i clicked steelseries sonar mic but im testing it on discord and its not picking up anything
just white noise
thats not what i just asked you
the "steelseries sonar mic" is a digital encoder
you select a mic from within Sonar to enable that mic input
yeah your mic is missing entirely
idk
ever since i installed sonar it all stopped working
and on the steelseries software sonar tab isnt there anymore
@tender rapids have you tried searching in "Device Manager" on your pc to see if there is a device needing attention?
you can also from this search for new device to see if it will pick up your missing mic
not there either
the arctis 3 plugs in through just a normal input jack right?
it has a splitter for mic and headphones
have you tried unplugging the mic side of the splitter and plugging it back in?
yeah
do you have any other system to test out on to see if its the splitter itself that has maybe gone bad
no not rlly
thats my only other thought is your splitter has failed or the mic itself has
Man
Like kid u not
First hour i had it
It worked fine
But i like messed w sonar and stuff and it just stopped working
And now sonar isnt even a tab on the gg application so
@sacred walrus
ok so i might be just a little stupid
the mute button was on
basic logic tho why would the mute button being pushed in be unmuted
Nope, it's a bug with v17.0.0 Unfortunately we need to downgrade to 16.0 or 16.1 until they fix it.
ok cool I'll try that and see if it helps, thanks!
arctis 5 mic volume low. I have to turn the input volume to max for people to hear me. any tips?
is there a way to completely reset sonar?
i want to reset the pre fixed audio settings like music punchy setting
My arctis 7+ dongle won't connect to my pc. I've plugged the headset into the pc with the power cord as well as the aux cord and the headset won't show up in the engine. Does the dongle not work through the adapter that comes with the headset? I don't have a USB-C port so I'm using the C female to A male
anyone find out how to turn on the artis 9 without having to plug it in
hello guys, how can i reset my apex m750 settings?
yo guys i also got one question, when i first got my steelseries sensei 310 mouse it was working very good until i needed to change polling rate to 125 from 1000 because it caused lot of lags and fps drop, anyone know why? i have normal pc specs and everything is going well, thanks alot in advance ❤️
Hey Guys, just bought a Steelseries Arctis 7 headset and the Mic seems to always be on, can anyone explain how I can set it so it's only push to talk? I've got the Steelseries GG installed but I can't seem to find the options.
Cheers!
For anyone checking this in the Future Go to the ENGINE section on the GG home page. Click on your headhones and go to MIC SIDETONE. There you can turn the feedback off.
hi i have problem with my apex 3 keyboard the rgb is flashing like its speed 2x\
i got my new arctic 9 for one day and now only my chat output is working. I dont hear anything when i set output to game.
customer support doesn't work on weekends
oh so if I messaged them yesterday I assume they won't respond at all today
sending in new replies resets your position in the queue
There's a chance they could get back to you today. It just depends on the number of tickets ahead of yours in your support agent's queue. Usually if you open a ticket during the weekend it'll be late Monday/early Tuesday for a reply back
Ah alright, I'll wait and see I guess. Thanks
Is there a way to see the battery percentage on the Arctis 7+ headset?
Unfortunately no, not with SteelSeries software. There might be a third party plugin or something that's compatible with the headset if you search around the internet, but it won't be officially supported
That's about the only thing I'll miss with them 😦
Hi umm my headphones cable got bent what should I do
un-bend them or look on amazon for a cheap replacement cable
small problem, started using sonar about 30 minutes ago and I was playing siege all fine and then my frames started dropping and then my pc bsod’d. currently repairing my C drive
Hey! Has anyone gotten the Arctis 7+ to work with OnePlus 8T?
anyone fix the issue where your sidetone doesnt work? i put it all the way up in game and i can still hear the chat and if i put it only for chat i can still hear the game
isnt sidetone where you can hear your own voice back as a monitor
I just got the steelseries i believe they are the 3's headset and after a few minutes i dont hear anything from them ive tried unplugging and everything but i dont know what to do
im also using windows 11
idk how to revert it
I was updating the firmware on my Arctis 9 last night using Engine, and during the process it asked me to "reconnect headset".
Since then (even before reconnecting my headset!), the LED light just blinks whitish-purple, and that's it.
That is, if I try to press the ON button, it's just blinking as long as I press it. If I connect to the PC, it's just blinking. It's not identified by Engine or anything else.
What should I do
Do u know how to set apex 5 to not change the backlight after Enter a game?
Open Steelseries GG -> Apps -> Switch off game u play
thanks man
Hi guys I recently am using the arctis 3 bluethooth that I bought in steelseries and some of my friends are saying that they can ear everything I listen too. I there any way to solve that?
They can hear everything that comes over your headset (maybe a mixer problem in windoze)? Or are you in a noisy room (open mic/noise cancellation problem)?
Yes they can ear but I'm not in a noise room
they can ear like videos on youtube and stuff like that
If you're using sonar, you can go to the microphone tab and turn on the noise reduction settings, but software can only do so much for an open mic in a room with other speakers making noise. If your playing videos on youtube on the same machine that you're headset is connected to, route all of the sound over the headset so that your mic isn't having to pick up noise from other speakers.
I'm using the artics 3 Bluetooth cable on my pc how do I do that
can I call you via discord
so I can screen share too u?
ayo guys can i ask suggestion for arctis 1 wireless eq tune?
preferably looking for balance vocals and bass
Stuck at work currently.
i cant get the rgb in the arctis pro wireless to work
It doesn't have RGB lol
mine didnt turn on for the longest time, i think they released a patch so plug in your headset to the computer and hope that it fixes itself lol
it doesnt have rgb
that was what i thought it would just have been a waste of battery charge
Guys can I get some help?
I'm using the Arctis 9 headset and it randomly stops playing audio after a while of not using it. The only fix I've found is to restart the headset.
anyone fix the issue where your side scroll wheel to adjust game and chat volume doesnt work? i put it all the way up in game and i can still hear the chat and if i put it only for chat i can still hear the game
I attempted to block steelseries GG from updating again but it didnt work
What specifically do I block in firewall to prevent getting the 17.0 update
it breaks my aurora bar on ge66 raider
so i was using my ss rival 3 wireless last night and the batteries died on me, i put new batteries in it this morning and it wont even turn on
could use some help
Do the arctis pro (no game dac) have a 1 year manufacturer warranty?
But it just blinks whenever I connect it to the laptop
Warranty depends on where you live with varying local legislation
If you're in the US it's 1 year from date of purchase. For the EU and UK it's two years. If you're in another region you'll have to check on your country's warranty laws
the dongle or the headset?
at full battery the headset shuts off idk why
The headset
Pretty much identical to this - https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/comments/j2lh8b/steelseries_arctis_9_problem/
Exactly identical to the video in the post
does it blink blue?
cause if ur pairing to a pc u want it to blink white/green
disconnect the dongle and turn off headset
connect dongle and push connect for 5 seconds (it will blink rapidly)
hold power button on headset 6 seconds, (if it doesnt turn on plug it in idk it just works sometimes) it should blink green rapidly ish after making a noise
if ur using bluetooth idk how to get that one to work
Thanks, but please read the thread; it's not about pairing. The headset is pretty much non responsive after trying to upgrade firmware.
yo i just got new power supply
and whenever i join discord my arctis 7 disables all sounds and my keyboard keeps disconnecting from my pc
anyone can help?
thats how i fixed the non responsiveness its responsive when its plugged in and not full battery
Ok then how do I use the warranty because the top of the ears are cracked and I feel like if I use them I'm going to break them more
Yeah @dapper basin I hear you, but this is not the same issue it seems
https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us
Make a ticket via the black chat box in the bottom right corner of the page. Follow the prompts until it lets you fill out the information to submit a ticket
that is likely, i wish you luck then
yeah same that happened to mine
Can i rma a steelseries mouse if i bought it from amazon?
i sent a ticket on sunday am i likely to get a response any time soon
Can't say for sure. Depends how many other tickets are ahead of yours in the queue and how long it takes your support agent to get through them
yeah aight I assume it'll just be an email
Yeah they'll respond via email. You can also use the ticket response system on the support site too if that works better for you. It's more convenient for sending pictures if you need to, otherwise it all just goes to your email
yeahh aight
Why the Steelseries GG Engine options are not working for my headphones? As soon as 17 version hit, it broke everything in my Arctis 5 configurations, made me loose all the profiles and Live Preview not responding, nothing in the configurations working.
Hello Chat
Today I purchased a Steelseries Aerox 3 wireless mouse as an accessory to my MacBook Pro. I know it can be configured through the SteelSeries Engine program that I downloaded. However, I have no clue which settings I should enter so that I could set my mouse. Could someone direct me?
Question: how to go to the mouse settings?
This is what the program looks like after opening it (macOS version)
Click Engine.
Should look something like this.
Not got a clue what just happened but my arctis 7+ is suddenly much queiter than it was just half an hour ago
If anyone has any idea what could have happened it would be appreciated, but that's unfortunately all the info i've got
bruh it just fixed itself I didn't do anything
I need help, my Arctis 5 configurations arent working and it's stuck with the current configuration that I last set it in, if anyone has an idea on how to fix it please ping me or reply thx
the wire is plugged in correctly and everything and steelseries isnt warning my either

I spilt soda on my keyboard and it fucked up my ctrl key
How can I go about cleaning it
soda got into the switch
How can I clean it
i believe the switches are optical
if anyone else can confirm if you can just remove the switch
just a matter of looking up how to open a switch
if its not the optical switches
im pretty sure they are soldered on
youre going to have a bad time
dont drink liquids near expensive computer parts
Still didn’t learn the last time I fucked up an entire Corsair strafe mk2
ive got a custom keyboard so im in it for like $400
I would’ve gone custom a while ago if I didn’t want to be within the Steelseries ecosystem
if steelseries made a 65%....
So I feel stupid, I've finally change the colour of my keys on my Apex Pro.. and found the ( " ) key (next to the enter) is slighty a colour off. When it should be blue., it's light green. Anyone else with this issue?
How do i disable the sonar thing
my fps is going down cuz of it
and my audio is very bugged
Hi, how can I set the debounce time of the steelseries rival 600?
What happened to my mouse? all of a sudden the settings software for it is now some stupid adware GG nonsense? it doesn't even have options to adjust the colors on it, the colors went back to the terrible default RGB cycling...
anyone else have a arctis 9? and if you do, do you also get the weird vibrations when theres a lot of bass?
i have no idea how to fix it
i have a arctis 3 but idk how to setup for call (discord ) someone can help?
I have an Apex Pro keyboard that for some reason third party apps seem locked out of the lighting controls. It was working fine yesterday with things like Chromatics for FFXIV and Gamersense Essentials on the OLED screen but today both of them are erroring out when I load them. I've tried restarting GG, restarting the PC, reinstalling GG.. nothing seems to get them to sync up. GG itself still has full control though. Anyone have any ideas?
Gamersense Essentials doesn't display an error, it just closes. But this is the error Chromatics is showing now:
hey guys, just bought the steelseries 9x, connected to the pc and tried them obviously.
speaking with friends on discord, I have the sound the sometime seems metallic and the microphoneis not working fine.
during the test in discord seem ok, once in the vocal channel they hear me funny and I have basically to shout so as to have them hearing me.
anyone experiencing these problem? anything to download(drivers maybe) to fix those problems?
The Nitro promotion has been over for a month. Read #discord-nitro-support
Hello! I have some problems with the Arctis Pro Wireless what i bought couple days ago. The Mini-usb it connected to my pc and i paired my headset to the station. I changed everything in windows what was needed for Product Guide. And still i don't hear anything
"Standaardcommunicatieapparaat" now there's a mouthful
Check that your Sonar settings are correct
Specifically output
Does anyone know how to fix the export clips being stuck on 0%
I fixed it, forgot 1 cable 🥲
In the product guide was standing only 1 cable and i was thinking that it was the power cable and everything should work. But i forgot the usb mini cable
Great that you got it fixed :)
Might sound dumb but I spilled something on my Rival 3, and now the Left Mouse button is sticky and slow. I was wondering how I could disassemble it and clean it
I saw a video where this dude removed the small things attached to the bottom of the mouse, is it safe to do this
Hi guys, Iv'e just had to reinstall Steelseries GG for my arctis 7+ and i can hear every mouseclick and keybaord button through my headset, is this called sidetone? and how do i turn it off, driving me insane
Steelseries GG. Engine. Then select the Arctis 7+. Inside there is a toggle switch for sidetone
Hello guys, I am using SteelSeries Rival 650 and would like to use RGB lighting with Corsair iCUE. Is this possible? :p
No
you can use jacknet rgb sync its a workaround and doesnt work well but worth trying
SignalRGB would be your best bet probably
dont know that one but probably better
Okey guys thanks 👍
Hi, so I just recently downloaded Steel Series Moments GG today and I've been having a problem with my Mic. For some reason when I record my voice has a higher pitch by like a 25% increase. And I made sure it wasn't my voice so I checked Discord, OBS, and Windows Gamebar and it sounds normal there. Can anyone help me please?
is there a way to use arctis 3 console editions mic on pc or no?
just bought these brand new artics 7+ and i cant pair them, turn them on and i hear nothing. tried pairing them thru the engine and it keeps saying "reconnect your device" over and over. any help?
any1 use the apex pro jst cable name?
Can you get moments gg on mobile
What switches does the apex pro coem with?
Is it possible to clip discord with moments?
OmniPoint where the blacks are.
No.
You definitely could. It is probably safe if the right methods are used. Do this at your own risk though.
You might also be able to claim a warranty check:

why does my arctis pro wireless headphones audio fade out when a sound is very low ?
helloi
hai
i wanna i just bought arctis 7 + yesterday
and everything was fine but today
i hear static from the headset even i not connecting to any device
any idea how to fix instead lowering down volume
my engine is stuck on a loading circle, ive followed all the troubleshooting steps, updated all my drivers, updated windows, and even tried running as admin. im at a loss here
hi guys, is it normal that moving away from the pc and coming back, audio is connected back to the pc...but microphone doesn't work( abd I have to switch off and on again the headset)?
it's safe to remove the mouse skate pads / feet pads on the bottom of the mouse. SS even sells replacements: https://steelseries.com/gaming-accessories/rival-3-wired-and-wireless-mouse-feet
but unscrewing your mouse will almost certainly lead to warranty issues down the road so be careful if you decide to open the mouse up
Hi, so I just recently downloaded Steel Series Moments GG today and I've been having a problem with my Mic. For some reason when I record my voice has a higher pitch by like a 25% increase. And I made sure it wasn't my voice so I checked Discord, OBS, and Windows Gamebar and it sounds normal there. Can anyone help me please?
Is there anybody that might have an idea of when the Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox will be back in stock. I've got a code for a warranty replacement that was issued February 14th, and I cannot get a replacement wireless headset, and my age old wired headset is seriously going to be dead very soon.
Not to mention the code was only good for 60 days, so I'm gonna soon have to ask it be reissued. But it's crazy that the Xbox headsets have not come back in stock in that time, but I see PS headsets are back in stock.
That happened to me once and instead of clicking the application u clicked the shortcut and it worked
so i have a bit of a problem
the spacebar of my apex steel series 3 keyboard
is hard to press in on the left and right side
i dropped my keyboard and now the spacebar only works when you push in the middle
i have arctis pro headset and im trying to connect it, the mic is picking up audio but the sound doesnt come through no matter what i do, ive followed the intructions on the product information guide but still no sound
I just bought the Arctis 7+, and was wondering if it's possible to save the EQ settings on the headset itself, so it works without running GG in the background. Mainly when I swap over to my phone and Switch. Is that possible?
no its not at this time
aww, that's too bad. Guess I'll have to copy my EQ and use Dolby Atmos to tune it
my guess is the stabilizers popped out of place
i can show you if you want
yes lol
i am having an error
ye dm me it
ok
My Steel series apex 5 kb is blinking red with the LED's
tried reinstalling the engine but idk how to fix it.
i have a problem with steelseries gg, i clicked the beta button and steelseries sonar still doesnt show up please help me
Once you opt-in for the beta you need to restart GG then the Sonar option should show up
In settings do you see the option to enable Sonar?
do you have some idea how to solve it ? 😦
Nothing other than just the basic troubleshooting steps
Checking that GG is up to date (should be on version 17.1 which was pushed out today), restart the PC entirely, reinstall GG with the newest install file from the website
Anybody else having issues with sonar just cutting out? I have to reselect my audio devices in sonar nearly every day. Sometimes it's just chat, sometimes just game, sometimes both.
I'm having the same problem as you, did you solve it?
I opted for the beta version. Restarted GG, the PC, uninstalled and reinstalled, but nothing. It doesn't give me the option to activate Sonar.
can anyone help me, i dont know where to verify my email. i have looked throughout the whole program and can't seem to find it?
check the e-mail you logged in
i have
can someone help me with a problem i've been having with my steelseries arctis 1's? they keep randomly disconnecting nd cutting out audio
im having the exact same issue
hi, it seems SS engine isnt detecting my SS Stratus XL controller, i even plugged it to my pc but it doesnt work? is the controller even compatible?
can someone help me? so my rival 3 wireless just stopped connecting to my computer through bluetooth. it used to work.
the dpi changer on my rival 650 wireless sounds like its clicking twice
is something on the inside broken
uhh
Someone help me? I can't use my headset microphone.
same here
Hey i need help with Sonar
i am not able to turn that on
even after restarting the PC
Got more of a question here:
Just got Arctis 7P+ and Ive set up sonar.
The support website says I can control chatmix THROUGH the wheel (which wheel? cause one is sidetone and from what Ive read its not changeable).
I'm only interested in PC at the moment (would've bought 7, but thats out of stock)
Or even better: Is there any way to use chatmix (with on-headset controls) on 7p+ ?
#official-support I have an MSI gaming laptop I bought last year, and I keep getting windows alerts from SS that tell me to update my drivers. When I click on the message, it takes me to the SS app, but I don't see anything about updated drivers on that app. Please help!
Solutions?
@stuck stag I don't think the chatmix controls apply to the 7p+ (much to my dismay). I would have likely purchased a different headset lol. You can however control it through the sonar app itself with the 7p+
Kinda makes it useless if I have to alt tab for it to be honest, but oh well. I wouldve gotten the classic 7 if it wouldnt be out of stock everywhere (or overpriced). Thanks tho
Hello
Completely agree. Also, since it's software only, if you switch the outputs away from the headset to use desktop speakers or sum such (i switch back and forth) it will forget where you set it, so you'll always be screwing with the chatmix if you use it.
Well here's the thing, the P in the name is for PlayStation and since it doesn't support ChatMix it doesn't really make sense to have it on the headset
So that's why it's like that
any help i can't get the sonar
steelseries gg is latest version as i have steelseries geart
geart
gear
@shut sleet lol, my playstation gold headset supports chatmix on the headset. I bought this headset specifically because i can use it everywhere (specifically swapping between my playstation and my desktop). I knew it was the playstation specific offering. But, doesn't support the one thing that I hoped it supported on playstation (headset chat mix adjustment). I'm not upset, just would have spent the $200 differently had I researched a bit better. My own fault for assuming that 'p in the name is for PlayStation' means that it supported playstation features, and not reading thoroughly before a major purchase like i usually do 🙂
pretty much just means i still use the playstation branded headset on my playstation, and the nicer steelseries for my pc.. my desk has room for two headsets lol
Same problem here, any dev that could help?
Same here as well
Might be something that only Sony products can support @amber sleet? 
Was just sharing the info I have
I assume so 🙂
Sonar BETA Question:
Is there a way for an equalizer setting to kick in only when launching a game?
What I'd like to do is have the equalizer for my headset change when CS:GO launches.
Anyone know if there's a way to install previous versions of GG?
Does anyone use Sonar with Arctis Prime?
how do i use the sonar Mixer?
does anyone know why my arctis 9 wont receive call sound when it on blutooth mode, the mic is still work properly but i cant hear any sound from the person that i call
does anyone know why my arctis 7 turns off automatically even tho i'm listening to something? I do have my headset turn off when idle option
can anyone help me to solve the sonar problem, i already on the beta opt-in, but there still no sonar install option..
I read some went to program files and found out the sonar exe file and executed the it and it worked fine. But it didn’t not work for me for some reason
is there a 1800 number to contact them for issues?
Hey guys, anyone here who is using Nvidia shadowplay with steelseries sonar? I am missing all sounds on my clips at the moment
The only support they offer is tickets through the website
Still won't let me export clips
Where did the bassboost go in sonar?
Someone got back to me pretty quick on the ticket
Great :)
gave them all the info for the warranty but now just waiting or a reply lol.
will steelseries moment be open for android?
I don't have a PC right now, that's why I'm asking...
Never say never but I doubt it
ty :) 👍
quick question I have an arctis 7 rn should I return it for a 7+ or right now or just wait for it to break then get a 7+?
hey is there something like debounce time in steelseries engine
Is there an Arctis 7x+ coming out soon? The 7x has only been restocked a single time in the past half year. My current headset is on its last leg and idk if I can wait much longer.
Why does moments use 70% of my cpu
Yes, I had read that too. But when I run it (even as administrator) the terminal gives me an error.
Randomly my right headset speaker stopped working. I still get the power on/off chime and mic mute/unmute chimes in both ears but all pc sounds are only being played in left ear, can anyone help me!?
That sounds like a hardware issue that you should be making a #official-support ticket about on the website.
thank you!
yw :)
try updating your storage location in the clips section in settings
example i changed mine to be in a single folder off the root of the drive
and to try and my clips less of a resource impact i run my settings like this
Same thing happened to me today I put a support ticket but havent gotten an answer yet did you figure the problem out?
Not yet man, and support is gonna be out till MONDAY 😭 let me know if you find a solution! I’ve tried everything I can think and nothing
For some reason my aerox 3 just randomly started to lag/skip around my screen when i move it around, also it takes a while for a click to register and when I plug in another mouse it doesn't have that issue does anyone know how i could fix this?
I bought a steelseries 9x today, for some reason it will not pic up conversations on discord and on the box it says discord certified/works with pc etc, but when opening up the instruction manual after purchase, it says Requires xbox integrated or xbox wireless adapter?
9x is specifically the xbox branded headset
its meant to connect seamlessly to xbox similar to connecting a controller
however
in order to connect to PC it needs the xbox wireless controller adapter
because its the xbox certified headset
See gamestop told me it works with PC
Spent 200$ on it and they never one mentioned I needed the wireless adapter
so gamestop misinformed you
Mhm I'm gonna have to go in tomorrow and tell them and get it returned
I even had asked if it works with PC, he looked over it and said yep but never mentioned a wireless adapter, which sucks.
the headsets with x or p are specific to console
7x or 7p
and 7+ is pc
or 9 wireless is pc specific
I appreciate that, just wish they had been more open when I bought it, thank you so much 🙂
yeah
sorry that happened to you
big purchase and they misinformed you about what you were buying
Thank you so much for the information!
Anyone in here able to help with setup of Chatmix and the 7+ headset
You can’t buy a 7x though, they’ve restocked it once in over half a year
My local Walmart has them in stock
Are they MSRP or are they $200+?
Anyone here use logitech go pro mechanical keyboard?
no sorry
My alt key isn't working??? Also multiple keys on my keyboard will stop working and start working again
So I tried resetting the keyboard by holding down the volume and oled button and it's flashing red but it's not stopping
My arctis prime mic is too quiet. I've looked at everything on the website and nothing has worked. Does anyone know any other solution than positioning and the volume level in windows. I have set it to 48000hz
Am I the only one with the problem of the Arctis pro where the sides supporting the headphones have cracked after putting the headphones on?
when i click the enable moments its saying i need a new app for ssgg link
I turned it on and it doesn t work, any ideas?
Does anyone know if the series 9 can auto turn on the Bluetooth without the dongle? I feel like mine used to do this but recently it only seems to turn on the Bluetooth automatically if connected to the dongle
you need to configure it in the engine for your device
is this the place to ask regarding headset issues? (Arctis 7+ wireless)
I’m new here but it seems that way. What’s up
Yes it would be
cool, let me try sum it up:
I had set up my Arctis 7+ headset in GG/Sonar and got chat mix set up working as expected, GG created SteelSeries Sonar Gaming, Chat and Microphone playback devices and they worked as expected.
At some point when i reconnected my headset and also connected it via cable to my PC to charge, 2 new playback devices were created called "Headphones (Arctis7+)" and "Microphone (Arctis 7+)", and now my headset/microphone is only recognized as these devices, the previously created SteelSeries Sonar devices no longer work and are not selectable options in GG when my headset is connected wirelessly. this also means there is no longer a separate playback device for chat.
i've tried the factory reset on the headphones, uninstalling and reinstalling GG, and uninstalling the drivers for the steel series sonar under "audio input and outputs" in device manager (that didn't work and now i've got double the drivers 🙃 )
it issues seems to be how the PC or GG recognises the device, any suggestions appreciated
What does it look like in the sound control panel for playback and recording devices?
What OS are you running
Windows 10
is this what you mean?
i think Sonar has set them as the defaults, even though they are not doing anything
Yes, looks like they’re the default devices for everything
Is this what it looks like when the headset is connected
yep, headset is connected now
at somepoint it stopped recognising it as steelseries sonar, and now only recognises it as Arctis 7+
And deleting the devices from device manager didn’t do anything you said?
so i deleted the steelseries sonar ones, and did this while the headset wasn't connected
then reconnected the headset and when through the GG setup process after reinstalling it
this is what i currently looks like:
the arctis 7+ options weren't there when the headset was not connected, so maybe i should have uninstalled the drivers for that as well
I would disconnect/unplug the headset, uninstall gg , make sure all of those devices are gone from device manager, then restart the system and reinstall
i'll give it a go, just hope i don't end up with 3 lots of steelseries drivers this time!
I’m not sure why they’re in there twice to be honest
If you right click and delete them what happens?
they disappeared the first time i uninstalled them, but they seemed to come back and the new drivers were added after i did the sonar autosetup again
Ok, I think making sure gg is uninstalled first will help. Maybe uninstall restart and then try removing those devices and then restart again before reinstalling
i've just uninstalled GG now and it's removed all of the steelseries ones
i don't remember if it did that last time
i'll reboot now, would it be better for the headset to be plugged in before or after GG is first booted up?
Not sure, I guess try it with it plugged in
The sonar devices said they’re virtual audio devices which should mean they’re working on top of actual physical devices
Not sure if the two have to be associated somehow
that sort of makes sense, presumably GG is doing something to reassign the physical device to the virtual devices
but for some reason the virtual ones are being ignored
That’s the way it looks to me but maybe someone who knows more than me here can confirm
i bought steelseries arctis 3 but my pc does not detect it pluged on but i hear noise when i plug them
whats the problem?
might be easier to read from here
reinstalled GG, same issue, it's set up the Sonar playback devices but they do not do anything
no double drivers this time at least
first time i've clicked the engine tab and it says something about a critical firmware update
hope this does something
OK Progress!
audio now comes out of steelseries gaming (and chat but same audio)
i think i need to reinstall GG again so the vitual devices can be set up properly
if it lets you select the steel series options when your setting up sonar, it means it's worked properly
so far it's not given me that appart from the first setup
nope
my new aerox 3 right click requires a lot of pressure to press and it s so loud, what should i do
english only
Hi, just got my new 7+ headphones and left one side is much louder than the other. I tried both system volume to 100 and adjusting on the headset and other way round, does not help, any help?
Check the level balance in the windows sound control panel
Or see if you’ve enabled a surround sound effect
ok so im having a problem with my arctis 9 headset its not wanting to connect to the wireless transmitter anymore but bluetooth still works
yes i did
Also since you have a 9, do you use the bluetooth auto-startup function? I feel like my 9 used to power on and also turn on the Bluetooth when I powered on the headset even if it wasn’t connected to the dongle. now when using it without the dongle I have to turn on the Bluetooth manually every time
There’s a factory reset button on the headset themselves under the ear cups on the side that doesn’t have the mic. You can try that too
i tried that as well
during start up it would usaully make a noise and connect to the transmitter but it is no longer doing that
Do you see lights on the transmitter? Is it set to the right device you want to connect to? Have you tried another USB port
yes and yes
i just changed my aerox 3 because the right click was hard to press and pretty loud, all good, i got it, this one looked like it didnt had any problem
after like 2 hours again
right click started to press hard
like if i press it fast it doesn t do this
but if i don t use it like 5 mins and then click right it pressing hard
@leaden nimbus it sounds like it’s just malfunctioning at this point. Steelseries may offer you a replacement
thx
Do you have any input on my question back to you?
any ideas?
I think my mic broke
It has this weird cut on it
also my right headphone isnt working
so idk it might just be my wire

Hello, i SteelSeries 6gv2 and while it works just fine on windows 11 i wonder if there i a ways to reprogram steel series button to work as a windows button or some other button?

hey can someone help me at all with my steelseries headset?
i think its something to do with the new sonar
so is the default one meant to show as working and the sonar one with no green bars? isnt the sonar more to do with output then input, is so, why is there a sonar microphone option. all a bit confusing
hey can you guys help me find the home key in steel series keyboard?
between insert and page up?
yes
so you found it?! lol
yep
to answer your question
yes your mic will show green here
Does your bars move on the sonar one?
On Steam, I had to set the normal chat mic as the input, rather than the sonar one because it doesn't work
Also I thought the sonar was meant to give a visual feedback rather than just sound EQ
visual feedback is a little delayed in appearing
Hello who is bset headset gaming form steelseries for pc ? Arctic 7p+ or artic pro gamedac?

Has anyone bought the SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Gaming Keyboard if yes, does the keycap vanish like words come off?
In regards to using my SteelSeries Apex Pro keyboard on my iPad Mini, how can I map, change or do anything with the SteelSeries key to make it not totally useless on iPadOS. Currently a significant majority of pretty critical commands (or shortcuts/hotkeys) are set to use a Fn key. For example Fn H is home, Fn N is notifications, Fn S for Siri and so on. While I can remap these to be activated by a key that isn’t Fn, there’s not really anything I can set it to without losing access to other commands that already use those keys. I can’t separate the left and right alt/control keys to be recognised as two different keys with two different functions, there’s no way to set any keys to Globe or Fn in Engine, so what options am I left with here because I’m flat out stumped and pretty annoyed at the fact that there seems to be zero compatibility options to make this work effectively. Any advice or recommendations are welcome. Appreciate pings to make sure I see your reply
its not letting me capture moments, it won’t let me turn on the button does anyone know the issue?
how can is shut sonar down?
click settings, an option to disable sonar is immediately visible
thx
np
So did the Arctis 7+ completely lose the passthrough functionality of the 7s?
Or can I use the dongle from the 7 on the 7+?
Anyone know how to stop Sonar from defaulting in playback devices on GG startup?

okay thanks

u mean fps or mouse random stuttering
Hello. I'm new here, and I am trying toget an answer for my issue. I own a Artis 7+ and the first few days, they worked lovely, and then, for the past month or so, only my default audio playback device works ( Artis 7+), and the ones that i wished i could use ( The sonar ones ) do not work

Hello guys. i have question about how to charge a prime wireless mice. should i connect the cable to an adapter (like phone charger adapter) or should i just connect it to my PC?
Hello guys, I just bought a new Steelseries headset Arctis 1 but the thing is I had only one jack on the item while my computer needs 2 to use Microphone + Headphones
So I bought the splitter on the website but now my microphone is barely audible by my friends on discord, it is too weak (and the thing is I don't have the problem while I use a USB External Card to use the microphone, but i have a lasting sound in the headphones so...)
Any idea ? I'd like the sound of my microphone to be higher but I see no solution
Hi all. I bought the steelseries arctis 7+ but for some reason its like i can hear myself through the headset. I've made sure that the listen to this device is unchecked

I don't have an echo on discord but whenever I play music on a discord call they can hear it. I'm very confused what to do, I've tried countless things and none of them have worked. I was hoping someone here cold shed some light.

hey is moments down ?
Can someone tell me how to "delete" SteelSeries Sonar?
Does anyone know the character limit? I'm trying to format a message lol ( It's telling me no spamming, this chat room)
ok I'm going to send this in two parts, because the bot does not like me
I'm having a few problems.
So the first issue is that I very much want to use Text Macros on the Meta Bindings tab, but they don't seem to show up at all as an option when you're attempting to assign hotkeys (I have reinstalled, and brute force created many different text macros, but I can't get them to show up on that layer)
Ok there, it sent that part 😅
My second issue is trying to determine exactly how the
Start Key , Send Key, and Delay work, and what they relate to
First assumption was that you would maybe press the start key as a preliminary to sending something, and the send key to confirm sending it. But so far I have yet to get any kind of response out of any of them.
It would be super super helpful if anyone would work with me to get the Meta Bindings tab to work with text macros.
My Arctic 7P+ headset connects and displays charging on the GG hub and I can hear audio but my mic doesn't seem to work. I've made sure all connections are defaulted to the headset but when I got to pair it and it sounds like it finishes it just says to reconnect headset and nothing goes past that. The transmitter firmware updates just fine but the Headset version sits at 0.0.0 I've had a similar issue with my Aerox 3 Wireless where the dongle firmware updates but the mouse firmware does not. Neither have been resolved, I have a support ticket waiting on the mouse.
It's not sold by SteelSeries. Look below the "buy now" button. Says sold by M&T Sales
so is there a normal priced one on amazon
have a Rival 3 wired, engine says it has a "critical update" but if i try to update it, it freezes the mouse as it fails to update. i even uninstalled/reinstalled the GG app and still does it. is there maybe an alternat site to get said update since your app isnt working?
My Aerox 3 constantly disconnects and then reconnects when on Bluetooth mode 🙂 Can anyone at all help? It works well on other devices but my PC
My Aex 3, for some reason, has 2 eys that wor on and off deending on what's hae**ening
...
My A-ex 3 has 2 -eys that wor- sporadically. It's a coin toss as to whether or not they actually function. It's the letter to the right of j and to the right of o. Does anyone -now why this might be ha--ening?
Sometimes it wor-s for a few sentences and then it doesn't. I have restarted my computer, but any advice would be appreciated (see, the p key is working now, as is the k.) When one key isn't working the other one isn't either, but when one begins to work again, they both do.
The control -ey is the same. Any advice would be greatly a--reciated. This was a gift, and I don't have the recei-t
can someone for the love of god help me
i have the arctis 7p+ and it literally wont connect

they were working this morning i dont understand
Hello, everyone. I have a wired Steelseries GG headset, and the right earpiece has developed a large crack at the point where it connects to the headpiece. I'm worried that it will break soon and leave me with a useless headset... is this a common situation, and how good are they in replacing or repairing such things?
is there a way to check how long i have left on my headset warranty
i bought it sometime last year but i cant remember when and i cant find the receipt or purcahse date on amazon
i have a steelseries apex 7, has worked well for over 2 years now, but it has started to not register "w" clicks most of the time, i play alot of games and i cant move sometimes
does anyone have help for this issue
It may be reaching its end of life in terms of that key, durability issues?
For example if it was a mouse, there may be a rough million click durability estimate (will work for around a million clicks)
so i need to get a new keyboard
Potentially, but that is not something I will give direct advice on, there may be something you can do to replace the key, but when you think about it, the dropping out of that key may leave doubts about the a s d section as well, as you are a gamer, so it depends

Can anyone help me fix my Wave 3 microphone? It was working perfectly fine until i upgraded my Arctis 5 to the Arctis 7+ and now it literally doesnt work at all, dont know what to do really
Could someone please help me with this question. I have a brand new MSI computer that was just returned from warranty for a defective SteelSeries keyboard. I set the keyboard as shown, white cursor, red function keys F1, F5, and F9, and the Windows key...
The other image is what my keyboard looks like. Different colors, keys lit, that are not supposed to be lit. I chose the Disable option then I selected the keys with the colors I wanted. Is this just the way it will be, or is there a problem ?
Thank you

Hi, pardon me if this has already been solved.
I'm trying to configure my microphone settings with sonar but I'm unable too, I have an Arctis 7+ but I have a Blue Snowball as my main microphone, if I configure the microphone on my Arctis 7 it works well but if I try to use it on my Snowball it just won't work unless the app doesn't support it? (I'm also using Voicemeeter to modify my microphone settings.)
Any info is appreciated!
Anyone ever observed this weird behavior? Audio input in steelseries sonar only works when an app that interacts with a microphone is activated.
My apex pro tkl comes on frequently without the RGB, have to restart PC or put it in hibernation and back on to make the lights come on, WHY?? Spent a ton of money on it, why doesn't it work like it's supposed to?
Just recently got a arctis 7+ wireless headset, for some reason the steel series app seem to completely lock up my laptop even after closing it? Any way to fix this or am I ultimately screwed with fps
Had to uninstall through task manager to get it off my laptop so I could play r6...
but you do not need to recharge, you can change the batteries
For some reason the LED on my F9 key is unsynced from the rest of the keyboard?
I've looked in settings and nothing
Using an Apex 7

Has M1 compatibility changed with the GG engine? https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us/articles/4794019898893-M1-Chips-Compatibility
Any specific products you'd like to know if they work with M1?
I have a M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16" and access to lots of SteelSeries products

I want to use the AEROX 9 wireless buttons macros (specifically in Davinci Resolvr of or makes a difference) , I assume the functionality will be the same as their older mice that have any sort of programmable functionality.
I'm pretty busy today but I'll see if I can find a wireless Aerox
Awesome, no rush! Thanks for your time!
Also kinda need to get GG to work at all 
Happy to help :)
I'm currently stuck on a loading circle of leading to nowhere
Darn lol, probably not a good sign
Prob not but we'll see :)
I was hoping that that support article I linked to was out-of-date and they had actually released M1 compatibility
I get ya
how make a good settings for sound optimisation on arctis pro wireless? There are very bad sound now
I bought the artic 5s and the sound will randomly bass boost itself at times. Also theres times my audio will cut out for like 30 seconds and then when it comes back my voice will be squeaky is what my friends say.
unplugging it and plugging it back in helps but should i really have to do this 3-5 times every single gaming session with a $100 headset
i had that porblem where some apps just turned my volume up really high and i just had to tunr it back down
someone can help me with that when i play i hear the sound weird idk if it because of this or because of something else
Turn off sidetone.
Update your headset drivers.
where the sidetone?
And if you're using discord make sure you're audio device is set for 48,000hz
Look t the picture you submitted.
Mic sidetone - it feeds your mic input back into your headset so you can hear yourself and surroundings.
yea i saw thanks
should i turn on dts?
Sure
experiment
"Sounds weird" isn't a good reference for us to help you sort a problem
Is it buzzing
is it distorted
is there a humm
does it cut out
i heard it like 8000 hz
Did you update the headset firmware?
did you update the firmware?
how i do it?
i need help with the clips
looks updated
Put in an official support ticket o nthe website
after setting up sonar i havent gotten ingame audio from clips
ok thanks
with moments?
yes
yeah I've had a nightmare with moments and audio capture
I use other cliping osftware now
ok.
it works now ty
ok, so I've been having bad crackling issues, and i turned off executive privledges in other apps, and blah blah blah..seems like it kinda fixes itself for a bit if i unplug and replug in, only to go back to crackling sounds
I'm on a 7+
so, interestingly ... i plugged in to the green jack so my comp sees my headset as "headphones" and as long as I'm tethered to the PC, it runs fine with no crackling or breaks, and i can still run it through the app with Sonar...but now i loose access to the duo channel
so it's not the headset, it's the reciever?... but my Arctis 7 was doing the same thing with the crackling (7 reciever) ...so not sure?
Hey, I am new here. Just got my Arctic 7+ delivered. Is there any way via Steelseries GG software to turn off the red light at the microfone? It's quite bright and annoying in my eyes 🙂
should be a button that turns that on and off (if it's on your head, it's gonna be on the LEFT side, and up a bit, it has a rectangle shape)
thank you!
yep
interesting. That's the mute button. So when the red light is ON, the microphone is muted, and viceversa hmm.. not very logic, but at least less annoying 🙂
When I first plugged the headset in it told me I needed to update something. So I did. If that’s what you’re referring to. Does anyone know how to actually submit a ticket because I tried but all I could find is FAQs and some chat bot that didn’t even have my problem as an option. I don’t even use the engine really. I only used it to adjust my mic settings to what my friends said sounded good on their end. I have the EQ on flat. I randomly will get really bass boosted gritty sound though. Its like how can youd be cutting out in phone calls and it sounds all distorted
same issues with the 7
after 200 hours of use it happens
not sure if it's a motherboard issue, or if something new was introduced around me messing it up?... scratching me head here...
not a motherboard issue
yeah i had my 7 for years before it happened, then i got a brand new 7+, and it happens as well
no it's not, I'm plugged in with the headphone jack (green plug in) and zero issues, but now I'm tethered with a cord, and loose duo channel stuff
cant be the wireless connecter because I got them replaces a few times same thing
i have to tell the app to use Headphone as the Sonar
pretty sure it's reciever (leaning that way)
on the headset yeah
i think the dongle, or the wireless built in
though not sure how to solve...tried multiple different usb outlets now on my board, always the same
fr
also if i move my canvas around when i work in photoshop, it crackles, no clue why
so other apps makes it act up...though i don't think i ever get crackling in Netflix, or Disney+
mainly just youtube vids
hello. is there any option how can I find out that my SteelSeries Arctis 1 wireless is charged 90-100%? manual says that green LED means 50-100%, but this value is too different. any ideas? maybe some program on Android smartphone or smth? SteelSeries Engine shows only small 4 section battery
Is there a way for the Steel Series Arctis Pro wireless to hear both Optical and Aux inputs at the same time? It worked when I first plugged it in on Aux input select, then never again when I selected PC to hear the difference.
I have problem with change volume between chat and game, only works for games but not for chat, I restarted gamedac to factory but it's not resolve my problem

Hey all, I just got the Arctis 7+ headset, upgrading from my old reliable 7. On the 7, the receiver had an input for my speakers, and it would automatically swap audio input on my PC to the headset when I turned them on, and to speakers when I turned them off. I'm not seeing a way to do this on the 7+, does anyone know if this is possible?
Hey so on my Arctis pro-Gamedac the wire that connects from the computer to the DAC is always loose so I am wondering if it's a problem with the DAC or with the wire. I would appreciate it if someone could help me.
Guys! Help me pls, GG does not recognize my Prime Wireless device. Tell me how to do everything right?
need a little help with sonar.
just got acrtis 7+ and trying to set up the chat system thingy. sonar won't recognize discord as a chat so when I try to switch between game and chat it doesn't change any noise coming from discord. I don't know what I'm missing! ok found the issue. got one small question tho; is there some way to get chat to become part of the surround sound? I hate having people talk right in my ear, I like some space. I need the surround sound on that..
It will not let me login into my steelseries account please help me.
Good evening SS. My Arctis 7P transmitter suddenly won't work with my PS5, then I tried to connect it on my PC and it also didn't work. I tried to do the recovery mode, and it worked and it recognized the transmitter again but it seems like SS Engine overwritten the firmware of my transmitter with Arctis 7 instead of 7p and now, the headset and transmitter won't connect with each other. Are there any solutions? Or do I need to replace my transmitter? Thanks!
go into the "chat" options... try turning spatial audio on
I'm either blind, or dumb, because I don't see an option like that anywhere
are you in sonar?
you see near the top you can select chat, then scroll down in that menu, and an option you will see is spatial audio
all I see under the equalizer for chat are options for noise reduction, noise gate, and smart voice
sure that isn't microphone?
100% sure I'm in the chat tab
one sec booting up my pc to look
much appreciated!!
Ok that is weird those options should only be in microphone I swear
Noise reduction is for your mic reducing background noise
I have those options there as well, but they are for sure on chat as well for me
maybe a woopsie in a recent update? but you are sure you should be able to make chat more "distant", like surround, yes? because if that's not an option I honestly don't know if I want to keep this headset ahah (or just not use sonar I suppose)
My Stratus XL has been not working for like a year now and I never got the problem solved so basically what is going on is when you turn on the controller the 4 led lights just stay on constantly no blinking or anything and when i try to hold on pairing button and other buttons nothing happen.
Have you made a support ticket about it?
yes i have
Were they not able to help?
they werent able to help
I also had the controller for a long time so i cant return it :/
other people in my family have steelseries controllers but they dont have the stratus xl and also theirs work perfect
Anyone getting a issue where the front sound is missing?
how to disable steelseries sonar???
settings, first toggle
I sometimes can't move in csgo and valorant when I use shift + Q
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I have a question, I left my gamedac at home and when I plug it into the computer through the headphone jack with the adaptor SteelSeries engine doesn't see it so I don't have any of my lighting options is that the same for everyone or is that not the case
SteelSeries Engine doesn't work for headsets connected via 3.5mm
I have a question, I have the Arctis Pro Wireless headset and was trying sonar out and I noticed that when it said left or right I was hearding it both sides. I always have trouble hearing foot steps and gun shots that others hear. Was just looking for any assistance.
What if I was to use a usb c adaptor? Would that work, last resort is to just buy a second gamedac
If it's micro usb to usb a adapter then it might work. Not sure about usb c
Just poking you on this to remind you if you get the time! 🙂

Hello friends, I recently got a Steel Series Arctis 7 wireless headset, and after installing the Sonar update my headset is not giving any audio
the computer detects the sound
and its setup in this way, which it auto configured
the programs are also linked directly to the Steelseries sonar gaming VA
I don't really know what else to do here
i'm facing an issue while using Soanr with discord
whenever i use discord to chat with my friends, a delay happens (talking and listening)
while on games or other stuff, sonar works pretty well
Does anyone know what to do to fix this?

My steelseries arctic 1 headset audio is muffled but when i connect to my phone its fine any fix?
Can someone help me?
My steelseries arctis 9 turned off without any sounds out of nowhere and now it doesnt turn on unless i connect it to usb. When i try to turn it on without usb red light turns on once. Battery 100% when testing
I have a problem with Discord Gamesense, it isnt working at all, but I have Discord on my PC...
i literally just got arctis 9s a couple months ago and they just started doing this shit. they just randomly every now and then make a static noise and disconnect from my computer, and to re connect them i have to turn them off and back on. but it happens like 2 times an hour it is so annoying

hello! i have an issue which you guys might can help me out... so i have a steelseries rival 3 mouse and the engine light keep crashing/bugging.. i selected color cycle and its turns into static/no light status after a few mins.. hope sb know a fix for it
so how do i clip my desktop without a game running on SteelSeries moments i have not been able to figure it out
do you have a compatible steelseries device?
yes, rival 650 & arctis 5
do u turned ur headset as a default in windows?
there is arctis 5 in my situation, but with prime it is the same
I thought discord integration was only compatible with keyboards mostly
u hit configure and does anything show
no, i looked at official website, there is arctis 650 or 600 with Ds GameSense
and it worked
Make sure you have set it up correctly again if you already have.
is there any way i can uninstall this sonar thing? its messed up all my audio
You should probably contact official support. https://support.steelseries.com
Im sure that I set it up correctly, but it doesnt work, I just tested it with me second Ds account
I turned off illumination on my Arctis pro and than I enabled it and this occoured. My headset illumination isint turning on.
Restart the engine, then your headset, or even your pc.
Will do
It works all fine for me so I have mo idea. All I can see is wrong is the settings if so.
Is anyone else having the issue with sonar where randomly losses audio for discord or the mic stop picking up ur voice.
That and the mic picking up and relaying audio when im watching a video is a major issue.
I’m pretty sure you can deactivate it in the settings where you enabled it.
just setting up my 7p+, is there anyway to turn off mic monitoring? usually have a fan going near the pc and can't seem to find where/if you can turn that off.
The mic monitoring is in the engine tab when u go into ur headset setting
Mic sidetone
???
With Arctis 5 are you supposed to uninstall the drivers each time you want to load a new configuration?
which settings?
in GG or in Discord?
Gg
I didnt find any settings, that connect GG to Discord
Yes in GG
can u send screenshot, because i dont know where are drivers in gg
No the configuration is in GG but the drivers is in device manager
That is the only way I can get my Arctis 5 to swich between configurations
and i want to do this with my mouse, because it will be more comfortable
Steelseries GG opened a new page in my browser (ad for prime wireless). How do I opt-out of bull$#17 like this?
As a matter of fact: I didn't remember opting in to bs like that

?
sorry i use translator
Can you send a picture of the area that cuts you?

I think it's about the Acceleration / Deceleration
What language?
polish
Do you mean cuts off?
As in stops tracking?

and you can turn off this Acceleration / Deceleration?
Yours is off currently
well, even when it is turned off, it stutters anyway
Mine's wireless, can you send a video demonstrating the issue?
What surface are you using the mouse on?
pad
