how to pick up discord nitro on a phone?

#

I'm having multiple problems with this headset the recent days

#

wouldn't connect, took me hours to fix

#

now when it's connected I only hear on the right side

How long does it usually take to receive the RMA code after providing POD? I keep seeing 24 hours, but it has been days, and still no code.

Has anyone else been experiencing issues related to system stats monitor? I currently have it running on both apex pro and arctis pro hub. I have been experiencing a large memory leak with it (Sometimes taking up to 8gb-10gb) And hanging with the application (Constant app crashes). The memory leak seems to affect the performance of my pc to the point of eventually hanging my pc. I'm getting loaded with tons of errors in my event viewer related to this aswell and cannot seem to find a fix for it anywhere on the web. Only fix seems to be to not use it but the main reason why I bought the Apex Pro with the LED screen and the headset was for the PC monitor without having to build my own with a Ras-Pi. Anyone else have any input on this?

Sometimes in audio i get a sort of popping/crackling sounds coming out and when i change the equalizer settings it makes the popping lower pitch so i dont know if that means its in the software or what?

Hello, I have a problem I have artictis headphones for wireless and when I listen to music you can say quietly so the headphones slowly start to mute until the sound is completely turned off. Where I have something to set so that it does not happen, thank you for the answer. I am sorry for my English

hi, i have a pair of steelseries arctis pro wireless and i have had them for like a year now, and i really like them. But now i got the issue that the mick always is muted and that it is red. It only unmtes when i answer a call. Does someone know how to fix this?

So I was wondering if anyone has been having this issue happen. I have the Steel Series Arctis Pro Wireless, with the 16.1.0 update. I'm using it on a PC with Windows 10. I've used this type headset for over a year with no issues, except the left ear cup broke off. So I got a new one, which I've been using for about 6 months now. Again, no issues, until now. The head set randomly disconnects and reconnects to the receiver. This happened earlier tonight, so I changed the battery and that solved it for a while. Now I'm on call with someone and it's doing it again. It'll disconnect, then if I turn it off and back on it reconnects only to disconnect again. There's a thing that shows up on the OLED with a game controller on one end and some kinda slider. What's happening?

#

just tried re-pairing it to see what happens. The sound it made during so was deffinately the it made when DCing. Whicvh i though sounded different

hey, not to sure what would be causing this just wondering if i could get it fixed, just recently purchased the artic 7+ wireless headset and its been working pretty well, ive got sonar hooked up and ive updated everything within the software, i have the wireless dongle connected into the back of my computer, because that is the only place i can put it, and for some reason i am having choppy audio every once in a while it sounds sorta like slow motion, and i also encountered some weird loud audio glitch where i had to turn off the headset and back on to fix it, btw i am on PC, lmk if you guys have any tips or what i am doing wrong or if you guys need more information, you can dm me or whatever.

I got an Arctis Pro Wireless, and judging from the quality when using Sidetone, the mic quality is stunning; but whenever I use it on let's say Windows, the microphone quality instantly drops to hot garbage; yes, I've tried the common fixes like setting the mic quality to 48,000 Hz, but it still falls really short of the sidetone mic. If someone has a setup with mic quality that isn't bad, I would appreciate if you could at least share your config.

Hey I've been having some problems with my steelseries arctis pro wireless if someone can help

#

Yesterday I was just chilling playing a game and out of nowhere the audio completely cuts out and after a long while of trying to figure out the problem I figured it out. My headphones switched to chat as some sort of setting within the steelseries headphones and every time I go back to game there is still no audio, and now since it's just chat my noise canceling isn't working and surround sound isn't either

Got a Aerox 3 wireless mouse, and it worked like one hour after unboxing ( the engine asked for some firmware update when i installed it which apparently worked fine ). At some point the mouse just died without any yellow light warning of low battery ( or at least i didnt noticed ). If i connect it with the cable it works fine, but the moment i unplug it it flashes once or twice white then dies again, so i guess it just doesnt charge at all. Any suggestions?

#

return it and get another one if possible

It's the Arctis Pro (not wireless and not with the gameCOD or whatever thing)

#

Have you updated the Headset's firmware using the SteelSeries Engine / GG application?

#

neither

Updating the firmware should be your first step.

and how would I do that? I bought it today and did a fresh install on the GG application (as it's my first time switching to steelseries)

Have you restarted your PC since plugging in the headset?

Any lights or audible tones from the headset when you plug it in?

#

nope

#

It also randomly says this

#

reconnected it like 2 minutes ago and it's already tellilng me to do it again

#

If it's easier I could hop into a vc, I just don't have a working mic ( you see the problem here 😉 )

#

#

Right click it and press test.

#

The chat one showed the green bar going up

#

The game one decided this was a fun thing to do

spring atlas
#

Did you update firmware before this convo?

#

Since oyu unboxed it

static vector
#

yes

#

as soon as I unboxed it

spring atlas
#

Did you do that through the GG application?

static vector
#

Yes

spring atlas
#

And I'm assuming you got the volume settings turned up.

#

Open this window up from the Engine tab in GG by left clicking the headset.

#

Try the live mic preview

static vector
spring atlas
#

and see if that maes any noise.

static vector
spring atlas
#

turn side tone on high

#

does that make any sound for you?

static vector
#

nothing

spring atlas
#

That's weird, that should be a direct signal from the mic to the drivers

#

try restoring factory settings

#

the firmware might have not loaded correctly.

static vector
#

Where do I do that?

spring atlas
#

idk how to do it on the pro, but with the 7+ you take the left earcup off

#

and use a paperclip in the tiny hole.

#

then plug it back in to the pc

#

and it should prompt you to install firmware update again

#

in the GG - Engine tab

#

By take the earcup off i mean remove the fabric / pad covering the left side.

#

twisting gently can help take it off

#

I think you're having either a firmware or driver issue.

static vector
#

Don't think the Pro has that option

#

remember the pro is like a 5 year old product

spring atlas
#

So I would also uninstall GG - Restart pc - install GG - Restart pc - test headset again - if still bad then reset to factory default then update the firmware again.

spring atlas
static vector
#

Yeah

spring atlas
#

check the other side.

#

All steel series headsets have it so I'd be really surprised if the Wired Arctis Pro is unique in not having it.

# native island Should i get the apex pro or wait for a new keyboard to come out? Also should i ...

Personal preference. There probably won't be another keyboard launch anytime soon since their current lineup is pretty solid. If you have the cash to spend on an Apex Pro and want the Omnipoint switches with adjustable actuation, then go for it. If you want another switch type like Blue or Brown or just don't care about the adjustable actuation for the keys then save some money and go with the Apex 7 if you want a good all around keyboard

native island
weak geyser
#

Yeah if you're already using a red linear switch with an Apex 7 then it really isn't worth it imo to blow $200 just for adjustable aquation. Plus the Omnipoint switch is linear only so if you wanted something more clicky like a blue or brown then you're out of luck

so i returned it

does anyone know if the arctis 5 is supported by the steelseries engine

weak geyser
#

Yes, the Arctis 5 works with SteelSeries Engine.

All of the digital USB headsets (5, Pro, 7, 7+, 9, APW) work with the engine. The analog 3.5mm headsets (1, 3, Prime) don't work with the Engine because the 3.5mm jack on a PC can't carry a data signal which the software needs to communicate with the headset.

You have to click yourself through the bot on the Steelseries website. I think it's just global support.

When did you buy it?

nimble tangle
#

I had it for a long time and now I got my new one today..

#

but never again

#

like this

raw lily
#

Ok. Then I think the best chance for help is the official SS support service. Go to the SS website, login, go on your profile page, select the support tab and press the contact button. Then you have to click your way through the steelseries instant answer bot. If you werent able to find a answer for your question then you can actually contact a real person. If they cant help you then demand a refund or a new Arctis. Maybe its just the specific product that has a bug. Always can happen.

#

Where did you buy it?

#

From the SS shop?

nimble tangle
#

no from a legit dutch site

#

I'll try that

#

cuz here ain't nobody helping or responding

raw lily
#

Then youll have to get that refund from your shop tho.

#

SS cant give you the money back since you didnt buy there. But in EU they have to offer you warranty. So no problem.

nimble tangle
#

I know

#

But you can still try the support. Its better when you can keep your current one anyways

but it goes away if no music is playing

thats from windows itself, if you change volume through a volume wheel like that on the apex it shows up

What is the difference between them?
What should i enable?

thorny kayak

chat should be standard comunication device and gaming should be standard device

I mean diff between normal and sonar

#

What should i enable

raw lily
#

If you use Sonar then you should use the sonar output. If not then the standard Arctis 5 output.

#

Sonar is the output that is beeing output by the Sonar software

#

As far as I know at least. I dont use Sonar

found the fix btw... though make sure to reload your ad block stuff after you relaunch

the window widget thing was NOT disappearing or fading away, and i couldn't click on brushes or options in PS to get work done, lol

# honest epoch hi i have a GE 76 and im having trouble with turning on the rbg on the keyboard ...

Same here. I lost connection to the Aurora lighting feature on my MSI GE66 Raider laptop after upgrading to version 17 of SteelSeries. Uninstalling and installing version 16 fixes it. But then it just updates to version 17 and breaks again. Lots of people have this problem, e.g. here: https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/comments/trvzyt/msi_steelseries_keyboard_and_aurora_not_detected/

All you gotta do is uninstall the steelseries folder thing in c drive then launch a quick scan in dragon center then install the steelseries app from dragon center reboot your pc

I have the new 7P+ from a warranty claim, and this headset simply is not working correctly when trying do do multiple things at once. When only connected to discord, audio quality is fine. If I have background music, or am playing games, I get a constant cracking/static that hinders my ability to hear in discord as well as a game or doing anything else at the same time. I have tried plugging the USBC adapter into multiple USBC ports on my computer, as well as doing the exact same with the USB adapter with multiple ports. I have updated my sound drivers, I have done a full network reset on my PC, and have made sure spatial sound is off. I have no idea what the issue or what to do. I am at a loss for why my headset never seems to work properly. I have also tried all of the support steps provided from Steelseries and have had no luck. does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Im having such an annoying problem with chatmix on discord on my arctis 7+. When i put my discord output to sonar chat and turn the dial towards chat, i cant hear game sound, which is fine. When i put the dial towards gaming all the way, it plays my game sound along with discord sound even though it shouldve muted discord sound.

When i put my output to sonar gaming instead and turn the dial towards chat it mutes both discord and game sound and plays both when i turn the dial towards game sound. I dont know what to do anymore. Can someone please help?

Quick question guys,
I'm new here and dont know if this is the right place. I got a brandnew Aerox 3 wireless. I set up the DPI to 1000 and changed some active illumination the RGB wave and everything is cool. But when I close the settings and reopen them or if I close the whole GG suite and reopen that my mouse resets. If I unplug the aerox it will go back to my setup like i wanted it. What can I do? Is the GG suite broken?

Cuz your PC is assigning the power to the games. And video capture is pretty resource-intense. So it doesnt have enough head-space to make a smooth video file

Hello everyone. Found out about GG Sonar and wanted to try it out. I love the software so far and being able to customize the audio to my liking, but I've lost all control to ChatMix. I have the Arctis 5 with the separate chat wheel. I read that by using Sonar I won't be able to use the chat wheel, that's fine, but all of my audio is being routed to game audio and nothing is being sent to chat audio. I've read a bunch of forums about how to set it up and still all my audio is routed to game audio. If anyone had the same issue before and knows how to fix it please DM me or message here, I'd really appreciate it.

sacred walrus
#

Did you set your chat audio source in sonar @nimble onyx ?

#

if your arctis 5 headphones have independent channels (game arctis 5, chat arctis 5) you still need to make sure they are selected in your sonar drop down and then make sure you set your windows defaults

Hello. I've came here to see if anyone can find a solution to my audio problem. I have an Arctis 5 2019 Edition headset (though I only use the headphones, since I have a separate mic setup.). Listening to music is pretty nice with the headset so far, however the audio on games is frustratingly unbalanced.

Any sounds such as wind ambience, footsteps, and gun-handling sound effects are quiet, but gunshots and explosions are extremely loud. It's at the point where I had to turn up the system volume and the mixer on the headset in order for the footsteps to sound audible but that would mean that I would be blowing my ear drums from how loud the gunfire/explosions are.

I've tried everything from turning off 7.1 surround sound, to reinstalling drivers and the engine itself, but it's still not fixed. Enabling loudness equalization on the Enhancements tabs for the Arctis 5 Headset doesn't work either. I'm not sure what is causing this, and I noticed that I've only come across this same problem on 7.1 headsets (I used to own a Logitech G431 that broke, I thought getting another headset would fix the audio problem).

#

I can plug the headset directly to the audio jack and use the default headphone/speaker drivers as that doesn't have the quiet-footsteps-loud-gunshots problem as I can enabled loudness equalization for it. It's just that I can't seem to have the same loudness equalization on the Arctis 5 drivers and it's really frustrating. I don't wanna buy another headset as that'll be a huge waste of money

Hmmm, I'm not entirely sure how to fix it. I guess I could try reinstalling the Arctis 5 drivers, but I'll probably run into the same problem again since I already tried that solution before. I haven't touched my default audio drivers, since I might screw something up

How do I enable the ChatMix feature in Sonar?  

Open GG-> Sonar (login required) -> In the Mixer tab, select your Arctis Game endpoint as output device for both Gaming and Chat. Now you will be able to control the ChatMix from Sonar UI. When ChatMix is controlled via Sonar, you will not be able to use the ChatMix feature from the hardware wheel on your device nor on your GameDAC or Transmitter.   
nimble onyx
coral oak
#

I am pretty sure I have the exact same problem. Only Discord Voice Chat manages to come through chat. Listening to spotify with FPS-Footsteps preset is a big nono

nimble onyx
#

yeah I think I just found out what's going on

coral oak
#

Oh! Did you find a way to select the apps?

nimble onyx
#

Yes I know about that, but it still doesn't help

coral oak
#

Or did u select the audio output from the app?

nimble onyx
#

It's for any game I play that has in-game chat

coral oak
#

Oh! so the chat and the game come through the game equalizer from sonar?

nimble onyx
#

Discord I have default audio set to Sonar Chat

#

Yes

#

And I'm beginning to think it's a software issue. When I select Sonar Game as default audio, the Sonar UI displays all audio coming through the Game mix; when I select Sonar Chat as default audio, Sonar UI displays all audio coming through the Chat Mix. It's as if selecting the default channels on Sonar do not update Sonar at all.

coral oak
#

I think that the game does not have a different output for game and chat, so sonar cannot distinguish them and will just play them on the given output

nimble onyx
#

This is what I mean, I have audio in Sonar set to port from Arctis 5 Game; but the first image is when my default audio is set to Sonar Chat and the second image is when Sonar Game is set to default. Changing settings in Sonar does nothing to correct where it is grabbing audio from.

Anyone here moved from other models to the Pro Wired? I switched from 7 Wireless and I swear the pros are smaller, giving serious headaches

#

I also noticed the ski strap is shorter. Now, FWIW the 7 pair I have I got them second hand

#

ok dont know how dumb my question is but I am confused on where to go next

#

so I have a steel series arctis 1 and it worked for about 6 months flawlessly

#

yesterday though it seems it forgot that it has a microphone and the drivers when I check on them don't seem to show any sign of microphone from the headset

#

what makes it worse is I've done all the uninstalls and resets humanly possible for this type of error.

#

is it possible that steel series has a diver that I need to download to run the headset

#

(note audio works fine its the mic that no longer works

heavy hound
#

Ok I trouble shooted more. The mic works perfectly fine on xbox but it does not work on pc

Sooooooo, I've been using a Studio Headset (Audio Technica ATH-m20x) for the past 3???? years? I think......

Bought the Arctis Prime today and they sound SO fking WEIRD.......

Like, they are 'meant' to be more sensitive but, I still can't hear gunshots in Apex from where my friend can........

I don't think my hearing is 'that' bad.......

raw lily
#

Nah. I think that's why I don't recommend gaming audio products. Even tho the Steelseries arctis line looks sweet through the line it's the audio quality that counts. And I personally think for that you should just buy good audio-company-products. Audio technica for example. But I don't know how bad it is for you exactly. Try turning off and 7.1 surround simulators, etc. In the game and in Steelseries GG. That's always my first advice but maybe worth a try.

gentle jackal
#

I have NO idea where to even find that in SteelSeries GG.......

#

Like, it's not even there. 😂

#

why my sonar microphone not working (OBS and Discord) the only way for it to work is to deactivate it, restart my computer, and turn on sonar again (a bit of a long solution) someone can help me ?

gentle jackal
#

Legit though; I couldn't hear the shots with my ATH m20x either (Thought it was because of the higher frequency)

#

Where is it even meant to be!!??

jovial nova
#

ehm what is happening to SteelseriesGG?

#

any idea?

No clue sorry, I bought my first SteelSeries literally not even 12hrs ago.

Steelseries GG MSI Aurora says device is not connected but it is my laptop, is there any known solution?

ok will do thankyou

#

ok cleaning the registry after uninstalling didnt work, what now?

dapper basin
#

uhhhhh

hallow onyx
#

I ran the reg clean multiple times to make sure I had all the faulty registries

dapper basin
#

uninstall, clear registry, and download an older update from a 3rd party website. (i am not sure this will work but it makes sense). after you do this wait till steelseries updates again to update it. i think if u submit a ticket they could help you more

hallow onyx
#

ok will try that, you have any suggestion on where to get the older update?

#

it also says in steelseriesGG transmittor version 0.1.8.0 and headset version 0

#

cant seem to find anywhere where I can download an older firmware for the headset xo

To get them on you need to get part of it under and then twist it around

I have had my Artics 5 for a good year now. Recently I have been having issues with Static noises through the headset. When Im playing or watching youtube I constantly get static noises. It is really annoying and I have tried everything to fix it. Unpligging things and plugging the back in, blowing the ports, moving the wire from my PC so it isn't touching any neighbouring wires. What can I do to fix this? Or is it Broken and I have to buy a new one?

Help?

Hey, i want to use Steelseries moments for clips but i noticed it only records my voice and the ingame sound but no other sounds such like discord. how do i change that?

#

and i know why there are the options "audio device" and "microphone input" but what is "chat device" for?

minor totem
#

Hello does anybody know why my arctis 3 headset microphone picks up every single sound from headphones themself? For e.g. im watching a youtube video and everybody can hear exactly what im watching.

on discord?

Chat device, try and set that to your Discord output device

fiery flower

okay

#

well

#

for output im using a sound modefier and it doesnt locate it in chat device

coral shore
#

In discord?

#

like a speech program?

fiery flower
#

okay well

#

i tried smth

#

now it works like ths

#

it works

#

but

#

why

coral shore
#

but why what?

fiery flower
#

no audio device

coral shore
#

Oh?

#

i guess you can have the same device over 2 channels.

fiery flower
#

audio device option seems useless then cause chat option already records everything now

coral shore
#

Not 100% sure

#

maybe look into user Sonar

#

(its a beta inside of GG)

fiery flower
#

1 sec

minor totem
fiery flower
#

now i got it like that

#

doesnt changed really much

#

THX is the sound modefier

#

i mean it works now but ... its confusing

coral shore
#

well, having multiple channels records might make editing the audio easier later on?

fiery flower
#

audio device option is pretty useless unless u want to shut all sounds which are out of the game

coral shore

This might be a question to give to the Moments team

Heyo, I have some issues with my Arctis 7+ Wireless, the USB-C transmitter, out of the box it seems to just disconnect several times during a day. When its connected to the included USB-A to USB-C cable it does it constantly, but when plugged directly into a USB-C port in my PC, it seems to do it less frequently. This has been the issue out of the box for like 1-2 months. Anyone else had this issue?

I’m not sure if it’s fixable but everytime I make a movement it decided to pop out. It’s gotten to the point where it only works in one position, and when I lean in the right ear cup doesn’t work. Not sure if it’s fixable, if it is, would love someone to help me. Thank you

My right ear on my Arctis Pro Wireless suddenly stopped working and i'm trying to look for a lose cable. My headphones are just over 1 year old and it really sucks that they already have started to malfunction for $400.. Is it a known problem or am I on my own? Does anyone know what cables to check? I have torn apart my headphones and tried to look if something is fried on the circuit board but everything seems to be in order, could it be the voice coil in the speaker itself that is fried or something alike? Thanks for any advice and have a good day! :)

and now i cant go into sona setting

fickle bear
#

Why every updates fricking up my profiles

#

Seems like steelseries will not be my next choice once these will die...

sacred walrus
#

a trick that I have done is modify whatever profile you are looking at

#

then rename it to whatever you want

#

and then duplicate it so you have a copy

sacred walrus
#

specify default device and default communication

#

if your pro wireless is still like how my arctis 7 headphones are, they have independent game and chat drivers

#

sometimes all you need to do is run it as admin and see if that fixes the issue since it will give it more prio for your pc

Sonar has been making my arctis ultra choppy and my mic super static. Is it a bug? It started two days ago. I have to manually got to engine to toggle it to game mode or whatever but i just went back to the normal realtek input. I dont understand tho cuz i didnt have any problem with toggling it to chat "mode" before that. Im not too familiar with audio inputs anyways so i have to manually open the steelseries app and it somehow fixes itself. Is there a fix or smt

just got an arctis 7+ to replace my arctis 7 2019. Every once in a while the sound becomes very distorted, has anyone else had this problem?

sacred walrus
final zenith
#

So, this is the second 7+ ive gotten. The first I had to return because I had a broken model. This one started out fine, however, I'm now encountering the following two issues. Sonar will often forget my headset, so ill join a call and be unable to hear or talk till I open up gg (which, despite having set to open on start up, doesn't always appear to) and then I have to toggle the headset. Sometimes itll show my headset as connected in the settings, sometimes it wont. Either way, I still have to reselect it to get it to work again. The other issue is that the transmitter, despite being plugged in, sometimes needs to be replugged in in order for my headset to connect to my computer. This is kind of annoying. Anyone have these issues/know of fixes (other then getting it replaced again? I dont want to pay for another warranty)

sacred walrus
#

Have you tried other USB ports by chance?

#

Have you done any recent updates to windows or Nvidia drivers?

final zenith
#

Yeah, Ive tried it in 3 different ports now and i updated my nvidea drivers awhile ago

#

But this issue didnt coincide with that update time wise

sacred walrus
#

Yeah I'm not too sure on what would cause that

#

Normally windows updates screw up my audio every time without fail

#

And Nvidia updates prioritize HDMI for my sound source

final zenith
#

Huh, well thats fun for me lol. Not really sure what to do

Ok

From the product page

But will it sound the same

That depends on the sound delivered by the controller

exotic stag
#

Sound from a controller don't understand

shut sleet

In order for it to work you need to plug the headset into the controller

#

Yes but dose it sound the same

What do you mean?

The artic pros

#

Is it the same as the wireless one

to my knowledge, the game dac lets to you adjust the mix to either game or chat

you will still have to adjust volume as it wont allow them to be independently controlled like a board mixer
