lmao it happens
Happens to all of us :D
for some reason my arctis nova pro keeps telling my the battery is empty but when i insert into charging station it tells me that its 100% full
itll say 0% remaining on the left but then i insert the battery and it says 100% charged on the right
anyone knows fix?
it might be this, gonna try
hi every1
why aren't my artics nova pro wireless batteries charging? (I insert them correctly) they were charged for an entire night in the appropriate base. The symbol appears that shows they are charging but the cleats don't move forward, any explanation?
uh oh some1 broke the headset xD
the headphones arrived last night..
Well one thing that is worth a note if any SS staff are here. The support team has the same issues as most supports for other companies have. They fail to actually read the ticket and give you a quick answer that doesn't actually resolve the problem. I get you want to go fast, but you aren't going to get $300 from me when the purchase is dependent on the answer I get
amazon
can i return it?
@zealous lodgedo an immediate return and do a replacement
contact amazon a file a defective device compliant and return it
rip
okok thx
they should give u a full refund
@pure frostdo a return for a replacement
thats why i dont trust amazon with things over 100$
is it hardware issue?
@pure frostyes it's either in the headset or the base unit
hope every1 is doing ok btw
@twin tundrayou too

i spent a grand on amazon the other day. worked fine
xd im just saying
amazon cant control if somethings defective
ik xD
your best bet at reducing the need to return something are making sure it is a legitimate seller
thats it

At least with Amazon you can always return it
Sometimes you don't even need to return it, they just refund you because them dealing with the costs of repairing it or trashing/resycling it is too much so they just let you keep it
anyone know why my steelseries arctis 7 microphone in the sonar app isnt picking up anything when i switch to it in discord or a game? my microphone only works as the default microphone thats not customized in the app
Send a screenshot of Sonar while in a VC/call on Discord
@polar quiver thanks for the shout, returned it to my local store. although i had the most ridicolous customer service experience of my life lmao
the dude servicing me tore off the ear pad to "check if all is fine" and ripped off the plastic clip-on mechanism and then tried to blame me for it
yeah thats why security cameras exist
my blood pressure is through the roof he called the fucking police
ive had to argue for like 1 1/2 hours
yeah thats why cameras existt
yea that was what ended up happening but oh boy it took long to get there
should have just mentioned security cameras to an officer away from him and then not said a word after
i tried but the service guy just kept yelling and arguing
idk it was just ridicolous, police was just as incompetent tbh
if it ever happens again, which i hope it doesnt, tell an officer away from him to check cameras. then stay silent
unless you live in like fiji or something that usually works
yeah theres a lot tbf

yeah its crap
we are insanely behind on technological/digital stuff
thats what happens when you have a corrupt conservative government for 23 years 

That's what happens to countries that are early adopters of tech
Guys I got a glithc w my keyboard it doesnt give me any light and the oled screen glitches too
They pay loads of money for early tech and then it's too expensive to rip that out and install new infrastructure
thanks
in case of german internet the government took bribe money from the copper lobby to use copper cables for the internet everywhere
instead of going with more modern stuff
in the 90s
copper cable supremacy

That's why poorer counties (Obvs not the super poor ones, but the poorer countries) usually have better internet and stuff, because they got the tech late, where it had been better, so they got it late, but more modern stuff and don't need to rip out old tech to put new stuff in
yup
also romania just gets to have highspeed cable beccause they allowed a continent wide glass fibre to run through their country
they just legally get to leech
gg
Richer countries get it faster, but poorer countries get better stuff, just late, and it sucks
up here in the middle of no where of wales
we arent supposed to get fibre optic till like
2027 or something
yikes
i had 9gbps the other day
still slow
like 1GB or something
but christ
1gbps??
Can install GTA V in like 10 mins
thats not that bad
106mbps upload though :(
what do you need fast upload for?
Uploading work files
ah fair enoiugh
I'm tempted to upgrade my internet from 1 gbit to 2.5 gbit
I want to, but there's no major internet providers that do that, and I don't really trust smaller providers
I think it's a 20$ price increase for me
Lucky
I was luckier where I used to live. 10$ per month for gigabit internet
Now it's $30 so still not terrible
I pay £69 ($87.63 USD) a month for TV and 1gbps download / 106mbps upload
No TV in my deal
Without TV, it's like £42 ($53.34 USD) a month I think
Apparently 2gbps download/upload is coming, but isn't available in my area yet
Nice :D
is the apex 9 mini a mechanical keyboard?
Depends what you class as mechanical, they have the same spring like structure as mechanical, but uses light instead of metal touching metal like a mechanical switch
yes and no. depends on your definition. most standard mechanical keyboards have mechanical switches where there's physical electrical contact. the apex 9 is an optical keyboard where the switches just break a light beam and don't electrically connect to the main board.
Yo!!! HALP
-- My recording quality is unintelligble
ahh
can someone help me w my apex mini pro?
chat mixer all the way on the right hand side, can still hear game/youtube audio
can anyone help me with my sonar mic not working? its working in the app but when i change my discord input or game input to the sonar mic it doesnt pick up any mic audio
Anyone here have the arena 9? I just got it and the control knob seems very loose, is that normal?
Hello my arctis nova 3 are making high pich static noise anyone know why?
bro how do you make a game an auto clip?
Did u update all drivers? On the sonar app and Windows drivers and all?
Thats what fixed it for my old one
thanks
do i need to have the game open for it to auto clip
Yea
hey I have a configuration in my game channel i want to put into my media how do I do that?
Hello! I have just bought a pair of steelseries arctic 7+ and my mic input is waaay to sensitive. My friends can hear every singe soundwave around me and I would like to ask if anyone knows how to fix this. I have tried Sonar and the engine settings but I can't solve it.
go to this setting in mic config and chage it until you background sounds are not being picked up
Even if I drag them all the way up there is no difference
I have my window slightly open and my mic picks up wind noice in the trees that are about 50 meters from my window, it makes no sence haha
haven't tried out Sonar yet 🤔💭

hi, is there way to get sonar for arctis nova 1 on mobile?
When I turn on that AI noice cancelling, nothing changes... this is so frustrating
But thank you for helping
sorry I don't know more as i am still learning but the best thing I can suggest is go to YouTube and searching it or just waiting for someone else with more knowledge to help you out
Yeah I will do that, thanks
If anyone knows how to fix arctic 7+ oversensitive mic, please let me know 🙂
why does my steelseries software not open anymore?
it cant find the finals as game?
It's Windows 10 and newer only so unfortunately not
hey i have a question, on my clip can i turn off the sound of my desk but turn on sound of my game ?
my mouse has just bricked itself for the 2nd time this week, it just stops working during use and flashes red
and then when i connect it via usb it says firmware update failed
then completes the update, and then is just in an endless loop of that
have you tried returning it that usually fixes things
unfortunately i've had the mouse since feb last year and SS support have denied every single RMA request i have made (for other devices) so im not too hopeful
fair enough
every time i plug it in it says the firmware upodate failed, but then it goes all the way to this screen
and when i plug the dongle in it just says "update completed"
the progress bar also goes backwards???? wtf
and while on this screen it pops back up saying critical update
then on this my mouse just flashes red again
never had an issue with SS hardware but holy jesus is the software absolute doo doo
Anyone know if SteelSeries plans to launch a new keyboard in the next few months?
Hey guys, I have question. I have Stratus+, it is good controller no issues with wired. Bluetooth connected to PC but cannot work on Rocket League in bluetooth even when connected. Why?
Does anyone know if u can record or only clip on the steelseries sonar
@strange finch
yo
tell me
i bought Steelseries Arctic Prime
and this so caled "headset" is beyond my worst imaginations
yeah either get arctis nova pros or dont get steelseries
first time in my life
i bought something from Steelseries
and honestly
its such a garbage
any of their bottom shelf or midshelf items are complete garbage
good to know
either spend the big money, or dont spend the money on steelseries
the arctis nova pro wireless does fuck tho
when the software functions like it should
ah
exactly
software
i was thinking for some time
why this shiet doesnt appear
in app
where do i disable it?
settings
look at your audio options and have a giggle
its horrendous
that fixes 99% of issues
moments is just garbage shadowplay
but your engine tab should be showing some form of item for your headset
like this
i would try a different port for headset
if no go, try a quick restart with it unplugged then replug after full reboot
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
move ports around
ez
the nova pros do fuck tho
they a lil spendy
i'll keep ya in mind boy
but hotswappable battery and wireless is nice
good news lads i'm not insane, my nova 3's really are just bugging out
yayyyyy. headphone loopback btw, not the mic
Question: Is there a way to activate a different bind when two buttons are held on my Aerox 5 Wireless, or is that only a Razer Hypershift feature?
does anyone knoW hox to factory reset the apex pro mini because I can't turn off this macro
Can someone Help me please
I can't unbind this key do I like need the app

someone help me
recently my steelseries gg software has been switching the input to my monitor across my mixer as the default device, anyway to stop this from happening. It was not doing this before.

Does anyone knoW hoW to factory reset a apex pro mini
please I need help
i just Want to factory reset it
Is anyone on that could help me factory reset my keyboard
wait it works
nvm I got it to work
Is this a thing or no?
mines doing the same thing. I've had this happen in the past and reinstalling seemed to fix it but did not this time.
The only thing that seems to fix it for me is when I fully uninstall steelseries gg.
do you have this toggled on or off @astral portal
Tried both
hey guys
why does steelseries gg suck
i use sonar, and it was fine until like last week
i've tried a fresh install and it did nothing, issue still happening
also the base station's display keeps freezing
Is there a way to add more presets to GameDac?
best MW3 settings for Nova pro wired? Please & thank you.
my headset warranty is coming to end would steelseries honour the warranty if I simply just wanted to claim warranty for a refresh?
Hey, im living in France. I bought few years ago, like 8 years ago, a "Siberia P800 (wireless)".
Now i would like to change my headset for a "Arctis NOVA 7 wireless" or a "Arctis 7P wireless".
Each years, i checked prices of steelseries products to see if there is good sales.
I saw sometimes sales on "Arctis 7P wireless" for 100€ instead of 200€.
I waited summer sales (started today in france) to buy the headset but summer sales seems poor for me.
Moreover there is a special code to use 'ARCTIS20' which more interesting to use than the summer sales on "Arctis NOVA 7 wireless". 20% off against 15%.
Is this rly summer sales ?
I don't know too much about it, but it seems to depend on where you live exactly, so try to check whether they've started where you are.
Your picture is about 2023, dates are differents in 2024.
But im not talking about the fact summers sales started or not, im talking about the sales of steelseries which are less interesting of past years.
ok sorry for the misunderstood
And why a special code on "arctis20" is more interesting on some products than summer sales ?
hi
im playing gta
and ssonar is seeing it as mic
and i cant put it in game section
hi, i cant log in my account in the app,but i can log in the website.
It was no porblems before,but today when i open my computer,the app need me relogin
Do you have a VPN installed?
yes
Uninstall it and you'll most likely be able to get in
You can install it again after
Which VPN are you using?
I haven't had that issue with NordVPN
because i come from china so most act need it
That makes sense
You're welcome
Hello, I dont know how to clip can i get assaistance?
can someone remember the rival 700
when r the steel series arctis nova pro batteries coming in stock?
they've been out of stock for like 6 months
Of course :)
No idea, you'd need to ask SteelSeries about that but they probably don't know either
Is that normal that when I have sonar on I don’t have any sound but when I close it I got sound back anybody know how to solve this problem ?

hello, the hinge of my arctis pro broke off, I ordered the nova pro and i have a question : Is the Arctis Pro Wireless DAC compatible with Nova Pro?
ITS TELEPORTED TO MY ALT BUTTON
Please tell me gg 65 fixes the issue with moments just not working
Real quick question
Is this Kingston SSD drive NV2 1000GB M.2 2280 PCI-e 4.0 NVMe 3500/2100 good in a "gaming laptop"
i recently got a gameDAC gen 2 and i set it up with my arctis nova 3 but in the steel series engine its not popping up ive tryed everything but i cant fix it dose anyone know a solution
the leds dont work on my headphones when i have it connected to it either
and for some reason its detecting arctis nova pros
anyone know why my keyboard and mouse dont work when wired in but they are wireless
only plug wire in to charge but dont work when charging

How do you save a clip again?
A legendary mouse. Too sad that they abandoned such Innovations
CLIPPING IS FIXED LETS GO
it was really not so different from any other mouse
it had 2 side buttons, left + right click, scroll wheel.
dpi button
Wish they would update the amount of presets saved on the GameDac, or allow the ability to save custom ones to it.
this is steelseries
asking too much
im all for their products, love them.
outside of that theyre... meh
They added like 10 presets Q3 2023 and then never touched it again
its very funny
because theyre easy to do
they just.. dont
i dont know why i still pay so much money on steelseries products for mediocre support on them
It's very easy to do
Would have to be engine, because consoles and whatever can't use sonar, but they have the software to make custom EQ's, they have the ability to save to the Dac, they just can't be arsed to make it to save the EQ's to the Dac
no they cant lmfao
the day my stupidly expensive headset + keyboard break is the day i move on from steelseries
theyre great products but they sure are not worth the price
I'd add it for them if they'd let me xD
Had to make auto switch game config based on game myself, which is crazy when everything needed for that is already built into the app
yeah its ridiculous
there is genuinely no reason for anyone to be paying the price of their products when they dont even bother to make them worthwhile
The fact that I can make that, without changing any of their code, it's not hard to do
With no API or anything like that too
nope
the nova pro getting those magnetic side pieces was so funny
like wow just what i want from a headset
I feel like they wanted other companies to pay them, to put their designs on them tbh, but no one did
realistically why would anyone pay them for a bit of magnets
Like a game could pay them to make side designs for their game to get more money
any other company could have made them for much cheaper and just sold them as "circular magnets"
Yup
its funny because its genuinely like, a completely useless feature
they still used it to upcharge though
only reason i buy their headsets is because im lazy to set up a whole mic
but at this point it seems i could do it for the same price and get much better audio quality from headphones + better quality mic
I wish I just had the ability to save to Dac so I could make an app to save presets myself at this point
Having sonar is great, but when you use pc and console, the console is extremely limited
Both not having sonar or many presets and that console is only 48000Hz instead of 96000 hz
they have those wireless ones that they have designed for console
'designed for console' i should say
but wireless headsets have been doing that for ages lmfao
they have no innovation
they just make mediocre products and upcharge them by putting on useless features
What is the main difference between arctis pro wireless and arctis nova wireless
nova have ANC
and are slightly more consistent in quality
i dont see why they restricted the ANC to the nova wireless lmfao
Just annoys me that they make good products, but they need software for them to be good and the software part is extremely lacking
the software is awful
they dont even make that good of products
i mean a lot of it is just overpriced mid quality
they put lcd where they can
cuz thats a buzz rn
but these for example. what changes between them? £125 for ANC??
i dont see why they didnt put ANC on the wired ones too and just made the wireless like 50 quid more or something
On the gamedac, sure, but an lcd on a keyboard, pointless gimmick
yup
theres that rival 700 that glitch mentioned earlier and he called it a legendary mouse.
nothing seperates it from other mouses except an LCD
even then the lcd is covered by your thumb lmfao
Wireless gamedac also needs Bluetooth chip, wireless chip, battery charger built into Dac and 2 batteries
i mean the gamedac doesnt even function properly without using the software
i may aswell just clean my headset then sell it
like i have the gamedac on my desk and it just gathers\ dust
which is exactly why its a stupid price. ANC should have gone into both headsets, charge 10% more for the wired one and then £50 more for wireless
its not as if ANC doesnt work on wire
no one should pay £325 for some crappy ANC "gaming headset"
its wireless for christ sake its not good
at that price you could get a pair of sony xm5 and get much better audio quality + anc
and just use them for your pc
So what is a good price to buy the nova pro wireless for
personally i wouldnt bother with the wireless
but if youre gonna, buy them new. they often have issues
if you buy them new youd actually get warranty
Well too late now already bought open box from ebay. They were just opened and tried and then returned.
fair enough
ebays got good buyer protection so if theyre broke theyll likely take them back
I wish I just had access to source code, I'd make so many changes xD
yeah, they really need a team to work on it
What? No? One is wired, the other isn't. The wireless also has the battery swap system and Bluetooth. And yes, ANC 😅
I paid full price for the NPW at launch and I have not regretted it at all
That's fine, that's your opinion
im all for steelseries products, but the pricing on them are very janky
We don't have to agree on the NPW, thankfully
id much rather buy the xm5 over the npw
Has Wireless (Dac+headshet), Bluetooth(Dac+headset), battery charger, 2 batteries, Anc, but with any wireless version of a headset, lower frequencies
but yeah
The Sony XM5?
you know it
That's like comparing apples and organs
exactly
Which I also don't get, I get that they do it for longer battery life, but when the product comes with 2 hotswap batteries losing a few hours battery for better quality sound is worth it
but you cant fault sony when it comes to ANC
ANC isn't exactly the main selling point here
outside of the anc what is it? wireless shouldnt cost that much more
I'm not ditching my Bose for them, that's for sure 😅
Honestly it feels like you'll just deflect again if I give you an answer to that
the wireless and the battery swap?
that really doesnt seem like it should cost that much more
The XM5, how are you going to connect it to your gaming PC?
bluetooth lol
You're joking, right?
unless im mistaken, theyll connect
theres no reason for them not to
they connect with bluetooth
my motherboard contains bluetooth functionality
Bluetooth is great for phones, doing casual listening to music and stuff. It is horrible for gaming and straight-up unusable for gaming and chat
The latency and the quality is no where near 2.4GHz
bluetooth is just horrible as a whole though tbf
So you just agreed that your argument is invalid
yeah
Wait wait wait, when you change the custom EQ in engine, it does actually go to the Dac, which means all they need to do is save it under a different name for you to have multiple custom presets.....
yeah they dont need to change much for dac presets
Actually shocking how bad the software is
tbf @stark rampart. im not too knowledgable on headset production and im mostly going from my limited knowledge. if we were talking about PCs however... thats what i know about 🤓
this is undeniable though
the software is really bad
It's close to being amazing, but they leave stuff out that is really easy to add which limits it.
I do have the advantage of having worked with gaming and gear full time for over a decade 😅
hey guys is the aerox 5 wireless good?
Eh, it's fine. It does what I need it to do. I dislike Armory crate from ASUS a lot more 😅
Yeah, that's awful
OpenRGB and SignalRGB are the only good ones
Hey guys, is the Aerox 5 wireless mouse any good?
wide compatibility and dont just downright suck
It's like they add 90% of a feature every time they add something
nzxt cam functions and thats about it
Check some reviews and decide for yourself? :)
i have and they're mixed, there's lots of hate for steelseries and i don't know if i should switch companies
but many people say the mouse is good
a lot of the hate is likely from people who dont know that products can arrive damaged and also dont know about returns
its what a lot of the hate in this server is
I personally don't like the way standby mode works on SteelSeries mice where you gotta click or move the mouse to wake it up
But I haven't used the Aerox 5 personally
That and not understanding how to set it up right
My mouse is the only wirelss thing I have for my PC, and that's only because I have a powerplay mouse mat so it charges while using it so I never have to plug it in
yeah people would rather spend 6 hours "troubleshooting" than reading the manual or returning something
this is cool.. how have i not heard of this?
I just wish they'd make a bigger one
I did a DIY job for mine
just searched it and it literally looks like its a huge wireless charger. thats awesome lmfao
Yep. It's especially great when someone just writes something like "my headset is broken, help" in introductions, then pinging a couple of mods and staff after not getting an answer after 30 seconds
Bought a big normal mouse mat (I like my keyboard on it and everything too) put the powerplay under the mouse mat, and they bought a 3mm cork sheet, cut it to the mouse mat size and then cut the powerplay mouse mat shape out of it. so it's all flat
genius
i need a new mouse mat. mines god knows how old and is disgusting
its the only thing i dont clean
I did something like that but I didn't bother with the cork part. Used a 5xl desk pad that covered the whole desk, the powermat then a ltt mouse pad on top
"sonar doesnt work"
then theyve got their audio channels all set to their monitor which has no speakers in
Mouse connects straight to the powerplay mat too, so you don't need extra cables/dongles in the PC
It's a super neat detail
Yeep
Seen a lot of people complaining about it going to other devices, because of how they have their backup stuff setup
yeah and thats fixed in settings
I haven't had any issues with the actual product/software, other than lack of features
The bump where the powerplay mat is would annoy me if I didn't have the cork underneath to make it flat
I do wish they did a better job of explaining new stuff like that or had a warning like "looks like the audio is going to your monitor, is that right?"
I think it helped having it sandwiched between mouse pads, wasn't super noticeable
But again, it's a 90% done feature, why not make it so any Steelseries product auto gets put to the top of the list, and then under that, anything with "headset" in the name
There'll always be something
pixel art design looking great on this mod
dont know who made it but the audio and the design ir awesome
If I had source code, I would add/change:
Make it modular: If I'm not using features, why have them installed (Mainly 3D Aim Trainer, Moments and Giveaways) or just seperate 3D aim trainer/Moments into a seperate app.
Autoswitch configs based off game: Add the code I've already made, which is all built into the app anyway to change game configs based off open games.
Presets: Add the ability to save presets to the GameDac (They added some Q3 2023 and haven't added more since and no way to add your own) (Only really useful if you use console)
Backup: Add a hierarchy to the backup, so steelseries products end up at the top automatically, and then anything with headset or headphones and then everything else (Would stop a lot of complaining of people saying it's switching to their monitor)
Errors: Actually show error codes on what's making the application hang, whenever it's just infinitely loading.
Would make the app so much better
Waste of storage having it included with product software
And it's more things it needs to load
There's a lot of ideas here: https://discord.com/channels/299040363123965952/1242123350445133834
i dont like that when i open it the first thing i see is desktop capture on start
no thanks
I only have a steelseries headset, if I had other products, I'd probably have more.
But every single thing I said wouldn't take long to add at all
Making it modular would take the longest time, autoswitch, presets, backup and errors could all be done in a few hours
if i paid attention to my college course id provide some insight
however i dont pay attention
I wonder how many people are using their headphones in 48000hz, instead of 96000hz too, as it defaults to 48khz
:O
i dont think ive ever even used it at 96
Missing half the frequency and 8 bit more
Gotta get all the bits and Hz
OOOF
hell yeah
3D Aim Trainer isn't downloaded with GG. it only downloads once you open the game for the first time.
anyone help in #1255634407184793670
anyway to change that without going into windows settings like just using the base station?
Really wish SS had a Apex Pro 2023 model that is full size, getting a good numpad that isn't super ugly, old, or requiring another software is difficult
Can someone dm me and help me with my keyboard please
Regarding color changing
Like mine won’t change
Anyone know the customer service phone number? I'm getting thr run around via email right now
Not in this server? This isn't the place for that.
Self advertisement is not something nearly any server is going to allow freely. If they have a channel focused on it then sure, but this doesn't. So its best to assume that you can't
It’s about a new game. SteelSeries is a gaming company 🤣
It’s not self advertising my guy
The article was about a battle royale. That is not a steelseries product or service?
The article wasn't even a SS domain
I’m not posting in a SS chat. This is general chatter
Yes and the general discord servers run with follows this definition
considering or including the main features or elements of something, and disregarding exceptions; overall:
Its not for posting links to outside content. Even if lenient on the topics themselves, you shouldn't be posting unapproved links. Huge security issue
why isnt there an option in the sonar gg settings to just use your default playback device... why does sonar just override windows sound settings completely with zero integration?
i was sitting here fiddling with my windows and wow sound settings trying to figure out where my sound is going - only to realize that backup device switch, which i've already disabled once, has re-enabled itself, and changed my output device to High Definition Audio Device - which is not even a device, no my sound was just going no where
and i cant just not use the software, since without it, my headphones sound like they're at about 10% volume
oh and if you adjust a sound setting in the volume mixer, that isnt overrided by sonar
so make sure you check your game sound settings, your volume mixer, not your windows sound settings because that does nothing, and make sure your sonar sound settings in the tiny little drop box, are all correct
just to use a pair of fucking headphones
do you guys even use your own products
any potential customer of steelseries reading this, RUN
why do i have to uninstall the steelseries gg client and reinstall it everythime i turn on my pc otherwise it force mutes all incoming and outgoing inputs
can i just use the headset without gg client?
yo is it possible to adjust the microphone volume on my steelseries alias without the absolute mess of bloatware that is steelseries GG?
like drivers would be nice
would be very helpful
are your output settings on gg changed here? took me a while to remember that this overrides windows sound setting
click those drop down boxes and change to what u need
you would think there would be a 'system default' option there, but i guess the software devs cant get that figured out, they're too busy setting custom sound profiles for Tarkov Arena....
guys why wont my moments work someone please dm me
can someone help me i have arctis nova 7 and i cant tell where are footsteps coming from
is there a way to have Moments standalone? I don't wanna Sonar and Engine and all that stuff that comes with GG, I just want Moments alone, is it possible?
Hello, i use SteelSeriesGG for manage sound, and use Sony WH-1000XM5 headphone, but sometime it can't detect all my devices, even laptop speeker when i connect my headphone on laptop and use it on discord or when use both speeker and mic on headphone . Is this problem come from Sony WH-1000XM5 headphone?
hmm
I had Arcits Nova 5 headphones, but the sound was booming, so I requested a refund and I never dropped them on the floor. Do you think they can be returned?
Hi everyone, I am currently looking to upgrade my mix amp on my Astro a40’s to something to help give me a bit more surround sound to help hear footsteps in game.
hey, I want to reinstall Steelseries moments, to try and fix an issue ive had for a while now, but im not sure if i'll be able to keep the clips afterwards. I know they are saved in a folder, but that doesnt work for me, none of the clips in the folder have sound and i don't really know why, so will my clips dissapear if i reinstall or will they stay?
Hey, i have a problem w my output, i dont clip w moments, but i clip w my AMD software, ok, when the ooutput is STEELSERIES AUX, i cant hear my clips even changing my output, but when i change the output to default(realtek) and i make a clip, i can hear it
You can absolutely use the headset without GG. Which headset is it?
Lennart, any chance you can help, ever since the latest steelseries gg update, my prism on my apex pro tkl/aerox 6 hasnt been functioning at all, theyve just been static lighting, ignoring any settings/toggles ive attempted, ive reinstalled GG and still no improvement
Sorry, I haven't really used Prism
Good morning guys. Always when i start my pc, i need to choose my Headset (its not from Steelseries) How can i deactivate that Sonar without deleting it because my mouse and keyboard is from SS.
jeez, many people got that problem i think. Why SS don´t fix that sh!t?
It's most likely not a bug but a wrong setting
SteelSeries Sonar has “Device Fallback” that will automatically switch the outputs on Sonar.
Fallback can be triggered when a device is unavailable (such as when booting your PC or unplugging a device), or it can switch outputs if it detects if a Nova headset is turned off, and automatically switch to speakers.
This fallback functionality can be adjusted or turned off by going into the settings in GG. You can find it under Settings > Sonar > Backup Device Switch.
You can also adjust the order in which devices fall back to. This can be adjusted in the same options menu. Simply scroll down to see the full list of devices.
But you can turn off Sonar in settings
wow dude, thank you very much i will try it rn
You're welcome :)
God bro, that was very helpful. God bless you!
God shall bless everyone in here
Happy to help! :)
I wish everyone a good day. Im out of here, thanks again!
could you fix the problem with the apex series where when you put too many things into the meta layer, it just starts to lag?
Have you contacted support about it? It's the best way to get info like that to the dev team
thx. didnt think about that
Yw :)
yo
is there anybody using arctis nova 1
when i enable sonar, my geforce clips doesnt pickup my mic. i already tried changing my mic input in geforce but it doesnt do anything, can someone help me?
select mic in settings of shadowplay and then make sure to start shadowplay after that
check if nvcontainer mic appears in sonar
also you can set ss-mic for nvidia in windows mixer, this way it will force it to use it
its not
for some reason its disabled?
it means its not using mic through sonar
try this and then repeat steps from above
should be like this
also mic volume slider won't work in nvida app if you get steelseries mic to work with it
you have to change volume of microphone back to 100% through sonar (one time thing)
i just did but mvcontainer doesnt appear anymore
have you restarted recording?
also if you want to make sure it appears, enable desktop capture
in case you didn't
<3

SteelSeries hire me pls 
hello

Steelseries isnt opening at all out of nowhere aand its not active in my taskmanager. What do I do?
Tbh I've never had good luck with clips uploading to YouTube through GG. Easiest thing to do would be upload directly to YouTube. I've never been able to make the GG upload work
any1 know this issue
i randomly put my headset off cause i had a phone call
come back and trying to put it on and it wont connect...
i think they f'd up the software can't update firmware nor connect my headset back
@stray spruce you have some issue?

hi, does anyone know if the black version of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless have the same "updated features" that the white version have? I am very interested on the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro WirelessSteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, and I was looking some reviews, and I noticed that some talk about the reduction of the noise-canceling device that is inside the speaker is smaller than the last version, which is better for people than have larger ears. The thing is, I prefer the black color design more, but want that new feature. Does somebody know if the black version is update and the same as the white version, or the white version is the only one that have that feature?
and sorry for the wall of text
I have the black version but tbh i dont know how to check it 🙁
Feel inside of the ear cup
It's the thing in the middle
my artics 3 headset stopped working reacenty like not even picked up by sonar any tips
just a random noob question but does anyone here use the moments feature on the GG app? im just wondering how clipping works
lord have mercy why is everything on steelseries stuff so ridiculously expensive
Hi i have had my artic nova 7x for a year or something and just saw i have to update it how do i do that no pc?
u update it through steelseries GG
Whats that and can i do that on xbox or phone?
no i dont think so 💀
Damm i got no pc
if the headset is working as it should no sound problem then honestly no need to update it
i really need help with the microphone of this headset
K that cool i got no problem with it
just crafted 6 months worth of buying steam trading cards within 20 minutes of the sale being out
it was very very satisfying
who needs free followers on anything?
when did you buy it?
make sure the game is detected @astral flax
if its not, then go to settings and go here
And manually add/scan
Hey, i have a problem w my output, i dont clip w moments, but i clip w my AMD software, ok, when the ooutput is STEELSERIES AUX, i cant hear my clips even changing my output, but when i change the output to default(realtek) and i make a clip, i can hear it
Mine has the knob, it's from launch
brug my steel series isnt picking up any of my apps for the sonar option
so i notice in my moments my mic doesnt play in the clips but my friends do how do i fix that
Is here a tech support channel?
cause I recently bought a new Aerox 5 (3 days ago) and sadly the B4 button is not working or it's working very delayed. I have it set up as "default" in the engine but for example in overwatch I bound my melee to this button and its not meleeing. It is also not wokring in browser for skipping throught pages (like going back on youtube for example)
This used to be a thing on my old aerox and I'm a bit confused about it. Is this a broken mouse or just a wrong setting?

idk but can someone help me with my headphones
anyone know why my arctis prime headset mic isnt working its connecting but not working
@velvet marshi responded to your thread
@frail condorwhich headset ?
@astral flaxdid you reinstall gg from scratch ?
@astral flaxyep i submitted a ticket last weekend as moments would start then turn off immediately so for the moment i reinstalled version 63 but if you do this you have to rename the version.json located in the steelseries directory in program files so that it doesn't auto update again until you want it to
i would NOT shout that out too loud roflmao 😂 😂 😂
Im sorry but why is it that every headset ever that comes with software make it so the headset gets really bad distortion...
ive had these pair of headphones for 3 days now, and was going crazy by the distortion/crackling noises, uninstalling GG fixed it.
well you haven't mentioned which headset and which gg version ?
I have the arctis nova 7p wireless, and iw as on the latest version of GG
@past brookdid you try installing earlier versions of gg ?
i didnt have a need to as the latest version was working perfectly fine until yesterday
windows update ?
did you try unplugging dongle then replugging in a different usb port .... unpairing - re-pairing and extending the dongle away from other electricals for interference ?
yes it can
Ive done all that yeah
i was scared my usb ports were all messed up
but i assume it should all be good now
try reinstalling because windows update will either overwrite drivers or corrupt them
did that justn ow
crackling has returned
it mightve been a messed up sonar setting that couldve caused it
did you delete the 2 steelseries directories located in program files and programdata so that it reinstalled from fresh
Yes
ive deleted the directories AND cleaned the temp folders
the crackling is still there but BARELY noticable, itsl ike everytime i boot up the headset it gets worse
i know one other guy with this he returned the headset for a refund
i can't return mine
try and earlier version of gg
gotcha
to stop it updating you rename the version.json file
yo how dome sometimes it dont clip audio
could an alpha male like my self get some help?
@pulsar ermineread up above and install version 63
@gleaming fogno you'd ned to be a b male
lol
you'll need to explain or make a thread in https://discord.com/channels/299040363123965952/1047622297382567936
@gleaming fogit was a joke lol
i know?
Can someone explain why Moments is recording at like, 5 fps? I have it set to 60 but some games just do not record in that framerate, its almost always unwatchable
Ok so for SOME reason it is only doing this in certain scenes
Playing Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed and I wish to save my character settings through a clip, since there aren't any "character slots" or anything
Outside of the customization, it works fine
Inside however, it sh*ts itself
Omg it's the framerate?
Just changed the framerate in game down to 30, which is what I have my settings set to. That fixed it. It functioned the way it is supposed to
I actually hate this app ngl but its got the whole editing thing and such so I'm stuck with it unless there is an alternative that is super similar to moments but is... y'know, actually functional
I need help
I have a big problème i cant fix it
How can help me
My macro is all Time acrobate and i cant stop it and im on ps5
@cerulean sonnetuninstall fix windows via cmd with admin using sfc /scannow let that run download ccleaner run tools registry scan then scan and fix save first time round and then run it again and again till nothing left to fix then reboot then reinstall gg
I have a problem i was messing around with the app and now i can't talk
how do i add a game to capture if its not being detected
might be a dumb question, but do headsets have drivers to install?
computer noob here
yeah me to ive been going through this thing
Y'all think steelseries will make low profile keyboard again like the apex 350 but tkl and also wireless?
hello
yo how do i fix where my mic is connected to the sonar but i when i talk through its not working no sound comes out ive tried multiple mics idk what to do
Help, my headset suddenly stopped responding, and both lights are on and it wont turn off. My headset is an Arctis Nova 7. What do I do? Is there a way to force turn it off?
how do you set 96khz on nova pro wireless
i cant select it in settings in windows
Hey, any arctis 7p+ users or users with headsets that have a similar dongle. How do y’all go around the dongle blocking the usb port on the ps5?
I don't want to annoy anyone with this post or I don't want to break any rules with it. I just want to talk about a serious topic that is killing me inside every time when I think about it
Recently, I remembered what a user told me here about SteelSeries (that they have changed). I didn't think firstly big about it, until I discovered the old products SteelSeries used to bring out. A display on a mouse, headphones that goes around your neck, gaming gloves, gaming blue light glasses. I was shocked and surprised at the same time where i saw that SteelSeries really "dared" to do things differently compared to others with such creative and great ideas. And now, almost none of it is left. the biggest focus nowadays from SteelSeries is simplicity and the focus of many groups.
It's just sad to see that. It's like a turn from a creative happy child to a depressed unmotivated adult. That also is left behind from all other brands and almost hasn't anything else that covers their personality (like none other brand made a mouse that has a LED display on it and vibrates at certain times, which made the products of SteelSeries even more unique). Don't get me wrong. I still like their products and going for simplicity doesn't have to mean something bad for 100%. It just takes the space for creativity away. The creativity I miss from their old products.
Plus, the desperation and frustration all of you have and share in here also destroys the faith and happiness I have with SteelSeries. Sure, only because some people don't like something or have issues with something doesn't mean that you aren't allowed to like it. It's your choice. But it paints the bright colors with desperation to a grey picture. The bad things are always the loudest, isn't it right? How funny from life.
I just want to be happy with something I like without getting punched from reality.
I'm not asking for attention or something else. I just want to speak out the package I hold inside me. And if I'm lucky, some of you all can understand what I mean with all this. With that being said. I hope you all have a great time, at least a better one than mine. And you find your own happiness.
holy yap wtf 😭😭
what
all of that over a mouse with an lcd screen
wow
headphones that go around your neck
not like i can do that with the ones i already have
a mouse with a screen in it is the most absolutely worthless creation to ever touch this planet
anybody know why i constantly have to select in sonar my headphones it auto selects different sound option when i turn them off
i didnt have that issue with previous headphones
where
SteelSeries Sonar has “Device Fallback” that will automatically switch the outputs on Sonar.
Fallback can be triggered when a device is unavailable (such as when booting your PC or unplugging a device), or it can switch outputs if it detects if a Nova headset is turned off, and automatically switch to speakers.

that seems so much effort for what is effectively the same thing as just chucking the keys in a box
Is there any app on phone on steelseries arctis nova pro Wireless or only pc?
The app currently only works with Nova 5 as it requires a new wireless chipset :)
Is there anywhere a good tutorial for sonar to set everything up cause idk how its possible that the arctia nova pro wireless sounds worse than my arctis pro wireless
How possible is it to get the replaceable battery covers for the nova pro without any art on them?
I would love to get some with the Dawntrail art on them.
Man I just canot seem to get teh hang of prism or creating custom lighting profiles for my keyboard especially
ive join the steelseries club just got the artics nova pro
Thank you
Can I ask somethink, anyone who owns Arctis Nova 7? or Arctis Nova 5?
That's a no
Windows 10 and newer
Really shouldn't be using 7 still tho
It's not getting updates anymore?
Support ended in January 2020
I'm not saying you can't use it. I'm saying it's not recommendable
Use whatever you want. You can use Windows Vista if you want 😅
Avoid using cyrillic letters, Automod doesn't like it 😄
Are you asking which you should get?
You can download GG here: https://steelseries.com/gg
GG helps create better connections with your gear, your people and your game through apps like Sonar, Engine, Moments and 3D Aim Trainer.
Okay :)
Amybody know why i cant purchase batteries for my country it says it cant be shipped to me. But bought already batteries for arctis pro wireless no issues

@stark rampart your thoughts of my Text? Again
why i can't see battery level?
@trail mountainfaulty headset or you haven't got battery inserted in either base unit and headset or you have other steelseries wireless products that are interfering with each other
I had same bug with my Nova 5, if you using dongle, try to fliping it of 180 degres
i bought it 2 hours ago... i guess battery are deads
cant be
battery in the station isn't charging and the headset isn't even on
with battery inside
after 2 hours?
1 hour is still 0% visually
thats wierd
@trail mountaintest the battery by charging it in the headset and connecting headset via left earcup
charging with usb C and after i will connect it by jack into headset?
or you mean charging the headset and try to connect wireless with pc
maybe charge and conect wia usb?
@trail mountainread instruction manual

and the station is charging the second battery, still 0%

if you buy something new and it doesnt work, return it.
should be common sense
who needs free followers on tt
i have question
How can i set a different voice channels
It says game instead of media and I want to create a new media-specific audio channel, how do I do that?
can you show full sonar? Do I understant that you trying to have specific app in media chanel? or?
I mean, how do I create a separate channel for the media I'm talking about?
I think my translating skill are little too low 😄 can you describe me exacly what you want to? sorry for that :/
becuse I dont understant that you want seoarate chanel for media, you already have one. so?
bro forget i told tomorrow
Is it possible to make macros that activate by holding the Steelseries button and pressing Ins key on Apex Pro?
Trying to configure a way to mute discord but this keyboard lacks those macro keys
yes, make a macro and put it on the meta layer of the ins key
What is the meta layer btw?
the layer you get access to by pressing the meta key (the steelseries key)
Dude that is amazing! Thx for the help. Is there also a way to change the color for meta layer buttons?
i don't think so
Will say it is quite frustrating not having a numpad. But they never made one for this edition so gotta make do
hey guys anyone knows why my mute button doesn't work? my headphones are Steelseries arctis nova 1
I just bought the nova pro wireless but my batterys are only charging to 25% is that normal?
See what we really need is access to a Macropad or separate number pad that works with SS GG software so I can accomplish this
hello, this may have been mentioned before but i cant find it, How do i stop my oled screen being controlled by moments? while moments turned on and playing a game i want it to just display my GIF but instead it shows the Steelseries logo.
so I keep trying to get the disco effect from Prism but just a little slower, I can't seem to recreate it or modify the preset, anyone ever able to do? I really like the per key random (every key individually is color shifting differenly) but can't figure that out
is there a help channel?
My Nova's will not register as connected whether on, off, plugged in, or unplugged and it is testing my faith in SteelSeries. Aside from connecting my phone via Bluetooth and watching a video the only sounds coming from the headset are when I use the built-in buttons. Please, if anyone knows what is wrong with them or has experienced this before help 
When I turn them on there is only one beep, as if it doesn't fully commit
It's been almost two years since the latest mouse came out. When will the new ones be released?
never
coming up on my third apex pro 2023 keyboard needing to be replaced due to leds
I swear ss just doesn't like to address issue
youd think after the second youd buy a different keyboard
I didnt pay for them
means nothing to me
then dont buy wooting
buy like literally any other keyboard ever if you dont want the pro
that's why I said Tyers only one other comparable keyboard
