Does anyone know where exact mouse tool is for Mac OS it used to be under engine but isn’t there anymore
@tender rapidshave u tried steelseries website ?
i cant find how to turn off side tone and am about to put this Nova7x back in the box and return it.
Yes they said it used to be under engine and it isn’t there anymore
I would love to have multiple custom eq slots as well
bak in the box it goes. 🤬
gotta love it when you get a new toy only to have it be unusable.
Mic is broken and no response on support ticket for 2 weeks 😦
No other way to contact
heard good things....what a joke
it doesent even see it connected in their software
Yep had ask them on twitter 2 days ago, they said they would look into it but still no updates
@tender rapidsi said the steelseries website not gg
@hollow blazeif it doesn't work return it from where you purchased it
@hollow blazeok so were you trying to connect it to a laptop ?
PC
had it connected with the USB C directly to the mother board and the engine could not find it
laptop or desktop ?
Desktop
motherboard make and model ?@hollow blaze
asrock x570 Prox
and how did you connect it using the usb from dac to pc ?
its the nova 7x no dac
wireless
connected with usb c to the plug in the mother board
"To set up your SteelSeries GG supported USB device, please take the following steps:
- Plug your device into a rear USB 3.0 or 2.0 port. Using the rear ports directly on your motherboard instead of any HUB ports or external hubs will ensure your drivers load correctly, and that the device receives adequate power."
and you did that ?
yes
just restarted my pc
still doesnt even show up in the gg software...and its plugged in
ok shut gg ignore gg
unplug replug headset into front usb 3.0
once done i want you to open control panel and open device manager
once there open sound video etc and see if the headset come up in there
ok
it does not have any side tone options under "Levels"
still wont show up in the Engine. everything says it needs to be updated, but without working software it cannot be updated.
@hollow blazecall me
Ik but exact mouse tool is under gg
🤷♂️ @tender rapids
ive spent over an hour trying to get these to work. its not worth my time to try any more.. gonna return and get some hyperx or corsair cans
they wont even output sound anymore...except the sound of me breathing
what a waste of my time. i will not be recommending these to anyone.
I have an MSI ge67hx on the SteelSeries app. I'm missing the RGB keyboard app. I only have the MSI aurora app.
the exact mouse tool is a separate download and isn't in GG
here's the download link for the tool, it was never in GG https://downloads.steelseriescdn.com/drivers/tools/steelseries-exactmouse-tool.dmg
can I ask for support about my headphone audio in here?
hello im having a huge issue with my rival 3
im not able to download the new update i just bought the mouse and i want to update it but so far no succesfull
it says critical error update failed and is flashes blue any help with this
please mention if u need more details on the problem or have a fix thank u
yes
see this by @uncut roost it will probably help: uninstall gg yes uninstall to do this goto search type control panel enter control panel top right if it says catagory drop it down and select large icons this will show the proper control panel apps then scrollto find and click "programs and features" then in the window scroll until you find steelseries and highlight and click uninstall then click back until your in control panel again and click "explorer file and folder options" then select "show hidden files, folders and drives" click apply and ok close goto c drive and delete steelseries from "programfiles" and " programfiles (x86) " and "programdat" unplug your device reboot and before you plug back into a different port install gg login to your account plug your device back in and activate sonar ....... it should then work proper
@amber vortex thank u i was just able to solve my problem it turns out u need 2 mouses in order to update the rival 3 but i appreciate ur fast response thank u
I have an Arctis Pro 7 Wireless and no matter what I do I get no audio from my left speaker. I've tried 3.5mm, bluetooth, wireless and I've tried two separate PC's, a PS5, and my phone. Any ideas or did I get a faulty headset/
Why is my brand new arctis 5 mic not working
not getting any audio
like why is it so hard to talk to a support person
is anybody avalable to help me with my headset, i think i messed something up
dm me if so
Anyone having audio set up issues, there’s a pinned guide that can at least give you a starting point to make sure everything is set up right. You can access it by clicking on the channel name and going to “Pins”
That definitely sounds like a #official-support issue you should open a ticket on their site
i followed the guide but its still happening
can you help me?
iv talked to other people but they have never heard of the problem i am having
If you’re still having issues after setting up correctly according to the guide then you can unplug the USB headset from the PC for 10-20 secs and then plug into a brand new USB port you haven’t used before with that heaset. If that doesn’t work then a clean uninstall and reinstall and you can see my comment a few posts up where I copied @uncut roost’s suggestion for the clean install
@winged bobcat if none of those 3 things work, you may need to open a ticket on their site
What is the problem?
so basically
i got this mic long ago, artic 5, and i never messed with anything
but then i seen the sonar setting
and sense then while im in a discord call
if im quiet and they are talking it completely goes silent
and iv never heard nor had this problem before in my years of playing
iv tried to look up how to fix it
on youtube, the steelseries site, guides
nothing helped
iv deleted the steel series program many times
deleted discord many time
s
and nothing seems to fix the problem
have you ever heard of it @amber vortex
Is this a usb headset or 3.5mm
i believe usb, it has a wire i have to connect to and the other half goes into my pc
iv even tried moving the thing to a new port in my pc and it still didnt do anything
And it just happens in discord? Does the mic work on all other apps/games?
yea it does
like iv used the web browser version of discord and it works fine
but when i use the discord app, it always screwes up
Can you screenshot your discord voice & video settings
Nah I’m going to sleep, just thought it would be quick. But basically just wanted to see that you had Steelseries Sonar mic as the input and sonar chat as the output
I can’t think of another settings that would cause issues with the mic on discord. but you may need to open a ticket or Google that issue with discord specifically
@winged bobcat make sure you follow the clean uninstall procedure I copied above, you can make sure all of your windows, drivers, etc are all up to date too
Keep in mind it may also be a discord setting or something
figured it out. uninstalled from device manager and re-plugged it, and it then worked.
I have Sonar installed and active, but it keeps changing the default output to the HDMI outout on my monitor rather than my Arctis Wireless headset, its really annoying, is there a fix?
is there a way to see battery level of the Arena Wireless Mic?
Hello guys im using the Arctis 7 wireless and with or without sonar my ingame sounds are not that good, any tips? 😦 footsteps in COD2 are very hard to hear
Hello, if there is a problem with the headset, can anyone help?
Hi! I’m only here to see if this is a common issue since I haven’t found any guides to help me solve it either on the website or Youtube. I tried to recently pair my Arctis Nova 7x headsets to my iPhone 12, and they paired up and were connected but I was not able to see its battery percentage or hear audio from either side. It was as if they weren’t connected at all. Was there something I missed?
Hello, if there is a problem with the headset, can anyone help?
@wicked raven@bleak jetty@urban swift
Please read the rules
Hey, when using my artics 7 wireless headset on my PC all the audio works fine however iTunes doesn't work on it, any clue on how to fix this problem?
are you using it via usb or auxiliary
hold down [WINDOWS KEY + R] and type in "mmsys.cpl" no quotes. Go to the [Playback] tab and make sure it is set as default audio device. since itunes probably doesnt have a way to specify which audio output you want, you have to do it in windows this way.
hey why cant i find the arctis mic
same thing as previous user, is this device visible from sound settings? WIN KEY + R, mmsys.cpl
its visible
i already did that
Unplug the USB for 10 secs and plug into a different USB port then check again
yeah, try a different USB port maybe
ok
see if you can try a different type, aka: if was in USB 3 port, try USB 2
also, youre saying it shows up as a playback device and microphone input for other apps too?
like discord sees it ?
in that area?
yeah
thats odd
its only happening in gg
Did you replug it into another usb and no luck?
i had an issue where my arctis 3 wouldnt update firmware with GG. i had to go into device manager, uninstall the device, and then plug it in again
you could try that also
yeah
uninstall device, reboot, plug back in
Off topic, but is this set up like this on purpose? You’re not using sonar for discord
correct, i am merely showing the location where to check settings
Ok, you can try a clean uninstall and reinstall of GG. I can copy and paste the procedure if you’d like
yeah i was going to say, if uninstall in device manager doesnt work. i would reinstall the software and reboot
ok ill try
From @uncut roost “uninstall gg yes uninstall to do this goto search type control panel enter control panel top right if it says catagory drop it down and select large icons this will show the proper control panel apps then scrollto find and click "programs and features" then in the window scroll until you find steelseries and highlight and click uninstall then click back until your in control panel again and click "explorer file and folder options" then select "show hidden files, folders and drives" click apply and ok close goto c drive and delete steelseries from "programfiles" and " programfiles (x86) " and "programdat" unplug your device reboot and before you plug back into a different port install gg login to your account plug your device back in and activate sonar ....... it should then work properl”
Does anybody know if the asus vivobook pro 16x is good when you travel alot? Like a good accu
whenever i close steelseries it deletes the value i entered in there. how do i fix this?
Do you have the windows settings to default to sonar, there’s a set up guide pinned that will walk you through it all as a start
uh idk
please don't tag @ everyone
do you have the latest version of GG? An update went out today that has a fix for this, I think
@ripe oasisyes open gg open settings turn off fallback
i did it doesnt
That's doesn't work
@gleaming pewtereh did you hear we can perform miracles here unfortunately for you the impossible we cannot do
@stiff girderhttps://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060998272-Is-GG-not-opening-

I just got done moving my computer and reorganizing my setup, and after I replugged everything in and rebooted, my Arctis 7 does NOT make a sound, neither the speakers I have plugged in nor the headset itself. I tested other speakers and they produced audio just fine, so I don't know what's causing them to not work at all
@timid gulluninstall gg yes uninstall to do this goto search type control panel enter control panel top right if it says catagory drop it down and select large icons this will show the proper control panel apps then scroll to find and click "programs and features" then in the window scroll until you find steelseries and highlight and click uninstall then click back until your in control panel again and click "explorer file and folder options" then select "show hidden files, folders and drives" click apply and ok close goto c drive and delete steelseries from "programfiles" and " programfiles (x86) " and "programdat" unplug your device reboot and before you plug back into a different port install gg login to your account plug your device back in and activate sonar ....... it should then work properly

multi track audio is an update for moments, not sonar or anything. plus, I think it'll only show up on new clips, not old ones that were recorded before the update.

Cannot find my arctis nova 7 on bluetooth on other phones
, I paired it once on bluetooth on my mac before firmware update I think
Still having my problem from this morning! I tried more methods this time, like completely restarting the pairing process, updating the firmware while the headphones were connected, and still, no sound is heard when I play anything on my phone through my headsets… Is the Bluetooth just not working or something?? It says it connected and everything.
@last tapir is it wireless with a dac ?
boys has anyone got SteelSeries Nova Pro Wired ?
nope but i do have the wireless headset
Nova 7 no dac, just the normal one
ok check up on the steelseries support page for your headset and see if there is a way to clear the paired

hey, im just having a problem. my Arctis 7+ is not working, and shows this in GG. It is currently plugged in, and will not turn on. The mic shows that it is muted currently, even though it is not turned on. any fixes?
Will moments record audio through five9 and salesforce ? 7P+

Hi everyone!👋 I wish to share my experience in solving problem with my keyboard (Apex Pro TKL WL (2023)). Once I have written about problem, in short – bought, connected, installed (with CRITICAL firmware installing error) and after some time it start blinking and, in some seconds, starts thousand applications on my computer… about result it’s not necessary to explain. How I understand it is because creates new keyboard profiles with crazy macros.
So, support… sorry for that… - pain in the ass. First thing is that you want to solve problem because you don’t understand what to do… sand back and ask for money back or it is some kind of … lets call it my hands can grow from wrong place… sometimes. But support has some kind of standard texts (looks like – copy/paste), which kills a lot of time.
Second thing – I’m in Europe and how I understand support is in about 8-12 hours difference with me… it means that if I have question in 17.11. then I will receive my answer 18.11. (Sometimes two-three days).
In the end support doesn’t tell me anything for one weak (ticket is open).
But it all was lyric… So, what I get from support it is instruction how to RESET to factories my keyboard 😆 … and how to uninstall GG and my drivers… last one was good thing to understand that my hands grow from right place. But problem wasn’t solved.
And then I found problem – there are two users on my computer (Windows) and if I install everything on my user account it works till moment when I start using second user account. I tested this for many times, but yes, it is so… last thing that I have done was – second user account disabling. For 4 days there were no bugs.
I think this not good that this bug exists… and maybe someone will get something good from my experience.
I am planning to buy the new SteelSeries Nova 7 but a lot says the sound quality isn't that good. Is it that bad really or not?
steelseries engine will not load, tried reinstalling but it wont reinstall now. have a profile on there that id really like to get back. anyone got a fix please
got it working
dont really know how though-
Hi! I'm using an Arctis 7P+ and the mic isn't working, I tried to hardware reset it but it still doesn't work. Any solutions?
My volume nor mic work on my arctis 7+
Any one know why the arena 7s will not sync with SteelSeries engine all of a sudden. When i do it wont save any of my settings or listen to what i put into the engine.
@tender rapidsok now it is time to go back to the shop or submit a ticket to the steelseries support you have done most things i asked the only other thing i can suggest is connecting to a mobile phone or another persons pc ie a friend or family but if it's still not working then you have no other course of action but to return or ask steelseries for some support

@loud notchok so you have been to the steelseries website support section and read for your device to see if there is a solution or explanation there ? and then there are the pinned messages on this channel to check
@west yachtuninstall gg yes uninstall to do this goto search type control panel enter control panel top right if it says catagory drop it down and select large icons this will show the proper control panel apps then scroll to find and click "programs and features" then in the window scroll until you find steelseries and highlight and click uninstall then click back until your in control panel again and click "explorer file and folder options" then select "show hidden files, folders and drives" click apply and ok close goto c drive and delete steelseries from "programfiles" and " programfiles (x86) " and "programdat" unplug your device reboot and before you plug back into a different port install gg login to your account plug your device back in and activate sonar ....... it should then work properly
I can’t find any useful information on the website
I actually just sent a copy of a tutorial to our support team so they can put it up on our support pages. It should be up soon! In the meantime here's a screenshot of the text
thank you dean
Thank you!
Did everything and it still doesn't work
Pretty annoying, I've had it installed for over a year and all of a sudden it doesn't want to work
Just infinite loads and the oled display freezes
It did update a few days ago I believe, could this be the issue?
iv done everything you have said and arena 7s still do what they want it will not listen to any input i do on the engine
SS engine is getting really annoying now, paid 150 for a keyboard amd 180 for a headset just to have the software be glitchy. Not good enough
@west yachtcheck the pinned stuff
The sound isnt a problem its the visuals and the light i cant do anything to change it. It will not change color or type
latest update moved lighting for the arena speakers to the "prism" tab that should now show up in Engine
@valid trenchi told you not to chew gum while playing on the computer........ you'll have to submit a ticket as that is hardware fault
Hello I have a nova pro wireless and the scroll wheel on the base station is very buggy( see video )
Any fix for it ? Am I the only one ?
Locked at max volume
@rain jackalunplug wait 10-20 secs and then replug diff usb socket if same navigate to system then select reset and do a reset on it and see if that works if not then you will have to return them and get them replaced
already did reset and that's not the only problem atm
but the most annoying for sure
@rain jackalwell i would return for a replacement because mine does not do that
it was fine for a few weeks when i received it
The battery percentage bug on my steeleries arctis nova pro wireless plz fix it fast
I hoped a software update could fix it

do you hear a low pitch beeping sound when connected to a phone in BT and no sound is playing ?
The battery percentage bug on my steeleries arctis nova pro wireless plz fix it fast text same if you have the same bug

i have the arctis nova pro wireless and the chat mixer is not working. when i turn the knob nothing changes with volume. my system output is sonar gaming and my communications is sonar chat. any help?
@valid trenchhow long have you had the device ?
I have a artic pro wireless and when I set it to gaming mode I have chat and ingame volume all of a sudden my discord is now mixed with my ingame sound
@hushed shadowto get the chatmix setting press the button once do not hold or on your headset press the volume button in once d not hold it
so discord has gone very quiet
@tender rapidscall me
so you don't want any help ?
I do but uh why do we need to call?
so you can follow voice instruction instead of me typing and also you can share your screen makes for a much better help experience
Yes, unplug the usb from the PC for 10-20 secs and then replug. It’s a glitch after an update that causes the chatmix to glitch as well as the device fallback feature
ooh
uh
let me see
july 3 2020
wait wtf my keyboard is over 2.5 years old now?
I had same issue that didn't work for me

@tender rapidsuninstall gg yes uninstall to do this goto search type control panel enter control panel top right if it says catagory drop it down and select large icons this will show the proper control panel apps then scroll to find and click "programs and features" then in the window scroll until you find steelseries and highlight and click uninstall then click back until your in control panel again and click "explorer file and folder options" then select "show hidden files, folders and drives" click apply and ok close goto c drive and delete steelseries from "programfiles" and " programfiles (x86) " and "programdat" unplug your device reboot and before you plug back into a different port install gg login to your account plug your device back in and activate sonar ....... it should then work properly
just uninstalling now
my mic has gone off
@uncut roost I can see you are speaking but cannot hear you
you are coming out my speakers let me install gg
then Ill do it xD
hey, im just having a problem. my Arctis 7+ is not working, and shows this in GG. It is currently plugged in, and will not turn on. The mic shows that it is muted currently, even though it is not turned on. any fixes?
literally anything will help, i havent been able to play for about a week because of this
@static anvilhave you done a windows update or any form of firmware updates etc ?
no, i have not
@valid trenchyeah new keyboard fixes issues lol seriously you'll need to submit a ticket to steelseries support for the keyboard issue to see if there is a fix
if it says "reconnect headset" it's detecting the dongle is plugged in but the headset isn't on. If you can't turn it on then you might need to do a hard reset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5GCeRSQ538

nahnah, i know this badboy aint dying on me yet
ok, what can i use if i cant find a paperclip?
oh and im trying to find the "submit a ticket" section
but im unable to
aah thx
no i dont
toothpick ?
nope, btw, the mic has the red light on it, but it is off
as ive said its been like this for like a weed
do you think this will work
Bro, open a ticket. Go to the steelseires website and go through the chat
This is a community manned server, it’s not ran or manned by steelseries employees. Copying and pasting the same thing over and over is not going to get the response you are looking for
@static anvildid you push the mute button on the headset ? as that means it's muted the red light now you need to push it in to turn it off .... and no idea you can always try it if it don't then think submit a ticket or return to where you bought
ive tried to turn it off multiple time, it wont work
the mic is red no matter what
@static anvilthen return for replacement
i dont think i have a warranty, is there anything else i can do
@static anvilcall me
alright give me one second
My Arctis 7+ is all setup and working but I'm confused on something. In windows for playback I have the following options 1. Arctis 7+ 2. SteelSeries Sonar - Gaming 3. SteelSeries Sonar - Chat ... which one should I select for primary audio and/or for gaming?
Please see the set up guide pinned in this channels main page as it will explain exactly which one for what 👍🏼
If your game has a main audio output you will select sonar gaming, and if it has a chat output option then you will select sonar chat and input sonar mic
Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I promise I tried to RTFM lol
If anyone has used Arctis 9 wireless, have you guys faced issues like headset not turning on at all sometimes, instant power off when battery power drops below 80% and 20%, headset not turning off automatically after the set time of 30 or 60 min in the app? I am quite frustrated as SteelSeries has totally ignored this headset from releasing any bug fix or faulty line up. Even my replacement headsets have this issue.
Thank you so much!
Im having a problem with setting up my steelseries headset to the app. Im trying to get color change for it but my headset wont show up
Im using acrtic 5's
I have arctis nova 7 wireless headpohnes and my power button is just stuck on green and I cant turn it off or find the hardware reset button
the wired connection works fine but the wireless wont connect
Hello, i'm using the Moments capture option on GG software, somehow since today all my clips audio is delayed also there are multiple audio tracks now, has this to do with a new update? if not is there any way i can fix it?
ok I'm going crazy I guess
I have the Nova Arctic Pro wireless and its been working flawlessly till now. Connected to my PS5 it works but to my laptop forsome reason the audio input does not come up even thou the DAC is powered and detecting the headphone as on (ps5 is off)
HEYYY i been using the Artic Nova Pro Wireless and mid game the headphones disconnected and gave me no game audio but my mic was working. I already tried uninstalling steelseries from my computer and resetting the headset from the dock device thing . Buutt when i try to pick what device to use the headset does not even show up at all im so confused
this is my exact problem
its annoying to work all day and be ready to come and play and the first game im in i have to leave and just not play at all
yea i dont know if this is a firmware update that happened that messed things up but I hope they fix it, bluetooth is not a sufficient replace not for a device that costs this much
Is the Nova's not Dual Endpoint?
whats crazy is my mic still works because i switched to monitor audio but i could still talk to people
you mean two audio outputs? yes, 2.4GHz which isnt working for us and Bluetooth which is still working
yea and the DAC and headset work on my PS so its prolly something w/ the GG app
So i cant turn "Discord Audio" down and leave "Game Audio" higher ?
it works on console while not working on pc??
yes
i never did this, I just turn down my friends voices in Discord down
My Arena 7 speakers have the RGB lights on despite it being off in GG. I have no idea what else to do to shut it off. Any tips?
I understand but sometimes you need to make a quick change on the spot. So the "Mixer" that controls the "Chat" Section should when lowered lower said audio and it dose not.
Now im confused if the product is just faulty or this was a clear under sight from SteelSeries
@proper forge i dont know if the problem fixed for you but plugging it 20 times in the various ports (usb-a and usb-c) made it work for me
for much longer i do not know
im bout to try that rq
i think they dont like when too much i splugged in because i just unplugged my controller not even the base station yet and out of nowhere it started working
so basically i have to just hope it doesnt happen again mid game😕
yea I dont know how they make this expensive product with this random "bug" that's pretty bad that keeps happening
exactly
why my mic is picking up literally everything, echoing and feedback?
what device is it
Arctic 7
do you have the mic pushed into the headset when this happens?
aka: not pulled out next to your mouth
because if its not pulled out, it will pick up anything coming through the speakers on the headset and feed it back through the mic. it has to be pulled out
its always pulled out
"Firmware update available" on my gamedac, but how do I update it if it doesn't show up in steelseries engine]
all good
not sure then. sorry.
same same lmk if your able to fix it
Is Sonar without Spatial Audio "Stereo"? On PC it's not letting me use any other spatial audio like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X., the option is greyed out, when using Sonar. If using Engine, then the spatial audio options are available. I am using an Arctis Pro Wireless.
I've got an issue that only occurred recently (not patch 27.0) my Sonar has been working perfectly for months and when I went to play games 2-3 days ago and had no game sound at all, made sure all drivers were up to date and engine was up to date ect - after playing around for some time I've worked out that I can only play game sound through the chat setting and not game mode - this removes all sonar benefits. I can't play any FPS as all the sound seems to be stereo and the sound quality is terrible. I've tried every fix issue on the websites I can find - this is my last resort in the hope someone has experienced the same and has some assistance. I'm using the Arctis Pro Wireless
When I turn this setting off I just hear no sound at all. I'm trying to turn it off to see if its the source of the static noise I'm hearing from lower noise frequencies
hey does anybody know what the rapidly green flashing light means again ive just needed to reset my headset
just got my new nova pro wireless and i LOVE IT - yesterday my chat mix worked perfect on the controller, but today, it does not work at all - any ideas what to look for???
This happens all the time to me when my computer resumes from sleep. I have to kill the GG App and restart it.. .. and sometime go into Sonar and configure the GAME/CHAT devices again.
Hmm - just started the pc from off - i looked in GG but will turn it off and open it again and see if it helps 🙂
Another thing that gets me is the USB 1/2 connection. If you have two devices connected make sure you selected the correct one on the base. (It will say the current number on the top)
i just have usb 1, but now I can't even get the chat mix up...argh..
ah - pushed the button wrong 🙂
atgh - it worked so well yesterday...
ahhh - the good old take the usb port out and try again made it work 🙂
is anyone else having an issue with the latest update causing sonar to not work properly? I get no audio with sonar enabled.
I use my username and password login to the GG application, it said my username or password is incorrect. But I can login the steelseries successfully using the same username and password. Is anyone else having this issue?
If you’re using a VPN try without it
Steelseries sonar just load and nothing happens?
If you’re using a VPN try without it, if not then check that your firewall is not blocking access.
If neither of those then I would just uninstall, reboot, install
I’ve sent an email to support i’ll let you know if i get an update on this
Q: do any of you have Meta Keybinds on your keyboars to Media ?
Does it still work with Play/Pause?
yep you can bind media keys to the meta layer (or any layer really)
I know, i have a minimal setup like this
the play/pause is not working for me anymore since the keyboard update
i wanna see if it's product&software combo bug or a general one
I don't have that KB version on hand so I can't test for sure, but I'm not seeing any issues on my KB
hey guys i need an information about apex5. Last night a little bit coke was poured on my ' A ' key. Now this key and key's switch dont work well. So you know WASD are the most using keys. I want to change my switch of A key with F8 or F7 it doesn't matter So moral of the story can I change sides of the switchs of apex 5 ?
those keyboards got a firmware update in the latest version. so i'm saying i don't have those keyboards to know for sure. https://techblog.steelseries.com/2022/11/16/GG-notes-27.0.0.html
Thanks! I'll go file a ticket or something 😄
i think the only SS keyboard that has removable switches is the apex 9, so if you spilt something on the apex 5 you'll probably need to talk to a repair shop about it
Ey everybody 😛 just bought an Aerox 5, does it support calibration to the surface ? 🙂
i believe most SS mice will auto-calibrate when it's turned on, but there's nothing you can control as a user. only like two SS mice have the ability to change lift-off distance (I think it's the prime+ and the rival 650?)
yep, and 650 has (or had cause now you said it it seems like it doesn't work anymore :)) ) a thing where if you long press the DPI button for 5 seconds the wheel turns white to let you know it's calibrating to the new surface
correction, still works. just had to switch profiles
Steelseries arctis pro wireless
i've got 0 sound coming through it at all despite windows showing it does
you sure the output is not set to Sonar by default? happened to me more than once
thx 🙂 - do you know how to make "button 9" a dpi switch - so when pressed is like dpi 400 - and released, its like - "normal" ?
You can follow the set up guide pinned in this channels support page and make sure everything is 100% correct.
yea, try and reset the base
still nothing
This is a quick and dirty video on how to make a sniper button, or create an extra layer of buttons on SteelSeries mice. This was just a one take video that isn't edited so sorry if things move a bit fast!
This was recorded in GG version 18.0.
Text Tutorial:
Step 1: Create two configurations for your device in Engine. One of these configurati...
Everythings identical and still nothing
Unplug the usb from the pc for 10 secs and then plug it into a completely new usb port and see if that works
Q: if you scroll the wheel from the headset, does the base indicate your volume level ?
hello i have a problem Sonar cannot find any of my steelseries device
on discord and windows everything is good
yup
try this, from the base press the big wheel once and go to Source and reselect PC
there you go, now you gotta change the devices from discord
you're using the Sonar but they are not mapped to the actual device, that's why you can't head anything...but... i don't know why you don't see the headset in the sonar
is it working ?
my gf's asleep in the call so shes not speakin so i cant test
but testing it shows microphone workin
sonar can't find any device
windows recognize them
that happened after nvidia update
no sorry
i only see the sonar devices there, not the actual headset
after realtek update
and they are set to some virtual device output
what i can do?
can you go to this menu and see if the headset is showing up there?
Why does my nova pro wireless sound so distanced from me? It sound so empty when my artics 7 sounds full
everything seems ok
see if the actual headset is showing in there, not only the sonar devices
no
you might need to reinstall them
realtek updates sometimes mess up the other audio devices
how can i reinstall them?
sorry but im so noob
i search on google but nothing
hi on my apex 7 tkl are some keys blue even if i turned off the brightness why?
which keys?
Hello !
working for me
You can create an account ?
yep
I confirme i can't when i creta my account i have an error 500
The site is probably down for your specific region if it's working for other people
is it possible to reach support via discord?
Hello, I just bought an arctis nova 7 wireless headset and I would like to deactivate the ambient sound of the microphone but I cannot find the parameter, could you help me?
No, if you want officials support you need to submit a ticket through https://support.steelseries.com/
Hello. I purchased a Stratus Duo. Connected it to the PC, everything works as it should. But it is not visible in the Engine in the SteelSeries GG application. What could be the problem?
engine doesn't support the duo
where can i do a ticket
Thx.
Click the little chat bubble in the bottom right on the main page then go through the prompts until it lets you enter your contact info for a ticket
Hello all, im having a weird issue where my steelseries arctis 7 dac isn't properly working in discord, the headset works in skype, but people in discord cant hear me, but discord itself detects and can playback my sound just fine
Try turning off all the voice processing stuff in Discord audio settings like echo cancelation, noise suppression, and auto gain control
i'll try that now
yeah it did nothing sadly
Please check the input in discord is set to sonar mic, and the output yo sonar chat. There’s a set up guide pinned in this channels main page that may help
It's set up as you say, but still nothing, discord mic check indicates mic works fine, but my friend cant hear anything
Close discord and GG, and unplug the usb from the pc for 10 secs then plug into a different USB port if possible and see if that works
i'll try that now
Hello i have bought a pair of arctic 7 + wireless. just to check how does it connect does it have its own dongle i put into the pc?
restarted both discord and gg and changed usb ports, still the same
can you post screenshots of the following 3 things
-
Sonar page showing game/chat/mic
-
Windows sound panel > playback devices
-
Windows sound panel > recording devices
Hi, my chatmix scroll wheel doesn't work on my Nova 7, do you have any idea why ?
In Sonar select game DAC GAME for game and chat
What headset is this? @shrewd fiber
it's an actis pro+ game dac
You’re not using speakers right?
and it has been working previously, just these past day it stopped
no im using only the headset for gaming, but i have speaker connected that i can use if i want
and i can hear my friend fine they just cant hear me for some reason
Set both sonar game and sonar chat to the same input, try headset earphone for both and see if that works
didn't help
That’s all I had, if you don’t get an answer here you can try to open a ticket on their site
yeah, thanks for trying
Maybe try the other output for both, both on speak
it's just such a weird thing
unless it's some pesky driver issue? but since both windows and skype and discord and GG does detect my mic and i can test it successfully, but when i try to talk to someone they cant hear me
If it’s discord, only, it could also be a Discord setting you’re not thinking of
yeah could be, i tried looking but i cant really see any clear setting that might be the problem
For me at least the chat mix function didn't start to work until installed sonar
I have a steelseries arctic 7+ and have been getting a lot of crackling when people talk or when i watch videos. any help with this?
Unplug the usb from the pc and replug then it should work, it glitches out when there’s an update
Okay it's work thanks 🙂
Hello guys, on my Arena 9 with Engine, I can't set the rgb leds to the color I want.
Even when I try to set them on "static light" and change the color, they are all different and switch randomly when selecting the color.
Am I the only one? Nothing found on the net...
silly question, but are you selecting the zones before changing them?
@tulip totem yes, tried to create new configs, even tried to uninstall both GG and the driver but nothing worked, the issue happens since the update I think
Bit of a nooby question. I've just installed GG and Windows is now using that for my output/input. However, it seems to be using my webcam mic instead of my Blue microphone. i can't seem to figure out how to change it to use my Blue mic. Any help? 😛
Hi, I have an APEX3, and now when I want (in French type tête (for head in english) it types t^^ete. Could yo help me for that ?
well I kinda mean like this? You need to click and drag to select the zones before changing them. I know it sounds silly but just checking if you're doing this
(the recording software didn't record my mouse location correctly but you get the idea hopefully)
Yeah I'm selecting areas, hold on I'll make a quick video to show you 😉
and also checking that you're connected over the dongle and not over bluetooth?
OH SORRY I'M A DUMMY
I misread as Aerox 9 not Arena 9
Check the "Prism" tab in Engine, the lighting moved there
Haha that's what I thought 🤣
Yeah but prism only show two speakers and nothing is changing while using it
Maybe I'm just not smart enough to set rgb colors 🤷🏼♂️
WAIT
just checking you're using this prism tab?
I didn't tried since I reinstalled Engine and prism seems to work now
In fact, I'm finally a dummy...
Is this where I'd ask for assistance with setting up a headset? The support page on the website wasn't able to help
Anyone else have an issue making an account where it says you can't login because your account is "Inactive"?
this is what it says mid download when i try download steelseries.gg
can anyone help me????
Bruh, i ordered a Apex Pro TKL from amazon for £179.99, and recieved the Apex 7 TKL. Another thing is that once i checked the order i got, the price change to £249.99 for the TKL while the full is £180 lol
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME??? I cant download steelseries.gg because it says this
@tepid lintel @south creek @lapis crow @north path
Please help me
I have an Arctis 7p+ and my mic picks up virtually everything and when speaking on cod in game I sound like I'm on a highway. Anybody else find a way to fix this?
Cod just sucks
@tight pelican If you've looked up 100 tutorials then it's possible it's defective.I have a SS keyboard and it's for a range of LED
i have the apex 3
Also I know cod sucks but in party chats(PS5) I have mic echo
could try turning your mic monitoring down
I have the Apex Pro
What your LEDs?
i have never bought steelseries this is my first product
no im talking about for your echo
Oh ok, I'm a big steelseries fan, I've got a mouse, headset, keyboard, but the mics on the headset have always been like this for me I'm switching to PC soon
The echo has been an issue with my headsets forever I'm hoping it's just ps5
If it's not how you want it id suggest sending it back and getting a different one, although I do recommend the Apex Pro it's does me good
Has a whole bunch of preset color patterns built into it too
this does do aswell (as far as prestes) but when i try them it doesnt work know i dont mind what its stuck on i just want to try other colors
My guess is it's an error in it but I could be wrong.
i need help with my nova pro wireless
so im connecting them as bluetooth to my pc and they only give me sound from 1 source (chrome)
if i stop the youtube video for example and switch to a game, the sound of the game cuts off
the game sound would only play if the youtube video (or chrome in general) is outputting sound
im literally playing a long youtube video on mute just to workaround this lmao but its not a fix
SOOOOOOO Artic Nova Pro Wireless stays connected but the sound will cut out on its own for NOOOOOREAAASON at alll its sad i have to go back to using my cheap walmart turtle beach
Hello I got artic pro wireless but the ear cushions are flaking away are not as good how I first got them , uk fan thanks

Hi,
Is the APEX PRO TKL WIRELESS not available in nordic keyboard layout? And also is there not a non-TKL version of the wireless?
Isn't sonar the headset virtual surround sound feature? 😄
yes but there is a person @hexed night who is very informed
Cool, I'll give that a shot. Thanks a lot
About 4years @uncut roost

Hey y'all, is this an appropriate place to ask for tips in working with the gameDAC?

Is my Nova Pro not meant to show up here?
Is that the only two inputs sonar shows for the mic?
Yeah. I just uninstalled VoiceMeeter and now I have no inputs...
Perfect! Lol I was just about to tell you that. No prob, sending you a dm so we don’t crowd the chat

Hi, I recently upgraded from Windows 10 to 11 around the same time as 27.0 steelseries and my PC keeps loosing all It's audio devices. I was advised to clean re install steelseries and see what happens but I've been stuck on this loading screen since the reinstall. I'm pretty bad with tech stuff so any advise would be appreciated
Is it stuck or slowly moving
Stuck but flashes to show its trying
Can you cancel out of it?
Not without task manager
How long has it been on that screen?
25 mins maybe? My WiFi is around 60mb/s
I would kill it, delete any remaining folders/hidden files, delete the download file. Redownload from the ss website and then try again
The app itself is 7.0 upgrading to 27.0 if that makes a difference
Ok, that was plan C lol ty
Yea it doesn’t take 20 mins install
See this from @uncut roost “have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling ie uninstall gg yes uninstall to do this goto search type control panel enter control panel top right if it says catagory drop it down and select large icons this will show the proper control panel apps then scroll to find and click "programs and features" then in the window scroll until you find steelseries and highlight and click uninstall then click back until your in control panel again and click "explorer file and folder options" then select "show hidden files, folders and drives" click apply and ok close goto c drive and delete steelseries from "programfiles" and " programfiles (x86) " and "programdat" unplug your device reboot and before you plug back into a different port install gg login to your account plug your device back in and activate sonar ....... it should then work properly”
Yeah I screen shot and did this yesterday lol I'll try again anyway though
Okay, so.. this is kind of a frequent problem but sometimes when I turn on my pc Sonar Gaming will not have any sound... but when I switch to Sonar Chat there is. I want gaming to work though..
Any way to prevent it or fix it?
Anything?
hi when i want to start sonar it shows me the setup screen but when i try i cannot select any output or input device. what do i need to do?
I followed the guide and got an infinite loading screen when it launched the app
Please see the set up guide pinned in this channels main page, it will help you make sure everything is correct
Nvm I'm in!
alr
i did that and still cant fix
You can try the clean uninstall/reinstall procedure mentioned above that I copied and pasted
What is the difference between these two?
Is the Nova Pro XBOX will work on PC too or not?
because if yes I will buy it and save some money
It will work with PC, just keep in mind the second port will only work with Xbox so if you ever plan on having the pc and console connected
@rose shardpersonally i would save everything out of your windows ie backup everything you want then clean install windows 11 if your on a laptop you will need to rufus a windows to go onto a external usb drive if you don't know how to do this call me
Hello, I captured 4 clips yesterday, and they're all stuck on one frame. You can, however, hear all the audio in the clip

hello! has anybody had any issues trying to create a steelseries account?
why have you ?
I just bought the7+s is there a way to ilk some more volume out of them
they are fairly quiet as somebody thats used to having there ears bleed
I don't see the volume limiter option in the engine
yeah 😦 when i try on the website is comes back with server error 500 and when i try on the GG app it says 'our service is having trouble responding'
@crisp pumice https://steelseries.com/signup
server error 500 when i try that way
@robust zenithhave you checked the pinned messages in here incase there is a solution
@crisp pumiceyou using a vpn ?
i'm not, no
can you power cycle your router ?
i'll give it a shot! thanks for your help btw
@crisp pumicenp
still server error :/
guys i am watching guide but the thing is his Eulaizer start from -12dB mine start from 0 how do ichange that ?
the volume limiter option is completely missing in gg
I have a problem with the arctis nova 3, when playing quiet sounds I hear a very loud noise and the sound stutters (this prevents normal use of the headphones)
- This happens regardless of whether I have steelseries gg enabled or not
- The problem occurs only when the headset is connected with a usb cable
I tried using different USB cables, plugging them into different ports, but that didn't help
does anyone have the setting for arctis 7+ in warzone?
@narrow turretmouse click the round thing and drag
@crisp pumiceok do this windows search disk clean-up and deselect everything except for temporary internet files delete those close all webpages first then once done reopen and try the site again
@narrow turreti have no idea please ask in #sonar

If you're trying to recreate that EQ for yourself then your points need to be in the same spot. So instead of placing your point at 20hz it needs to be at 60hz with a -11dB gain and looks like a low shelving EQ
Can someone help me?
Pick low shelving for that. You can watch the video
let me show u
this is what i am trying to make from a guide on youtube
i did same points but mine start from 0dB
You need to copy the info from each of the points from the video and change the gain, Q factor, and EQ type for each point to make it match
So all of these numbers and EQ curve look identical to the EQ in the video for each point?
yes i copy them all
Do you have any of the bass, voice, or treble sliders below the EQ set to anything besides 0? And did you copy the points in the exact same order that they were set in the video?
these are junk
thats open my eyes on something that when i click on the first one it was high shelving , while he has low shelving that was the porblem
sigh for 180 bucks I kind of expected better from you steelseries
thanks bro its all good now ❤️
O well back to walmart they go
150 dollar set of headphones and you don't have a real active noise cancling mic and relie on software todo it
@weak geyserawe thank you for the rescue
@robust zenithhave you tried the pinned messages in here ?
No
and I will not be
I am not going to trouble shoot a 180 dollar pair of headphones
back they go
it should just work at this price point ok
i agree if they don't take them back get them replaced try again as you may have a faulty set as they are mass produced
I am a technition I spent a good hour trouble shooting before I ever got here
I know what I am doing
im out of patience for today especially at 150 bucks + tax
god can someone help me 😭
I can hear, but my mic isn't wanting to work.
discord isn't picking it up neither is the sonar virtual cable app
yea vitrual cables and fake 8 ch you can't turn off
where the deal breakers for me
O well back to my hyperx lol
i have a logitech mic that just doesn't want to work with my logitech camera
@robust zenithmy purchasing ethic is if you buy it has to work correctly and without fault out of the box so i totally agree with you for a good experience it has to work if it don't back it goes for a replacement then if that don't work i get a refund
@robust zenithi had a razer kraken before these i am really glad they broke
@sick elmdoesn't your logitech have an inbuilt mic ?
yes
@sick elmdisable it
@uncut roost still not working 😦 just got my friend to attempt to make an account for me and it didnt work on his computer either. but it did work when i tried to make an account for himself. so something to do with linking my email is going wrong

@uncut roost what should be enabled in sound settings. rn i have the gaming and chat active under playback and steelseries mic enabled as default
@tender rapidsreturn and replace
@uncut roost can i come screenshare with you and see if you can help me
@sick elmright if you want the logitech to work remove headset disable sonar reboot then retry
@sick elmtry that first
@sick elmyes but lets get it working standard first
@tender rapidswhen was the last time you totally removed discord and reinstalled it and not just the update they give as it doesn't totally uninstall
files get corrupted
yes but you need to get rid of all folders in program files ... progam files x86 .... programdata then under your name in user in appdata any folder in the 3 directories in there
what do you mean? Where to enable low shelving?
I tagged you by mistake sorry
ok
@tender rapids@marble locustcan you both connect to another device ie phone or laptop or tablet and try to see if it's the headset ty
I have the same problem on my phone, I checked it already

@marble locustyou need to return and have it replaced
I'm trying right away
@tender rapidsok now back on the desktop or laptop ? in a different usb
@tender rapidsok call me
ok
The process of replacing the product with a working one is more complicated if I bought the product through a different store than the steelseries website?
How do I update my headset if the app keeps telling that nothing is connected meanwhile it is connected...
So frustrating
it didn't work 😦 game output play music and chat stop sound 😦 not playing together

Anyone that can help me here tried everything

I received the headphones a week ago and have been using them since then, from the beginning they had the previously described problem
Ye return them bro ask for new ones
Im struggling with my artctis 7 Headphones i cant hear anything on discord and i turned sonar on
Sonar is working in a weird way for me as well. It creates two profiles, "gaming" and "chat". The audio goes only in one of the two audio channels, so what should be the purpose of it?
@olive streamit's for chatmix
Never in my life I am ever buying steel series products
Indeed, it should work either way, i have it perfectly balanced in the center now.
I am picking up music sound (Chat) and game audio (Gaming), but it's not working as intended i think. I can hear the music only.
@moderator how do I solve this I am losing my mind tried everything
What a waste of time
Hmmm ordered some on sale not looking great on here
