put upfront.

You're already one-upping me by going to the gym.

Something I should have done for a while.

[civic orbit]

Oh yeah I havent been working out for half of the ramadan since im fasting

[ruby wren]

hey luckytiger, you said i should try clearing my appdata?

[civic orbit]

i usually go 5 times a week

[civic orbit]

people usually do that for improved performance

ooh no nvm

i was thinking ab temp files

mb

@torpid coral you there?

where do i go now?

[lyric raft]

My Arctis Pro Wireless are no longer working with Sonar...
Have to set them up in Windows 11 as "Headset Earphone" and "Headset Microphone"....
This after the latest Nvidia driver update...

[civic orbit]

wait what how i have it off but it still cuts when i talk

[torpid coral]

Mic, on top.

[ruby wren]

hm

there are new nvidia drivers

[torpid coral]

I'm mid studying, sorry for delayed responces.

"Priorities" yk.

[ruby wren]

ill download them and then try.

[civic orbit]

its alright im lucky to be chatting with you in general

[torpid coral]

Where do you talk?

[civic orbit]

where

[torpid coral]

No, I'm Lucky.

[civic orbit]

in my room with my built in microphone

[torpid coral]

You already found it 💀

[civic orbit]

no since ive had this issue since yesterday

[torpid coral]

No, like, what chat 💀

[civic orbit]

discord

it happened yesterday

when i downloaded

the engine

[torpid coral]

It was a joke, about my name...

[civic orbit]

to try the

7.1 sourround

[torpid coral]

Yeah.

[civic orbit]

oh 😭

[ruby wren]

where is it?

[civic orbit]

then the issue came

[ruby wren]

cause i dont see any steelseries folder

like in appdata

[civic orbit]

cant turn it to none

[torpid coral]

Click on the windows button and type in %appdata%

Delete this folder:

[torpid coral]

[civic orbit]

im fr

if i vc u and screen share

ill prove u

[lyric raft]

531.68 was updated today on my setup...

[torpid coral]

Read the texts under Voice Processing

[civic orbit]

yeah but why is it "handled" by the microphone?

[torpid coral]

It's being used by your GG

[ruby wren]

no appdata folder

[civic orbit]

whats gg

[ruby wren]

guess i cant clear it now

[civic orbit]

im slow

[torpid coral]

[ruby wren]

THE APP..

GG?

SONAR?

[torpid coral]

SteelSeries GG

XD

[civic orbit]

its not possible

[ruby wren]

no literally

[civic orbit]

oh but i dont have suppression on

or how do i remove it

[torpid coral]

Let me have a look.

[ruby wren]

i just uninstalled gg, im gonna download the nvidia drivers

[civic orbit]

i uninstalled gg

[ruby wren]

then reinstall gg

[civic orbit]

it didnt solve

i reinstalled

didnt solve

i restarted pc

while uninstalled

[torpid coral]

Try and reïnstall the engine.

[civic orbit]

didnt solve

reinstalled and restarted

didnt solve

[lyric raft]

ok.. i'll try

[torpid coral]

@civic orbit, must be something else...?

Mine isn't doing so.

[civic orbit]

its my echo cancellation

maybe?

idk

i hate steel series

these headphones are ass

[ruby wren]

hey man

i might just start agreeing w u

if i dont fix this by today i might just refund these.

i have no energy tbf

i just wanted to play tarkov w new headphones..

[civic orbit]

i cant refund

cause

i dont have receipt

[ruby wren]

f.

[civic orbit]

i might just throw these out

deadass

finna buy a stand mic

[ruby wren]

i would too. but yk. no money

haha fun.

[civic orbit]

and ion know what headphones

same

[torpid coral]

I can recommend a few :L

Non-SS tho...

So, can't do it here 💀

[ruby wren]

question

did the firmware update download fast?

WAIT

ITS DOWNLOADING

if this fixes it im gonna start crying out of joy

not even joking

YES

YES
IT WORKS

[civic orbit]

how u got firmware update

that might solve my issue to

too

[ruby wren]

i just got out these outta the box

you have to download the firmware

[civic orbit]

how i do that

[lyric raft]

That actually worked!

But WHY does an gfx driver update f**k up the audio driver?!

[civic orbit]

it happens

[stray axle]

Hello what keyboard you got??

[ruby wren]

cause nvidia drivers update your sound drivers too.

[lyric raft]

Apparently... 🙂
But why?
(I'm a developer myself but fail to see the connection, other that of bad programming)

[lyric raft]

They do? Why?

[ruby wren]

well..

would you rather have old buggy sound drivers from 2012 or have newly update a tiny bit buggy drivers?

its just nvidia idk, i dont work there cant tell you

[lyric raft]

the answer is obvious but a gfx driver should not touch sound drivers...

[ruby wren]

well

[lyric raft]

but alas... everything works now

thank you for the help

[ruby wren]

tho it still kinda makes my discord ping notif weird

probably will get used to it

[torpid coral]

It's probably your Windows 11 that screwed it.

[lyric raft]

btw... have to tell you all of my mishap...
I mistakenly connected a 36V adapter to my Arctis Pro Wireless hub and as you can guess it burnt out....
luckily I could order a new hub from ebay but DAMN am I embarrassed...
(This was during a move and all cables and connection got mixed up and I took the wrong cable... too late to realize my mistake when the conductor in the hub went up in smoke)

[torpid coral]

It changed a lot of the drivers and how things function.

I worked w SS when I first got Windows 11

[torpid coral]

YOU DID IT

YESSSS

[ruby wren]

I DONT KNOW HOW

[torpid coral]

But it works

don't complain 💀

[ruby wren]

i mean

yeah

still

these guys should hire better programmers..

(no hate this is a joke)

[torpid coral]

The programmers are great tho, just the way everything is set up could be explained a bit better

Like, a run through would be nice.

[ruby wren]

yeah true.

[torpid coral]

Instead of, here is the Engine.

Gl

Also, Release solved the NSFW guy :D

[ruby wren]

eyy

[torpid coral]

I sent him a DM and he solved it quite quickly

[ruby wren]

you used to work at steelseries?

[ruby wren]

?

[torpid coral]

Nah.

[ruby wren]

ngl these headphones sound so good

[torpid coral]

Like, I first got SS when I had Windows 11.

[ruby wren]

music is lividly crazier

[torpid coral]

Which ones do you have?

[ruby wren]

nova 3s

[torpid coral]

YEAH

I have Nova 5

Want my settings for bass songs?

[ruby wren]

SURE

[torpid coral]

Oh wait, I'm on my school laptop

I'd have to hop on my other one...

[ruby wren]

damn.

[torpid coral]

💀

[ruby wren]

nah its fine

[torpid coral]

Brb

[ruby wren]

dm me them when you have time

[civic orbit]

i hate my mic

[ruby wren]

think he meant arctis 5's

these ones

ugh..

i have to go to customs and get prapor his bronze pocket watch.

[civic orbit]

i have those but in white

[torpid coral]

(Don't look at the AUX one..., my headset isn't plugged in)

[ruby wren]

i might not change my game db

[torpid coral]

Oh, I changed it since my Game is always on 100

[ruby wren]

but anyways thanks!

[torpid coral]

Those you have to change yourself.

But mainly the first and second SS will influence your Bass-experience.

To test it, I wouldn't advice listening to Fresh New Kicks, as it's insanely hardstyle, and would break your ears if you aren't used to it.

Instead, listen to something like NVMB. and just patiently wait till it hits in.

This one is something you'll have to set up along the way.

Also, change the setting so your Spotify is on Media and not Game.

It's a tiny weirdness.

[jolly anvil]

so what you mean is if you don't have hearing loss already it will give you it

[torpid coral]

Oops, mb

Yeah, Arctis 5

[torpid coral]

Yeah.

[ruby wren]

nah

i listen to enough hardstyle in the gym

and while doing homework

[torpid coral]

If you're used to Hardstyle, it doesn't phase you as much, but it's insane hardstyle and therefor can jump you in, YEEZ THAT WAS LOUD-factors.

[torpid coral]

Why is everyone so sportive but me

I should really start to go.

[ruby wren]

how do i do that?

[torpid coral]

16 is a great age to start in gym.

[torpid coral]

You know how to go to the volume mixer?

[ruby wren]

uhh

here?

[ruby wren]

im 13.

[torpid coral]

Yes.

[torpid coral]

💀

[ruby wren]

yeah

[torpid coral]

How much you lift?

Important questions.

[ruby wren]

i recently lifted 10kg plus my bw]

[torpid coral]

Nice, great start.

[ruby wren]

well

[torpid coral]

We head there with school every now and then.

[ruby wren]

i am 50 kg.

bw

and deadlift 60

a big thing that like ruins my motivation

[torpid coral]

, you're 13, most of your weight will go up a bit when full-on pub hits.

[ruby wren]

is i have something called pigeons chest

or medical term.

pectus...

something

[ruby wren]

im bulking

[ruby wren]

back to this

[torpid coral]

Pectus carinatum (PC, or pigeon chest) is a chest wall deformity where there is overgrowth of the cartilage between the ribs and the sternum (breastbone), causing the middle of the chest to stick out.

[ruby wren]

yeah

[torpid coral]

Yeah, you then click on spotify, and change it to Media

[ruby wren]

tgat

[torpid coral]

Is it very visable???

[ruby wren]

alot of girls asked me if

i have a boob or smn

people really saw it

but it depends by person

for me its really bad

as i barely have any muscles

so its just bone.

[torpid coral]

you'll get them, you'll get more muscles than me, you go gym, I don't.

💀

[ruby wren]

pff

[torpid coral]

You need the bottom one.

[ruby wren]

uhm.

im on windows 10.

[torpid coral]

It's in Dutch, I know.

[torpid coral]

Send a ss

It should partially be the same;

[torpid coral]

Right click it.

Idunno

💀

[ruby wren]

tried to

[torpid coral]

Wait, go to GG?

And click on the setting button of Media

This should be visable.

Then click on the blue button :D

It should open the right tab.

[ruby wren]

uh

yeah

so

IM TRYING?

[torpid coral]

XD

[ruby wren]

wish i could go on call

[torpid coral]

Why can't you?

No need to talk.

[ruby wren]

yeah

[torpid coral]

I won't either.

[ruby wren]

i mean we can

[torpid coral]

But you can ss

[ruby wren]

ill screenshare

[torpid coral]

that way.

Very weird.

[crimson lantern]

hello, i need help I made the 36.00 update and now as soon as I launch my steelseries application my computer freezes
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the steelseries software but it's the same thing.

and sometimes it does not want to start when the keyboard is plugged in and it freezes on start-up

[torpid coral]

Try and delete the appdata.

Then reïnstall it.

[crimson lantern]

C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\steelseries-gg-client
this one

?

[hushed scroll]

when i use the steelseries key on my apex pro mini, the function keys light up, but they dont activate when i press them.

Any ideas?

[torpid coral]

Yep, that one.

[torpid coral]

No idea about mice, sorry.

I only know a basic bit about some things; this doesn't include mice.

[hushed scroll]

Apex Pro Mini is a keyboard.

[crimson lantern]

do you think i need a reset cmos ?

[torpid coral]

Oops, see, this is how little I know about it.

[torpid coral]

Deleting you AppData, will delete all setting and basic things set on your PC

You could also delete TempAppdata.

[ruby wren]

i think lucky tiger has helped ouut the most people today

holy

anyways ima head off to sleep, and again thanks for ur bass settings

[hushed scroll]

got it working

required a firmware update

[runic wraith]

@mental nimbus any luck with ya nova pro wireless? @cursive cobalt

[honest dune]

I received my giveaway package today from one of SS's streams last month (thanks again), but it included more items than I expected (mostly swag), plus it was addressed to someone other than myself. Not sure what to do.

[stray axle]

where can i find the updates on the app?

[honest dune]

Do you mean where to check for updates within the app? It's under Settings > About.

[elder current]

Need help, whenever i have an NVIDIA driver update my sound gets really loud in my arctis pros. Does this happen to anyone else?

[stray axle]

thanks

[elder current]

Its so much louder than before the update and my volume i keep at 100 and adjust my game volumes to quiet things down. Now everything is just blarringly loud

[honest dune]

I can't say I've had that problem. I have Arctis 7 Wireless and an AMD card. My only issue when installing GPU drivers is occasionally the default sound output device would get switched to one of the audio outputs on my monitor.

I keep my Windows volume at 100% and just use the volume knob on the headset.

[elder current]

that happens to me too. It seems to adjust itself over time too which is super odd to me. I have the gamedac too and that volume is the same from before i did the update. Windows volume is at 100, headset knob is all the way up (how it was before driver update). COD MW2 is what im playing and its soooo much louder than before

[honest dune]

I've never used the GameDAC or looked into it much, but it sounds like it might be an unavoidable byproduct of the driver installation method and how you're using each device. If your headset knob is turned all the way up and you are using the DAC to control volume, assuming the DAC uses a digital meter to limit volume unlike the physical control on the headset, the DAC volume is probably being reset during the driver installation. If you're using the "express installation" method for your GPU drivers, you could try doing custom instead, and skip the audio driver portion (which you probably don't need). The only other thing I can think to try is leave your DAC at 100% and use the headset knob. Again, please take with grain of salt as I have no experience with the GameDAC.

[stray axle]

it that normal?

[elder current]

honestly that sounds pretty spot on to me. I always do express installs so next time ill look into doing a custom install. Going to try a few different things out, to see what i can fix. going to try to reinstall this new driver and see how that goes

[honest dune]

I think "normal" is extremely subjective, but I will leave this to someone with more experience with Sonar. I have barely tinkered with it, and I don't have it enabled at the moment, so I'm not the right person to comment. Is it not working for you, or not doing something you want it to do? (Sorry, I've been an IT pro for 25+ years, and it's kind of a compulsion for me to try to fix everyone's tech issues.)

[honest dune]

I wish you well. 🙂 I'd be surprised if the custom install doesn't work for you.

[stray axle]

Yes, sorry, I'm from Germany, my English isn't the best. But thanks, everything works xD

[honest dune]

Ah, guten tag. I assumed that from the screenshot. I'm sure your English is better than my German. I say if it works for you, then who cares about normal? 🙂 In any case, I do have to take off, so I wish you and everyone else a lovely rest of your day.

[stray axle]

Yes, I wish you a nice day too xD

[wheat hatch]

Hey, would anyone here mind helping set up my Mic Sonar settings. I don't know that much about this kind of stuff and my friends say it sounds awful

[cunning bobcat]

my sound keeps dropping out and I can't figure it out I am going insane rn please help me I have nova 7

[round moat]

im having this issue as well, but specifically when on discord calls. either pc or when i transfer the call to my ps5, audio output is fine but the mic is shite, cuts off a lot.

[hasty charm]

anyone elses free game code not working

[bold girder]

some one can help me about wireless

[stray axle]

Anyone who plays valorant how long does it take to get all legends?

[spiral nova]

Hello everyone, I have a question about the arctis nova pro gamedac.
I bought it a week ago and my friends told me that they hear my music and videos on youtube even when my headset is mute.
I search on internet and some people tell that the only jack is effectively the problem because sound and mic are something like "linked"
Do you have any experience and advices about this ?
I already tried to fix the total control thing on windows. Thanks a lot !

[warped quest]

literally just plugged my headset in for the first time

updated driver software etc

mic doesn't work after following all troublehsooting options online

[earnest musk]

I'm excited about the shortcuts to the Sonar, but I opened it up there wasn't anything there. Am i missing something?

This is what I see when I open up the shortcut section on setting

[earnest musk]

Nevermind. Fixed it.

[plucky minnow]

anyone else have this issue

[tacit ice]

Hi @earnest musk
I'm curious to know how you got in this situation, and how you solved it. Feel free to DM me if you want

[echo plank]

Does steelseries have any kind of live support?

[serene zinc]

idk, I'm still waiting

[stray axle]

anyone having issues with sonar atm?

[vestal flare]

Me blank screen. Application doens't work. Yesterday i had starting loop in settings and in the sonar app. And now a Blank screen in Sonar and Sonar is enabled in Settings menu.

Reinstall doens't fix it

[echo plank]

Sonar works fine

[stray axle]

okay, i can get to the app but it doesnt register anything i do. i made every setting to enable the app but still it doesnt work

[echo plank]

Run it as adminstrator?

[stray axle]

this problem started yesterday

yeah done that

[echo plank]

hmmm

[vestal flare]

Same here.

[echo plank]

So it doesnt recognise your headset? yea?

[stray axle]

yesterday i tried to get the beta key and change my account name and there just came a text * servers are currently down *

after that the problems started

[vestal flare]

can i send screenshots here?

[echo plank]

i believe so

[vestal flare]

this is when i click on Sonar

[echo plank]

Maybe revert to an older version of the SteelseriesEngine?

[vestal flare]

Then i have the infamous turning off sonar glitch

and when i start setup in sonar it doens't show inputs/outputs.

[echo plank]

This is mine

[vestal flare]

I don't even get the screen to start setup anymore

just a blank screen

[stray axle]

Hello, even after uninstalling and reinstalling, SONAR does not start, it runs continuously. You have any ideas ?

[grave oyster]

Not sure if anyone from the company who cares looks at these, and it's probably come up before, but everything about the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is awesome except the crappy sidetone. Was fine with the first firmware and killed in updates. I hear it's because of feedback from the mic when retracted? Why not let us check a box saying we realize that can happen and let us crank it up? My mic is muted when retracted anyway. I have 4 other Steelseries headsets and this is the only one with an issue. Also tried every option from support to make it better.

[distant tide]

Hi so I have the arctis 5 headset from steel series. When I have both discord and a game open at the same time, the game audio specifically becomes muffled, quiet and distorted. I am using: Headset Earphone Arctis 5 chat for my audio output on both discord and the game. I used to use this same setup a few months ago and it worked fine. What should I do?

[stray axle]

Is an AMD A10-9700 Radeon R7 processor with windows 10 sufficient for SONAR?

[tacit wave]

Why there is no nordic apex pro 2023 model 🤨

[full vessel]

where can i get an xdefiant code? i was told steelseries is giving away codes

[cunning bobcat]

hello?

[echo plank]

What does the sidetone do?

[grave oyster]

On the Nova Pro Wireless the sidetone is way down, even when set to High. For example, on my Arctis 7P when I talk my voice sounds normal volume in my ears when speaking, but on the Nova Pro it is at like 25% volume which sucks for someone who likes sidetone. Was fine on launch, but they turned it down in a future firmware update. If someone else makes a headset that's good with swappable batteries and good sidetone I'd probably leave Steelseries headsets.

[echo plank]

But what does the sidetone do? is it the crappy thing where when you talk there's voice playback?

[unborn blade]

how i can get discord nitro free

?

[remote lance]

Any idea on how to prevent the playback device on sonar from resetting back to the computer when i do a driver update?

[split brook]

guys why cant i get the code for xdefiant gives me an error

[echo plank]

just disable it

[remote dirge]

is this a glitch or a bug there are no numbers at the sides of the volyme mixers

[restive ridge]

why is my sonar being weird cuz my sonar mic is picking up audio and my sonar audio isnt picking anything up

[rose steeple]

I have a problem with the Arctic 9X on PC with Bluetooth, when I deactivate the microphone for desktop applications everything works perfectly except the microphone, when I activate the microphone for desktop applications the microphone works but all audio in general : Spotify, any audio of each game,spatial audio and microphone the quality drops drastically,my friends can't even understand me,it seems that the audio from my microphone becomes "robotic" and laggy. If u want a picture that show my desktop app ill take

[quiet mulch]

Sidetone is where you can hear your own voice when you talk. It picks it up through the mic and transmits it to your headphones. Some people are OK without it, but I've had mics without any sidetone and I can't use them because it feels like I'm talking with my fingers in my ears. It can also keep you from talking way too loud since you can hear your own voice in comms.

[echo plank]

I have never understod how people could manage to use Sidetone

I would actually get insane if i had to use it daily haha

[ionic plume]

[hushed notch]

im def returning these getting the one that i orignally was gonna get a logitech g sum

[full shoal]

yupp

[placid kiln]

it used to work just fine

i think it's the most recent update that has caused this

very unfortunate

I just wasted 2 hours of my life trying to fix it

[placid kiln]

and I think that scenario is the most likely

and I'm definitely not reporting it via an email either... so we're probably going to have to wait for a bit

[hushed notch]

im def returning mine

not worth the money tbh

rather use my broken razers

[sage berry]

My dad just bought me the apex pro mini wireless. Can it still be used wired?

Like is there a usb port i can use in the back?

[hushed scroll]

Yes, I just received mine and you have the choice to run it wireless, Bluetooth or corded.

[sage berry]

Amazing. Thanks a lot. By the way how is it?

[median sable]

does anyones headphones just randomly shut down?

not even out of battery, it just shuts down

mine is an Arctis 9 btw

[woven remnant]

can anyone help me with my headset mic not working? its not a pc issue so idk what to do or how to fix it

[gentle stag]

Sonar is messed up right now.. mine hasn't been working properly all day

[hushed scroll]

I like it a lot. Be sure to update your firmware as the steelseries function toggle wasn’t working for me until I did.

[sage berry]

Oh okay, thanks. I should be getting mine tomorrow or friday. Cannot wait

[restive ridge]

The apex pro tkl 2023 got teased Rapid Trigger Firmware update correct?

[latent seal]

can anyone plz say how can i verify my steelseries account

[timid sinew]

search steel series in your email inbox

my xdefiant code isnt working for some reason tho

[latent seal]

i am facing these errors while verifying

[latent seal]

its not working

[timid sinew]

Oh dude I have no clue then

[errant spire]

Hi, I have an Arctis 5, and while my output is fine, my input is super quiet. People can barely hear me. I've set all of my input volumes to max, they have me turned up to max on discord, and I have all my inputs set to the right mic. I also installed the driver but I'm still quiet

[rigid nexus]

is it me or is the steele series software overkill, I just wanted to change the rgb colour and there's like an app running in the background now. Anyone else concerned about why a keyboard needs such beefy software with a million features and like 4 processes running?

[tepid gorge]

aggreed, gg is a bad piece of software, from my experience logitech g software is way better

only thing is steelseries makes good keyboards and headsets so many ppl are locked to using gg

[rigid nexus]

Im just worried about privacy, its very intrusive. For using a keyboard? Like give me a break

[tepid gorge]

deffinitely

and its annoying that sonar switches the default sound to the sonar thing everytime gg boots up

[rigid nexus]

I didnt even hear that, I already uninstalled it, will have to do a deep search tomorrow for any leftovers. Really feeling uneasy about all the liberties it gave itself right off the bat

[stark rampart]

It does that purely to minimize user error

[tepid gorge]

wdym

[stark rampart]

If it didn't you'd have a lot more people asking why they can't hear anything

[placid kiln]

it's a software issue, we've got to wait

[tepid gorge]

i cant hear anything with sonar too

[stark rampart]

Audio is complicated and making software that puts itself into the chain like that is not easy

Have you chosen the right devices inside Sonar?

[tepid gorge]

yee

[stark rampart]

Have you tried reinstalling GG?

[placid kiln]

don't waste your time

it's a software issue

[tepid gorge]

havent tried it

but i dont rlly care abt sonar

[placid kiln]

try switching your audio input from steelseries gaming to headphones 2

[stark rampart]

Fair enough. I don't really use it either :D

[tepid gorge]

weird

the sonar thing set the output for its mixer thing as my monitors passthrough

[placid kiln]

your mic isn't gonna work either btw

[tepid gorge]

mine?

[hazy arrow]

is alredy working the steel series nitro?

[tepid gorge]

didnt the promo end 3 months ago

[stark rampart]

Yup

You're way too late @hazy arrow

[tepid gorge]

my mic works

i gues its an issue with the nova series

[stark rampart]

No issues with my Nova Pro wireless

[tepid gorge]

pregnant said my mic wont work

yet it does

whats the recognised role

what does it mean

[stark rampart]

Chat level

The more active you are the higher level

Anyway, time for me to crawl back under my rock. Cya in a couple of weeks maybe :D

[tepid gorge]

goodbye

[placid kiln]

oh, good
