i told him to try use gg rather than engine to download
with wat
I wouldn't be using credit/debit card emojis as it seems pretty sus. π€·ββοΈ
online scammers be like
not him but like in general
I downloaded it but its the same
@gaunt plaza I did what you said but it's the same
Try reinstalling the drivers for the mouse
what device you usin
like what steelseries gear
The Rival 310
How do you do that?
I could do it on windows but not on mac
Oof
I'll do a bit of digging.
Thank You
But I'm getting ready for work now so I'm going silent until about 6pm GMT
Ok
There's a couple of mic settings that would do that. Check the configuration screen for mic sidetone. Screen should look similar to this
Hi, I bought the arctis7 and everyone complains about the microphone quality on discord. What is the best setting please?
I bought steelseries arctis 1 headphones, I plugged it into the computer but there is no sound
Hello! My SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless headset recently stopped connecting or turning on at all unless plugged into a power source.
Any ideas as to why SONAR resets my output from GameDAC to "select" after each reboot. It did not do this before.
Hi @boreal gust I've also got Arctis 7 (but not the 2019 model), the most important about this headset is how to place the mic in front our your mouth. The microphone has a very narrow reception cone, so place it about 3-4 cm from your mouth, and angle it at "right angle" from the surface of your skin, so it's recording only your voice, and not anything around it.
See this article: https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/articles/229151368-My-microphone-is-too-quiet-how-do-I-position-the-mic-
Oh, and do your buddies a favor to activate "Noise Suppression" in discords voice settings
Hi, I've just updated my SteelSeries GG to 14.0, but cant see the Sonar app. Do I have to opt-in to the beta?
Tried to follow this article: https://steelseries.com/blog/how-get-virtual-surround-sound-arctis-7-636?utm_campaign=newsfeed-jan20&utm_medium=newsfeed&utm_source=gg&utm_content=&utm_term=
Oh, And I've got the Arctis 7 Wireless headset
I just noticed a sound device that was deactivated called "SteelSeries Sonar - Microphone"
I activated it, but still nothing appears in SteelSeries GG.
Have you got any other sound software installed? maybe it's interfering with Sonar.
It seems I have to join Early Access in order to use Sonar. At NO point in the article does it state that, even though I did see the [Early Access] tag in the image.
@hot niche I've tried everything you write, but it still doesn't compare to the Arctis 5, unfortunately. I'll have to buy a mic, but it won't solve the cable reduction. But thanks for your time
Does anybody know how to turn ON that feature of live feedback from you mic to your headphones ?
The only other audio software I have is for my Blue Yeti mic. I'll disable that and give it a shot.
Also look for any settings that assign sound devices in other programs.
Anybody with specifically the Arctis 7+ please message me your FPS presets as I am having lots of trouble finding one that suits Valorant in particular even if your preset is for something like Csgo or siege please send it
hey can i wash my arctis 1 earpads?
hey on my apex 7 my u,m and arrow key are different colours is there any fix to this?
Have you had a look in the engine software?.
Thank you
your keyboard remembers the color, so resetting the software wont fix it. I believe you have to change it in the software before the keys gets another color.
Have a look at the "illumination" tab in the Engine app.
Done that
Done everything
Hi, your question is more likely to get answered if you just ask it right away π that way people can see what you need help with and reply if they can answer it π
What color is it? Clear red? or some mix of a color
Have you tried to change profile on the keyboards OLED screen it?
You hold down the button just below the scroolwheel, and go into Illumination > Presets by clicking the scroll wheel
If nothing works, you'll have to write Steelseries support: #official-support
It's random
Does it have the same color in the software?
hey i just bought a rival 600 and it doesnt work
i tried everything
and i have that critical update that doesnt want to download
please help me
probably some firmeware problem. contact #official-support π
hey my steelseriesgg doesnt work it like this may someone help?
steelseries make your program work
its been happening seince i got it
is there a setting to not hear myself on sonar?
don't do that
i been waiting a whole day
even posted on the subreddit
no one responds
@ ing someone isn't the way to get help though. It's the best way to get banned
This is all I can find for mic settings, did I download the wrong thing? Or am I just blind?
That fixed it, Thank you so much!!
Np
Hi

The Steelseries GG installer stuck
Does your chatmix work?

Can someone help me
I have the artics 7 and when I take a clip the people of the discord doesn't sound in the clio
You know somwthing I can do
Anyone got any good presets for the Arctis 7+ (Excluding Sonar) (Valorant)
I have the apex pro tkl and was wondering if the prism key caps are worth getting? Also black or white if they are worth it.
I've got the white kepcaps on my keyboard and it does look good.
is the arctis 7+ meant to be able to have this changed or not
because I don't really wanna invest a bunch of time figuring out how I can use it if its just a disabled feature
Much as I enjoy my steel series I hate way my box breaks down
hey my steelseriesgg doesnt work it like this may someone help? its been happening since i got it
Hi guys, I bought an Arctis 1 Wired and my mic is not working, what can I do?
check your mic settings on discord etc and check if your mic is selected
i did everything
Have you tried reinstalling it?
Uninstall, reboot, install
okay
Hello
I ordered an apex pro TKL on February 3, 2022, my order was cancelled but the money was not returned to me I would like to have more information about this, thank you.
verification email is not arriving );
Unfortunately, this is a user to user support channel, the staff aren't gonna look at it. Best thing I advise would be raise a ticket on the website
Or speak to your bank.
My Rival 5 is jittering and tracking is unstable I reinstalled the driver second time and plugged it in another USB port and when I did it returned to jitter before it installed proper driver and update to mouse it was a bit stronger I don't know why it is like this anymore.
I hope is the right Place to my request so a few days ago I've bought an Arctis 1 and unfortunately I cannot hear my friends so have you some advice to resolve my problem please ?
i have a bit of questions, i sometimes stream with the Artic 7+ but as soon as i stream when i enter games or when thing are loading the sound cuts of like a stutter. when everything is loaded then i hear game sound good but then when i'm in a DC call with someone and that person is talking then i can't understand the person cuz of sound cuts everytime. everything in the app from steelseries is off. I even tried doing it with a different headset and when i started the same game nothing of the problems above where present. so my question is. Is there anything i might can fix this. or is maybe the headset broken (which i don't think it is but you never know)?
Also when i'm just playing game without streaming then everything is fine how it should be.
most of the time these refunds take 3-5 business days to process so if your order was cancelled on thur/fri then you may not see it come back onto your card until wed/thurs of next week.
Please create a #official-support ticket. As wayfinder mentioned this is only user support (as the title mentions). Payment processing can some time though so Lago is right :)
can I remove apex pro keycaps with hand or should I use a keycap remover
Was just curious what others find as the best audio settings for their Arctis Pro Wireless. Just got mine today, and mines plugged into my GoXlr. Personally discord and game volume sounds a little odd. Not sure if its just because im used to a different, lesser quality, headset or what
Something doesn't sound right with my Arctis Pro Wireless Headset when plugged into my GoXLR. When it is selected as the main audio source for my pc, the audio sounds great. But when I switch it do system volume for it to work with my GoXLR, the audio sounds signicantly worse. It almost sounds nasally.
Hey it's still isn't loading
Sorry, not sure then
Need a bit of help
My R key on the Apex 7 TKL barely functions
It doesn't register
Like out of 20 presses only 2 times it actually typed "R"
there must be a thing on your pc or device where you can check if your keys are broken (idk what it is ) you couldve got a thing stuck into the key or you could check with steelseries staff
ok thanks @tulip totem and sorry @shut sleet for write this here
Anyone else with a rival 600 that cant use that 3rd button in games
I have it set to MB6 but seem to get no input from it
dumb question, but did it connect before? not all arctis 1 wireless models are compatible with xbox
and when you updated you switched the dongle to PC mode, and you switched it back when you were done updating?

Anybody know if they would give me a new headset
This happened after normal gaming with my headset
At first it was cracking but now it has just fully came out
And I canβt even wear the headset anymore
Itβs like this on both sides
But it happened to the right side first
Now the left
Iβve mad a ticket btw
I know theres been a few questions already, but with windows 11 my Arctis 7 sound really awful, like muffled and dull. ive tried all the usual things, reinstall GG, turn on and off sound enhancements, ensuring that its streaming to game channel not chat channel. if it just a windows 11 bug? or am i missing something
Where can i make a ticket
I'm having problems with my artic 5 headset mic, the shit just dont work.
Can an Arctis 7+ have this setting increased or is it a default setting for this headset that can not be changed
because I want to increase it but at the same time I don't want to spend hours trying to figure out the issue if its just a headset locked in sorta issue that would never be able to fix
yo
[7:28 PM]
i just got this head set and i cant for the life of me find a video to setup headset
[7:28 PM]
like there version lokks different from mine
[7:29 PM]
can anyone help
[7:29 PM]
7p
No, that's the highest quality that the wireless receiver can push
Well.. this is a terrible headset then yikes
If you're after the absolute best audio quality then you should go with the wired pros + game dac. You're always going to sacrifice quality when choosing wireless. The Pro Wireless may be able to output higher resolution audio with the beefier receiver in the base station instead of just a normal USB dongle but idk for sure
Is there anyway I can up that quality by plugging in the charger and practically using it as a wired headset or I assume not? I had the Astro a50s before this one and they were so much better idk guess I just made a mistake
hi my steelseries arctis 1 wireless keeps disconnecting and when i go into audio settings its registering as an xbox controller im on pc and it also wont connect to steelseries engine so i cant update it
i tried 2 different usb slots
and i think the drivers are outdated bc i keep getting kernel security failure and i scanned for malware and there was none
if its an xbox model you have to flip the switch on the transmitter to pc mode or whatever its called
where is the switch?
on the transmitter
the dongle?
Hello everyone. Frustrated here. I broke my arctis pro + gamedac wired headset, bought a new one. removed old headset, plugged in new one. Steelseries GG said a firmware update was needed, so i did that. Sound quality is amazing! BUT now the mic is incredibly quiet. Ive gone through the typical motions, uninstall GG, remove drivers from registry, restart computer. Reinstall GG, replug headset/gamedac. Checked windows sound settings, everything has mic input at 100%. GG is at 100% and gain high. Still super quiet. Windows mic test is showing a tiny sliver of a bar when i speak. Friends have me at 200% in discord and still sounds like im whispering.
Ive tried calling myself using the headset and leaving a message. Its almost too quiet to hear. I tried steam chat with same result. I placed a service ticket, but am hoping someone here has some solution π maybe?
Hello, I have some problems with my Artic 9, should I be writing her about it or go to the support webb?
I have an Arctis Pro Wireless and I've got Sonar setup. When using the "sonar mic" people are telling me my mic sounds bad. When i change it to the non sonar device for output they say it sounds better. Any ideas?
i have a question i recently bought msi gf75 thin and i wondered if i could change the keyboard rgb in it some say its from ss engine but i dont how does someone have an idea?
hey guys i have a really annoying problem maybe someone knows a fix.
i have a steelseries arctis pro+gamedac headset, and whenever i switch on my pc it is not recognized. I need to disconnect it and reconnect the headset form the pc then it works. Problem is that i cant keep doing this every single time i switch on my pc, because the connection is getting loose and quite frankly its really annoying.
i had seen someone with the same problem on reddit, but i dont think the fix there is really working for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/comments/bxtrnb/arctis_pro_game_dac_not_recognised_on_boot/
ive tried with sse and no additional software, ive tried with sse and additional software and ive tried with no sse. all with the same results. im kinda giving up but would really like a fix.
thanks to whever reads this

I recently bought an Arctis Pro wired (no DAC) and I can't change any settings in Engine. The headset works fine, recognized, and seems to have the latest firmware. Changing any settings on Engine just does nothing.
Also, I created an account in the app, but when I try to log in via the SteelSeries site, it tells me that my email is not recognized
Hey, i recently bought an arctis 9x and last night it randomly stopped working⦠i try to turn it on after a whole nights charge and it wouldnt turn on. I verified that the charger works and the headset still wont turn on
bought an apex 3 tkl, randomly disconnects and reconnects which freezes my game, no other keyboard has done this
I bought a steelseries apex 3 keyboard and I have such a problem that when I fire up, for example, cs go, the keyboard stops working and I can't do anything, could someone help me?
Hi! I got an Arctis 7P+ headset and I don't want the red mic light to be on when it's muted, is there any way for me to change this?
Yeah, you can change the colour on the engine software if you're not a fan of it.
I don't know if you can turn it off, I'll look into that
Is the apex pro compatible with razer black pbt keycaps?
Where in the software engine? This is all I can find π
@scenic stream Oh sorry!, I'm wrong. Turns out that changing the mute colour is only on pro models π
My bad
So unfortunately, you're stuck with the red light I'm afraid
anyone here have a 650 with flashing red lights?
tried updating the firmware on the mouse but it bricks it after the update and when i reconnect the mouse, it asks for another update
there a work around for this or did my mouse really just demote itself to a regular mouse
I found a fix for this. I changed the input from PC, to High Res using the game dac menu. Computer did a quick install of that driver or firmware, then i switched it back to PC input and now people can hear me. Must've been a bug in the engine.
Hi, I bought Arctis Pro with GameDac and when I plugged in speakers to GameDac (Line out) I have sound from speakers and headset in the same time. Is there any option to fast changing headset to speakers without using Windows options or turning off the speakers? GameDac has option to switching?
can anyone help me? i cant change any option on moments, literally nothing, i cant change the mic configurations, elevated caption, nothing, it just doesn't activate
i have some problem wanna suggest.
ApexPro's OLED can show Any wireless headset or mice battery level, i always forget charge my mice or headset,cuz they dont have notifice sound or UI tell me they're hungry.
solved it, zip file solved the issue
Good day! I have a problem with Aerox 3 wireless ghost edition.. When I used my Dongle, it says USB does not recognized. π¦ I need your help please! my wife will get mad on me. π
Anyone have problem with GG? i cant login with my account, but can login to website. I already reinstall, and recreate my account. I cant create account on the app too (it said that "Our service is having trouble responding, try again in minute or skip for now)
and this too
The R key works now but my left alt key doesnt
I have the opposite problem - I can log into GG but not the website
Can I apply for staff
Do u guys experience problems with GG Sonar when using your mic? Mine is scratching and sounds so bad..
Hi, I have an Arctis Pro Wireless and have the following problem: When I use AUX as the audio source (set via transmitter) I can simultaneously hear PC audio and whatever I have plugged in at line IN. But the other way round (PC as source, Line in plugged in) does not work, I then hear only PC audio, Line in seems muted. Is this by design or is there a way around that? Because if I choose AUX as audio source I the two headset devices (game and chat) get combined into one "Arctis Pro Wireless" with worse overall audio. Any help is appreciated.
hello brother from another mother
Hello, I have a problem with my steel series Arctic 7 headphones and latest versions of SteelSeries GG.
I can't control anything with GG engine anymore. Well I can push all the buttons I want but the software does nothing at all anymore. EQ and live preview and all the other options are just totally dead. No changes to my headset whatever I do or change. Same problems were up in the version before the current version 14.0.0.
Rollback? Is there a safe place to find older versions?

Hi, my headset is stuck like this. I have tried everything that google has to offer.. Is there anyone that knows how to fix this? Is the headset broken?
How long has it been like that?
Couple of hours
Hi guys. I want to ask a question for you? I want to buy Arctis 7+ plus. Does arctis 7+ plus support DTS?
Yes it does. I have it now. But I found that Arctis 7 is very low sound in the head set. Not good at all. A lot of the website I goto barely hear them at all.
I need help regarding the apex 3 keyboard in which I turn on
e.g. cs go and after 20 seconds the keys do not work for me
i can't open the steel series engine for some reason
Wondering if someone could help please. I have the Arctis 7p and would like to both listen to my ps5 in game audio (Destiny 2) as well as chatting to my teammates on Discord.
I realise there is no way to get two lines at ones out of the 7P but just wondering if anyone has accomplishes this before with a mixer of some sort.
Hi! I'm having issues with Arctis 7 wireless mic, the volume is very low. The weird thing is that the mic is low in discord and windows, but in the steelseries GG software I can listen to myself extremely good. I couldn't find any solution in the internet and I was hoping to find a solution here. Thanks!
I'm having problems opening the steel series engine

Is wireless headphones better for sound than wire headphones?
And what's better wired headphones or wireless
i like wireless more
Ok and is it better for sound quality?
Has anyone successfully setup chat mix for PC with the 7x? Works perfectly on Series X, missing that functionality on PC with discord. The article on SteelSeries.com using Sonar has not worked for me.
Hello, I've been having troubles connecting my Arctis 3's to my PC, I use the splitter and connect the according aux to the port, but I still can't hear or talk/say anything into the mic either. anyone know how to fix this?
Hello, the other day I attempted to turn on my 7 and it wouldn't. When I hold the power button it beeps and the light blinks red. I've tried different charging cables and power bricks but I keep getting the same result. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
what is the steelseries button on my apex pro
hi i have a question
Anybody use windows xbox chat with an arctis pro wireless? it picks up my keyboard clicks, anybody find a way to fix that?
im using steel series engine for my MSI laptop's keyboard, and theres a few keys that will be random colors
like right now i have it set to all white and theres some pink keys
I was wondering if someone could dm me to answer some questions about a headset. I currently have arctis 7βs and was going to buy 7 proβs but needed some questions answered. Thanks
That doesnβt make such a big difference in sound quality i believe. Itβs more of a latency question at this point. But that difference is unnoticeable.
Experience with Arctis 9
Ask the question then
Hwllo
my headset is acting up, I got the Arctis Pro Wireless and the Game audio is just not playing
I went to test the audio on it via sound settings, but
it says "Failed to test tone"
like the game side of the audio just doesn't exist?
I've tried restarting the headset, re-plugging the base station, and even replacing the battery
Sup guys, i have steelseries sensei 310 and when im playing rocket league and i move my mouse it drops fps π what should the problem be? thanks alot in advance.
could u try lowering the mouse polling rate? i had the same problem with a corsair mouse, and it helps when i did so
my scrolling is somewhat broken, whenever I scroll up or down it occasionally jumps a bit in the opposite direction
(in this clip I was scrolling down the entire time)
I have a sensei ten mouse
kinda worked thanks, never happened to me before i had 1000 polling rate since i got this mouse, lag started yesterday and i still cant understand why
Is it just mine like that? I aint clicking just touching and it feels like tapping
Huh that's weird. Could be anything, I'll have a look at mine, but I'd say if it's not causing you any problems, then keep an eye on it but don't worry about it
I sent a ticket to SS. Do you have the exact same keyboard?
@rustic valley
I kinda watched some videos like unboxing Apex Pro TKL, i heard something like that on those videos tbh.
No its perfectly working but that sound is kinda annoying.
I've got the pro, full size.
Eh, I probably wouldn't worry about it if it's just the sound.
Yea but if something happens in future, i wont be able to have a replace and thats kinda rip for that amount of a keyboard
You'd still be covered under warranty if it's a year
But at least you raised a ticket to support, at least it's on record so any faults further you've got some recourse imo
Hopefully
So my Aerox 3 wireless (2022) randomly stopped working last night, it just blinks red. GG says there is a critical update, but every time the update finishes my mouse still doesn't work and it prompts me to update again. I just got my RMA back for my first Aerox 3 two weeks ago and its already acting up again, does anyone have any information on this?
The mouse doesn't even work when wired in anymore π¦
guys do you also have a problem with your apex pro that it just randomly starts typing stuff like 3 or x an that as you can see one keybin oesn't work for me you can guess wich one
omg i just foun out that i cant game on this keyboar anymore if my(you know wich button) oesn't work
How's that support related? Lol
It's not, it's just advertising
hey, I need help with my Arctis 7+ Wireless, because its connects with my android and works perfectly except with Discord
Nah I'm good ta
GG is only supported on Windows 8.1 or newer and MacOS 10.12 or newer. Doesn't work on Win7
Could my firewall be blocking a signal from connecting to my Aerox 3 wireless?
how do i fix the echo while talking i hear myself and even here myself typing and stuff
on headset actris 5
Turn off sidetone in the Engine settings for the headset
good evening.
I bought arctis 3 headphones, my microphone is very quiet, I can't do anything in the software (steelseries GG)
could I somehow turn up my microphone?
(I'm using a laptop with one Realtek input)
is there is another software to change it?
Maybe a Windows setting?
my mouse doesnt work wirelessly anymore, it says firmware update failed whenever i update it, any suggestions on how to fix it?
I'm fairly sure you'll need to plug in the mouse with a wire and update it
What mouse do you have?
ive done that bro
rival 650
Try deleting the drivers and/or reinstall software.
hey guys. steel series arctis 9x. having audio issues with xbox series S. Game chat cannot hear me in warzone. discord works, xbox party works. When I turn my stream on things go nuts. HALLPP
hi
Hello. Need help. Can't load video in steelseries moments. Mp4 don't like it format?
yo
if i factory reset my pc will my clips stay on my steelseries account or will it delete
Thank you
Since they stay on account there om the cloud bound to the account rather than your PCβs local storage.
I havenβt tested or used moments that much yet so donβt take my words for granted, this is how it should be though
Since I donβt have a lot of experience in Moments I canβt help sorry. I can check out more when I get home if no-one else helped you. On my way to school atm.
My last idea. But I didn't want to believe it.
I cleaned my Apex 3 and now none of the keys work. The scroll wheel and multimedia buttons do, though. Is my keyboard ruined?
You haven't read the #rules have you @fresh swan? :P
But thanks for the feedback
If you could post it in #moments-report-a-bug that'd be great
Then I'm sure a dev will see it
Will do, thanks
No I missed the rules, sorry but just wanted to make sure someone of stature within Steelseries heard what I had to share
I'll move my message into #moments-report-a-bug
steel series arctis pro wired not showing rgb or showing up in the engine also not probably ment to be here but anyone have a fix for right side splitting and falling off/down a little?

Asking in advance, can the steelseries engine be used in linux
I don't care about keybinds and stuff I just want to be able to change lighting and battery settings etc for my rival mice and my aerox 3 wireless
and I wanna be able to choose my keyboard layout
I am currently on windows but I wanna switch to linux entirely
but I saw the steelseries engine has no native linux support
and I currently only have steelseries products so that means if I switch to linux im fucked because of the steelseries engine not being supported for linux or what
Guess I will dual boot to have windows and linux mint
My steelseries actics pro is reeally low on mic sound i have to have it 1 cm to hear myself normal. I have taken all setting up to max Windows, Steelseries engine...idk what to do
yes max
Have you checked the frequency on the microphone on windows setting?
how long does the Arctis 7's take to charge?
Any chance for linux support ? (Any kind). I love my new Arctis 7plus ... But there is literally not a single line of code for linux:-( . I do gaming natively in OS and via GeforceNow and would love to use game-music knob on my headset .... But the only thing I can do is try to write my own driver for USB HiD
any idea why it shows like this?
I have an Apex 7 TKL with blue switches that I bought less than a year ago and the blue LED in my M5 key stopped working

the 2 button isnt working steelseris apex 7 tkl
What do I change to lower the sound of gun shots
in a game like fortnite for example
it sounds very loud compared to everything else
anyone know?
Not at all, sorry.
Why do they split compatibility like that the x and plus are really hard to tell apart
@safe tree Couldnβt tell ya why theyβre like that. But I just got the arctis 7x for the compatibility. They work on everything, XSX, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Hello I am confused about my aerox 3, i connected the dongle to my MacBook but i shows 2.4g on gg engine but after a moment it said reconnect mouse
can you please help me
hey. i need help. im mainly just wondering wheather steelseries engine works with the steelseries apex 3?
The Steel Series support ticket system is broken, what other contact methods are available to contact this company
The ol' Brick with a note tied to it worked for me.
We'll never have to honor warranties for our defective equipment if we provide only one means of contacting the company and then break that one means lmfaoo
Good stuff
by brick, i meant my 7+. they ruined a perfectly good headset
When they send me a replacement I'll happily chuck this one through their windows
While I understand the frustration, acting rash won't help you, the only way to contact support is their ticket system, they'll get back to you.
No, they won't, because my ticket was never submitted, because their system is broken
Hence this sentence here
In what way is it broken?
When you fill out the form and attempt to send the email, "Your email could not be submitted." is the response. There is an option to retry, but it effectively does nothing.
So give it a day and try again.
Brilliant lad thanks for the solution
the website ticket thing worked just days ago, i was able to get an answer from them.
Instead of kicking off over it, try to be a bit patient and understanding and appreciative that there COULD be an issue on their end, that the support staff can't control or it could well be that you haven't filled the form out correctly (I haven't seen it so I don't know, I'm just making assumptions) but don't start acting rash because of a slight set back. I appreciate you've paid good money for a product and expect it to work, but being foolish does nothing to help anyone, take a step back, give it a day or two then resubmit when cooler heads prevail.
You've got every right to be frustrated, but directing it this way makes people wanna help less. π€·ββοΈ
I'm so annoyed, please help me lol. I have an Artic 5 headset. The light on the chatmix dial is blinking and my headphone's light aren't turning on which means they aren't even connecting.
thanks. - Jack
I sure hope you're not doing this for free lmfao
I'm asking for an alternative method of contact because their advertised one is not working, what is "kicking off over it" about that?
What in the world has you so defensive over a company? The old headset as a brick joke really got your sword and shield up to defend a company you don't work for?
LMFAO
I'm not defending anyone. I'm merely saying don't be rash.
Yeah dude I'm really burning the city down with my rage right now. Luckily good internet guy is here to intermediate before things get tense.
has your chatmix dial ever had a collision anywhere in the past?
-a thread on reddit suggests that it is likely a hardware failure and you will be eligible for a replacement under warranty period.
the support ticket is the only way you're gonna get through to them, and that's that. putting comments of I'm gonna throw it through the window doesn't help your case and speeding up any response to you, and as I said I appreciate the frustration but venting it in such a way is the wrong way going about it. That's all I'm saying, I'm not trying to be rude or antagonistic, so i apologise if that's how it comes across. Have you thought about posting the problem in user support and maybe someone might try to help you fixing it?. I'd be more than willing to but I can't until the weekend as I'm working and right now it's half three in the morning for me so I'm a tad tired.
Waiting and doing nothing is not a solution to a problem. In fact, it is the only thing you can do when you do not have a solution to a problem. Neither your response or Haggelpuff's response was a solution, but at least what Hagglepuff offered was humorous, while you smugly offering the only option left is just annoying. I see that you're not righteously going after Hagglepuff for their frustration in calling their headset a brick and saying SteelSeries ruined a perfectly good headset, so I can only assume that you take issue with my joke because you are weirdly defensive of the fact that I have a valid gripe here to which SteelSeries is offering no solution, and you're upset that I'm (correctly) pointing out the absurdity of SteelSeries's inability to uphold their legally binding warranties.
I can't know that for a fact, I'm just assuming based of the super stank vibes you give off white knighting for a fluffy company. edit: Kidz Bop language edition
Oh I totally agree that waiting and doing nothing isn't a solution, but if you reread, what I actually suggested was give it a day or two then try again. That's not doing nothing is it?. My response was purely general, you do have a valid gripe and I have no problems against that (why would i?). You have every right to be angry and annoyed at the problem you're experiencing with whatever product you have, and I totally agree that a company should have more than one line of communication, but for whatever reason it just is, it's not their inability to uphold legally binding warranties or consumer contracts, it's a temporary set back for whatever reason, on their end or yours, that's all. Try again later and see how it goes, I offered to assist but it's not worth either of our times because we've both gotten off the wrong foot and I can see any further messages being aggravating for both sides, so let's agree to disagree and move on. I do hope you get it fixed or sorted.
Currently, when using Sonar only it appears that if I enter a Discord call all of my audio (chat + game) cuts out for everything (discord, and windows sounds etc)
Does anyone have any advice? I have the setting for when in a call to do nothing instead of reducing volume, so it's not that...
Also, it works FINE when I disable the sonar channels.
Hopefully someone may know what's going on here?
you have gg active at all times, right?
You mean like running in the background?
Yes, I do.
I really want to get it working, the 7.1 emulation and bass/EQ with Sonar is so many miles past what GG used to offer, and it sounds godly. Like better than my Studio Monitors. I really wanna keep them working with Discord.
Okay, I'll try that now. Stick around for like 2 seconds for an update.
sure, just ping me
Bet, thanks! Shouldn't be but a second...
@broken quest Still having the same issue.
okay, i'll look further into it in a minute.
Thanks bro!
@echo quarry can you provide me with a short screen recording?
Sure. of what?
of when joining a voice channel with sonar
Okay
just show the input-output before and after joining
sure, that would work too
why did my capture disable itself and I cant enable it again to get clips?
Thanks to @broken quest I found the issue and wanted to document it. I had to uninstall the device driver through device manager entirely, then unplug + replug my headset into a USB port. It also appeared that having it plugged into a 1-to-many USB expansion box also may be part of the issue.
I have an Apex 7 TKL with blue switches that I bought less than a year ago and the blue LED in my M5 key stopped working, what should I do
If it was bought less than a year ago then the easiest thing to do is create a support ticket on the website and request an RMA
Thank you
@visual hawk dont know if the same would work for you since yours a wireless one, but worthy of a try
@broken quest Mine actually IS wireless
ok then that should work if they use one of the extensions
If you want you can tell signal to ignore it in app
I cant login to GG on my computer, even with older version. It cant be updated too
I have the Arctis 7, im using early access Sonar. This software keeps making everything the default. I have to switch my audio EVERYTIME i start up my pc. anyone?
It just overrules any changes made too
got Artic 9s and they were working now and it just continues to fail pairing idea why?
when i download the software and go to engine why does this show up
nvm now it decided to work
It doesnt have Sonar too
hey i have a problem with my keyboard shortcut could you help me
does steel series artics 3 support engine app?
No. Unfortunately not as it's only a 3.5mm connection.
Uh, idk on that tbh pal, have you had a look at your windows settings?.
already tried all i can
anyone know why when i connect my arctis 7 to the pc with wire the microphone does not work (in the steelseries software it is not showing that it is connected)
Hello the volume of my mic is very low (Arctis 5 Wireless) on Discord when i go to voice channel. Any idea please ?
Just boughta steel series wireless rival3 and i play a lot of minecraft and when i move my mouse around it is laggy and stops sometime. Why does this happen? and how do i fix it?
how to i mass delete clips/moments
spent 20 mins trying to figure out why my windows key won't work
im also having a little trouble with the rival 3 wireless, after i renewed the batteries it takes really long to connect to the dongle every time i gotta reconnect it, but once connected everything works fine
i have artic pro wired and i broke my cabel where can i buy another?
Which cable was it?
@tender rapids You may have to buy direct from steelseries, I'll do some digging when I'm home and I'll let you know.
thank you
You'll have to buy the chatmix dial by the looks of it as it looks to be one unit.
Lemme do some more digging.
Yea, i think so
Anyone know how to get the arctic 3 working? I can't seem to get the sonar working. if i select it i have no sound and the microphone doesn't work.
Hey guys, my friend just bought a Steelsries Rival 3 wired. His mouse is picking up movement when he lifts the mouse and moves it in the air. Mine however does not do this, is this a broken device? Ive tried googling but no luck there.
Like damaged? It's just unboxed
How do I turn on imagesync i clicked save but it didnt display on my keyboard
hello, my left mouse button sometimes doesn't work. I use steelseries rival 650. can someone help me
my arctis wireless pro wont connect to my engine software
Question anyone know how to hear your own voice on the sonar
microphone settings?
I bought an artics prime headset and then had the after sales service work on the first one because of the microphone that almost doesn't work while ALL parameters are at maximum but after receiving the second one the problem persists. What is the cause and how to fix this problem?
im having a little trouble with the rival 3 wireless, after i renewed the batteries it takes really long to connect to the dongle every time i gotta reconnect it, but once connected everything works fine
Does the ARCTIS PRO Peerless High Resolution PC Gaming Headset have a normal USB cable?
Or is this a USB-C cable?
i have a steel series headset and wanted to use sonar so i d/l the software and everything but sonar is on there Y?
Hey, I got an artics pro wireless headset recently and the mic wont work if I use it with Bluetooth
Hey question! it may be dumb but just trying to figure it out. Recently me and my friends got into rainbow so I had to dust off the ol PS4. The only headset I have is my steelseries Arctis Pro. I have it connected via USB I can hear everything great but I've realized it picks up ALL Audio. They can hear any kind of background noise from me picking up a glass or eating chips or joystick moving. Is there something I may have set up wrong? O should i look to get a mic setup for the playstation?
There might be an option for sidetone (live mic monitoring) in the playstaion audio settings, but your best bet is plug the headset into a PC and disable sidetone via Engine and then go back to using it on the PS4. You can also make any adjustments you want to the EQ that'll save directly on the headset
Does anybody know why my Spacebar keeps getting stuck on the left?
Iβve cleaned the keyboard
My bad I definitely meant to say my friends can hear everything. I have noise suppression turned to the max on the engine.
help meh
Hi Guys, i find all day and could not find this setting on the software name "steelseries GG", the old software "steelseries engine 3" have it? Can you guys help me, tell me where is it? i want to find the setting "mouse override", thank you
Did you have it before?
The city and the address is the same.
Did you deep clean it?
yeah
Then the problem should not still be there
Itβs hard to tell without looking at the keyboard
Double check billing address. Otherwise, contact discord since this is a problem with their service.
The settings in gg, not the engine⦠https://steelseries.com/gg
Also, #discord-nitro-support
where can i find that setting sir?
I'm gonna be on pc in a bit, just need to get myself awake for the day and I'll ping you when I find out. :)
thank you sir, have i nice day
I have a huge issue that I have done so much to try and resolve
My microphone isn't picking up my voice at all. It's only picking up my PC audio entirely, muted or not, music will play and everything and I have not been able to fix it. I have uninstalled drivers and restarted my computer a few times, made sure it was updated with no fix. I have no idea what's going on.
I even plugged it into my controller for my PlayStation and the microphone works fine, so it's something with my computer rather than the headset
@clear flume well check ur pc's mic settings π
I have with no luck, I've learned that it may be a broken audio jack which I have no clue what may have caused it
i do not at the moment
it still can be the settings
well u better try that first before deciding to do anything on ur hardware xD
Have you downloaded gg?
i actually thought the same as u skogis π
did my link got removed ?
oh its in moments general xD
@clear flume what headset u have tho ?
hi do i need a invite to Steelseries GG, Sonar Early Access??
I use Moments and it uses 5-7% GPU, but sometimes it spikes to 100% GPU usage for like half a second and sometimes my game crashes because of that. Is there a reason for it to spike to 100% GPU usage?
Yes sir , ofcourse, i used "engine 3" before the GG release about 3 years more.
I want to find the setting called "override mouse on startup" like this ( this is the picture cap on old app Steelseries engine 3, not the new GG app https://steelseries.com/engine )
I want to find this setting on the new app Steelseries GG sir
Download the SteelSeries Engine 3 software for the best gaming experience on Windows and Mac.

Aha, Sorry.
Iβll check later when I get on my pc!
Ok, thank you so much sir
hey there, i have got the arctis 7+ since yesterday. Is it normal, that there is a constant static noise in the headset? greetings from germany
Why don't the mic work
I can't see anything on mouse override in GG. Looks like it may have gone for some reason?
i dont know why it have gone in GG (but not the engine3.exe), i think that setting is quite useful to me xD, at first, i thought that was a bug
Could have been anything I suppose! Sorry mate looks to have been removed.
I know this a few days late, but my apex pro also has that tapping noise when you gently move my finger over the button, I've had mine a while so I don't think it's anything to worry about there mate.
okay, thank you sir, have a nice day
And you fella!

Does anyone know why my chat sonar doesn't work?

Try deactivating Sonar and then uninstalling the Sonar Virtual Audio Devices from the advanced audio settings menu then restart your PC and try setting it up again @copper sinew
alright ill lyk once i try that
@midnight gyro maybe u know
Hey

Hey i have a little problem with the steelseries software. I have a Norwegian apex pro but the Norwegian letters and symbols on my keyboard isn't showing up in the software. Yes i have changed the language on my pc and all that but it doesn't help. Please let me know if you have any tips : )
@boreal lynx

You should also read the rules and not tag mods or staff

the screws are behind the ear covers
i pushed the reset button

i took off the cushion and pushed it and nothing happend whats what all guides and videos said to do
hmm it worked when i was using the arctis 7

i was using them then randomly they just make the turning off sound
and its stuck like wtf
i used this video from yt for help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpwuySRgRII
One of the most popular questions we get asked is how you factory reset the Arctis 7. So thought we might share it with you as well.
Buy the Steelseries Arctis 7 here:
https://www.maxgaming.se/sv/tradlosa-headset/arctis-7-wireless-headset-svart-2019-edition
sorry but my videos are not appearing in my computer or in the engine
somebody can help?
question I notice when using sonar that it prevents my computer from sleeping. I have to turn Sonar off to get my computer to sleep. Is this normal?
my pc isn't picking up my arctis 1 mic, help?
Woop woop

if someone can help please @ me
Did u try to deactivate the sonar so u can be sure its that

Welp i dont have the answer how to fix it
But its early acces soo
Things may occur
ya i just disabled if for now
anyone? i lost all my keyboard, headphone, mouse configs
Why i am stuck in
Exec: "C:\Program Files\SteelSeries\GG\driver\win_driver_installer" -installPath="C:\Program Files\SteelSeries\GG" -u -new -progressStart=45 -progressEnd=55
When i try to download steelseries gg app
Why does my pc automatically select sonar as deafult and communications device?
I don't want to use sonar
okay I got it
I can't login into the software
Update: They... gave me a brand new shiny mouse
Easy brand new mouse 
I bought the mouse 2nd hand, now I warrantied it because of the bluetooth issues, now they gave me a brand new one with 0.2 firmware
I uh, I wouldn't be shouting about that lol
asking here since im having trouble finding stuff online. my GG will not detect my arctis 3. is this because its a 3 or am i doing something wrong here?
Hello, I am having really hard time finding the right EQ settings for Arctis 7+. Iβve been using Cloud 2 with no EQ settings and sounds in CSGO have been perfect. Struggling with too much bass, weapons too loud and steps way to low. Anyone else taken the step from cloud2 to arctis7+?
arctis 3 is not supported, the 3.5mm version is the one you have right?
yup, not the bluetooth one
the sound on it sounds rather off compared to my old siberia 350
so im trying to fix it but its proving to be a bit of a struggle
i had the arctis 3 a week ago before it started giving me trouble
if you still want to eq it, enable sonar in gg
also, they suggest setting this to windows sonic
ye i tried that but it didnt make any difference
ohh
did u check if mono audio is off?
restart did improve the quality a lot, but its still a bit hollow sounding
it should be off by default but incase
and game detection?
1
clips
afaik it was on, but i only messed aroudn in windows settings
do you have any eq software pre-installed by you pc manufacturer?
is it the autoclip function thats not working or are you using the shortcut in game and theres nothing?
is still not working
turning it on made it sound a bit better
it should be the opposite tho
which is why it confused me
it feels like the sound is just a bit hollow and canny (if canny is the proper translation) compared to my siberia
no pre installed eq software that im aware of
maybe that is how they sound, siberia is physically different too
i cant make out anything else
when you load one of the games detected does it pop up on the system tray that its recording?
ye that might be it, gonna mess around with it some more and see if i can get it improved. otherwise i might have to look into another headset
thanks for the help π
it says that is capturing the game
no probs
try using the shortcut that has been allocated
the arctis 5 black are cheaper than the arctis 3 for some reason, maybe its just in my country but you can check it out
sadly thats not the case over here. 3 was the cheapest one, same price as the siberia was when i got it ~3 years ago
So you're pressing the key that should save it and nothing is happening?
what is mornings
I meant nothing.
ohhh well, you can also try and create a support ticket on the website and, maybe they will respond with "thats how the product is supposed to wrok" or provide a replacement
jup, p much what im waiting on before i try to send it back to the vendor
still got a good 20 days before i gotta request a refund there
hmm they provided me with a refund on the 3 when i had similar issues
Well, it is the weekend, so that's likely why, that and they're extremely busy I imagine. So give them a bit of time, they'll get back to you.
didnt get the headphones from steelseries themselves so support might be abit different
it was the same for me actually, they provided me with proof ticket so if the seller denied to give me a refund i could show it to them
oh thats nice, ye steelseries customer support has been amazing in the past aswell
from my experience they're pretty spot on tbh
It's nice to hear there's happy users as well
I obviously know there's plenty of people with good experiences it's just people rarely come in here to say something nice
Like yui here
It's a good thing there's a timeout function :)
thats too bad
It's fine :)
about it rarely being said in here
People are strange, they only tend to review when the experience has been poor, which is kinda sad because when it's been great they just don't acknowledge it πͺ
It's a shame
the brain tends to respond more to negativity
I've just purchased the Arctis Pro Wireless but the LED on the microphone doesn't seem to work when I have muted it, has anyone had this issue before? Or am I stupid and I am doing something wrong lol
Have you checked engine to see whether you've done something to the settings?
Yeah, I downloaded it after I realised it wasn't working to see if I needed to do something, but it says the brightness is at the max
hey!, i don't know if this is a problem but every time i turn on my pc my apex pro tkl has the actuation on 5 but in the steelseries software i have it on 1 (the problem isn't that in my apex pro tkl shows 5 and in the software 1 at the same time)
My 6 button for my steel series rival 600 doesn't work, why doesn't it?
its really been bothering me as i want to use for gaming
but i can't assign it to button 6
might be worth a clean reinstall of GG, see if that helps.
ok thx
When I'm using the Arctis 5 without the Steelseries Engine I don't have issue with it however when I use it, the audio gets delayed for around 500ms or more sometimes. I have this issue for most games and for watching content on the Internet in general.
Thanks for helping !
Are you using sonar?
uh what is it ?
It's an early access feature on GG
No I'm not using it
Would it fix my issue if I were using it or would it be the source of my issue ?
Sometimes it can be problematic but if you haven't got it, Idk.
Uh
No what I'm saying is, it could be the source of the problems.
But because you're not using, might be worth a dig around in settings of windows and discord.
Or try other usb ports
Alright I'll try these, thank you !
does anyone know what the issue is with arctis 7p's if sound comes out of them w/ an aux cord but w/ bluetooth no sound comes out?
what about the CS:GO Ice Locker clip competition did it end already?
Hey! Is anyone of you on Linux? And if there is anyone: Is there a way to use GG on Linux? I cant get it installed with wine
I want to migrate completely from windows but stellseries is kinda keeping me there since I cant control my peripherals otherwise
Unfortunately, there's no native version of GG for linux. There may be some workarounds out there online, but as far as I know it's a no-go on Linux. The only workaround I know of atm would be having a Windows partition on your hard drive that you boot into whenever you need to make changes to a device. Not the best solution, but it is what it is. If you don't make changes to the hardware that often and are mainly concerned with changing RGB settings, there are a bunch of Linux friendly RGB softwares out there that work with pretty much every major hardware brand, including SteelSeries. OpenRGB is one I know works on Linux. SignalRGB is another good one that I'm pretty sure works with Linux too
Alright I will try OpenRGB. Currently I have the Windows-dual-boot thing but its really annoying. But still thanks a lot
I used gg and i deleted a clip by accident is there a way i can recover that clip or is it gone forever if so you need to work on a way to restore accidently deleted clips
not sure what you mean, it's totally compatible with the controller. you can't plug it in over USB but the headset comes with a 3.5mm cable to use it on the controller.
hi I downloaded the Surround sound and I use windows 11 and it doesn't show up
Hi i need help how berify?
hey, I have a question, do you know how to turn off the LEDs while the mouse is moving [Areox 3]
that is called "smart illumination" and the setting should be somewhere in Engine
when moving, it turns off anyway
-i'd make sure you're hitting "save" once you make the change so it actually saves
-if you have the wireless version i think these changes only apply to 2.4ghz mode and not BT mode
hi question, every time I enable 'Sonar' for my artics 7 I get no sound anymore. How do I fix this? I never had any issues with Sonar before but I just started my laptop and had no sound anymore, I switched From Sonar Sound to Headset and I got my sound back so the problem lays with Sonar.
whatβs the USB port for the apex 7 ever for?
It's usb passthrough, so you can plug anything usb in there
hello i was recently choosen 1 of the steelseries clips competition winner and i was wonder where would you contact me ?
Hello, I don't know if this was already asked and answered, but I just bought the Arctis 7+ and when I'm on a zoom call, I keep getting my settings reset and my mic does not work and I don't get any sound on the headsets, but the sonar app shows that the sound is "getting out". And this only happens with Zoom, do you guys know any issue?
Tbh, I'd probably avoid sonar and just use it without for time being.
even without sonar active, the issue still happens
Thank you! Because it could be just something on my pc that would be causing the problem.
Possibly. Have you tried a different USB port and settings on windows?
So, just some more information. When the Sonar is active, the zoom settings are reseted, I can listen the other users, but they can only ear me after some time, but when Sonar is disabled, the mic and the sound is faster, but it still misses for like 5 seconds
ya, I putted the pen in a different USB port, before I had it in a hub, and now its directly to the motherboard
and after changing it, it didnt happend the issues, so could be something in that "area"
I just bought Aerox 3 wireless. it is also my first steel series product. So it will not detect the mouse. What should I do or can anyone help me?
hello all, can anyone help me out here? I just got my Arctic 9 wireless headset and even though its set up as told in the manual, no there is no sound /audio input. the headset keeps blinking green while the device keeps blinking white... everything is put on PC mode :/
hey guys
I have a problem with my Arctis Pro Wireless Headset! So whenever I connect the station to my computer, I can't turn the mute button off. I tried everything to fix that but nothing is working
If you need any pictures or other things to help me please let me know
My light keeps blinking green even though I put a pin thru the headset hole
just bought the arctis 5 headset today. testing my mic and i can hear my voice fine, but its so sensitive to mouth noises like, my friends can hear be breathe etc. ive toggled loads of settings and its not made it any better. any solutions?
hi i just ordered the apex pro tkl the other day i just got an email from support@steelseries.zendesk.com saying that i need to send them the 5 digit code on my billing statement to verify my order i was wondering if this is legit it also says that if i dont reply it will cancel my order within 2 days
Position the mic below your mouth, pretty much in line with your chin. It'll still pick up your voice fine just without all the breathing and lip smacking stuff
Has anyone had problems with sonar playing audio much quieter than normal
ill try that now, thanks so much for your response
Just double checked with staff and yes it's a legit email so you can go ahead and reply with the requested info
okay thanks
Does anyone else here experience absurdly high CPU usage from Steelseries Engine?
I'm new, just got the 7+, how in the heck do I disable hearing myself in my headset?
nm i think i found it
basically just have to mute yourself, since the audio will always play back
or completely turn off mic sidetone
hey i need a little help
have steelseries arctis 3 bluetooth, but when i connect to discord, the sound quality (from everything else) becomes really bad and muffled
any fix? thanks
Having an issue with exporting moments that contain GIF's. Anyone got a solution to this problem?
i have an apex 5, and the rgb just turns off once in a while, and won't turn back on, the keyboard can still input fine just no rgb not even for caps lock and num lock, i tried factory reset didn't work, don't know what to do rn
Did u try reinstall
It stays muted even after pressing the mute button?
Have you checked the settings on the Steelseries GG?
Yup nothing is working
I'm also stuck with a useless controller
so um my arctis pro wireless receiver button is broken, when i press the button it show the next page with the audio settings and such but only for a split second before reverting to the main page no matter how many times i press the button
Hi ,is it normal for the arctis 7+ to make a buzzing noise when i turn up the volume to the maxed ?
my arctis wireless pro wont connect to my engine software
Hey guys! Couldn't find this online, so asking here I guess.
Just got the Arctis Pro (wired) with the Chatmix Dial thingy, and I was wondering about its little LED light. I was using the Siberia Elite and its soundcard would go from white to dark blue when the Surround 7.1 was active. Does the ChatMix Dial do the same when it's also active (or the DTS:X)? Right now it's always just light blue/white colour. Does it stay always like this?
EDIT: And yes, I did indeed turn it on on the SS Engine. Asking because I remember hearing a major difference between turning 7.1 on and off on the Elite, but now turning it on/off on the Arctis Pro doesn't seem to change anything from any audio source I play stuff from
Did you find a resolution for this?
I've tried unistalling / reinstalling software then plugging the device back in
Uninstalling audio drivers / reinstalling
I've searched online and can see there are a LOT of other people been experiencing similar issues since 2020, has this never been resolved?
Message I get when I plug the base unit in is in provided screenshot https://i.imgur.com/EODQugP.png
I also tried on my laptop before someone tries saying it may be a faulty USB slot, I also tried on the 5 other USB slots on my PC.
I've never had any issues like this before with Corsair virtioso, Logitech, Sennheiser but this one is really quite frustrating
Also do staff actually respond here?
then where
support just tell you to turn off and turn back on again on site
this error means there's a hardware failure, not a software issue
I assumed as much especially with trying on laptop and PC but support are so slow at responding
hardware failure on what????Γ
no i reinstalled drivers 5 times , plugged it into my laptop , mac and my xbox all didnt work , new software install , repaired the headset , reset the base but it didnt work but the base was fine and saying connected. also tried my other headphones with their software and they worked
and i tried on my cousins pc

hi, I go the arctic wireless pro and my transmitter is keeping on disconnecting and reconnecting happened to any one?
If you want official help you need to create an email ticket through the support website or following the links in #official-support. Like the description of the channel says, this is only for users to help one another with general troubleshooting steps to try and solve issues
Best thing to do if the auto-download doesn't work is to grab the newest install file from the website and install it manually. All of your device settings should transfer over automatically
I tried but its an firmware update
Is there a way to fix firmware not downloading
Hi, I have a steel series 7, but it keeps disconnecting every couple of minutes. I have tried the following:
reconnecting the headset with the dongle
many different USB port directly attached to my motherboard
reinstalling windows
setting power settings so USB does not sleep
distance between headset and the dongle is about 30 cm
I use windows 11
it used to work well until about last friday
does anybody know what I might be able to do?
Hi, I have a Artics 3 Bluetooth headset but one of my cable is damaged, I'd like to buy a new cable to prevent the moment it won't work anymore and I'd like to be sure to buy the right one

Is there a way to make Steelseries GG revert back to "Default" if I quit out of the game
Whenever I launch a game with a custom config, it opens fine, but if I close the said game, it's stuck there
(For example, The Sims 4, I have the side buttons mapped and when I close the game, it's still stuck on The SIms 4 config)
For what I know, if certain profile on a mouse/headset/etc. is set to launch with X game, then it should revert back to the default profile after the game closes
doesn't for me
Is there a reason as to why the engine never loads when I try to boot it up on my Mac?
Mac sucks, get Windows Have you tried enabling it to run on Log on
right click on Steelseries GG -> Run on Logon or smth (I forgot, haven't booted up my mac in a while)
Also try to add it under system preferences
System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Login items -> Plus -> Find Steelseries GG in "Applications"
moders, thy this guy isn't in permanent ban, this link is scam with lots of viruses :/
p.s. i have "better discord" with plugin that shows deleted and edited messages
What do I get if I boost the server
I mean you can also get banned for using BD 
(Discord ban, not server ban)
why, lol?
against Discord's TOS about modified clients
ok, i'll read it
so... yeah, I don't recommend broadcasting and telling everyone that you're using a modified client
i just trying to help the stuff, so..
If you wanna help... just don't say about the client ur using (especially on a public server)
a role
This probably wonβt work, but I will try!
I have automated my Google home to work with everything, lights, curtains etc, and thought I would turn it up a little, I want to turn off my keyboard lights using a hey Google command, anyone sone anything like this before? Or have any tips?
i read rules of discord and some things about account ban, so i can say, that for the BD discord wont ban ur account, only for plugins, that use tokens, i havent such, so i think that i m in safety)

Hi everyone does anyone know if I have to link my bungie account or anything to get the special emblem when I buy the destiny edition mousepad? This one ->https://steelseries.com/gaming-mousepads/qck-prism-xl-destiny-edition
basically i cant control which audio it goes to (game/chat) and it will just stay on one audio setting whereas in the past when i first bought them it would actually switch so that i could swap between gaming and calls to listening to my lectures online and playing music
so does anyone know how to fix the audio mixer problem im running into? (btw im using arctis 5's)
My Arctis 5 headset isnt lighting up when i plug it into my ps4, the chatmix dial just starts blinking white and keeps connecting and disconnecting. Any solutions? No, unplugging it and replugging it in didnt work
Is it the Chatmix dial itself? or the wire connecting the headset and the dial

Hello, I have a Steelseries Pro headset with the GameDac, today there was a new update for the GG software and my malware program detected a trojan in this update. The app downloaded it itself I didnt get it from any website, is this app infected or is it a false positive?
Any suggestions/ideas?
Where can I ask for Discord support ? I can't join this server with my main account anymore
I thought this would work but it didnt π
My Steelseries 9x doesn't connect to Steelseries GG Engine. Anyone who can help me?
Have you tried replugging and reconnecting?
hahaha yes
Does anyone know how I would go about creating a support ticket? The page just redirects me to the help tiles.
This is actually insane how unprofessional Steelseries is.
I have sound and everything so it is connected to the computer but it doesn't show up in Engine in Steelseries GG. I have the headset connected by a connector that can connect a controller. (No controller are connected)
They way of connecting may be a problem.. :/
Okey so how should I do?
This channel is user to user support to help diagnose, troubleshoot and help out where we can, so you won't find any help from support. Have you tried the chat box in the corner of the screen?
How so?

A chat window will open
How can I remove games from the auto-clip list? Is that even possible? Because like everytime I update a game, then it won't work anymore, and I need to re-create it in the list and now I have it like 4 times.
As they say in the Steelseries support "The Arctis 9X can connect to your PC via Bluetooth or an Xbox Wireless dongle". I have a Xbox Wireless dongle connected and it's working but i can't get it to show up in Engine in Steelseries GG. It's like Steelseries GG doesn't know I have the headset connected and ready
I have no idea sorry, maybe ask them in the chat?
Maybe the X series can't be connected to the engine in pc since there mainly made for xbox?
Yeah okey. I baught Squad and the mic doesn't work in it and my friend said i needed Steelseries GG to use it so yeah... But thanks for trying
hey will the arctis pro faceplates ever be restocked or are they gone forever?
i ask since the store page got removed
I think there's a high chance that they are removed if they removed the store page.
yes im just asking because if theyre gone forever ill probably buy some from ebay (because theres not many)
Keep in mind that I do not have any connections to the SteelSeries team and my answer is not official. Only what I think and know from experience.
yes i know i understand that thanks
also uh
is the tidal for oled displays fucking up game-dacs screens a known issue or?
So I saw the destiny 2 stuff is already out of stock, did they release today or before? Are weβre they a limited run only or will they be coming back?
hi i need help
Hey there! I couldnt find any Information about setting up the display for discord on an apex pro to view up if a specific person is sending a message on a server. Due i have no information if the "suffix" / "prefix" is there to scan for messages or does it build up your post on the display?
can i fix this ?
i have this error too, can you tell me when you fix this?
I were wondering if clips on moments saved on the account or only on the pc?
Is there anyway to do Instant replay like Nvidiaβs clipping stuff? Whenever I use moments Iβll stop playing and end up with 80-100 clips but almost none of them have anything interesting. I want to be able to do the recap clip thing but donβt know how with GG
If any of that made sense
I just donβt want to have to delete 70 clips 1 by 1 after Iβm done playing and instead just hit a key bind to record what I just did
Ok
do I have to stop the subscription so as not to take the money? or I can leave the payment card I used

Has anyone heard of Sonar not playing audio when the source is behind you?
I love Sonar, but not being able to hear people behind me in games is a little disadvantageous.
Just got the 7+ mic and i came from the turtle beach 700 gen 2. Im new to steel series and wondering if im missing something in set up. It sounds like im using my girls $30 mic. Any help would be appreciated. I have the GG app downloaded and im trying to use sonar. Im on pc playing cod vanguard.
Also new to discord and have no idea what im doing π
do you have a wireless headset it is wireless that is the reason it sounds bad I would recommend getting a separate mic if you really want a good sounding mic.
It is wireless and the mic quality is fine its the gaming audio i cant get right. It sounds really odd. Nothing ive tried so far has made a huge difference. It sounds distorted or muffled. I dont really know how to explain it. It just seems lower quality than my last mic and i know it shouldnt be.
is your eq flat?
if so that could possibly make it sound muffeld since there is no variation
no ive tried all of the sonar premade eq settings like the fps foot steps, cod warzone and a couple others still getting the weird sound quality.
Sorry im new to discord to i forgot to hit reply
So my windows keys are locked somehow and I've tried everything I could think of to make them work... I've got the apex 7
This is also the first mic ive had to set up on pc the turtle beach ones i had i used a xbox adapter and didnt have to do anything else. They worked great besides they would disconnect randomly so i tried these. Maybe i have a setting messed up somewhere?
I am looking for the best equalizer settings for my arctis pros + gameDAC, any suggestions?
Steelseries key plus windows key
I have a custom one I took from the sonar config channel
Tried that a million times
any good tips for the sonar equalizer for arctis 7 for listening to music and gaming?
@calm girder @harsh depot this is may favorite one and it works good for both music and games
Damn
can u send it in private message
Yea I did
That should do it idk what else
Any way to do it through the engine?
Donβt worry about it π
now i just need a good profile for my mic and chat xD can't stand the standard walkie talkie feel i get from the headset mic xD
so if anyone got some good profiles for that, hit me up!
is it possible to adjust the knob/wheel on my apex 7 tkl to only turn up and down my spotify songs?
Hello, is anyone's arcitis 9x headphones giving them blue screen?
does anyone else's QCK RGB lights just randomly change pattern and colors for no reason? and is there a way to fix it?
Not natively through the SteelSeries software. There's probably some third party software/integrations that might let you do that kind of thing if you look around online a bit
is anyones engine not loading or just me?
hi, I have a steelseries arctis 9x wireless and for some reason, whenever I join a discord vc the sound quality drops drastically. Everything sound scratchy and a lot of things are choppy. But when I exit it and play a video, everything is back to the good sound quality. I've disconnected and reconnected, but got the same results. It goes back to good quality when I use my computer's internal microphone, but then my microphone would be at bad quality. Any help?
my rival 5 side rubber has been peeling off since i bought it is there replacement parts or should i just superglue it back on?

Got a wireless arctis 1, but the dongle cant be plugged in as it is usb-c and while my pc has a usb-c port the dongle is so fat something else is blocking it. Any solve?
So I have an Arctis Pro Wireless that just had one of the headset cups crack, and looking online..it seems to be a fairly common problem, but I'm unfortunately out of warranty. Does anyone have suggestions on any ways to fix it or am I SOL?

ok thx
what's sad is it seems like it's easy to fix, it's not even the plastic itself but the metal retainer behind the plastic being too small; if it had more surface area it would spread the load out more on the plastic and prevent the issue
does anyone recommend using the arctis 9x on pc? because iβm not sure if im able to utilize all of the 9xβs features if i connect it to the wireless xbox adapter onto my pc
hello, I bought a headset arctis 1 today, but when I plug it into the computer, it gets the writing sound of the hard disk, etc. I put it on the phone and it's working. It just sizzles. Can anyone help?
