Does anyone have the Aerox 9 mouse
Has this happened to them
Not even the bluetooth works
$185 and nothing lol
Seriously
need help with setup app
hely folks, im trying to update my Aerox 9, i get thru with the update but it keeps saying "critical update". wahts the latets firmware for the mouse and the dongel?
Yup stuck on the same thing
and sometimes it just disconnect randomly
And when i try to connect my mouse with the USB-C cable my mouse goes nuts
happen in-game....
and acording to the engine it eats up the battery in like 10 min
i heard 80h?
This mouse just came in and i can't even connect it
Hi, I just got the gg app and trying to add background cancelation for my headset, when I click the mic test button on it, it doesn't seem like it recorded anything or there's nothing playing back to me
Won't even work with the USB cable connected idk whats going on - I don't want to buy another 1
They don't even respond to emails
i dont know man
if i bought a 2 year warranty on amazon for my headphones
how would i get a new pair
Anyone know why this is happening?
Anyone got 7p with ps5 no sound when trying wireless
on my arctis nova pro wireless headset the back button on the base station randomly stops working. I already did an RMA for the headset but the replacement I just got has the exact same problem. Installing/unintalling steelseries gg doesnt help
So anybody who has the problem with the Nova pro wireless with dropping audio/garbling you need to use a high speed usb-c port. That finally fixed my problem.
anyone have a problem after the new update with arctic 7+ ? my headset sound is working but my mic for discord, games and my PC wont work or detect any sound when i test it but when I use the GG engine and use the settings to hear yourself I can hear myself. Anyone have any idea what it could be ? literally not touched my pc or headset since last night just hopped on today and its stopped working.
This is probably a silly question.. BUT, here goes nothing 🙂 I play PUBG on XBOX SERIES S (yes yes i know, console noob lol) 🙂 Is there any EQ type of software i can use? It seems GG is on PC (I havnt tried it, so im not sure if it's how a "save function" that would save EQ settings and carry it over to my xbox) seems the sound is VERY low on the xbox **BTW I SHOULD I SAID THIS ON THE FIRST LINE, BUT I HAVE THE Steelseries Arctis NOVA 7X Wireless with the built in bluetooth and 2.4 GHz Dongle)
Check the #1044045472945418303
bruh atleast ur 7+ is working
mine literally wont work
it isnt connecting
I need help why isnt it connecting
its like the headset died
My Aerox 9 doesn't even connect - Nothing even the damn Bluetooth doesn't work ($185) on a product that came today out of the box
It died because the battery died, then now im charging it its no longer working
All other SteelSeries Products worked no problem - I don't know what happend like its so depressing - I just ended up buying another one 😦
I even tried it on a Different device to try and fix it - And nothing same damn thing man (Like i don't know what happened truly
Does updating v 28.1.0 take a long time?
Shouldn't take as much time as the previous updates
My rival 600 couldn't connect to both my linux pc and my mac - no lights, cant move the mouse, nothing.
it just came out of the box
dead
are there any reasons for this?
hi guys
I have a steelseries arctis 3
I noticed that it echoes when I want to control my volume on Discord.
Do you guys know how can i solve this problem?
Even though I hold it at mouth level, the sound is low.
Howdy y'all, I'm having a problem with my Arctis Pro + Gamedac and my Arena 7 Speakers. Is the Arctis Pro + Gamedac even compatible with the Arena 7 speakers, and if so, how do you properly set it up?
Any one can help me ? After this update
My headphone stop working
Microphone is working but not the headphone
Can't hear anything
Same thing here. Updated my APEX Pro TKL Wireless just fine, but my Aerox 5 keeps wanting update as soon as I plug the dongle back into the usb cable. anyone been able to solve this?
same happends to me
oh wait a sec... it now updates my USB dongle 😛 lol - might solve the problem
nvm - after ending the FW update both on dongle and mice. it went straight back to "critiacal update".
Exactly, got the same thing. I've updated my dongle like three times
Dunno if its related with a new GG version. Got the GG software updated and right after restart, both firmware updates for keyboard and mouse popped up
Since there's a few of us with the same issue, seems like a bug. would be awesome if we could get a official reply
Hi guys brought arctis 7p for ps5 and getting no sound when trying wireless ps5 shows headset connected but nothing sound wise
yo just got my 650 wireless mouse and im trying to have the colors change but every time i click save it never configures the colors i want not sure what to do😭
does anyone know where the reset button is on the arctis nova headset?
Hi, the firmware update in the latest version of SteelSeries GG is not completing correctly (on both my Aerox 5 and my Prime Wireless), is it only me experiencing this? My Apex Pro TKL updated just fine instead.
do you know if there is like a reset button somewhere? is it the little pin hole in the left earcup
There is no reset on the nova, you can re-pair it to the DAC but that’s about it in the settings. What are you trying to fixv#?
its the nova 7 that i got
i saw the little pin hole on left ear cup
the issue i got is that for some reason after it idles i have to re-pair the whole thing again for some reason it won't just connect with the dongle
Too early, lol yea the nova pro is what I was talking about. Did you Google there’s probably a reset procedure if you say it has a pin
On the right ear cup there seems to be a little hole that fits the pins that was used for reset in arctis 7
But yeah steelseries gave 0 support on resetting and nothing online
@amber vortex the thing that freaked me out a bit is that there are two of these pin holes, but one is significantly smaller
advise against poking like a sim card ejector down it?
I would Google it first ,if there’s a reset it would be listed somewhere lol
did the search, no one said anything on reddit, nor does steelseries have support for it
but surely with firmware and bluetooth software updates when you first plug it in and connect there is a way to reset
If there was a reset procedure it would be in the manual like how it is for headsets that have one, you can always open a support ticket on their website through the chat
they yeet me to like an email form it's so stupid
give here a german support ?
@amber vortex you see that little hole on the right ear cup, the one without the microphone extended there is a hole that fits sim card ejectors or so
I see what you’re talking about I just don’t know if that a reset hole or just a glory hole lol. I guess press it? What’s the worse that can happen 🫣
@wicked raven hello can u help me ?? have a problem whit GG version 28.1.0, i have steelseries kayboard Apex pro, and have on my display from kayboad system monitor and this say me ever CPU temp 124,7°C and original temp is 52°C, and te new update for may mouse can not install, he say install succefull and i can this update ever new start. sorry for my bad english i from germany .
i suspect its a reset hole, still waiting for steelseries official support. Took this photo from Gadgetry tech youtube review, he disassembled this right ear headset arctis nova 7, and you see the little button in red circle? it lines with the hole. So I suspect it might be some sort of reset button idk though
Hey guys and girls, is any1 else having issues setting up output device in Sonar?
I can set it up just fine under "chat" column but "game" column doesnt let me choose any of the output devices i have connected to my PC
Are you using a vpn or the firewall is blocking it? If neither of those you can reinstall, just make sure to screenshot all of your settings and presets as it willl reset everything
You can start with the #1044045472945418303 and go from there e
i remember all my settings but i need to reinstall right?
If you’re logged in steelseries fine, and there is no firewall or VPN them probably yeah
ok
does anyone have arctis pro my leds arnt working (do not turn on) any advice?
@amber vortex would you by any chance know? sorry for the ping
i also have the game dac
No idea unless you have them off in the settings? If that headset has a reset procedure you can try that? You would have to search their FAQ or Google that one though
Best of luck! Hope you get it figured out, you can always open a ticket on their website and if they’re under a year old should be under warranty worse case
wonderful, i have opened a ticket already but apparently they don't work on weekends aha. but tysm :)
@amber vortex it also doesnt appear on my steelseries gg
the game dac does
would that be something?
Did the new GG update break Sonar for you guys too?
I can't select a device for "game" in the MIxer and the changes to the Mixer aren't saved for me after restarting GG
Thanks for helping! Steps mentioned there didnt work tho, Its really weird. I switched my default output device in windows to "Sonar Chat" and everything works (i can switch between devices, in sonar, like usual) but the "sonar game" device just doesnt let me choose which device to use. It doesnt have red symbol is doesnt have anything, jsut says no device selected.
Weird.
AND it detects the audio, that is playing
Is this on an Alienware laptop by any chance?
system monitor on my steelseries headset display shows 110 C CPU TEMP while its 30 on NZXT cam ?????!!!!
No, just a regular prebuilt PC
I m pretty sure this must be due to some software error, since the Sonar is working fine it's just this device (Sonar game) that is broken
Check your dm
happened after the recent updated anyone know hot to fix it ?
Hey there question the last steelseries GG update destroyed sonar so i reinstalled it however now it only sees the gamedac chat output is this the right one ?

gg softwar new install and than install update
I use one of the side buttons on my Rival 3 mouse for Discord Push To Talk, if I press left or right click while holding it, it stops registering the side button being held. Is there a way to fix this?

steelseries prime mini wireless firmware problem
hi, I have the arctis pro + gamedac and ever since one of the last updates the "gamedac Game" option has disappeared. I am not able to make it my default device and only "Gamedac Chat" shows in Playback sound settings. Do I use sonar or my gamedac to play with settings?
same issue as me. i just set it to chat
works same as game it just changed to a single option weirdly
Hello! I am not sure if this is an issue or not, but I recently got Arctis Nova 7s and today, I noticed that when i turned the left side earcup/hinge it made this faint clicking noise. Im not sure if this is normal, or is an issue, but its been bothering me
my steelseries arctis 9x headset isnt charging
or that is what I think at least because after I turn it on, it turns on then turns off after a few seconds
fixed this ^, but idk how to pair it to my pc
i pressed a random key to move my application to the other monitor. is there a default shortcut to do that for the steel series apex 5 keyboard?
Hm. I have a problem with Series Pro Wireless. Battery the battery does not hold a charge and charging full in 2-3 min... I found battery with 1300 mah vs 900mah stock , but it has 3.7V vs 3.3 stock.
Will it harm the headphones ?
is there any way to make the minimum window size smaller? it doesn't fit on a vertical monitor but i'd like to be able to have audio controls on there
Anyone was able to upgrade the prime wireless firmware successfully?
Does anyone know if I can update the firmware for the Arctis 9x wireless on a mac?
The update part won't disappear. I updated it like 5 or 6 times already and it still wants me to make updates
I have the same problem with aerox 9
I am going to try uninstall Engine and reisntall
If it fixes that let me know please

Hello. I have ordered a steelseries product 26th of november and the delivery email said it arrives on 1st - 2nd of december. Today when we took a look at the delivery status it said "preparing for shipping". Is that normal or is this just because there are a lot of orders or something like that?
i just got the arctis nova pro headset and every time i tilt my head or turn my head sideways its like it turns on noise canceling or something, the audio changes when i turn my head to the side or tilt my head and changes back when i face forward. Does anyone know how to fix this ?
I just got the Arctis 7+ Wireless and its not turning on, I know its dead, but im charging it right now, ive left it charging for awhile and when I press the power button its still not turning on, i cant even see if it is charging or not, is there a way I can see?

Guys I need help, my apex 7 keyboard system monitor is showing me that i have 112°C on cpu, I check it on different applications like dragon centre or HWMonitor and there are absolute normal temperatures 40°C - 57°C, whats going on

Does anyone have any idea why my arctis pro is just completely ignoring the settings im putting on the engine for the lights? I want to just disable illumination but its not changing no matter what i do
i already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the engine and it didnt change
Its not beeping
Well hopefully 💀 i try to reset computer and system monitor in Steelseries engine but it still shows 112°C (CPU is max on 50% use)
It seems like the engine is causing all our problems
Damn it should show some sign of life mine came straight on green slow flashing

Hello, I bought the Arctis Nova 3 today and after an update was not properly completed, my headset only flashes red, but it works to the extent that you can hear it, but the rest does not. Anyone know how I can fix this?
I plugged the cable into my switch and it showed it was charging

aerox 3 wireless doesn't work, it doesn't pair
and when I turn on it doesn't even blink white
does anyone know if i bought this it would work on my arena 9? so i can plug in my ps5 and PC in at the same time? i wont have to unplug one or the other
Hi guys, any1 having issues with aerox 3 firmware update? I can't even start updating. Shows greyed out "update" button
I, on the contrary, do not turn off)) I wanted to reset it, but I guess I'll have to wait until it fully discharges itself
im charging it all night and if it doesnt work I’ll let it discharge
Okay. This sonar thing is infuriating.
A while back, my Steelseries Engine updated me into Sonar. Ever since then, my chatwheel on the headset isn't working and the actual sonar itself isn't adjusting itself to the chatwheel so I basically got a forced downgrade from steelseries with this kind update.
Is there any easy way to safely downgrade the headset so that it'll be configured as the day I bought it?
did the latest update killed chatmix? It was working fine, today my pc updated gg to 28.1.0 and i can't get chatmix to work at all
My headset is arctis nova 7. Windows 10
If anyone has link to download gg version 27 i would love to get that :/
Unplug the dongle from your PC and plug it back in. That should get the ChatMix in Sonar working again. Everyone once in awhile the GG auto update will break it for some reason
hey can you help me out please?
Hey, whenever I have Sonar on from steelseries gg software, after a while my headset starts making "crackeling" noices or however I can explain it. Like sparks from a fireplace IRL
if I reboot my PC, the noices go away for a few minutes, and then they come back
If I disable Sonar the sound stops.
Is there a way to fix this?
The issue started today on this PC, but had the same issue on an older PC a few months ago
Upgrading from version 27.1.0 now, to test if that solves it
Looks like updating software fixed it
btw I factory reset it, and it works! maybe try that? It may work for you since we are having the same issue!
So, my software must have updated automatically to 28.1 (which I am not happy about) and now will not even launch at all.. what a nightmare. Is anyone else having issues with this?
Via the pin method I tried that already sadly
?
oh man that sucks :(
How to install new firmware for my prime wireless? I tried on Engine , but when are complete says to update again....
reinstall engine, then do it again
Yeah I know rips
someone help me i just recently bought the steel series arctic’s nova 3 and when i plugged it to my laptop it showed a troubleshoot saying something ab a generic audio drive problem
hey guys, arctis nova pros here. I use them on xbox and pc at the same time. bt to pc. and the dock is usb to my xbox. worked fine for months. today when I connected my headset to my pc via bt, it made two beeping noises after connecting and now I can barely hear my discord call. It still works as intended but has turned discord quiet. and yes discord is turned all the way up now in every way i can
chris brown? lol
yeah lmao
oh wow lol rare
only suggestions i have are make sure your game and chat audios are set properly
make sure to do this in discord also
also if you have a chat/game slider on your headphones, make sure you havent knocked it by accident
so it was all set like its supposed to be. But outbound keeps autosetting to just the headset option.
thinking I need to plug in my headset again.
checked that last suggestion already
if you use sonar, go into the settings for that and make sure thats all set properly
thats all i can think of
anyone know when plarium receives the voucher codes from steelseries?
Maybe?
do you have issues with it?
Not that I know off
Updating yesterday was a little wonky but that’s more update/software related than the actual mouse. I few other peripherals are having update/software glitches and issues
i cant update because it will not connect via usb, just flashes green
does not register on pc apart from half second flashes on devices screen
I had to use a second mouse to get through the second part of the update, even after the update gg was still showing it needed it
You can try that if you have another mouse you can connect at the same time, once that’s done maybe try and re-pair the device
i plug aerox and dongle in, 2nd mouse also. the start button stays greyed out
i also get that
they still haven't fixed artis 5 bug, right ? where you have to unplug your headphones almost everytime you turn up your pc
Are you following the prompts correctly @frank helm ? You have to first connect the mouse via usb, then turn the wireless mode witch to off. Then unplug the usb dongle, plug in the usb cable to that adapter and then the dongle to the adapter
After doidn all that and getting it to finally update firmware after a few tries, it was still showing me the critical update even though I can see it updated the firmware on the mouse and dongle. I just ended up uninstalling, rebooting, downloaded gg from ss website and installed again
But that deletes all your settings and presets so if you’re going to try that make sure to screenshot everything you need to set up again in gg engine and sonar
tried reinstalling gg a few times. did nothing lmao
issue is, mouse just flashes green when plugging in
bottom one keeps flashing in and out
it registers for half second then disappears then repeats
My acrtis 7 just won't pair via steelseries gg says not connected looked about 400 different results i swear lol
is your dongle plugged in
anyone having issues with cloud sync? i cant get all my old device profiles
I just did this today, I plugged in the mouse, set it off., did the update and then it asks for the dongle to be connected to to pc and receiver to dongle. I did that. It took a few times like unplugging the mouse after update, reconnecting it etc etc but I got it to work
My arctis 9 doesn’t connect as my input when I turn on my pc sometimes, and I have to restart it to have it connect. I’m on windows 11 is there any fix?
i have updated my aerox 5 wireless but when i set it to wireless it still shows a critical update available .Tried updating dongle several times but the update still persist in Engine. My mouse shows version 1.10.6 and dongle 1.3.1. Any fix for this?
its brand new btw
Hello friends! I have SteelSeries arctis pro + gamedac, and now i have a issue about my "GAMEDAC", I used the headset for a long time, everything worked perfectly, now also with the exception of one problem. On my GAMEDAC display, where the temperature of the CPU & GPU is displayed on the CPU, it shows 109-113 degrees Celsius, this was not the case before, it showed everything correctly. In other programs, the same NZXT shows the correct information. How to fix?
when wired the update disappears so it looks to me that the mouse is updated but not the dongle as the update comes back when i set it to wireless again
@quick notch its the same for me. CPU temp is off the grid. Probably a bug
It works for me and shows, but it does not show as before, as I understand it in farenheit, not in Celsius
someone help me i just recently bought the steel series arctic’s nova 3 and when i plugged it to my laptop it showed a troubleshoot saying something ab a generic audio drive problem
it says celsius for me but its obviously in fahrenheit i believe
Yep, need fix for that ._.
same issue for me 😦
so I just got the arctis pro with the gamedac does anyone know how to make the gamedac only output to the headphones? currently its outputting to the headphones and the speakers I've plugged in
any help would be good
Hey everyone! We just reinstalled a PC using the Rival 500 and seem to have lost its profiles after formatting. Any suggestions on how to possibly recover these as they should've been stored on board?
Can confirm same bug, was fine on v27.1.0
Is it possible to set the Sonar game channel as my headsets game channel? I get no sound if I set it to that
I can also confirm the same bug
is there a way to remove engine apps? I downloaded one from github and I want to get rid of it. I tried uninstalling the app
Uh hello
Recently I got a Steelseries Arctis 3
I googled a bit about it since I wanted to set up my noise cancellation on it but it doesn't seem to work, then I realized it's not supported on Engine anymore, does that mean I should just not use engine at all?
Hiya, engine tells me that my Rival 3 (non wireless) has a critical update, which I've tried to install multiple times now. Mouse still works, but engine still tells me I have a critical update.
Idk if this bug has been sorted, I have the Nova Pro 7 Wireless, and my mic keeps disabling only on discord. It works when testing, and in other applications, but its muted. Mic works in the discord website thing, but not the app, i did all the trouble shooting per GG, and DIscord, still no dice. I Really dont know whats going on here.
to also note, i have followed the Windows troubleshoot thread making sure everything is set up correctly.
Maybe you have push to talk enabled
Has anyone gotten the Aerox critical update loop solved?
i think its on all mice, since i have it on the rival 3 too
Ok, so its prolly GG Software related then
Hello. I have a question. My default is the Nova Pro Wireless, but I want that whenever I turn it off, the output automatically transfers to my speakers and the input to my hyperx mic, but what happens is the input does go to hyperx mic, but the output goes to hyperx mic as well (i have 3.5mm headphone connected to my hyperx mic).
anyone has an idea how to do that?
gg app just had a update and i had lost all sound, turned sonar on and off and it fixed the issue.
Yup. Uninstall SteelSeries GG software and install again. After that update your device. It may work
eh what do i do if my mouse does not accept updates? it "updates" in app, but then just asks me to update it again
Hey so I'm running into a problem with SteelSeries GG lately. I don't own any steelseries products myself, however I use SteelSeries GG for it's spatial audio and equalizer. For whatever reason, the program just won't open. It's still working as an audio device, but it won't open no matter what I do, it appears for a split second in task manager when I try to open it, but then it just disappears. This started happening after I had to reinstall my graphics drivers, since for whatever reason, they decided to break on me (Thanks AMD 😒 ) Does anyone have any suggestions?
For context, I'm running Windows 10 21H2 (19044.2251 specifically)
For now I'm gonna try to reinstall steelseries gg and see if that helps, but if my graphics drivers break again after doing so, I know there's a conflict somewhere
Welcome

i bought the aerox 5 (not wireless) and it appears as a keyboard and doesn't work can anyone help me?
damn nice keyboard u got
maybe something with ur pc settings ?
it says driver error
maybe u got old version of steelseries gg
it just made me download a new version
idk then
i have the arctics 9x headset and ive been having problems w spactial sounds. whenever i try it without opening valorant, i hear perfectly fine but when i open valorant it stops working. like i can hear back and front but not left to right. in order to hear spacial sound again i need to quit valorant and restart steelseries
Hi dude, I've some problems. I'm using Arctic 5 v2 with Sonar
but I see that ChatMix is software managed, not with my hardware tuner
How could I switch from Game to Chat with it, without use the GG app?
why does ur little keyboard software thing say my cpu is at 110+ celsius even though its at 36 💀
It’s glitched from the last update, hopefully they’ll patch it soon
Hi. i am using sonar on my artics 7 but for some reason my chat mix slider is no longer working . please help
On the nova pro we get a glitch after an update where the wheel doesn’t do anything, only way get it to work is to unplug the DAC from the PC and then replug. I would try that with your wireless transmitter or re-pair the headset and see if that works
"May work" doesnt seem you have tried this solution of yours 😂
hey i just got the arctis pros and they're really uncomfortable even for short term use cuz my ears are touching the sides and it hurts, are there any ear cushions i can get to replace them to alleviate this issue? i'm looking at brainwavz and wicked but i'm not sure if they're any thicker than the originals
It works for some people and not for others like a lot of the work arounds we come up with, he’s just trying to give ideas. Don’t try it if you don’t want to 🤷🏽♂️
can only speak about the WC, yes they have more stand-off than the original ones. Tbh though you’ll probably just have to try them since everyone’s ear shape is different
how fast do they ship to asia?
No idea, you would have to ask them
ok nvm the shipping is too much for me lol
has anyone tried brainwavz cushions here? and does it help with the ear touching the side issue?
I tried and worked for me. But I am not sure if it will work for everyone 🙂
anyone has the dimensions for the stock arctis ear cushions? i wanna compare the thickness to other third party cushions
Does this "loop bug" cause any harm or damage other than just being annoying
Hello im back again. I really need help please. Whenever i use my arctics 9x headset without having any application open, surround sound works soooo well but when i join a call in discord or open up valorant, it stops working. Not in game but also when i play it off the steelseries gg try out thingy. Does anyone know how to help?
have u gg software new install ?
How can I make my voice a little bit more deep than the preset Deep Voice?
anyone else having this issue? Discord no longer makes any notification sounds and screen sharing does not use Audio unless I switch my Desktop audio to Chat in Chat mix
In discord do you have the output set as sonar chat? Below is a sample guide of how sonar x windows x discord should be
I got my new nova pro wireless yesterday and I am having a small issue with external microphone sidetone level, I can barely hear myself after I plugged my HyperX QuadCast in the DAC. Anyway to fix this issue?
yea
hm is this problem come whit 28.1.0 update ? i think u must wait for fix update i think all have a problem :/
ive had it since august but never realised how bad it actually was
oh okay :/
https://support.steelseries.com/hc/categories/202952207-Headsets i think this is what for u, support help u
anyone?
My display for arctis nova pro is only showing the number 3 instead of it's batterry level
anyone know why?
my keyboard (apex 5 steel series) keeps disconnecting and connecting back no matter which port i put it into.
i have the steel series software and drivers should be updated, i don't see the keyboard on device driver
but i see it in my settings
I Cant verify my email so what i do
has anyone noticed the system monitor system through engine apps to be reporting very high cpu temps
im getting 30 Celsius from hwmon in bios but 104 in sysmon through engine
having same issue,
When I click on engine it just shows me this, does this mean that I don't have anything compatible?
Thanks, will try
yes I do I even have all the settings showed in these suggestions ... it started happening after the last Sonar update it worked fine before
Could it be a fahrenheit/celsius setting? 104 degrees fahrenheit is 40 degrees celsius
nope all set to Celsius
Hm, weird. Tried mine, both on the keyboard but also on the Nova Pro DAC, works flawless
for my GPU its perfectly accurate but for cpu its just reporting super high temp
pc isnt even under load its just wild
Maybe its a CPU/mobo thing? GG software taking values from wrong input?
maybe
originally with my current build it wouldnt pull cpu temps so i set it up thru bios to report and its sitting at about 36c there but through the app in engine its weird
it seems to work when I put Headphones as my default audio instead of SteelSeries Sonar-Gaming in windows... thats so bizarre..
sonar dosent work for me when i tur nit on it shuts my pc off
Hi, I need help with my steelseries apex 7 keyboard.
What's up?
I have the apex 5
Might be able to help IDK
What do you need help withy @visual vine?
It might be a stupid questions, but It's a question regarding the OLED screen. When i press the multimedia button, a menu pops up, but how do I select any of the options in there? When I press the button again, it closes the menu.
you need to press on the scroll-wheel
Anyone know if you can lube omnipoint switches?
Are apex 3 keys removable?
they are removable
Are apex 3 keys removable?
@solid forge yes they are but i don’t think work woth mechanical keycaps because it’s a membrane
you need to press on the scroll-wheel
@cold marsh I didn't know the scrolling wheel was also a button, thanks!
no problem! more than happy to help! :)
Hey y’all I’ve been using the rival 600 for a bit and it’s gotten some wear and tear on the plastic sides and they move from their original spot, I am curious as to what would be my best course of action, thanks in advance
Anyone know if you can lube omnipoint switches?
@drowsy halo
Idk, i would love to know aswell
@dire arrow you can make a support ticket on the website and if it's still under warranty you should be able to get some replacement grips but a faster method would be to just reglue them yourself using gorilla glue or something similar
my twitch sub ram out yesterday, time to get twitch prime
Thanks @weak geyser
Hello I need some help, any spanish here?
or english, i will try to explain my problem
I have a Rival 600, and it worked correctly since today, when I click (left click) it works perfect but when I hold pressed the buttom (depends the part I hold) it doesn't work
If u want I can send a video to show the problem
but I press the left click, detects the first click, doesn't detect when I hold it, and when I stop holding, it detects again as if I clicked againç
And I can't play shooters
@velvet prawn When did you purchase the mouse? If it is still in the warranty period you can create a support ticket on the SteelSeries website and get a replacement through them
Standard warranty period in the United States is 1 year from the time of purchase and 2 years for the EU. You should still be in the warranty period so all you'll need is the receipt for proof of purchase
I'm not sure what languages support offers, but it should be listed on the website
can u send me the link please?
thx <3

Hi my apex m800 w key stopped working and i dont know how to fix it :/
Hello, I know this is an older and no longer supported model but I recently encountered trouble with my Steelseries Apex M800 where my circle macro keys do not react to me using them to switch keyboard configs
Its weird though, the circle keys will work as anything else though, such as other keyboard or mouse presses, just not launch config buttons
Any help?
Also none of the built in keyboard "games" are not working either, such as lights out, minesweeper, and snake for Im presuming the same reason, I have no idea. Any support would be appreciated at all!
Tbh im also having the same issue along with my w key not working
when i try to setup dolby atmos on my arctis pro gamedac, it says its compatible with "headset earphone (gamedac chat)" but not compatible with "speakers (gamedac game)"
but i want to use it with gamedac game not gamedac chat
when will steelseries apex 3 be in stock?
Unknown. You can sign up to receive an email notification from the website as soon as it is tho @river pine
I've set the Arctis as my Windows default Playback device and the default communication device in Recording.
Is what I use for Disc
Hmm
Have you boosted your Mic levels as well?
😬
That's about all I can help, I'm not on the support team.
There are some trouble shooting guides on support.steelseries.com
GL!
Are there any companies that sell custom membrane keys?
aren’t membrane switches like one thing? not sure so sorry if I’m incorrect
@cold marsh wdym "one thing?"
Yeah, most companies use all the same type.
I'm wondering, because I'd like to have a stylized keyboard and potentially make more and sell them, but Membrane keyboards are cheaper so that's what I'd like to use to start off and experiment
ah ok
so earlier today my apex pro came in, and everything's worked wonderfully except that when I get a discord notification, (its set to the default animation where the num pad lights up green), the number pad leds turn off, but occasionally one or two stay on. The only thing that turns the leds back on I've found is to go into steelseries engine and change the rgb color or use the preset option on the keyboard, can anyone help with this?
Anyone else know of a company that sells custom membrane keycaps?
@tender rapids If you're having issues with the Arctis Chat (Discord Certified) output, go into sound settings through control panel, click on the properties of the Arctis Chat option, click the advanced tab then lower the audio quality from DVD to CD. That should fix the issue
Do you have the 2019 versions or the earlier model? I had that issue with my first pair of Arcits 5s but then I swapped them out for the 2019 version and both audio channels sound fine on DVD quality
This is the box design for the 2019 editions. The earlier version have a different design + the box is a lot chunkier
Then you should have the 2019 versions. It's also possible it could be an issue with the ChatMix which is causing all the crackling because I never experienced any issues with the Arctis Game output even on my pre-2019 ones
I only had a problem with the Chat output crackling and cutting out on DVD quality and switching that output to CD fixed the problem. If you're having problems with the Game output too, well I really don't know how to help you. Sorry
Actually, have you tried completely uninstalling all the firmware/drivers for the Arctis 5 then reinstalling the firmware through SSE?
Oof
I haven't had an issue with any of my games, although they aren't the specific ones you described. Maybe you just got unlucky and received a pair with a broken ChatMix that's causing the issues. If you still can I'd recommend RMAing them through SS Support and getting another new pair. Third times the charm, right? Otherwise, you can buy a stand alone ChatMix if you wanted to see if that really is the issue. I highly doubt it's a problem with the headset itself and rather just the mixer/preamp in the ChatMix dial
Np. Sorry I couldn't do more. It seems like you've already tried all of my troubleshooting tips lol

They're great headphones when you actually get them working though lol
how long do the artics 7 take to reach a full charge?
My original pair of A5s had crackling with the Chat output that I fixed by lowering the quality. I never had an issue with the Game output at DVD quality. I ended up returning my original A5s because I could get the 2019s for cheaper and I've never had any crackling issues with both outputs set to DVD
I'm pretty sure it's just the actual ChatMix that's causing the crackling because it's having issues processing the audio. That would also explain why it messes up in some games. If you don't want to swap out the whole headset then buying a new ChatMix should fix the problem
Oh I guess I forgot to mention I have magical powers lmao
GG
Anyone else have any issues with the most recent ss engine update?
wdym
any ETA on linux native support for SteelSeries Engine?
hey, just got my arctis 1 wireless and I plugged it in but the mic isnt doing anythig?
I just plugged it in, not sure if there's anything else I need to do
plugged it in to aux?
the usb c to usb a adapter and that one into a usb port in my pc
oh
I can hear everything doe
Has anyone got the arctis pros? When im using the DAC and have discord audio and a game on each retrospective channel, all audio becomes very distorted
@tulip totem what do you mean with the right plug for the headphone?
oh right
yeah ive got the top one
@tulip totem it doesnt work with the recessed one
yup
would've loved it to be that but no it isnt
yeye
like I literally just got it
One of my audio inputs just dissapeared
Looking device manager it shows that that sound input has like a warning sign on it
How do you update the drivers for your arctis 5?
the engine i think
I mean I can hear everything but ill try
Do I just reinstall the engine?
Ok I'll try that
@tulip totem
nope
I dont
this is my third headset
previous 2 died
ik
just really annoyed with it
been waiting like 2 months for my previous one
then another month to get money back
then a week for shipping because the store messed up
@tulip totem ok so it fixed it self
every time i try to change the arctis 7 config it changes back to the original one
any help?
i basically cant change the config
in the "steelseries engine 3"
i‘ve been using the rival 500 for a while now, and i got the qck vector and the bungee with it, i have been using all 3 products for a while now
i suppose i had set it up wrong, because recently i have noticed that the little part of the cable closest to the mouse before it goes up into the bungee has had its outer layer of rubber scraped off (practically as if i had sandpapered it, idk) and now i can see the blue/cyan layer inside of the cable from that side, i am scared i might damage the mouse cable further and therefore the mouse‘s functionality itself, what would u guys recommend for better cable protection?
i believe it had scraped off due to dragging on the mousepad
so i can‘t really claim any warranty (and i don’t plan on trying really) as it‘s not a product defect, just wear i guess, but i‘m still trying to prevent it from breaking prematurely xD
Is there a way to change the engine configuration presets I have made to change with a push of a button through stream deck? Or a way to change without having to open engine each time?
Maybe some sort of Macro
@spare matrix thanks i'll look more into a macro. I can't imagine i'm the first person to wonder something like this but i can't find anything online.
Hello. I have a problem. My Arctis Rival 3 for some reason defaults to a non default preset when SteelSeries Engine 3 is launched on Windows login. How can I fix it?
I thought so too
They don’t show up in mine either
You can’t really customize it
Oh rival 3
I make sure that your mouse is recognized in your windows settings first.
If not have it do a search for a mouse or try unplugging it and plugging it back in again
Also make sure SteelSeries Engine is updated
Literally my arctis 1 wireless came in the mail yesterday and the mic already stopped working. Yes it is charged and it is paired, and I tried physically connecting it with the 3.5mm jack but the mic still didn't work. I also have all the settings using it as the input.
someone else had the same problem earlier and it just fixed itself
https://discordapp.com/channels/299040363123965952/737323443908771931/737612378014875779
I have set one of my buttons on my rival 600 to launch configuration and set it to change to the config i want, but it doesn't do anything. Anyone else having a similar issue?
actually, none of my button actions work. I just bought this mouse and installed engine last night. there was a firmware update and I installed it, and I noticed my mouse never came back until after I unplugged and plugged it back in 6 hours later, as i went to sleep thinking it'd be working by the time i woke up. Is there a way to delete the mouse and start over? I'm wondering if the fw failed and messed up the mouse
@civic river where’d you get it at?
@abstract vigil Best Buy. I need to return something else... so I'm considering just returning this mouse and swapping it with a different one
maybe the FW update broke it... i don't know but since i can still return it i might as well do so and start fresh with it
Yeah I’d say exchange it
Many people have had this problem from what I can see on reddit
I’ve seen no solution as of now
@hollow trellis sorry to bother you but do you have any idea how to factory reset a Rival 600?
@abstract vigil The thing is that the mouse works perfectly, but it started resetting to a wrong preset, and it's getting annoying having to change the preset on every reboot. I think it's a problem with the Engine, and not with the mouse.
hey this may be a stupid question but I got my arctis 1 wireless earlier today but how do I charge them?
do I just plug the usbc cable into the headphones and the usba into my pc?
im pretty sure its a micro usb but yes
well it keep charging if I turn my pc off?
that depends on your pc
there is obviously
when i m using a student code i have to pay 13 € of shipping
if i m not using a code it's free
yeah because the total is under 59,99€
but the discount codes are meant to bring the price down not to bring it up
Unfortunately the student code only applies to the item, however it does bring the order cost down below the free shipping 😅
Couldn't you combine it with something else so that the total cost goes above 60 EUR again and triggers free shipping?
idk what to buy tbh
A hat or something
Some velcro strips? :P
i already have a noice cable management lol
can someone help me

@prime egret message the sub mods
Hi can someone help me setup up my arctis 7 because I am really having a lot of trouble with the sound
@prime egret message the sub mods
@naive oriole are they the discord mods also
you have to enter on the sub so ask them through message moderators
thanks!
dont have a pair (yet), but be sure to check out #official-support to see if you can get any solutions there
put in a ticket with the CX team if you cant find any answers there
kinda basic solution, did you try unpluging and pluging?
maybe try reseting it to fabric settings
sorry can't find word xD
oh I know, factory settings
Hey hey. I have had an Arctis 7 Wireless for over a year and lately I’ve been having a lot of issues. I emailed before my warranty was expired to get them replaced due to the multiple reasons they were broken (sound wheel spins forever, left ear piece turns around 360 degrees and I’ve been hearing static a lot. I replaced them by purchasing HyperX headset but am willing to send them back and continue using Steelseries if I can get a response back on my ticket. I have been waiting longer than I’ve wanted and really would appreciate it. Thanks
i have a light on my keyboard the doesnt work properly at all, and i was told to turn it off and on...
Wheres is the best place to go to get the best settings while i play warzone, im having hard time with getting the headphones to work properly
How come dolby atmos isnt compatible with "Speakers (GameDAC Game)" but its compatible with "Headset Earphone (GameDAC Chat)?" Im using the Arctis Pro GameDAC
apex pro keyboard question. Is the usb pass through a usb3?
Well whats the new beta program?
apex pro keyboard question. Is the usb pass through a usb3?
I have the same question
should say on the website
nvm it doesn’t
@cold marsh you have a pro tkl right? can you answer it
is pass through (the usb port) a usb 3.0
I believe it is
Hello everybody today I'm here to go on a bit of a rant so about 1 to 2 weeks ago i picked up the Arctis 1 wireless at my local JB Hi-Fi [ I live in New Zealand ] and i got i got and my mum throw the receipt in the trash and i didn't know of that until today because 3 hours ago as i was play games they started sound doing weird but at first i didn't think anything of but then it started to sound muffled i tried to use it wired , wireless , the engine , nothing and the thing is that i have had a lot of problems with SteelSeries products i have had a pair of arctis 3 the cable was broken out of the box , i have had a rival 3 broken out of the box , so i don't know if its a SteelSeries thing but I'm starting to think about just switch to a different brand for my gaming needs
Im a brand new customer, i have the arctis pro wireless, where can i find the best settings while i play warzone, im having hard time with getting the headphones to work properly.. and do i touch the eq setttings
I believe it's literally just a passthrough so it should be whatever you plug it into on your computer
@tulip totem the passthrough can be USB 2.0 since USB 3.0 has 5 additional contacts. In the case of my Apex 7 it is just a 2.0 passthrough
Can’t find a decent enough picture but this will do
See the bumped contacts in the back, they’re USB 2.0, the divots in the front are for USB 3.0.
@raven moat @valid dagger the passthrough is most likely 2.0 but look at the physical connector on the keyboard and see if you have those 5 divots
yeah no worries, usb is pretty weird
where is the best place to bug report steelseries engine ?
seems the latest update has broken text macros on the Apex 350 keyboards
❤️
lol
disappointing part is i spent so long uninstalling and installing steelseries engine trying to fix it ... its deleted all my macros now anyway 😆
good idea
i did log in, but when i logged back in it sync'd my blank macro's 😦
so lost it all it seems.
:(
Luckily my macros are just RMB and LMB lol
Im a brand new customer, i have the arctis pro wireless, where can i find the best settings while i play warzone, im having hard time with getting the headphones to work properly.. and do i touch the eq setttings
@verbal delta
Expanding on my earlier post. I need them for warzone but they sound horrible at the moment, is there anywhere i can go to find the best settings for the headset and eq and surround sound?
The way i have it set up it just sounds like kaka to be honest lmao
I like need a reference to go off
I deff tinkered with it and made it sound garbage
I may do that, start fresh from default
I gotta figure out which bar means what
Oh for gods sake.
Thank god I have the 2nd cable ready at home.
This one lasted over an year tho
Gg
how do you break them though :o
I have a micro usb thing and I've had it for over 5 years or something close to that
is this the right channel to talk about an order i placed on friday July 25 and my order was shipped on July 27 and it says it will be delivered on July 28 and I didn't receive nothing and then i checked today and it says Estimated delivery date:Pending. I'm like 40 miles from the city they shipped from.
You should contact #official-support with a ticket about specific orders like that @keen atlas
That's true. You could try calling the shipping company
Hey. I got a steelseries rival 650 wireless in the mail and the left mouse click is louder and more hollow than the right mouse click. Brand new mouse, I'd rather just fix it myself than wait days for support to get back to me. Anything I can do for the mouse myself? Left mouse doesn't work at all
if I were you I'd contact support, you might need to wait for a couple of days but if you open up the mouse you will void your warranty
Every time I reboot and the Steelseries Engine 3 restarts, the "System Monitor" (SystemStatsOHM) reinstalls. Is this normal? Without disabling the app, can I get it to stop reinstalling?
My steelseries stuff stopped working, software is saving a new profile since 3 mintues
The veriosn I'm using is 3.17.9
Okay so it just crashed twice in a row
Any1 know any reason of that?
Oh and it happens only for Rival 3, works just fine with GameDAC
Every time I reboot and the Steelseries Engine 3 restarts, the "System Monitor" (SystemStatsOHM) reinstalls. Is this normal? Without disabling the app, can I get it to stop reinstalling?
@burnt pawn you mean asking for administration privalage? It will always happen because it needs them to check all the stats
ive had my headset for a couple months now and recently the left speaker has gotten quieter than the right one and i cant figure out how to fix it
check if your audio balance is normal
how do i do that
Check the sound engine
Download the SteelSeries Engine 3 software for the best gaming experience on Windows and Mac.
oh i should have probably mentioned that its a arctis 7 if that changes anything
@burnt pawn you mean asking for administration privalage? It will always happen because it needs them to check all the stats
@meager hedge Ya, thats what I mean. So is there a way to stop it, and still use the app (i.e. give it admin privileges instead of asking each time)?
I am not sure, tho I don't think so
i cant find any balencers that look legit
Question
My pro wireless are cracklin
And they sound like kaka
I cant seem to get em right with cod
Sometimes when i switch from wired to wireless mode on my rival 650 wireless it just stops working. just got it about a month ago and the left rgb zone goes black and stops inputting.
@shut loom Did you update the engine to 3.18? It caused some problems with macros so maybe with rival 650 RGB too?
according to a third party website, the steelseries apex 3 will be in stock in late October. Is this common for products to go out of stock for this long?
@ me so i can see responses thxs!
also apex 5 is out of stock... tf is going on?
hi
apparently my mic sounds muffled and 'not right' i have the arctis 7
i was wondering if theres anything i can do to fix it or make it sound better please
i got it yesterday
I suggest doing a recording of yourself, and testing if it's actually on your end. It could be that your set isn't plugged in all the way, or that it's a setting in your sound mixing board
all ive done
Am i allowed to post links here? If so, I can link you a video which shows how it should sound and you can compare it with a voice recording of yourself (a good program for recording your voice is audacity)
is plug the receiver in
and thats it
is anyone able to jump into a voice with me?
@tender rapids please link me lmao xD
i am in a voice, can someone join and test it with me please
@frozen rock like i said, it seems all clear on my end, it sounds good, but to my friends it doesnt
ive recorded on audacity and obs and it sounds super good
but not to them
Hmm, I'd say that's a them problem 😂
But legit, see if they can get a recording of you so you an see how it sounds
@tender rapids DM the link to me and I'll check it out
sent u it
@strong rivet If it sounds good via recordings, it's on them. One thing I suggest is maybe double checking to make sure that your Discord, or whatever voice app you're using to communicate, is set to the correct device.
@feral spruce yeah it’s using the steelseries arctic 7 - CERTIFIED
Hi there, I haven’t bought yet and just new here but have questions about the Arctis 9x: Using the audio share feature via the 3.5mm output does it degrade the audio or volume on the ‘master’ headphones or have any reduction in quality on the ‘remote’ headphones?
Is there one volume control for both headphones or do each, master and remote, have control of their own volume while sharing audio?
@rugged patio the "remote" headphone should be receiving audio from the arctis 9x as if you were to plug the "remote" headphones into a 3.5mm jack on a phone or laptop, and i believe it shouldnt degrade quality on the master headphone, but it may lower the sound slightly as the master headphone has to deliver power to another headphone, but im not sure on that.

@TheSunnyGamer.No5#8351 ok thanks. My thinking behind the questioning is, for example, travelling on flights etc being able to share audio from an iPad to myself and my partner so we can watch a movie together. That kind of thing. So hoping to not lose too much volume or quality. Saying that, the headset may not be great for flights as it doesn’t have noise cancellation and would probably need to be turned up to max volume 🤔
@rugged patio if you are going to audioshare remember its a wireless headphone so it will drain more battery than usual, i have an arctis 5 and i love them, for travel i think the arctis 1 wireless is best.

@TheSunnyGamer.No5#8351 oooh I haven’t even looked at the Arctis 1 yet! I’ll have a look now. Is it the most recent model?
just wanna say new iPad Pros use USB C, so that would depend on the iPad model
Yeah unfortunately the lack of Bluetooth kind of kills it for me. If only that dongle came with the 9x for use on PS4 and Switch 😅
Fair point
Looks like it’ll be the 9x for me
any arctis 7 users?
apparently my mic sounds muffled
had it for less than 24 hours
For some reason, the back/forward surfing side buttons on my sensei has suddenly switched to the other side of the mouse. Anyone know what this is about? Makes no difference if i change in windows or in SSE, its like the profiles get ignored.
I'll give it a try.
Yeah it a recent thing. I just thought i had messed up my profile since I'm a lefty, but nothign else have fixed it.
Bless the functions of half-baked updates and auto-installs.
Hmm. Can't seem to find older engines on the homepage. All they are giving me is 3.18.0.
Ah thanks
I'll try it.
@tulip totem no difference at all
idk if im a noob
what are the drivers
Like which ones
are they
Presume that one?
okay ill try
nope
still the same
So, I have a problem with my mic, arctis 7, sounds muffled apparently to everyone i speak to and if i laugh it cuts out but to me its fine when i listen back - problem is, its shit for communication, anyone able to give suggestions? reinstalled SSE, reinstalled drivers, restarted pc, reset headset
nothing works
u can hear for yourself if u want
Ugh. just done with removing anything steelseries, then reinstalling and backrolling to the previous engine. Nothings changed. As a test i even deactivated all buttons in the profile except mouse 1, and no go, they all function as standard. Its clear windows is ignoring anything sse tells it to do for me. 😦
Sigh, and after another restart steelseries decided to update on its own, even though i made sure to klick off the auto download and update. Back to square one. 😑
Was just playing with friends and then the mic just suddenly stopped detecting any audio and doesnt put it in. dont know what to do.
where do i find the code to register my Arctis 7
Reason: Posted a link
oops ok, sorry!

Can anyone help me with my steel series arctics pro wireless? Ive had for three days and they sound terrible, could someone help me set it up ?
Hey, I have an apex 7 and using the system monitor app crashes my keyboard
wdym by crashes exactly?
The keyboard goes black then restarts with the default configuration
I can see the oled display for a few seconds before it crashes
Maybe look through some settings in the system monitor software to see if you can find what's interfering with SSE
My best guess is there's some setting or something within whatever monitoring software they're using that's causing interference with or just straight up closing SSE
So with the SteelSeries Apex 3, In the softwhere, can you make the whole keyboard white?
Like the RGB 🙂
yes u can
Sweet, and you can make it react to what happens in Minecraft right?
like when you take damage?
this shows u what it can do with minecraft
Thank you! ❤️
Guys
yes
Yall know the rival 600 right
yes
Steelseries has grip replacements correct
yes
yes i believe its better now replacements are here https://steelseries.com/gaming-accessories/rival-600-series-side-panels
i cant be certain since I've never owned the mouse but from i have seen people use gorilla glue to put it back on
i wouldn't recommend that since it might not work very well
Oh yeah cuz it hardens or what
If i have to ill tape the sides lol
Btw they were so kind to give me a code so i can get the sides for free
Arriving in 2 days or so
So I just got my Apex 7 (Red Switch) US and I'm in love - I have one question though, how do I take out the keys out lets say I want to clean the keyboard in a couple months, do i just pull the keys out? Because the Keyboard box didnt come with no tool or anything i remembered my first mechanical keyboard 5 years ago it came with a tool to take them out easy without damaging them by pulling them thanks.
Any way to change my prism and mouse rgb configurations with a hot key on the apex 7 keyboard? I know the rival allows you to set a button to load configurations but that doesn’t constantly work.

Hi there my Arctis 7 on/off led keeps blinking red even after a full charge. As you can see here (https://thestrikes.dev/sc/8r49kz9o.png) it also indicates that the battery is empty in the software. I've tried factory resetting, installing the software again and so on but nothing seems to be working. Would be awesome if someone had a fix.
There we go
^ that yes ty
No probs!
I saw this issue appear in the Arctis 7 setup tutorial too
Is it just a common issue
my steel series is glitch like a few number are other colors ? but i put it on rainbow
and i iff i type its like only line
go to steelseries engine, select all the keys and apply your effect
the line thing is a reactive effect, you can change it to wave, fade or turn it off
Thank you so mush i was thinking its broke
why does my qck need to have this clicked everytime i boot my pc/ get a discord notification?
I have discord intergration on
hence the blue when i get a ping, but then it stays off
so i got my 9x headset and i got the adapter xbox adapter so i could use it on my pc but it keeps not picking up me talking is there a wat ot fix that
Can anyone help me with this
Yo, I just got arctis 5 and the mic aint working. It's second hand and I only got a 3.5mm earphone jack which I'm using with a splitter but windows aint picking up my mic. what do I do?
@vital pelican First, make sure that the mic isn't muted on your headset. The button on the left earcup above the volume knob should be pressed in. If it isn't muted then the problem might be the splitter. To test, try plugging your headset into the microphone jack on your PC without the splitter. You won't get any audio out of the headset this way, but your mic should work. If the mic doesn't work with the headset plugged into the microphone jack then you it could either be a problem somewhere in the settings on your PC or it could be a problem with the actual headset.
already sorted it mate, cheers anyway. I've not got the right cable it turns out
I was just given an aux cable that plugs into the earphone jack on the headset instead of the usb
So now I have to either return the headset as it was and go another week without a headset or buy a cable
Oh, gotcha. If you end up having to buy the cable you might want to try to find one with the chatmix dial, that dial is super nice to have so you don't have to manually adjust the volume in individual games.
the leds wont light up without the mix right?
so i got my 9x headset and i got the adapter xbox adapter so i could use it on my pc but it keeps not picking up me talking is there a wat ot fix that
@vital pelican Yeah, for the LEDs you have to connect with USB. When you buy it new that headset comes with a cable that has some sort of proprietary looking connector on each end one side goes to the headset and the other goes to either a little pigtail that adapts it to a 4 pole 3.5mm audio plug which would mainly be used for consoles or the chatmix dial which plugs into your PC with a standard USB-A plug.
I mean the mix dial, do I need that for leds to work?
@noble bobcat can you help me
Yeah as far as I know there isn't just a USB cable without the mix dial.
so i got my 9x headset and i got the adapter xbox adapter so i could use it on my pc but it keeps not picking up me talking is there a wat ot fix that
@noble bobcat can you help me with my headset
@tender rapids first, make sure the mic isn't muted on the headset. I haven't used that particular one so I don't know where the mute is. Next, what type of adapter do you have? Is it a single 3.5mm female to dual 3.5mm male?
@vital pelican good luck! Once you get it working it is a really nice headset!
I'm using it atm, audio is nice and it's comfy as hell, just no mic atm
@tender rapids Alright, let me see what I can find.
@vital pelican just thought of something. Is the 3.5mm cable you're using 3 pin or 4 pin?
I did
when you look at the plug how many plastic rings do you see?
2 on each side
so I'm gonna have a wild stab in the dark and say 4 pin
Something probably worth noting, the mic is picking up audio output that I'm hearing
@vital pelican That would be 3 pin because the metal is only 3 pieces on each end. If you get a cable just like that with 3 plastic rings I think you can get the mic working. Let me see if I have one laying around so I can test it on mine.
Shoot go ahead
You wouldn't get the leds with that, but it would be a lot cheaper than getting the usb cables.
what so 3 rings = working mic
My Xbox is not at my home
It’s at my grandmas
Blue and white
Ye
I might have to return my headset tho
@vital pelican Yeah those rings separate the connector into different parts. The extra one is for the microphone. I don't have any that have the 3 rings to test it on, but I think it's very likely that it would work. You could pick that up at any local electronics store for just a few $. I would give it a try if I were you.
Aggressively searching my desk
I’ve done that
@tender rapids were you able to get the LED to blink white by holding the power button on your headset for 6 seconds?
Does your PC have bluetooth so you could try connecting that way?
Yes but I don’t have game sound when I use Bluetooth
Oh to fix that you should just have to change your windows output device. Connect with Bluetooth then click the speaker icon in your system tray and select your headset there.
Now my headset won’t turn on and it’s full battery
I think I’m going to return it and get a different one
@rain isle, I think I remember reading that they can be manually added to steelseries engine with a code that came in the box. I'll see if I can find that article.
Oh good to know @tulip totem. Thanks
Idk if im liking these so far only cause my friend has this headset and the directional sound these were great and i just played my first game with them and the directional sound is just not what i thought i still cant really tell where enimies are coming
kinda was expecting more
Can you at least try it to confirm that it works?
oh it must be a 2.5mm. I thought you meant the cable wasn't long enough.
You should be able to find one for less than that @vital pelican . Amazon has a bunch of them for between $5-10 US. I can't imagine they're too much more across the pond.
@tulip totem
@rain isle when you click on the speaker icon in your system tray what is the device name listed?
No LED's w/o the dial mixer thing did you say?
i just have it plugged in to the front panle so its just realtek speakers
and i labled it headphones
@vital pelican yeah
Well I can't find one of them on it's own on amazon
Reason: Posted a link
ok
So thats £40 from SS site
im going to try to see hoe to update them
wait im looking at gamedac
