Okok
hey guys i just got a pc but im still using my arctis 9x. i bought the xbox wireless dongle wich works fine because i can connect my controller. but my headset wont communicate with the dongle. ive also tried resetting the headset via reset button. does anybody have some tipps?
Hi, i have a problem with my steelseries arctis 9 wireless haedphones because when i select the Arctis 9 (chat) in my settings then the sound becomes so quiet that i can barely hear it.
And when i select (game) then there is a delay of sound in games.
Anyone know why theres a faint ringing sound in my arctis pro?
I haven’t had this issue with mine. Usually a faint ringing sound is an indication of a signal interference. So either something is not connected correctly or the headsets signal receiver is faulty.
hmm oky
ill try reconnecting everything
the sad thing is i just returned another headset, the roccat syn pro air, which was a bad headset so returning this one would be pretty shitty… especially to the exact same store
its extremely faint tho
but its definitely there
Does SteelSeries offer replacement rubber pads for their mice? The glue finally gave up on my Rival 600
RMA?
Can i ask something? What is dpi for mouse Rival 105?
yeahh my ring is still there
anyone have any other suggestions
ive changed the usb and everything
So, on my gamedac, the chatmix doesn't seem to work correctly, it detects the game to be "non game audio" as well.
Basically, if I try putting it to only game audio then everything else, including the game itself, gets turned down.
Is there any fix to this or? I feel like it's quite harsh as I bought it partly for that function
I just got the apex 7 and i wanna use the system monitor on the oled display, but it doesnt seem to work because i have a amd cpu and gpu. Any chance I can fix this?
The other thing to take into consideration is any other signal interfering tech in your room. Such as wireless speakers. Also.. another thing which can cause a ringing sound outside of a signal interference, is your volume. Your PC system volume being too high and your headset volume also being too high, which can cause there to be a frequency imbalance, thus making a subtle or noticeable pitched tone from the headset. It’s worth taking this into consideration as well.
Hope this helps c:
also the headset isnt wireless... the only wireless thing is my mouse
I need some help my steelseries arctis 7 is saving forever
and wont let me install additional software
i need help wiith the clipping software
So the Arctis pro’s with DAC or without?
The ringing can happen too wired headphones too. If the Pro’s one pair will have a DAC connected to them to mute/unmute, volume dial and a source transmitter to change where the signal is being sent to if you play from PC to console and vice versa. If it is the Pro’s without the DAC, I would suggest checking your PC system volume and the base headphone volume.
If you have any other pairs of headphones, it’s good plug them in to your main audio port and test if you can hear the same ringing sound with a different pair of headphones, just to make sure it’s not the port that is giving you the problem.
i was thinking of getting either a model o or aerox 3 (both wireless) anyone got any other suggestions or which out of the 2 should i get?
any suggestion how can i fix my headset sound like unmute and mute when i try to unmute
Withou
@slim plank try closing the app and loading again sometimes is the app
Ive done that a few times and reinstalled it
use the task manager and close it and open it
It lets me save for a few seconds but then this shows it wont do it anymore
wdym checking the base headphone volume?
yeah that happen to me idk how can i fix that
the app is weird sometime dont work
Is there a way to downgrade to a version that isnt as buggy
Base volume is if you have the DAC. So you can manually adjust your mix sound, without the DAC, it will be a matter of turning down the volume from your PC system audio settings, as you might have some applications exceeding the maximum volume limit, causing the ringing sound.
idk the update make my headset shit
hmm okay
i have a problem when i unmute the mic sound like im unmute and mute the mic
idk how to fix that
I might try factory reset the headset where is it on the arctis 7
Yeah essentially
Nevermind i found it
You say you hear the sound even when you're not actually playing or listening to anything?
Should i leave the headset on or off when factory reseting
on
Thanks
ues
Yeah still happens
Oki doki. So Either a few things, adjust your master volume and go into your sound settings go all the way down to advanced, there you will see your output and input sources and the volume. There you can choose to dial your master volume down and also app or system volume. The last things are, 100% making sure that your audio cable is inserted 100% and last to use another pair of headphones to check if it's not the audio port that is faulty.
Baring these things in mind and if nothing seems to be working, it could be a faulty cable, but best to not make that assumption until you have gone through those steps c:
These should remain as default, there is no real reason for you to touch these settings.
I suppose with headphones without software, I guess the base boost could be useful, and other things, but you could end up causing some issues with the sound quality and such. So it's best to remain those settings to there default settings.
alright thnaks
turning down the volumes seemed to help :)
i extremely appreciate u
ur so helpful
That's good news. I am glad it has helped you with your problem.
It's not a problem c: You're very welcome.
Hey, so who owns a apex pro?
my aerox 3 wireless has random disconnects when using the 2.4G dongle does anyone know why
i think thats a problem with it from what i've read online
Rival 3 wireless used to that too
Soo i need help. My Rival 650 is being weird. When i click sometimes it double clicks and when i hold click it lets go of click and reclicks like 5 times.
Well ive got it down to what it is. My switch is dying. but the problem is do i try to buy the same switches or send mouse in for repairs.
Well, if you're 100% sure that it's the switch, would be wise to just buy replacement switches.
but I would send mine back for repairs regardless
The problem is i dont know what ones they are. and id like to keep the same
ima see if i still have a warranty and send it back
yo
deleting because it has your s/n
do you guys recommend prismcaps
feet came out a bit different then I expected
Anyone able to get chat mix working with discord using arctis pro wireless?
If I do get it split the audio my mic won't work. If my mic works all audio goes through the chat audio source
plug the dongle into said pc
and turn the mouse off
then do it
Tbh with you. I have never had an issue where the chat mix doesn’t work. I often had my audio set to wireless game, I turn on the chat mix in the steelseries engine, and at my leisure I could decrease the game volume to listen to people more easily as so on.
You will have your headset connect to audio output and from there, assuming you have your chat mix enabled in the engine, you can tweak the volume, and whether you want your headset to decrescendo when people are talking. I can’t talk for the mic setting because I don’t use it. I have an external mic.
But I have never known of split audio being caused by changing your sources. Sounds weird. Keep to the Wireless Game source and tweak your settings in the engine for your chat mix.
You can also go into your chat mix on the DAC as well and change volume that way if you so choose. Also you can create different profiles based on your personal preferences. So it’s more trial and error and tweaking around with it.
Hope this helps!
I need help with my mouse areox 3 wireless so I’m changing my dpi and all that my normal dpi is 800 and my mouse is so bugged it makes my 800 faster then it normally should be then it is and I cannot fix it and im so worried for my game play

Man I’m gonna cry bro
am not being able to update my steelseries software to 8.00
my arctis 3 mic just died out of nowhere
i was just talking to my friend and now its just completely dead
my steelseries gg app wont open, just stays like this forever
Hi there!
I've recently acquired "Arctis Pro + GameDAC" headset and I'm a bit upset, that the device, when connected, automatically sets and locks my Windows volume bar at 100%.
I like to configure my sound only with a mouse hotkey, but because of the locked system volume, this method doesn't work anymore.
I have an assumption that my problem is not unique. Can you please share a solution if it exists?
hey! i would really like to get some help with a simple thing. Today i got SteelSeries artics 5. I have tried to find the surround sound button thing, but i don't find it, and i can't find something on yt or google either.
And for some reason i needed to fix my mic and sound for 1 hour now o discord, when it says that discord and steelseries is certified. But anyways thats i hope fixed now. The only problem is that when someone join/quit, or when someone is about to stream or close the stream the sound is gone for a second, and comes back again. I don't know what it is, so what i need help with is that weird "gone for a second" thing, and the surround sound 😄
Hello everyone. I Have Arctis pro wireless and the casing has snapped where the left arm meets the left ear and now im unable to wear my headphones. Is there any way i could get the casing replaced?
Contact support for an RMA request
Damn.. I had the same issue just recently as well. It seems there is a problem with the left side of the headset. I got my problem sorted out and new headset arrives tomorrow, so it's best getting in touch and issuing an RMA report c:
My headset is picking up a country radio station whenever the sun is up, I think it's a nearby FM transmitter or something. Any suggestions? It's an Arctis 7
I've never heard of that problem before and that's hilarious
Does it do that regardless of what it's plugged into?
It only happens when I'm connected wirelessly
It's hilarious when it happens to someone else *:*c
I'd like to be able to stay wireless though, the game/voice slider doesn't work wired
Oh wait, I misinterpreted what you meant. I've only got the one device to plug the dongle into.
Wasn't happening until I moved to a new house, was fine in my last two places
I have tried contacting official support. They suggested I put alluminum foil around the reciever, had no luck with that.
I've had issues with GG, specifically when changing mouse RGB settings to ColorShift. This has been happening across numerous mice, and only mice. Not sure what's happening.
me chatmix doesn't work at all
and so when I spin the wheel on my Arctis 7 to tweak the game/chat balance nothing happens at all
and that means I can't split my audio
anyone else seen this before?
anyone knows where is it possible to turn off games taking control over the RGB on apex 7 in GG? I can't find it after starting to use this software
e.g dota 2
engine > apps
Does anyone know why CG Moments lags when capturing on 30 fps on New World? Seems to work fine when i switch to 60 fps.
It used to record without any issue in the beta
i tried elevated capture
Go to engine, then go to apps and then scroll down until you find dota 2 and turn it off, and don`t forget to see if dota 2 has an option in game to turn rgb on or off since some games do!
you should probably try reinstalling the software, happened to me before and reinstalling it worked(just run the installer again and go through the process, should open it and then go to settings and make sure open on startup is on since that is what was causing my issues and might be causing yours).
My pc just stopped recognizing the game/chat channels of my Arctis Pro out of nowhere and is only showing a speaker option. I was midstream when it occurred so idk what happened. I can't get my sound split anymore, and some apps aren't getting any sound
mine just did this out of nowhere
did you also try reinstalling all the drivers and GG and everything?
didn't do anything
I got this error in the Engine, and downloaded the update, but still nothing
4th time i reinstalled it. Maybe the startup thing might help
but the problem is you can`t open it, I had to reinstall it to open it, maybe uninstall it in control panel and then try again?
I can open it but then it wont load
hmmm, same, so we have the exact same problem
did you maybe change any settings prior to it not working?
hmm, maybe stop it in taskmanager then try to install it?
^
tried too
end task, uninstall reinstalling
same thing
i tried running as admin too
does it open on startup(eg, keybaord lighting loading etc.)
most likely doesn`t matter what peripheral it is since it is probably software side
yep
now it wont even start after restarting pc
oop
i tried installing steelseries engine 3 from other sites
but then it wont detect my mouse
yea, ok it is def software then
is your steelseries software maybe outdated?
if so just open the installer with the new version without installing the current software and then it should open up probably
Why is steelseries not answering anymore on my ticket?????
It will take a time, since they are a huge company. Or they though you were satisfied and closed the ticket
can i use HyperX Pudding Keycaps on apex pro tkl
Hi! I was wondering what the response time for the red switches in the apex 7 is? Thanks
no my ticket is still open since 27 sep.
huh
been using my 2019 arctis 7s for like 3 years now. felt like my audio has been off for a few months, but after listening to some good music i finally investigated and determined that the SSE has absolutely 0 control over my 7s. i've tried uninstalling with the default tool and reinstalling, i've used revo uninstaller, and i've done the unplug/delete device manager fix using both uninstall tools. nothing works please help me, i just want that sweet sweet sound quality back.
[WINDOWS 10]
again, a list of the problems:
7.1 surround not working
EQ not working
Soundstages not working
Arctis 7 turns off after 5-10 minutes, despite the auto-turnoff being set to NEVER
SSE not controlling Arctis 7 in any way shape or form despite stating that it is connected and despite downloading the DTS software (blue box download)
PLEASE help me figure this out i've been scratching my brain for 2 hours and it's frankly ruined my night
Anyone? :D
don't expect anytime soon answer x D
I have issues in Windows 11
Steelseries arctis pro doesn't give sound in Game mode
can only be set to Chat
and in-game my sound is getting cut off a lot
it just dropped and my PC auto updated to it
💀
My old laptop is too apparently lmao I’m waiting for my new pc to come in tho my old one broke
now i have a feeling need to do a clean install
because everything got broken
even Razer Synapse and ICUE is broken
all settings messed up
Use the media creation room for windows 11
Tool*
They just rolled out the clean install tool
Let’s go :) I’m doing the same right now
Idk if ima install windows 11 or 10 on my new pc yet tho :)
hello, I have the Arctis 5 headset and today its just started to have a static buzz, the buzz only lasts for about 10 seconds and only happens every 2 minutes or so. Anyone know what's wrong?
nvm chat support is helping me
Hey :D anyone know what the response time is on the apex 7 tkl with red switches? Thanks
I tried googling this and I did find that Best Buy sells the 7 with red switches but there wasnt any data on the response time
Yeah I tried googling earlier too couldnt find anything
for $30 more you can get an Apex Pro and actually adjust the actuation. Each key can have a response time of 0.7ms and an adjustable actuation point from 3.6mm down to as low as 0.4mm. For Example: I have my caps locks set to a high actuation so I dont accidently press it while using WASD. I have the full but they make a Apex ProTKL which is cheaper
I’m from Australia lol the apex pro tkl is about 319 and the apex 7 tkl is 209
oh yeah I have a friend in UK and he has the same issue 😦
is burn in a common issue with the apex 7 oled?
Yeah 😅 i know steelseries red switches they partnered with gateron to make them if I’m not mistaken?
I’ve used gateron reds before they were not too bad responsiveness wise
hi i recently bought an arctis 3 and hooked it up to my computer adn my mic is really quiet, i went to settings on both my computer and discord and i found that the mic volumes were already the highest. what do i do
I saw a review that said the gateron reds were good
Yeah one of my old boards had them and they felt nice and I’ve read reviews on the apex 7 saying they feel similar to the gateron ones
im not sure if it is a problem with my computer or if it is not compatible
Make sure the mic is physically within an inch of your mouth. Make sure the output volume in discord is up, also are you hearing your voice faint or are others? Check the mic levels in GG/engine/Arctis 3
If you cant hear yourself adjust the sidetone in GG/Engine/Arctis 3
- its literally touching my lip, 2. My voice is just really quite 3. also what is GG
Steel Series GG is the software that you use to configure your Steel Series devices, upgrade device firmware and install drivers
thanks
np yw
so when i download it
should it let me do more configurations orrrr
i downloaded it
it told me to able GG services and i did
but it didnt let me click on it or smth
did you look in windows taskbar on the right with the ^ where quickbar is? Should be a steelseries gear, doubleclick that, if not try rebooting
I have a problem with my headset it detects that the device is plugged but I don't seem to hear any sounds also the engine software does not detect the device
Nevermind fixed it took me about an hour though
how do i like use my warranty and where is it
How do I make the engine software detect my device or does it no longer detect Arctis 3?
Hey, can I disable the notification from steelseries every time i start my pc, its annoying
does anyone have any good eq settings i can use for the arctis pro wireless?
guys it's connected via 2,4 ghz but says not connected anybody know how to fix it?
I have the Steelseries Arctis pro wireless. Suddenly one day my headset wont connect to the transceiver. I have tried everything from reinstall of steelseries gg to deleting it in devicemanager. I belive this happend after a update. someone have a fix? Happend to others?
is it the same as mine i still have sound in mine tho i just cant configure them
i fixed mine go to options paring and follow instructions
i did that like 30 times now. my gf has the same headset and i can pair both headset to her transceiver so i belive something happend during my update and after that nothing is working.:(
Hey, i just got Apex Pro keyboard already love it but i do wonder something with the "Actuation" settings, what should i have it on, can i make it super low for when i start a game, like it automatically changes it? or what can i do ?
how can i delete arctis 3 from my SSGG software
it is attached to my steelseries account
i couldn't find any instructions on internet
Unplug it, reinstall software
Hello, I have Arctis 3 and I downloaded the software of SteelSeries and I dont see my headphones...
Hello I have a SteelSeries APEX 100 GAMING KEYBOARD am i able to change the lighting without the software perhaps?
Hello, I have Arctis 3 and I downloaded the software of SteelSeries and I dont see my headphones...
anyone ?
Not surprising, they're not supported
Is the headphones plugged into the usb and is it plugged into PC? I dont think these headphones show up if it is just using the 3.5mm plug
Yes this is correct, I think the other plug is for xbox
I have PC
right but you are using a 3.5 mm jack it only passes audio and no digital data
I didnt get USB cable..
so what can I do ?
Adjust the setting via windows
How ?
As melker said, it is not supported in GG
speaker icon on the right I would I guess, or right click volume mixer in windows taskbar
I have 7.1 or not ?
doesnt support 7.1
but I read I have
I have this weird glitch where my Q key is stuck on this mustard green color and it won't change to anything. I googled it and saw that numerous others have the same issue too. Is there a fix for this?
Looking at Best Buy website these are just stereo only
In the instructions it is written that for 7.1 I need to download the software
I don't think that's it because whenever I turn on starlight it changes to all other kinds of colors
@twilit grail
In the instructions it is written that for 7.1 I need to download the software
Tried a factory reset?
Other guy
Not yet, I'll look into it!
The arctis 3 does not support surround per steel series/store/specifications. do you have a arctis 3 bluetooth instead?
look, he has Arctis 3 in the Software
man i have it in software but nothing is working
No, he without bluetooth
I dont see how as it has no way to communicate with GG. Also surround is only through windows sonic
mine is non 2019 edition
headset came with special activation code for steelseries engine
I have 2019 edition
for 2019 edition there is no more software support
but now i can not delete it because it is permenantely attached to my SS account :D
So yeah does not work in GG, You need to configure surround in windows, I would google how to setup windows sonic, or look at the Steelseries FAQ
I am sure you can still run moments, I am just saying you cant connect headset device to GG and configure surround without some sort of connection other then 3.5mm Jack in the front panel of PC
windows sonic help for what ?
on how to setup windows sonic
try this https://youtu.be/fynflbhfuQM I havent configured it so thats all the help I can provide

Download the steel series audio software, it'll check for firmware updates, and tell it not to "sleep" after 10 minutes (or whatever it is by default) for whatever reason, I'll be watching a Youtube video and it'll just go to sleep. I turned it to sleep after 120 minutes, haven't had any issues. If this isn't your issue and it's literally disconnecting from the game dac, again, make sure you have steel series installed and check for firmware updates on it.
THANK
You can use discord on your phone and connect to it via bluetooth. Keep in mind, when using voice through bluetooth, no voice is transmitted to the PC. Only 1 voice output capabilities, and it is overridden by bluetooth
Make sure gamedac USB isnt being shut off by power saving. device manager/ USB properties
That's a good one too
None of those settings should be causing the ringing, have you tried testing it with 7.1 surround sound on? (7.1 sounds better too). And I would change those EQ balance settings to be on the "immersion" preset, then slightly change them according to your preference one at a time.
Does the issue continue when plugging it into your phone and PC? Basically, is the issue persisting across multiple devices/connections. If it is, you know it's something with the headset or wire. If it doesn't follow you, that points to something buggy with the problem device it is connecting to. Hope this helps point you in the right direction
If you have exhausted all possible basic troubleshooting steps and the issue is still persisting, I'd recommend opening a ticket with Steelseries support found in the link of this channel description. https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us
People, i need help. i bought steelseries arctis 1 headset and my mic isnt working proper. my voice isnt recording but background is hearable (tapping desk, walking, in-pc actions like discord notifs). i shall add that the set is brand new and mic isnt working only on pc, i checked if it works on phone, it didnt. the headphones are working properly, but only mic. please for quick response
Brand new? Did you have another headset right before this one? How was that one working
I have the Steel series Pro headset with gamedac, anyone here know how I can make iit work with an Xbox series X and xbox party chat?
Why are footsteps quiet and gun shots so loud on the arctis 7 and how can i fix it
Normally gun shots are way louder than footsteps. But if you'd like to change to overall sound balance I'd recommend checking if that headset is compatible with the steel series audio engine and adjusting the EQ settings there (starting with the immersion preset). If it's not compatible, there are 3rd party EQ editing applications out there you can also use.
Make sure in the xbox audio settings you have headset selected for both input and output. Sometimes xbox won't detect the input method from your Microphone on your headset
Try turning Dynamic Range compression to off or low. And what other sound editing options do you have for your headset in steel series?
Perfect, try these balance settings
My headset doesn't have as may frequency options as yours, but the point is boosting the lower frequencies slightly higher than the others for good overall audio balance with bass. Boosting frequencies between 2000hz to 4000hz are typically footsteps in most video games. So super competitive gamers may select something like this; However I think the overall audio balance sounds terrible. So basically you need to choose, overall audio balance, or competitive advantage
iit was just plugged, no issues
and I can not bind it in game
when I try to bind it to keyboard letter it works but when it is set to button 6 it can not be binded
any fix ?
Okay so the old headset worked great, so the PC's audio drivers shouldn't be the issue (yet still good to check for updates on that from time to time). In which case have you updated the drivers on the headset yet? They typically require that upon first time use as the firmware the headsets are shipped with may sometimes still be bugged, thus the firmware updates on devices.
Button 6, that's an extra button on your mouse correct? Unfortunately, some games will ONLY detect the standard Keyboard and numpad keys. Any extra buttons on a mouse beyond left and right click, along with scroll wheel, will not be detected by certain games. And that is the fault of the game, not the mouse.
button 4 and 5 works fine
in games
and I would like to use it as discord overlay open button
In which case the fix, at least for that game, is to bind your extra buttons to a keyboard key.
That is a curious issue, what game is this
rainbow six siege
Oh nuh uh haha, I used to play that all the time. Does button 6 work on other games?
did not tried yet
playing r6 only for last hours 😄
but I want to bind it as discord overlay open and close button
@inner isle I see the option in xbox setting for output but not input
but discord does not register it
Give it a try, if it also doesn't work on other games but extra buttons 4 & 5 still do then I would open a ticket with the mouse's manufacturer about it
ok thx
But discord does register buttons 4 & 5?
I would also double check that the mouse's firmware is up to date. It could be a bug that's been addressed/fixed in more recent firmware
yes
Interesting. Definitely doublecheck the firmware on it. If it is up to date, open a ticket with the manufacturer, until then it sounds like you can bind button 6 to the "+" key for example and use that as a work around in the mean time.
is there a sidetone on arctis prime?
Unfortunately it does not according to tom's hardware
Has it been changed to headset mode?
i dont know if you have to change it to a headset mode i think it does that automatically
It's been a minute since I've used an xbox, can you take a picture of the audio settings in xbox?
How is your headset connected to the xbox btw
Cause you can use the game dac via USB, optical cable, or wired from headset to the controller
The gamedac is plugged into the usb in the Xbox, and the headset is plugged into the gamedac. That’s how the headset gets power. And then the headset is plugged into the Xbox controller with a headphone jack so I can hear all of the game volume which works just fine. I can hear the game volume and I can hear other people in chat
You said you have the Arctis Pro Wireless headset?
Wired
Ahh gotcha. Does the headset work when only connected to the controller? Cause the controller can provide power to the headsets too
And disconnecting the gamerdac
I was just wondering if the arctis 3s are compatible with any engine softwares, The sound is a little fuzzy and i want to tweak it
You shouldn't be needing to plug it into the controller AND the gamerdac, just one or the other
"
Arctis 3 no longer compatible with Engine and does not come with a SteelSeries Engine registration code. Due to advancements in Windows 10 which provide every Windows user with optional headphone surround sound functionality, we have discontinued Arctis 3 support in SteelSeries Engine."
alright
I just tried, the power from the controller isn’t enough. It has to be plugged into the gamedac to power the headset
Unfortunately you'll need to explore 3rd party audio/EQ programs to edit it
Ill probably just deal with it for the time being
And what about only plugging it into the gamerdac
Then I can’t hear the Xbox sound.
There are some great 3rd party EQ balancing programs out there for free. One of my favorite ones is actually Dolby Atmos on the Microsoft store, it's $14.99 and works really well.
I’m looking at YouTube videos trying to figure this out
the headset should work just plugged into the controller, if you want to use the mic you need to use the 3.5mm adapter that shouldve been in the box
People are saying the problem is that they removed the optical input cable from the Xbox
hello,
i have arctis 7 wireless. how can i change mine output device for league of legends from realtek to arctis 7 game (changing windows settings doesn't work)
Yes, it doesn't need USB and optical cable. And from your picture the xbox wasn't even detecting optical cable input
So I have a 3.5mm adapter plugged from the controller to the headset which makes it so I can hear the Xbox game volume in my headset and I can hear other people in party chat. The only thing that’s not working is my mic
Have you tried setting the device you want to use as the default in windows settings?
what cable do you have connected to the headset?
from the controller
that won't work for mic input
I have an arctis pro wireless, if my dac is set to PC my audio stops working (input and output) and it causes videos and that not to work. is i set it to PS$ it works fine, anyone know what i can do
you need to use the main cable with the 3.5mm adapter
I have an Arctis Pro Wireless as well. Are you using it for your PC or another device when this issue is happening
Because that is an audio only cable, not an input method as well correct? They all look the same to me
shane can you link a store page or picture to what that cable would look like?
that, and the headphone jack on the headset is for output only
If its set to PC it has issues, set to PS4 works fine
Have you downloaded the Steel Series engine? And how is the dac connected to the PC, just using USB correct? No optical cable
note when set top PS$ i am using it only for PC still
the engine updated to GG and it wont load
as default i have arctis 7 game but league is still playing in realtek output
Have you force quitted it in task manager? And or tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling? After this, does the issue still persist
And are there other audio programs/software that may be conflicting
There is nothing open to close, it just doesnt work
I use no other audio software
Can you disable realtek output in control panal - harware and sound - sound?
I am re downloading GG in an attempt to get that working
Hopefully that works, if not it may be conflicting with something in Windows/other hidden audio applications/drivers that may need to be updated
yes i can
and wait a sec
I had an issue last time and it was caused by having the engineer downloaded on my system
After disabling it, reboot the game and/or the PC and try again. Now games can't select realtek as an input/output method.
@outer crypt i think that worked, i can now hear game volume and talk in party chat, but if the headset isnt connected to the gamedac for power, will it just draiin the xbox controller batteries faster?
alright, i will try
it might drain them slightly faster
Worrying about batteries is the reason I eventually got a wired "pro" controller. The Razor Wolverine controller. I've had it for over 2 years now, no issues. And don't have to worry about batteries!
Thank you so much everyone for your help i greatly appreciate it!
No problem, thanks for the patience. Have fun gaming!
uninstalling GG, and resetting solved my issue
Sweet!
well, i still hear weird bass boosted sound that makes me angry and its only in league cuz of realtek
is the arctis 7 still worth it?
sure
Used to be on sale for $99
Hi does anyone have the Arctis 5 headset and experienced like a crackling noise with the audio especially whilst using game chat on the PS4, I’ve tried using usb and aux and both have the issue and nothing I do seems to fix it and google has no answers😭
Im not sure... sadly there aren't really other devices i can try it on.
hey does anyone know why my moments isnt exporting in 60fps?? i have it selected and everything
i'm trying to export in 1080p 60fps high quality and it does all of that except the 60fps
and like when i'm watching it in the program it's in 60fps but when i export it isnt..
hey does anyone notice when volume limiter is off, it sounds like there is this hissing sound
soooo
i spilt soda on my keyboard, thought i cleaned it all off, but i come home and the LEDs are shorted out, some are permanently red some permanently green
how do i fix this, it seems steelseries makes it impossible to access the top of the PCB
how did you clean it
first dry cloth then cloth with rubbing alcohol
only on the surface tho cuz i cant access the pcb
which keyboard
apex 7
yeah, you're not supposed to be able to access the top
you could remove the bottom case, desolder, and then remove the top piece but this would void your warranty
whats the warranty
a guarantee made by a company
no shit
well, your question was vague
god damnit theres no warranty if i dont buy it from steelseries
amazons warranty was like $80 fuck them
you still get a warranty...
Hello i have a question regarding the prime mini wireless. it wont save color to onboard memory 😦 is this normal or is it a bug or?
best regards proz1
Hi I would like to ask something about the "CRITICAL UPDATE" for my Rival 3 Mouse
why is my audio in volume mixer keeps resseting? on both chat n game mode
No need for such language when the question was vague. All SteelSeries products will have a guarantee. 1 year for countries outside of EU and 2 years for countries in EU.
anyone know hwo i can use equalizer apo with a arctis 5
why's like, the glow on the apex 7 tkl ghost nordic just gone on the website? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/808350565033312256/895264312208285746/imgbuy_apex7_tkl_ghost_01_nordic.png

Just a visual error, means nothing
I need this in Portugal
OMG
Hey, i just got Apex Pro keyboard already love it but i do wonder something with the "Actuation" settings, what should i have it on, can i make it super low for when i start a game, like it automatically changes it? or what can i do ?
I think profiles can be attached to apps
yeah u can attach configs / profiles to games or apps
Just received an email with another survey + giveaway, but the link leads to a non existent domain 
Wait, it seems like Qualtrics in its entirety just doesn't exist anymore wtf
might just be down
So I'm getting this message when I start the SteelSeries GG Setup. What should I do?
try running the installer from a different drive or folder
like C:\Downloads or whatever
It seems to have worked. Thanks!
Nvm, turns out my VPN was acting up for some reason
strange
Yeah, half of the sites I was trying to reach just couldn't be found at all. It was weird
@Windscribe fix yo shit
Got a quick question, my dongle for my arcots 7 broke from my cat chewing it so I can connect my headset to my computer with Bluetooth or do I need a dongle
Arctis 7 doesn't have Bluetooth
I have an Apex 7, the full size, and I want to make a macro to paste when I press a single button. I'm so confused by the tutorials I've looked at; can someone put this into plain English?
Make a macro for ctrl v, then assign it to any key u want
that's the thing. I don't know what I'm doing... wrong, but it's not working
Hello - just got your mouse (Sensei 310)
downloaded your software
can't find anywhere to adjust the mouse?
A lot of extra information
But basics nowhere to be seen e.g track speed, button assignment and colour control
Hello there, is SteelSeries GG working with windows 11?
Ah it doesn't come up
Yeah it still works
just tracking speed is way too slow
for 34 inch monitor
keep having to lift up the mouse
ah u mean ur DPI
give google a shot
"device wont show up steelseries GG"
could add mac behind it
sound fades out all the time on my arctis pro wireless if it's too quiet. any way i can fix this?
Thanks for your help
But still not recognising it
It seems to be some sort of privacy thing i think
Ok i changed some stuff on the privacy settings then found a reddit that recommended killing the GG application and now is recognising the mouse!
Cheers obbo
Sorry for being so grumpy - really wanted to use my shinny new mouse straight away
🤙 Have a good night
you too my guy

Hey my arctis 7 don't stop to stop for some seconds and auto restart, he send me sonor alerts (he is green of battery and I restarted the dongle and the headphone), anyone know why please ?
Hi, i plugged in my Rival 600, it didn't light up or work. I installed Critical firmware update, then restarted my pc (it didn't help). I also tried to reset my mice with right, left and dpi button, it didn't work too. Can someone help me my mice working?
How long are the mouse switches suppose to last?
I can't even count that high
I've got a rival 650 and it says it's good for 60 million but the right click is busted 😦
Rma it
Rma?
hi
i have a laptop with integrate steelseries keyboard
i have some specific keys that didn't works as expected
i can't find drivers or software for my keyboard
Hi do arctis 5s get detected in steelseries gg if you plug them through the audio jack?
I think it does but im not sure
Msi?
well when I use the audio jack I can hear my mic and hear whatever I'm listening to but it just doesn't detect it on steelseries gg
Engine won't detect a headset connected via 3.5mm
Only USB headsets work with Engine
ye na well im on laptop and already got 2 devices in the hdmi areas so can't do too much there
thanks tho you solved my issue
You can use a usb hub
??
oh don't got one
ngl they should make it so it detects connections through audio jacks
Except they can't. An analog connection is completely different than a digital USB data connection
damn
I got the pro+game dac. I wanted to test the mic quality vs other headsets I had, and when using voice recorder, or Discord mic check, I CAN NOT HEAR MYSELF. I have done all the trouble shooting on the steelseries support page, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the device/drivers. The mic just sounds like I'm talking into it from 10 feet away.
is it posible to calibrate steelseries prime mini wireless ?
anyone know hwo i can use equalizer apo with a arctis 5
is the Steel Series Engine 3 only for steel series Pcs?
Engine has mac support as well
But you do have to have at least one SteelSeries USB peripheral to use SSE and/or GG
hello
i have a arctis 7 wireless headset for pc
and the transmitter randomly turned off and it wont turn back on
please i need help
hello
hello anyone
please
The Arctis pro + game dac seems to crash nahmic on opening? Is there a fix for this?
make in a apex pro mini
My Arctis 1 wireless wont turn on.
is there anyone have ever change switch on Apex 7 Keyboard? I have dead LED on some keys
i think u got warranty on that stuff
I already create a ticket for this, but since SteelSeries not shipping to Indonesia, they can't offer a replacement.
Reseller tell me that the warranty period expired so they can't offer replacement either
hm then youd new new switches
i mean im sure people have swapped them before, check youtube
yeah I try to search how to replace the switch in some forums. much appreciate for your advice.
Has anyone got a fix for the chatmix channel stopping working?
can someone help?
Just tell your problem and someone will help you.
ok i have an msi laptop and just downloaded the steelseries software and it doesnt show my keyboard
which keyboard are we talking abt, and have u tried the plug out plug in trick?
try a different usb port ^
my apex 3 keyboard rgb is not changing colours does anyone know why
how long do you hold for
i tried that before but it didn't flash
does it just not change or does it say not connected?
Hold power button until u hear beep
colour doesn't change
try to factory reset it
how long do i hold the buttons
its the laptop keyboard
cuz it didn't flash when i tried to do it
ohhhhh
mine didnt either, i just bugged it out somehow and it made me reinstall the firmware
Does the laptop have steelseries right below the keyboard
If it doesnt, it might be mystic light
no but in the pc specs it says it is a steel series keyboard
Odd
hm
What model?
of the pc or of the kb?
laptop
i just tried it and the keyboard didn't do any flashing @crisp skiff
open ur steelseries and see if it makes u reinstall the firmware
gf63 thin
https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042875152-My-device-is-showing-as-Not-Connected-I-need-to-reinstall-Engine- u could try this, this fixed my arctis 5 not changing colours
maybe indeed mystic is controlling it
GF series is usually not ss
i love steelseries but their software is so buggy sometimes
do you know why i can't reset my keyboard cuz it doesn't flash for the 3rd step
i red it from the dragon center
hold it for a bit longer maybe?
Only the GS, GE, and GP have SS
i held for like 20 seconds
GF is mystic
im not sure how long u hold it for
ok
mine didnt flash either
oh
so is there a software for mystic?
does apex 3 have oled
Dragon center
yea? oh
no?
It uses dragon center for the rgb
pretty sure u can reset it through the lcd?
where in the dragon center
well im dumb how do you do it
@median brambleopen ur LCD menu
hold pause button
scroll down to settings, and then factory reset
?
apex 3 has the menu too dont it?
My dad has an msi laptop, but it has a SS keyboard, so i dont know exactly where
i watched in dragon center i cant find anything
some has, some not
it has 2 versions
one with lcd and one without
ima figure out myself,thank you
u got the little screen right?
It looks like a download from msi website
no i think that's apex 5
rip
steelseries has such a buggy program sometimes sadly
the product information guide is really helpful
the setup page is only one page
and all it says is plug in the usb
id say look up on yt how to reset apex 3
well they'd probably direct me to that reset page
possibly but youll have an example to go off on
ok
ty
@crisp skiffoh yay it's working
i uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted
i prob didn't reboot
but the software also didn't tell me to
and i didn't get that cool welcome intro
ok actually im not sure now lol it's just colour shifting
but the settings say it's steady
try a different port?
ok
yea it's fked
it's just going rainbow
and it resets the config when i change them
try to reboot maybe
i just did lol
one day xD
you could try and make a ticket, see if they know a fix
the thing is
if they don’t, u can get a new one shipped i think
it doesn't let me save the config
2 year factory warranty
it's the software engine thing i think not the keyboard
yeah the engine is so buggy
🙄
if it already doesn’t display then it means it’s just being a fat ass turtle
ohhhhh shitttttt
i factory reset mine and it worked
i might be dumb
you got live preview on?
you're supposed to select all the section things
if you wanna change the whole keyboard yeah lmao
see what happens if u select it
yea it works lol
loool
it’s hard to know what ur doing wrong anyway with this software
it took me 2 hours to fix my arctis 5
i was changing the effects without selecting my keyboard like that's kinda dumb
disable and re enable maybe
yea that's just bugged
live preview means you see on the screen right
BRUHHHH 😭
LMAO
lol
Hello, how to I desactivate SIDETONE ?
Hello
Hello!
lol
Is it scam?
I am considering to buy it
can't find it anywhere on the internet
from what i've seen and heard, its coming but not officially out 🤔
i think its real
Oh
really?
someone found a prime mini in a shop like 2 months before that was released
I have search it many time on google and youtube
Still nothing
but you will see issues with engine etc ig?
for what price?
buy what?
apex 3 tkl
who is gonna tell him?☠
i already did
yet
Probably a mistake, sent out early
This is driving me crazy i have sidetone off in the engine, even when it's closed i can hear myself
they arnt gonna make a whole new case and parts for a tkl budget board
1 to 1 fake keyboards aren't terribly common, especially at that price
it's crazy how steelseries products are so good that mf make fake things

Is it fake?
:/
Haha
anyways, someone found an apex 3 tkl in the search bar of steelseries.com
4 days ago, in product ideas
Link please
scroll up a bit in #product-ideas
Yeah
i think steelseries gonna make a reveal soon 👀
Can't wait
of?
Hello! I hope this is the right chat to ask this: could you recommend some good EQ settings for the artics 9? (sorry if my english is bad)
how do i use the spotify thing where you can have a gif / imagine on the keyboard ?
my audio always fades out on the arctis pro wireless if it's too quiet. anyone got any help for this?
on that giveaway thing, i pretty much did everything apart from the instagram, but none apart from one worked, please give me help
Did you connect all your platforms?
The only one that didn’t work for me was to download/install moments but I have the software already so I tried downloading it again as well but it still didn’t register
Is this company really happy with this level of customer service? I'm so mad. I thought I was going in a better direction coming to Steelseries from Corsair. Now I'm not sure. How is it acceptable to leave a customer over a month with a product that didn't work from the start?!
Hey guys why can I not hear my sound I have it on game chat and it just stopped working for some reason and these are brand new artic 7's.
Bruh this is BS
Try normal chat
Just try
Double check specific output settings
^
They are normal
I checked them
Up and down.
I even did like a hour of research before coming here.
Nothing works
Any ideas?
You could try reinstalling the drivers for your headphones
have a similar issue - no chat channel, scroll wheel on my Arctis 7 doesn't do anything at all
Already had a ticket, already tried to reinstall drivers and GG a hundred times
How can i have the brightnes of my apex 5 brighter
Change it with the keyboard shortcut
so the led light can be brighter
Or don't if it's at max
If you can't turn it up with he shortcut
whats the shortcut?
Fn (steelseries key) + F12
than what
So I'm not the only one, I literally have the exact same problem, bought mine a couple days ago, tried absolutely everything and can't get my voice above like 5%
why is my Apex pro tkl being recognized as a speaker
shit is not working at all
@north path
my b
Not even a year man
Best way to fix this?
@ripe stirrup @neon vale That is the exact reason I'm in the RMA process with my Arctis Pro + GameDAC. I purchased September 3rd and still don't have a working headset.
anyone know how i can use equalizer apo with a arctis 5
guys
In gg
Im trying to screen shot and copy and paste stuff to my clipboard
I hold ctrl and v and nothing pops up
got any solutions?
@zenith sigil 1. don't ping mods or staff, #rules . 2. if you ping a mod or staff, don't delete the ping, ghost pings are even more annoying
Sorry
this is the second time you've been warned about tagging mods
Its a support time
forgot
thats why i deleted it
team*
can you atleast help
hello
clipboard on windows is with Windows+V
without gg
gg is trash
Then u cant
why
Because.. thats the software?
So you can't use Equalizer APO by itself?
GG and Engine are the same thing, GG just offers the Moments clipping feature as well, which can be disabled
You can however find an older version of the stand alone engine without auto update enabled if you really just don't want to use GG at all
You could use a third party EQ sure, but if you want to use the one officially supported by SteelSeries then you would need to download the official SteelSeries software
I've tried using a third party EQ called Equalizer APO But it doesnt seem to make any changes
Okay, so either find another EQ or download the software from SteelSeries. Not exactly sure what the issue is here
Is the GG a way to get party chat working with my 7?
Yes. When you download GG and go to Engine it should prompt you to install some additional drivers for the headset which is how to get the Chat output working
Hey! I tought i could also ask here some help.. Im using Arctis pro wireless but my engine wont find those from my PC. (I see this is a common problem)
I have tried most things what i found from google and support forums, latest try i re-installed my windows just in case.
Those headphones still works with my laptop and i can see those also with engine.
So i would really like to get those work with my main PC - Any last ideas what to do? Thanks!
warranty maybe
dif USB port.. factory reset
see what ur mic LEVELS is on inside windows
Tried everything, levels, drivers, software, mic position, even a fresh install of Windows, spent hours on forums and speaking to tech support, it's simply just not working, 2 other people in the last day or two have the exact same problem as me with the exact same hardware, it has to be a hardware /batch problem at this point
Already going through RMA process now, hoping I can get a replacement which actually works because other than the mic it's the best headset I've ever used
what headset?
i think theyll get you a replacement if you go through the steps with staff and they cant fix it either
It's the Arctis Pro with Gamedac, I told them everything I tried in detail and basically got a reply starting the RMA process so I'm guessing they either know about an issue with the headset or have no idea what else to try man_shrugging_tone4
well i hope you fix it man :D
i had sum similar like this with my arctis 5, but mine was easy to fix
I have the Artic pro wireless headset connected to my phone and pc. When I am in voice chat on discord and at the same time I get a call on my phone, before answering the phone my microphone is muted on discord. Is there a way to solve this?
uh maybe dont connect it to both?
Hello. I have steelseries rival 3 mouse for some time and sometimes it feels like even if I move my mouse, it's just kinda stuck, like I am not using it on my mouse pad. I have steelseries mouse pad which is completely black. The next thing is if I scrub mouse pad with my finger nail it leaves white trails... then the mouse works perfectly fine. Going further I checked optical sensor and it's super weak. Like in 1$ mouses you literally cant look at this because it's so strong. In this mouse I see only tiny red light. Is there anything I can do with it?
It is wired version and my firmware version is 0.37.0.0. Can someone confirm that this is the latest version?
Stuck as in physically or the pointer doesn't move?
Also the dim optical light is quite normal in newer mice, it won't affect the functionality
the pointer doesn't move when I move my mouse. Like if I do straight line with my mouse, from left to right, my pointer goes right, stuck for few mm and goes right again. It's super annoying when it comes to playing dynamic fps games
hy guys . i'm a new member of this chanel
[13:21]
can i know the most preset for artic pro + gamedac , i play cod
[13:21]
thx
buying a 300+ headset that connects multiple devices, maybe not connecting is the solution??
fair enough, maybe its in the settings somewhere
ill see if i can find sum
@warped gyrothis is what i found on reddit
"Thanks, I ended up "fixing" it by disabling the hands-free device in my sound options and just using my external mic that can pick my voice up pretty much all over my apartment."
"Not really fixable. The headset has to switch from A2DP to handsfree mode when you turn on mic, that's just how Bluetooth works.
That's why you probably see two Bluetooth devices in sound settings. You could try switching all output to handsfree, not just Discord. But then everything would just sound bad."
thanks for your effort
of course
ok
so i have the steelseries app
'services in gg are only on when you choose to use them'
i did choose to use them
help
My mic completely stopped working on my arctis pro wireless, but only on PC?
works fine on bluetooth
I've reinstalled drivers, ive reinstalled GG, ive made sure all default devices are correct
theres just no input, even when doing live feedback test theres 0 audio
was working fine this morning as well
didnt update anything
Hey.
Need tips for good gaming settings arctis pro wireless. 7.1 on/off, Equalizer settings. 🙂
uhm guys... I just unplugged the receiver of my Aerox 3 from my PC and ripped the housing off
nice site :))
30-40 mins ım waiting :))
Your site is so bad that I've been trying to access a page for 20-30 minutes and I'm thrown into the waiting room. Does this have to be a problem with every draw?
it works for me
maybe try refreshing?
If I refresh, it will be my turn.
?
hm weird
It's strange that a website of a brand that makes such good mice can be this bad.
idk does "de.steelseries.com" work? (it's the german one but can you access it?)
not work
ok then I have no idea sorry
your select giveaways.Hang tight problem
people are saying similar problems on twitter, but the site is still the same slow and error.
I can post it with screenshots. There are people who have the same error as me.
Hey i have bought a steelseries apex keyboard and I would like to know the best way to clean the wrist rest. Was just going to use a lysol wipe but would that eventually wear away the rubber material?
