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.
Dawajcie mi myszkę albo kupuje bloody
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?
How to get launch configurations in macro scripts?
bruh
when i change my output device to this, i cant hear anything
only works with "Chat" and "Headphones"
idk why
When will Apex 7 TKL brown switch be avaiable in Poland?
They want me to buy one for my birthsday (7th April) but we cant. 😭
I have an arctis 7 headset, and even when I turn sidetone off in the driver app, it does not turn off. It's not on in my windows settings either, it just will not turn off. I have tried everything. Can anybody help?
Just got arctis 7+ wireless I cant even find the sidetone settings in steelseries GG?
go to engine n click on arctis 7
make sure its connected
also I just plugged it in with the headphone jack
and for some reason
my sidetone is off now and does not turn on anymore either which I dont mind but weird!
oh nice found it
i get the popping crackling sound too every so often
gonna sound like a noob, but what does that do exactly?.. i also got a 7+
if you use lube on an apex 3 which yes i know is a membrane does it make it sound any better
When your mic plays the sound it record back to you
so basically you hear yourself
ah, thanks
popple cracking sound fix?
wireless arctis
so i think i fixed mine
use a usb port that is NOT a front panel of your case, and try another back port
i had it in the back
click on window thing
type in audio
look for "manage audio devices
look for Artics & headset (for Sonar and chat)
right click that on properties
go to advance
UNCLICK the box that is --- Allow applications to take exclusive control of device
unclick both those boxes
Apply--OK
then do that for the Sonar and Game one
thought i knew how to help his problem, but i don't think i know the fix after all
so weird thing....if i turn OFF the Steel series APP from the Background, SONAR just fails and turns off
and it defaults to 7+ audio
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?
Another finding doing this only in PC mode on AUX is everything ok
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
update the firmware.
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.
Hey guys I have a short question about my recordings with Moments. How can I make it so my own voice gets heard in the clips too?
im having some issues with my arctis 5 the rgb just doesnt want to change for some reason any help?
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.
Sonar changes your default mic settings; tried changing them back?
yes
Either that or you've turned off Sonar which stops the Sonar mic from working.
Hmm... and in CS:GO's mic settings too?
let me try
i changed
still same
I accidentally ordered the wrong keycaps
I was supposed to order the UK ones but I ordered the nordic ones
im so smart lol
how can i make my headset pick up keyboard sounds, its steelseries arctic headset.
off discord suppressor
open up in steam Friends and chat, then click the settings gear icon in it, go to voice and select sonar mic there
that should properly change the mic
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
sent a ticket online, do they usually reply on weekends ?
No
ahh ok
I just got a new arctis pro wireless, but its turning off every now and then. I know theres a setting for auto turn off and i've increased it, but its turning off when im using it and audio is playing
It´s not about that its not available in Poland but that Steelseries doesnt have the keyboard in stock right now. When they´ve got new ones then you can be notified if you enter your email in the little spot there
I feel like that saucyraichus answers are 99% of the time just "no" xD
Try turning up the audio going into the transmitter. You can adjust the sound down on the box to the headset
Your audio might be so low that it triggers the auto off
I've had that happen some times
Just bumping this up cause it's been buried.
The headset volume is on like 90% if thats what you mean
Ive been using a SteelSeries SteelPad 5L Mouse mat, the old textured cloth with crazy blue image since around 2006 or so... is there a way to get a new one as its the only mouse mat that has been consistent and held up over time, and then this oone can go in a museum at HQ or something idk.
I don't think you can as far as I know
No it's the volume from the PC into the transmitter
Like the volume in Windows
my windows audio is at about 20 normally is that too low?
I dont know anything about that product - but I would say yes thats too low and probably whats causing your auto cut off to kick in, reverse it, - up the windows volume and lower the headset volume
Yeah, I would say that's low. With this headset I'd suggest to keep the Windows volume at 80 and lower it on the transmitter/headset as needed
Seems very likely why you're experiencing the headset turning off
Alright i'll try that thanks
hey. I've got an Apex Pro keyboard with steelseries GG. any time i restart my pc from stand-by (suspension) the rgb doesn't turn on. I tried closing and relaunching the app. any suggestion?
no
Hey, I can also do it @bleak jetty 
not my fault people come to me with questions that can be answered with no
That's very true
ebay or amazon maybe, no way to buy it from the official store
It's the same answer I've been giving to a surprising amount of people who expect me to buy Nitro for them
My sound got lower (especially discord) after installing SteelSeries GG and enabling 7.1 surround. Now I cant get it back to normal volume, any suggestions?
Discord notifications sounds normal
Why?
Can i ask something
why will moments not clip roblox
Hey, i have the same Issue like this with my 7+. Did someone how to fix it? When I move the left side, the noise comes all the time like it's banging against it.
Anyone able to help my with Arctis 1 wired setup for PC
not able to hear or talk to anyone on discord
does anyone know why my steelseries arctis headphones comes up as "speaker-arctis 1 wireless"
and when i try selecting the output/input as "steelseries sonar chat/gaming" it has no audio and no input/output comes out
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 or robotic, 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.
hi there, i own arctis' 3 and i was wondering whether i can connect them to my pc via the 3.5 port on the headset instead of the standard one
because ocasionally audio seems to cut off when the cable tweaks
Hi everyone.. not sure how prevalent this problem is.. I installed sonar (first time steelseries headset owner here) and lost all sound to all applications.. any help would be advised..
its sad how most of these questions never get replies
I asked something a few months ago and never got one either
it says not connected on apex pro even though it is plugged in
how
no dac
idk
where sound settings
?
there are 2
i cant figure out the audio bit number
my keyboard is still not showing up after i did a factory reset
are we allowed to ping admins?
@shut sleet
amazing
you ignored the rules you agreed to
you ignored user support
oh
I don't work at SS, I can't answer your question
alright
I can see deleted messages 🙃
I'm not your honey 🙂
and muted 🙂 don't harass mods/staff
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
i'd contact #official-support if the mouse doesn't charge
opened a ticket but they wont probably respond too soon, and changing it is not an option since i recieved it from a twitch channel giveaway, from somebody who lives like 500 km away from my town and sent by courier with no receipts or anything except the box
well at least it works wired
yeah i guess it wasnt meant for me to switch to wireless after 25 years of wired 🙂
p a i n
So sometimes my keyboard will light up even when my pc is off. How can I fix this?
UNPLUG IT
or click the power switch on ur pc
My arctis pro wireless does not work on windows 11 when i install the old vers of steelseries it works but then i get a msg on update for the headset "critical update" and then it doesn't work and if i try to update it just never finish the install
I am about to buy the new steelseries arctis pime headset or should i buy the arctics 3 2019 edition any advise
When I setup steelseries sonar it doesn’t let me select a device and it doesn’t let me press finish at then end
is the arctis 7+ the 2019 version of the arctis 7?
Alright I bought an Arctis 3 Console Edition and my PS5 will not detect the microphone for any reason. Help articles aren't helpful, and the SteelSeries Engine doesn't detect the headset either.
Anyone know what to do?
Would anyone help me with the fact that when I press the button on a clip in the game csgo, there was a sound that a clip was made but nothing happened
Hi.
hi, i'm stuck on a loading screen when I run steelseries gg client, somebody know how to fix that ? I'm on mac
Can I connect my arctis 7+ not wirelessly
hello everyone.
my game chat mixer in the arctis 5 is not working properly
its treating my discord chat as a game
i dont seem to find the problem
please help
What can I do about my Apex Pro changing colors when I go onto a game? I have my keyboard with custom colors, but when I go onto rust it will turn red or white, I have tried many things and it won't stay the colors I have chosen already
Hey guys, the SteelSeries GG still giving Discord Nitro?
Hey i have the Arctis 3 Headphones and the mic captures what I'm listening to on the headphones, anyone know how to fix this?
Got the headset yesterday, super comfy etc. but I've been having issues with peaking in Sonar, trying it without Sonar and all the popping/crackling has gone away. Any ideas on what Sonar's doing that causes the peaking/how it can be fixed?
how do get my headset microphone to become available in the sound menu (recording)?
my arctis 5 headset microphone isnt available
How long does it usually take for the SS suport to respond.
I've bought a product that just doesn't work at all combined with the following message isn't really making me feel great about going with SS instead of corsair.
Please note that we are currently receiving a record-high number of inquires and are trying to keep up.
I know most the companies can't respond quickly but I litterally can't work without a microphone so it's really not a great experience for me so far 😓
What product and what's the issue? Maybe I can help you troubleshoot.
It's the Arctis Pro (not wireless and not with the gameCOD or whatever thing)
So you have audio but no mic input?
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)
click engine
if there is a colored bar under the headset
click it
to start updating the firmware
There's not
screenshot yours for me.
Have you restarted your PC since plugging in the headset?
about 6 times now yeah
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 😉 )
\
The chat one showed the green bar going up
The game one decided this was a fun thing to do
Did you do that through the GG application?
Yes
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
and see if that maes any noise.
nothing
nothing
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.
Where do I do that?
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.
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.
The Arctis 7 is just as old and has it. Did you check for the hole?
Yeah
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.
Progress: Uninstalled GG - Restarted PC - listening to music because it works for now, reinstalling GG and restarting PC soon, just grabbing a bite first
all this sitting in silence has gotten me hungry 
Seems @spring atlas Fixed my shit, did just get a game crash with the new audio drivers but atleast I can hear now 😄
Ah nice! so reinstalling GG fixxed it?
Yo guys i need a little help with steelseries gg. I use Streched Res in fortnite and in steelseries GG it has Black bars when i clip it.
Please help
hello, my recorded clip is always laggy although the game runs smooth while recording
Hi, does anyone know why arctics 3 have speakers frequency up to 22khz and mic 10khz, while 7+ went down to 20khz and 6.5khz respectively?
Hello, I'm one of those who love steelseries, but I've been having a lot of trouble lately, I'm someone who uses an apex7 keyboard, the keys break very quickly, and I sent it to the service once before the warranty expires. I am using a rival 600 and the middle mouse button is not working. I am very satisfied as a steelseries user, but these recent technical problems are making me feel bad, can you help me? What path should I follow? It's been 3 years since my products
Does everyone have trouble with the Arctis 7+? I don't have one day that it works proper.
does anyone know of a 2.5-3m long 8 pin cable? i cant find one anywhere on amazon
for the arctis 7 specifically, if that makes any difference
I just bought one myself today because my previous arctis that was the 5 started crackling and the mic in discord failing and even after switching the cables for new ones the problems persisted, so i bought the arctis 7+ and after opening the box and using them for the first time the crackling appears AGAIN!!!!
Can someone explain to me why after using the same sound test one time in Pc and one time in the phone, the time i do it in pc my arctis 7+ have crackling and in the phone there is no problem?
The test is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUiv2T4I4TI&t=150s
Vídeo produzido pela QCY para testar fones de ouvido, pode ser qualquer marca de fone. e pode ser bluetooth ou com fio
my mic is laggy when i talk on discord but when i test it in steelseries engine its not the mic is arctis 7
same problem
and my chatmix doesn't work
same
This is a pretty small problem. When ever I turn on my pc my rival 3 either has no RGB illumination or it is stuck on one color. The only way i can fix this is by opening the steelseries software. I also have problem with the Steelseries software. Whenever I open it I would i have to install GG 15.0.0. This happens everytime i open the software
Is there anyone that can help me with my chatmix problem?
Should i get the apex pro or wait for a new keyboard to come out? Also should i swap my arctis 7 for the 7+?
I have the Arctis 7 and I'm not quite sure which should be the default device and which should be the default communications device. Some help please? 🙂
Game should be the default device, Chat should be the default communication device
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
oh ok that's what I'm using rn so thanks
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
Just received a Arctis 9X that doesnt work out of the box - Contacted support oniline - was able to speak to someone on live chat for a moment and the chatbox disappeared - any idea how to get that back
AND they expect me to pay to return a broken item out of the box
last SteelSeries item ill ever purchase
just bought a rival 650 mouse and wired mode doesn't work i don't think it's charging either any ideas why?
What does it mean when it says my headset is not connected, and how do I fix this?
anyone?
What ear cushions come with the arctic primes?
"Noise isolating leather-like ear cushions for both long-lasting comfort and noise isolation"
https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-prime
Okay, thanks
Do you recommend any of the other ear cushions or are the ones it comes with good
I haven't personally tried the Prime headset but I've generally had good use out of that type of ear cushions
Depends on your preference
Alr ty
I'ma stick with the ones it comes with for now
Hi, what should I do if I don't have a Discord Nitro button in the section moments ?

The Nitro promo has ended #discord-nitro-support
Too bad I didn't get to pick it up.
I'm sure there will be another Nitro promo at some point :)
Both SteelSeries and Epic Games have had it
What does it mean when it says my headset is not connected, and how do I fix this?
why is my pc making a weird nose when i move my mouse (rival 3)
is it possible to connect 2 arctis 7 headsets to one dongle?
I highly doubt that but you could use the shareport and connect the second headset to the first
shareport? sorry if im being dense
Marked with 10
It's a minijack port you can use to share the audio from the headset with another headset
And no worries :)
thats useful to know thanks!
You're welcome :)
hi i recently bought the arctis 3
but then it wasn't supported by the engine
so i returned it
now i want to buy the arctis 5
but i don't know if that one is supported by the engine
does anyone know if the arctis 5 is supported by the steelseries engine
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.
@weak geyser What does it mean when it says my headset is not connected, and how do I fix this?
Hello I'm Steelseries I'm using Arctis 3 and I choose Steelseries Sonar Gaming for sound, but it doesn't work, it only works for chat, does anyone know why?
And sonar app defaults to Gaming and I can't get sound output
hi i hvae the apext artic 7 and on minecraft when i break something forward it comes out my left instead of both

hi i have a GE 76 and im having trouble with turning on the rbg on the keyboard and the aurora
I just got the Arctis 7p+ and I am trying to figure out how to change the chatmix.
for ps5
I am having a major issue with Sonar in which my Arctis 7+ has no microphone audio unless I have the windows sound settings panel open, if the arctis 7+ by itself is selected there are no issues, only when the mic is set to sonar.
like open on ur screen, or background open?
hey how would I set up steelseries sonar for recording? like are there multiple outputs available to each audio device?
like on screen cannot be minimized
cant install arctis 9 drivers recently bought, says an error occured everytime I try help
hello question in just the last few days my arctis pro wireless sound has started cutting in and out, I always had the option to select "arctis pro chat" or "arctis pro game" for my default sound on my computer, but now arctis pro game does not play any sound thru my headset even tho my computer mix says sound is playing, I had switched it to the chat version just to keep playing but now chat is cutting in and out periodically too. I redownloaded the steelseries GG thing thinking maybe there was a new firmware download or something but I'm not seeing anything. is there a way I can fix this without having to buy a new headset?
Arctic 7 that won't work when using xAudio2. I hear some popping, but no sound. Direct sound works. Playing iRacing. No idea where to start with a fix.
is it possible to set up an arctis 5 on pc without using the chatdial and usb? just 3.5 aux? headphones are working but the mic isn't
Hello ppl, I have the apex pro, every time I press keys it doesnt do the normal functions. For example when I press R it reloads my page.
please help me its very annoying
hi i have a GE 76 and im having trouble with turning on the rbg on the keyboard and the aurora
Your headset is not connected to your device.
Fix it by connecting your headset
The same with all sounds or just Minecraft?
I don’t believe you can use chatmix on console.
Same here. It happened when I upgraded to 17.0. I did reinstall 16.0 and it worked.

Hello I'm looking for any contacts for customer support in India for my arctis 7
You have to click yourself through the bot on the Steelseries website. I think it's just global support.
is there any way to fix the mix of a steel series artics 5?, it doesn't work after a little bit of ketchup got on it. wanted to know if it's replaceable or not
@supple tangle I fixed don't worry
I see
How big is the difference between arctis primes plugged into PC vs arctis primes plugged into gamedac?
same here 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ after updating GG to version 17.0.0

I need help
I broke my steelseries 7 andf bought a new one
and now I can't set it up
and it doesn't work now
anybody??
Have you tried re-pairing the headset @nimble tangle?
It doesn't work
this is so frustrating..
it keeps saying reconnect headset.........
I might buy no more steel series
I'm really disappointed
I did
hm
i havent got a Headset but it says "reconnect mouse" with my second mouse which is turned off. Is the headsets battery full? Is it powered on?
no mods or anyone to help lol
Sorry for the stupid question but better be safe
I used the transmitter, USB, turn off PC, Turn off headset....
yeah appreciate that atleast you are trying to help
When did you buy it?
I had it for a long time and now I got my new one today..
but never again
like this
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?
no from a legit dutch site
I'll try that
cuz here ain't nobody helping or responding
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.
I know
But you can still try the support. Its better when you can keep your current one anyways
Hello
I want to know what is sonar in headset
Well they dont know, too. Most people here are also only users. (Well I know that grogu is support staff since a support request of mine was done by her/him)
Keep in mind that this is user support with no support from SteelSeries staff and that mods don't work for SteelSeries nor do we get paid
though you have a discord channel with support and nobody replying?
Woah you guys dont even get paid? Bruh. Real dedication man! Thumbs up
Check the topic of the channel :)
Nope. Thanks! I just enjoy hanging out and helping where I can
nice
what is that widget app player thing?
i can't get it to go away, and i updated GG app...was that apart of the update?
what is that from?
i can't move it
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 does this mean, i have internet since i can go on yt and stuff
What is the difference between them?
What should i enable?
chat should be standard comunication device and gaming should be standard device
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
also that bug thing is via (windows edge and Chrome)
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/
5 votes and 7 comments so far on Reddit
Installing steelseries directly from msi dragon center fixed it
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
Worked for me 👍🏻
@tawdry finch if ur still facing the problem
i have arctis 3 and i have a very ugly voice as if it was muffled
I don't see the icon to ask for discord nitro. why will it be?
I'm running into a weird issue with my arctis 7+ headphones not auto turning off like they are supposed to. anyone run into this same problem?
Hello ppl, I have the apex pro, every time I press keys it doesnt do the normal functions. For example when I press R it reloads my page.

hello guys i have arctis 7+ but on discord it doesnt show as certified
Because only the Arctis 7 is discord-certified
But that shouldnt be a problem
It still works at least as well as the non plus version
np😅
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?
Hm. Is Sonar in the GG software turned on?
Oh man. I just realised that this is the first question I ask when someone complains about audio. Do I have bad experience with Sonar or something?🤔
i just got this 7+ im not even sure what sonar is or if it should be on or not
i came from the last model
it appears that it is enabled
Do you have the GG software from Steelseries installed?
I am on the steelseries program thing. It shows GG at top left
i see home, moment, engine, giveawy, sonar
appreciate the help, no luck so far
Trying to reinstall a new version, already removed previous steelseries version I downloaded. Keep getting this.
Have you restarted your PC yet?
Yea it opened now, I have a Steelseries Artic 3 headset. Is that compatible with the engine?
sure. Should be
Click missing device. Im suddenly not sure if the Arctis 3 is compatible
I have Arctis Pro with a gamedac and It's currently plugged into my ps5. I also want to be able to hear my laptop at the same time. I messed around a bit and got it to work but i was hearing myself and the only way i've heard to turn that off is to plug my gamedac into my laptop and then connect that to my ps5, but if i do that then i have to use the mic on the ps5 controller which really sucks.
Long story short, does anyone know how to disable sidetone without using steelseries engine on my laptop.
Oh. It seems like the Arctis 3 isnt compatible
I see that now, thanks for the help! 🙂
cuz it doesnt have any aditional features I suppose
just a headset
with 3.5 aux cable, right?
Yeaa
Ok. yeah then you dont need GG
@keen jacinth do you have any other audio software running?
multi audio track and audio crackling comes from something called buffer overhead and its a windows issue
does anyone know how to disable sidetone without using steelseries engine
not that I am aware of!
do you have a wifi router close by?
yes
you might be getting interference from the 2.4ghz channel
i have my dongle close the the ground under my desk because of this
worth a shot to see if that helps
Do the arctis pro speaker plates work on arctis prime?
Does anyone know how to fix this? I was pressing R and it was reloading the page and I was also pressing T and it kept opening new tabs. This also happens to discord
ty I just realized
I bought the artic series 7+ for my Xbox and ps4 (using it wired for Xbox) but the mic is not working nor can I hear people on fortnite? Anyone know what to do
Hi guys i wanna asking. I'm using Rival 3 Wireless. I'm using USB wireless dongle. When open the SteelSeries app. Can I check how much battery left (in percentage) ??
Because I jst see battery icon 3 bar, 2 bar, or 1 bar ..
Also, I have Artics 3 Black. Why it not showing on SteelSeries app ?
Arcits 3 doesn't have software support
oh ok
Nvm fixed it
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?
Does anyone know why my Arctis Pro Wireless sound fades out if there is no sound for like 10 seconds? Then it comes back if any sounds occurs. Makes it very annoying in games when I am trying to hear and the headset just goes silent.
How do you submit a ticket from the link? I can't find it
Hi all - Suddenly my microphone will only work in Sonar if I open Windows/Sound Settings/Recording devices and leave the tab open. If I close the Sound window the mic stops working. I have checked and the app does have access to the mic in Windows Privacy turned on. Any ideas?
Can anyone help me? Been at this for hours now. my sonar chatmix is only muting game sound when i turn the dial to chat only. but when i move the dial to game sound only(for youtube or games) its not muting anything i hear on discord. Ive tried everything and im really frustrated at this point. It was working fine literally the day before yesterday
Can ANYONE help me with this please? I really would like for this to work again because its extremely useful to me and i use it daily
So im using Moments GG, but i have a really loud noise, like wind in the background. But its only on steelseries, any way to fix this?
As i see now also only in fivem clips
Hi all, every time if I turn on my PC I have a notification from GG that the configurations can't be synchronized with the engine. If I click on it nothing is happening. Everything is working so far so idk what that means. It's just annoying that I can't fix it 😄 do you have any suggestions?
apex pro system monitor app any idea how to fix this CPU temp unknown
laptop is MSI GP66 12UGS
SteelSeries mouse aerox3 ttc80 million micro touch garbage
Therefore I need to replace the fretting manually
There are many users who feel very bad after buying it, but they will not change the fretting
So it can only bear the garbage feel
The fretting should be replaced with other good-feeling fretting
Do the arctis pro speaker plates work on arctis prime?
Hi all, I have the Arctis Pro Wireless and at the back of the headset is the button to mute the microphone. Normally, when the microphone is muted, the LED on the microphone should light up red, but it does not.
It is not broken because when I mute the microphone via the Windows control panel, it lights up red. Does anyone know the problem and can someone help me?
My Aerox 3 Wireless has started randomly not registering right clicks and double clicking randomly. When i hold it sometimes it just stops working at all. Is there any fix to this?
I play alot of games that involve sniping, and because i have this problem it stops for example sniping in valorant
I've reinstalled SSGG and it did nothing
could i get warranty for it? the mouse is about a year old, got it for christmas 2020

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?
Update: if i use it wireless this doesn't happen. Only wired I know its for charging but yeah Is it too much to expect it do do the same? hahaha
If you live in the EU or Australia you´ve got warranty for 2 years. Otherwise its only one year. And if so it wouldn't be applicable for warranty any more. This only applies if you bought it on Steelseries.com. For any other shop you have to look up its warranty terms. The thing is: They say only manufacturing-caused malfunction is covered. and not wear and tear.
I dont know how they will handle this specific case
Go on the official website, Login, go on the support tab on your account page and click contact. Then you have to wind yourself through the support-bot to reach an actual human being. then you can try to ask for a refund or a replacement
mic stoped working on steelseris arctis 9 on pc but works on mobile
That can happen. Your PC isn´t assigning enough resources to GG. Have you tried watching the clips in another video player? I have such problems with VLC. But sorry. I dont know how you can fix it.
Yes
I did watch on other video player
Ok. What are your PC-specs?
@v3p10.#4719
Buy your own tools to change the micro-motion of the mouse
@latent rose
Min system requirements are lower I suppose. Ill check real quick
still getting some crackling on my Arctis 7+ (i notice it does it a lot more if I'm moving something around in a program, like a new window canvas in Photoshop CC (I turned off Executive mode too) (anyone know how to make the crackling go away?)
Well. Your CPU is lower than min specs. Performance wise your graphics is stronger than min spec but has less VRAM than needed. RAM is ok. But still I think that might be the problem sadly.
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
🙏
Although Moments is comparably still very resource efficient
Bye. Sorry to hear tho
What does that mean?
My Problem is that my keybinds dont react or the react randomly and sometimes the fights are get Blue ore red and the Look like that the trying to send morse Codes or something else. Singe this happenes tue Keyboard Doesnt react anymore. (Sorry for my Bad english im from germany)
What's the deal with shipping lately
Bought these new key caps, the spacebar goes down but won’t raise itself back up
Any idea why?
nevermind, turns out there were 3 spacebars in the pack and I just chose the wrong one lol
Then what is the purpose for the one you're using now?
I think they've probably changed it to the correct one
Yeah, but why are there three
I might be wrong but dont spacebars come in different weights?
I did not know that
I remember seeing an LTT thing about it years ago, idk if its still a thing
Hi everyone! I just found out about the Arctis Pro hinge issues right after setting up my new cans

defo know about this, still no working. in in windows test. or testing the mic. how often do mics die on arctis pro?
my mic still works and ive had my headset for around 2 years

so idk how often they break
i find that sometimes opening certain games can bug out the audio
is there a factory reset on it?
someone else knows why my surround sound is not working?

hi, "maybe" quick question:
how do i stop sonar from setting my default device on every start?

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.
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
Does anyone know how to fix this problem im having? I have the apex 3 keyboard and every time i try to change the color of it, it disconnects and reconnects, resetting the color. I just want to add a different effect or something but it keeps on disconnecting. And its not like the wire is unplugging, it just turns off. Can someone help?
Have you tried a different USB port? I know it sounds weird but the LED lights do draw extra from the port for power and it may just be having a fit with the change in lighting
Wow that worked really well lmao, thanks a lot.
did that legit work for you?
Yeah it did 😅
hell yeah
I was literally trying for hours resetting the keyboard and shit and all the sudden your just like "nah just take that port and switch it" and it worked
Lets go

Thank you.

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
my arctis 7 2019 wireless does not seem to charge
Hello! Is there any way to change which apps are considered games for the steelseries sonar? My spotify is considered a game and has the equalizer I use for Valorant...
To add to this, I may not be 100% sure but is this possibly a driver issue? The problem occurs on all games I play such as Squad, Insurgency: Sandstorm, pretty much shooters that have tons of explosions and gunfire. I don't think it's the game that's causing the problem.
Yes, I have set Sonar to Headphones (Game) for game audio and Headphones(chat) for chat audio. Doing so disables the ChatMix UI in Sonar, and when I try to use my chatwheel connected to my headset all audio comes through the game mix and nothing is coming through chat mix. I've also made sure that the sonar audio was set to default on my computer
that sounds like a driver issue to me if plugging directly into your pc solves the problem
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
I think that you cannot use the hardware wheel with the sonar game-chat mix
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.
That's my initial thought as well, but if that is the case then I still have an issue with Sonar separating chat audio from game audio. I was playing online last night and no matter what audio configuration I did for Sonar all audio was being ported to Game Audio and Chat Audio received nothing.
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
yeah I think I just found out what's going on
Oh! Did you find a way to select the apps?
Yes I know about that, but it still doesn't help
Or did u select the audio output from the app?
It's for any game I play that has in-game chat
Oh! so the chat and the game come through the game equalizer from sonar?
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.
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
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.
Usually the games I play have separate channels because when using my Arctis5 normally without Sonar I can use my chatwheel to easily turn in-game chat audio up or down.
Hi y'all. I could use some help with my chat/game balance wheel. My last steelseries was refurbished, so I didn't have to set anything up. The volume in discord vc would automatically decreased as the wheel increased the game volume. Game volume also worked for like youtube. Now the wheel decreases the volume for youtube, but doesn't decrease discord vc.
I just reinstalled the Sonar/gg app, which I didn't use at all with the last headset
Hi just bought an arctis 3 and it was fine for about an hour and suddenly its super quiet and nobody can hear me unless i eat the microphone
ape pro tkl lower 2 rows aret workig
Hello can someone help me configuring Steelseries Arctis pro + Gamedac + Sonar please ?
Something I don't understand is why gaming sound are set in Chat mix (then I can't use spatial audio for games)
guys why wont my steelseries arctis 7 2019 wireless charge
Why does only my mouse show up in gamesence?
Had this problem with my refurbished one any time it went under like 70% or when the yellow light came on. Try a new charging cable and cross your fingers
hi, I bought a laptop and it has a keyboard with a steelseriesa agreement, but I can't control the keyboard from the steelseries gg application, how can I solve it?

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
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.......
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.
.
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 ?
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!!??
No clue sorry, I bought my first SteelSeries literally not even 12hrs ago.
LOL, i have gone full steelseries since 2019
seems normal
Okay, good to know; The Arctis Prime is NOT compatible with Steel Series Engine.
Coooool.....
its still not working? any other options?
Check your EQ settings in engine as well
i spilled milk on my keyboard last night and the omnipoint switches are no working what can i do
Ahhh yes. It's analog, right (no usb)
Then you don't even have to worry about Sonar and stuff. Honestly shouldn't be such a big problem that it isn't supported by GG. Well then yes. Maybe in the game settings there's some surround audio "enhance" stuff that you could turn off. Otherwise I don't know further, too. Maybe reach out to Steelseries customer service
hey I have a 7+ wireless but after doing a firmware update I have no sound anymore, can anyone help? My mic still works but when I turn it on I get a second weird sounding beep.
Hey uhh my artis 9 wont turn on

u should probably submit a ticket
already did that
I've reinstalled Steelseries GG multiple times now, still no success
i spilled milk on my keyboard last night and the omnipoint switches are no working what can i do

Steelseries GG MSI Aurora says device is not connected but it is my laptop, is there any known solution?
Try clearing the registry after uninstalling GG, u can use cc cleaner I think
ok will do thankyou
ok cleaning the registry after uninstalling didnt work, what now?
uhhhhh
I ran the reg clean multiple times to make sure I had all the faulty registries
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
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
@harsh parcel the only solution i found is to install an older version
Thanks! Hope they'll fix it soon tho
Hi, I recently got an MSI GE76 Raider but the software will not let me change to lighting or anything for the keyboard. It says that the lighting and keyboard have been disconnected from the software. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

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?
nobody ?
hi
I have the same problem. Its just cuz of the plastic they used. Sweat and stuff diffuses through it and dissolves the adhesive. Apperently SS also know about it i think. Cuz they sell the side plates on their websites for 10$. Here you have a link:
contact SS support on their website. (https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us then click yourself through the support bot on the bottom right and then you can contact a real human)

hello all, i have a problem with my new headset. arctis 9 wireless. i keep having issues where in-game my sound glitches off and on, while discord is working fine. any help would be appreciated 🙂
yeah, i know about that but the shipping is more expensive than the side panels here lmao
thanks tho
i also had these issues with my previous headset. (just extra info)
Oh yeah. thats so annoying. Why only free shipping from 50€ upwards🙄
I got a MSI GE76 Raider recently and the software would say that my built in keyboard and rgb was not connected so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but now it won't detect my keyboard and rgb at all. Can someone pls help? Thanks!
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?
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?
@ivory oar yeah
turn down your input volume

its ridiculous it forces me to turn my volume down soo low i barely hear anything
change the volume you have to speak
have you adjusted the "Chat Device" sound?
Chat device, try and set that to your Discord output device
okay
well
for output im using a sound modefier and it doesnt locate it in chat device
but why what?
no audio device
audio device option seems useless then cause chat option already records everything now
1 sec
it helped ! Thank you very much
now i got it like that
doesnt changed really much
THX is the sound modefier
i mean it works now but ... its confusing
well, having multiple channels records might make editing the audio easier later on?
audio device option is pretty useless unless u want to shut all sounds which are out of the game
ooo right ... u can do more than clips as i noticed so it would make sense
well u pleb helped me 
well glad I could 😄 enjoy gaming and making some moments.

any one here
hello all, i have a problem with my new headset. arctis 9 wireless. i keep having issues where in-game my sound glitches off and on, while discord is working fine. any help would be appreciated slight_smile
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
so my msi pc wont allow me to change the keyboard colors. i downloaded the steelseries 3 engine and yet it doesnt pop up anyhelp? i have the msi gl75 leopard i7 1660ti gtx
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! :)
From tearing my Wireless Pros apart I think there should be a philips screw holding it in, and if you can find a replacement you should be able to screw it back in!
how could i carefully tear my artis 9x? i found the screw which has fallen out of my headset. does it look like its got the isreal flag or some sorts?
so am i the only one having issues opening the gg cause i have reinstalled it 3 times and just geting the loading circle
Sorry for taking so long to answer! I do not know specifically the 9x but I have a pro-wireless which looks about the same. Either you have to try to move your earpiece out of the way, which could be inconvenient but it might work. Otherwise you need a TX-7 x 60mm screwdriver to remove the screws behind the ear-muff, and then remove a clip holding the earpiece in place.
hi i have steelersies artic pro wireless when i put on the new sonar setttings i cant hear anything
any help
*?
and now i cant go into sona setting
Why every updates fricking up my profiles
Seems like steelseries will not be my next choice once these will die...
are you modifying default profiles?
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
make sure youre setting your windows audio defaults as well.
sometimes you need to just do a pc reset
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
Anyone know when the software issue for this bug will be fixed for the steelseries gg 17.0.0 stopping backlight rgb and arua on msi raiders?
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
how do i get my gamedac to handle both chat volume and game volume like where i can turn game down but chat stays the same
preferably controlled through the game dac
i am using artics pro with gamedac
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?
It's because of Interference. I have my USB receiver under my desk and it helped greatly
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)
Have you tried other USB ports by chance?
Have you done any recent updates to windows or Nvidia drivers?
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
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
Huh, well thats fun for me lol. Not really sure what to do
hello, I'm getting the error that my aurora and keyboard are not connected, I think this problem happened after the update, this error has been going on for 4 days. Has anyone else got the same error?
Hello got a artic pro but can't use it on xbox series s
The USB chat dial (and GameDAC for that matter) isn't compatible with Xbox. You can use the minijack cable in the controller
And don't spam please @exotic stag
Ok
But will it sound the same
That depends on the sound delivered by the controller
Sound from a controller don't understand
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
Use to use wireless artic pros with xbox but now you said have to use controller is it the same
Try it?
Also do you need batteries
Try it not the same
hello
steelseries gg can't see my msi laptop's keyboard
and there is nothing on the internet
Does arctis prime 5 have surround sound?
Because my sound on it sounds a bit weird on Warzone.
I think you are not used to the sound profile that the headset has
Most likely
This is the first time I have used a headset like this, I'll try to get used to it
this an issue with windows 11?

Hello good day! How is everything? So my "SteelSeries GG" is having problems in the Moments tab, it detects the game but after a while it doesn't detect it anymore (10 seconds time) I'm playing Minecraft Game with a Client called "LunarClient" Had to add the "Javaw" For him to detect, too, I can't record clips.
wanna play some bedwars sir
this is the user support channel not the looking for games channel
No, thank you very much, I'm also Brazilian, I think that would make it difficult for us to communicate.
@shut sleet?
Make a #official-support ticket, sounds like a hardware issue. But check your light config as well
No clue sorry
lower right and upper right lights are dim
how do i get my gamedac to handle both chat volume and game volume like where i can turn game down but chat stays the same

Does it happen to anyone else with steelseries aerox 3 every 1 week my button 3/6 would start not working half the time but when I reinstall drivers it works only for roughly a week then it happens again, seems like firmware not hardware since it gets fixed when I reinstall drivers/software again
@shut sleet
hello
i just got a rival 5 mouse and some of the side buttons don't work
does anyone know the problem?
i have the Arctis Pro, and I cant hear chat and game at the same time, i have my mixer in the middle. So if im palying a game like GTA or something and join a discord call, both of the apps i can not hear.
No, im talking about the Engine Profiles. Everything was fine with RGB lightning on my Headphones, but now, Engine RGB and Live Previews are not responding on my Headphones at all...
I want to equalize my arctis 9x on engine but my engine doesnt look like it looks like in all the videos. It says that "services in gg are only turned on once you choose to use them" but there's no button that let's me turn it on
if someone repies to me pls ping me
looks like this
instead of this like on steelseries site
My Arctis 1's mic doesn't work
My msi aura stopped working can anyone help?
I have a question about turning a specific key sensitivity down (space bar) if anyone could help me with that
have you got an apex pro?
go to the actuation setting in the engine and click on the space bar on the little diagram
and then on the left you're able to change it
ok ty
lower the number, more senstive it is
I dont have an apex pro I have an apex 7 sorry for the confusion can you still change the button sensitivity on that?
how do i get my gamedac to handle both chat volume and game volume like where i can turn game down but chat stays the same

i am using artics pro with gamedac when you have a response plz ping me
my game voulme does nothng on chatmix my chat volume lowers my game and chat as one
How do I fix my steel series 7 mic it sounds like I’m on a radio
I have a SteelSeries Rival 300 mouse. When I highlight something with the mouse, it does not stay highlighted and immediately disappears once I lift the left mouse button. I tried checking cords but that does not seem to be the issue.
im running windows 10 not a 11 issue
its a sofware issue
with gg
17.0.0 messed it up
rolling back to the previous version should fix it
otherwise hopefully the next update will patch it
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
@tender rapids
hi
yes
under input there should be a clickable menu that says "manage sound devices"

i did
