they both make the same noise
three beeps going upwards
then off and three beeps going downwards
Yeah but hold down the Bluetooth button
And count to 15
While the headset is on
You should hear three beeps upwards and then something else afterwards (around 5-10 seconds later)
Like a double beep or smth
Yea it used to but now it shuts the headset off
Wat
like they were 2 same buttons
When holding down the Bluetooth??
yes
That's weird
and i can turn it on from the bluetooth button
or were
i think they are not turning on and just trying to connect with bluetooth because the mic isnt working
Hmm
i used to hear myself if i made a really loud noise like whistling)
It seems that you shouldn't hold down the Bluetooth button...
I just found a youtube video for the headset
And this woman says to pair your thing with the headset, you just power on the headset, turn on Bluetooth on your phone and then you simply press the Bluetooth button
And you don't hold it down
That alone should put it to pairing mode apparently
it connected to my phone
Nice
You can’t sadly. For now sonar is windows only 
You wanted it to connect to that right? Or did you want pc?
Alright, well now you try the same with pc
Now we at least know that the headset isn't the issue
That's good to know, right?
You just have to figure out why your pc is shitting itself
Does this persist after restarting your computer? If so, reinstall gg by uninstalling it, then installing it again from a new installer file on their website and see if it will update after that.
Perhaps try to remove the headset from Bluetooth devices on your windows device
Settings > Bluetooth and then find Siberia 840 and unpair it from your pc
And then try to pair again after that
Yea just did that
What game is it? I have a video if you want me to send it on how to record any game you want
it’s not that hard to set it up once you figure it out
trying to connect
Nothing huh? @restive shadow
no
Hmm, aight - I'm gonna sleep and when I wake up we two are gonna go in vc and we'll figure something out, aight?
I have a few ideas
But I pulled an all-nighter and cba to get on pc rn
gn
Damn thats sad thnks tho
@safe olive btw it worked pretty nicely the eq settings you gave me
am i missing out if i cant update my firmware? i does say critical tho...
Get a replacement headset
I bought 3 of the same headset to test (Nova arctis pro wireless)
First one had washed up sound (bass was meh)
Second one perfect and third one I couldn't update, it would just say that my headset wasn't connected even tho it wss
so there is no fix
But I couldn't figure it out on the 10-15 minutes I had them after unboxing
Mine were also brand new
if you've already reinstalled gg and nothing's working out, you will either need to deal with it or actually make a ticket and steelseres could maybe send out replacement headphones in hopes they don't have the issue
i made a ticket and they just sent me basic instructions like reinstall gg and factory reset headphones etc
but i can see here that a lot of people have the same issue as me
so maybe they will fix it... if it even is fixable
Yea I have seen a good chunk of people with specific models of arctis 7’s getting this firmware oddity, so odds are it’ll be fixed hopefully soon enough
Hello does anyone have another tips for bad mic in discord nothing worked
What mic do you have?
Arctics 7+
In WIN+G i hear normal
and in another too
but discord is bad quality
In what way
and 48000hz dvd quality i have
In what way is it bad quality?
yes
Does it cut out?
Do you use sonar?
Explain your issue in words as well, and someone who can (and wants to) help will
minecraft/lunar
it works fine with valorant
Hi
Does anyone have a fix for arctis 1 (wired) microphone echoing and sometimes not working at all (requires repeated pull and plug)?
I've heard of problems with sidetone, but I can't find any settings for that in the Steelseries engine
edit: checked windows 10 sound settings, no sidetone option
Oh and restarting sonar bricks everything
I got a question I just got a arctis 9x wireless headset and I was wondering how I could fix this or if there is a workaround, A while ago I accidentally broke my sync button on the side of my Xbox I usually sync my controllers to my console by connecting a cord from my controller to my Xbox then I unplug it and it works I thought that would work for my headset but it doesn’t am I gonna have to return the headset and get a wired headset or is there a workaround
If your willing to follow this I actually made a video tutorial on how to do exactly that. If it’s too hard to follow I can also describe how to do it in text but this was the easiest way in my eyes on how to help people clip lunar without sending a text wall 
Does the issue fix itself after unplugging and re-plugging it back in?
Hello guys!
Is there a possibility to let the profiles auto-switch when a specific game starts?
Nope but I’ve heard from a staff member they’re trying to make it happen apparently 👀
thanks for this.
I mean that was meant for someone else but if you find use out of it (which is still possible ofc) then I’m glad. Your welcome 
i know, i just needed it anyways lol
Oh well bet. I’m glad I could help 
Very nice :D Thanks, man!
my arctis 3 mic isnt working when i speak it speaks through my webcam mic instead of my headset mic even though its my default also the steel series engine isn’t detecting my headset
Have you set the headset as audio input?
yes is it called sonar?
why I hear sometimes nothing on discord with Sonar??
My rival 650 scrolwheel is not working. Any idea how can I fix it?
If you use Sonar, there should be several outputs with sonar in it.
Have you set the right audio output in Discord?
the microphone will still work
First I tried Sonar Chat but this isnt working. After 3 min i cant hear the people in the talk
i see only 1
ok
it doesnt detect my mic so i have to use my laptop mic
it doesnt even detect my headset in the engine
oh
Have you unplugged and replugged your headset?
This is a new purchase right?
Maybe you put them silent with the ChatMix wheel?
Bru someone please help

And I invisible or something none of you sorry discord nerds can help 1 guy out wow
My dude. Understand that not everyone can help. Not everyone has the time to help. Not everyone wants to help. Some may want to help but not know how to. But whatever the situation is please don't get annoyed and start insulting people and getting impatient, because that will only harm your case
So my headset works perfectly fine with everything... however whenever I launch modded Minecraft through over wolf, I can see that it is playing sound in my mixer, but I can't hear anything. Whenever I use speakers it works perfectly fine though. I even tried to see if it was Java but normal Minecraft worked just fine. Does anyone know how to fix this... I already made sure my volume was on and everything (ie. ran other games my discord worked just fine) I also have set my default output as arctis pro game.
Hello! I recently bought a Rival 300S and at first, it was working quite fine. However, after about 20 minutes of use, it stopped working.
Anyone?
still looking for help
I just got Arctics 7+, it says there is a crucial update but when I click update firmware nothing happens or pops up. I have tried to reset my pc, uninstall and reinstall gg, and change my connection port. Does anyone know why?
why do my clips look like this now
Hi everyone! Someone know which settings for a better experience? (It is Arctis 5)
i prefer how it sounds without 7.1 surround sound but each to their own
its to do with your sound so the lower the frequency makes the lower tone sounds louder/quite depending whether u put the toggle up or down
same goes with high frequency. higher frequency=higher pitch tones
left is low right is high
Oh okk thank you
My gf is trying to setup her new Arctis 7X+ on her PC. We've got everything setup, and GG and Sonar installed and configured. The chatmix feature is working properly if we drag the slider in the app. But the problem is that the chatmix dial on the headset doesn't seem to be doing anything.
We've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the headset.
We've tried exiting and reopening GG.
Again, the chatmix slider in the app does work. If we slide it around, I get louder on one end, and the game gets louder on the other. The issue is that the dial doesn't work on the physical headset.
Is there something I need to do to get it working?
I screwed my nova pro wireless by downloading engine 3.13.4. RIP
Is there a way to reset an arctis79+, PC just keeps telling me to reconnect, but that does nothing. I cannot power it off the headset, light stays on (green) no matter what I do. uninstalled the software and reinstalled latest. same issue
*7P+
If I disconnect the dongle it realizes it's not there, but it never sees the headset when I reconnect the dongle and just says reconnect
My arctis 7+ will NOT TURN OFF. its been a whole 12 HOURS and they don't turn off, I cant hear anything in them either and the mic muted indicator is red. even the reset button inside the cushion does not work. please help me.
people hear what im hearing out of my headset but can barely hear me if not at all
arctis7p+
please
help
thanks,
weird...
i mean mine is
so it only seems to me like you have an older version
ace please help me
ight ty
Yes very. It started out as the headset not being detected in GG/Engine, but working perfectly with Windows. Now Windows still detects it but can't hear audio from the headset even when paired (no icon showing the pair now though). If there is a way to restore or reset that DSP, I'd love to know. Been searching for a bootloader method.
Seems search doesn't work atm. Anybody got a fix for high CPU usage (Windows Audio, SteelSeries GG) on Windows 11? When I install SteelSeries GG and set up the virtual devices for the Nova Pro Wireless, all is well until I reboot. Thereafter, the audio engine is consistently using about 20% CPU on an AMD Ryzen 9 5900, the OS and applications are somewhat unresponsive, probably due to scheduling issues in the OS, and I get weird flickers in windows explorer. When I uninstall SteelSeries GG, everything goes back to normal.
@safe olive y'all need help in the vc? 
Does disabling sonar fix the issue? if so do you have ai noise cancellation enabled?
What's amd CPUs called
That'll depend what cpu you have
Ryzen 5 5600X
I just reinstalled, Sonar is now active, turned on AI NC - didn't know this was a thing - and all is well.
Going to reboot, to show the difference. Brb.
RYZENNNN THIS DICK UP YOOO AASSSSS RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Damn you got me there
LETS GO
I'll never emotionally recover from this 😭
GG welp played
Keep
Yourself

Oh it got deleted
Sad
Dm me for moral support
Well I guess that's good 👀 I wonder what caused the issue 
~~don't do it alan

After reboot.
:(
Hi, im playing r6 with headset artic pro gamedac, can u recommend me some settings and maybe tell me what should i choose between Hi-res and Pc? With Hi-res i think i cant turn on surround
Lmao really?
Ye
Bruh

Please refrain from this kind of behavior in the fiture
I'm perm banned
Tf am I gonna do
Join back
Lmao
Now how am I gonna ask 9y olds for PC advice
Tbh the bot probably has that same message for both warnings and bans
talk in general please i need help in this channel
No
Hmmmm looks like dolby access is throwing a fit. I don't think this is required by steelseries so if you wanna uninstall the thing or disable the service that activates it on boot you can
The person I did it on did @mod
And yeah if people need to post actual support questions here you should move the convo to #💬-general
And cried
What do you need? 
@weak geyser good bye my sweetie
@bright horizon sorry for ping btw
Do you use sonar?
Nope. Now that it's uninstalled, it's just blaming something else that's using audio for the high usage. I can keep closing apps and it ends up blaming Windows Audio in the end.
idk what is sonar for
Basically is this tab enabled or disabled. I'm just asking because hi-res won't work (afaik) if you do use sonar.
Id be happy with GG actually loading and working for once
afaik the only fix for GG's infinite loading is reinstalling if neither restarting the app nor waiting worked
till now i have always used PC instead of HiRes and now i started wondering abt that
I reinstalled it twice, disable every service possible not related to SS GG. Restarted and reinstalled and it loaded once installed but then it doesn't load anymore, running it as admin does nothin either
I hate LGS but at least it loads, I think im SOL and have to go back to the other brand
You can uninstall skype if you don't use it by going into settings, apps -> apps & features -> and uninstall it from the list of apps. dax api is apparently associated with Dolby Atmos so you can uninstall that if you don't use that or delete the exe or disable the service associated with it. Other than that it could be a windows issue which you could maybe fix by searching "command prompt", press run as administrator, and do sfc /scannow and it'll do a system file check to make sure windows doesn't have corrupted files
sometimes that does well
I'm a developer, but thanks for the ELI5. I'll try the sys scan, but seems unlikely since this is a rather fresh install of w11.
And like I said, it's not Skype causing trouble. It's just another application that uses sound.
Search now working again, seems the high CPU issue is somewhat frequent? I don't have Moments active, just Sonar.
Hmmmm, if you want i could link you to an app called process monitor to see what processes are doing what on your computer and kinda scope things out yourself, but that'd be up to you. You can also try disabling sonar and doing things as normal for a bit to see if it all settles down, or just in general letting things sit
other than these though that's kinda strange and I have no other recommendations as I'm stumped 
has anyone found a fix for the pairing issue on the nova wireless to the DAC?
hi, i'm looking to see if anyone has the same issue as me/has a solution for me. so with my apex 7, i have a "default" config that is just standard use, and several configs for different games and such that autolaunch when said game is launched. whenever i set my default config active and then launch a game, the program SAYS it's got the game config active but the OLED screen doesn't indicate the swap, the keyboard just blinks rapidly as though it has swapped. however, my custom keybinds for these games do not work. for example, i have it set to toggle a left shift hold for ESO but it only works if i set the ESO profile to my default in SSengine. anyone else had this type of issue, and have some kind of fix aside from "manually swapping configs every time i launch a game"? that's super tedious and i'd rather not do that. thanks in advance :) (and sorry if this doesn't make a ton of sense, i tried to explain it the best i can)
Interestingly, it seems that disabling my Realtek laptop speakers in device manager fixed it. I guess we can blame Microsoft instead of SteelSeries then. Thanks for the assistance
Probably a Win11 bug they haven't fixed yet, would be my guess.
Your welcome lol. Also you should link some things in your about me to get more attention to the things you code 👀
Also as always yes lets put the blame on windows 11 
Now that I'm here, the mix adjustment doesn't appear to be working. The base station indicates the mix adjustment, but no change in the audio output.
And no, not the same audio device selected for communications.
Does this show change when using the dial?
It does not. It stays in the middle.
Have you tried unplugging and plugging it back in?
it should reflect what your dac says
Oldest trick in the book, and it worked. 🤷
Neither was I. It was reflecting other changes, like changing the LED screen to simple instead of detailed.
Steelseries being steelseries 
I have a question. Just bought Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Xbox version. Would it be possible to use a USB Splitter on the usb port on the dock to connect to PC and PS5?
Interesting question. because of how the firmware is and the interface, I don't think so. But you can try it if you have one. I wouldn't get your hopes up though
I'm having a lot of trouble when sonar on like a fps drop cpu %100 can some one help me ?
It comes in Wednesday. I will give it a shot then.
alr bet
I just got Arctics 7+, it says there is a crucial update but when I click update firmware nothing happens or pops up. I have tried to reset my pc, uninstall and reinstall gg, and change my connection port. Does anyone know why?
I've heard a bunch of users complain about this, afaik it's a steelseries issue and hopefully, probably will be fixed soon 
ok
@short dirge The only real "fix" i know of so far is to get a different pair
i bought 3 arctis nova pro wireless headsets (due to my first pair being a bit wonky)
and found out that some headsets sound better than other, and some headsets just wont update
My third pair would not change status to connected
even tho it was wired into the same port(s) as the 2 prior headsets (which did update perfectly fine)
ty
i got the nova pro wireless on the 1st and for the past 3 days, it seemed like there was no fix to my problem with them. Only near the end of yesterday is when i fully figured out what was wrong and the fix was pretty damn simple. If anybody wants help, @ me and ill try my best to see what i could do
@timid prairie for what issue?
was it a pairing issues because thats what im dealing with rn
with what headset?
nova wireless
how have you tried to pair it so far?
(i also have that headset) and mostly fixed pretty much anything that could go wrong
holding power down when its off
holding both power and bluethooth down when off
i cant seem to get it paired to the DAC
ive let the battery die and retried
ive left it pairing for hours and still nothing
well yeah i have tried doing that before and after the previous steps
i had this issue once
i can pair to bluethooth but nothing i do will pair it to the DAC
ok so
what i tried was the same thing - minus the holding down bluetooth and power
no idea where you got that from
a reddit post i trued eveyrhing
anyhow, unplug the dac and plug it into another port (OR if possible a different computer)
i just plugged into a diffrent port and will try i dont have another computer redily avalable
then you make sure the DAC is in pairing mode; settings > Wireless > 2.4G > pair (press on pair until it says pairing)
then the headset starts off and you just hold the power button down infinitely basically
until you get paired
trying now
ye, but unplugging the dac and waiting like 20 sec, and then plugging it back in fixed it for me
I was tryna pair it with two different nova headsets (because my first one sounded weird)
and it stopped pairing at some point so i did what i said above
ok i waiting about 20-30 secs im trying to pair now
nothing
ive watched a YT video and my hedset isnt rappidy flashing like it should to go into pairing mode its only flashing 2 times every second
i didnt think so but nothing i do will get it into that rapid flashing pairing mode
you get into pairing mode by holding the power button for like 10 seconds (after your hear the first beep of it turning on)
when i turn on i hear 1 beep and then when i hold for 10 seconds it just flashed the 2 times a second
ive held it down for like a minute and still no reapid flashing
then it may be faulty
you think?
i opened a ticket with support earlier today so im waiting to hear back from them
As i had 3 of the same headset i can say that the different headsets sometimes have different soundcapabilities, and some headsets fail to pair or even update even when the other 2 i had did it perfectly fine with the same port
i was trying to look up to see if there was a HARD restart on the headset itself but couldnt find anything
try this last thing and if it doesnt work, then probably ask for a replacement
ok whats the last thing
Take out the battery of the headset and leave it on the side, then unplug the DAC from any power, and unplug any of its connections
Leave both of these powerless for around 2 hours or more
This i got from the supportteam themselves
id that 2 nights ago still nothing
yeah then replacement
how does SS do their replacements? Do i have to send this back to them and they they send a replacement?
as any company does replacements: yea
or will they send replacement and they i send back
i know some companies do that ^^
how i did it was i bought a new pair from my local shop and just let my first one refund slowly while i use the second one
i got these at my local best buy and was going to return and just get another pair but eveyone else local to me are sold out
but thats because i have a good returnpolicy in that shop, i can return anything i've used within 30 days of purchase, so thats why i had basically had 2 and at some point 3 at my home at once
yeah okay, that sucks
thats unlucky
yeah right i got the last pair on friday and then ran into this issue, troubleshooted myself and then thought about return but no one else and them so i was just kinda stuck trying to fix the issue until SS gets back to me
i mean you could this one last last thing
which fixed a different issue for me
I had my headset crackle every like 3-10 minutes
randomly
anything ill try at this point
like i could play the same part of a song mulitple times and get a crackle once, other times not a single one and other times it appears at a completely different part
and the crackles werent tied to any high or low frequencies or anything soundrelated like that
Anyhow, my fix was:
go to power options
you go back a step once you clicked there, basically go back to "Power Options"
go to the highlighted spot above
and then
if this setting highlighted is on, you turn it off and SHUT DOWN your PC (not restart) after shutting down you turn it back on and basically try to pair again
trust me, i am an IT nerd and tried everything from EMF reading my room to find spots with least interference and tried all kinds of settings
but this did it for me
ill give it a shot rn
do i need to restart after i turn it back on?
you dont turn it back on
waiting
is it on rn or off?
it is check yes
aight, then that should fix it
my selfmade explaination is that your pc probably overclocked your DAC and the headset thus rendering them kinda useless - like there was just static within the transmission
if that doesnt fix it, then nothing can
i was thinking something like that because my razer mouse also runs off 2.4ghz so i turned that off unplugged dogle and just user it wired but it didnt help but ill give this a shot RN
ye, go for it
ok im back gave it about a min to completely shut down and am going to try pairing now
aight

it should look like that
so weird that it wont
is bluetooth on by any chance? on your headset
it does look like that on the dac but i cant get the rapid blink on the headset
bluetooth is off can confirm
hmm
and you already tried holding down power and bluetooth (as one guy said that fixed it for him on a reddit)
ive tried button press and hold sequences on the headset and nothing
yeah i found that and tried and nothing still
yup tried it all
also when DAC is in pairing mode if i take the battery out the headset and plug it back in it auto turn on blinks 1 time per second about 3 times and then goes into the 2 blinks per second mode IDK if that means anything
take out the battery and spam the power and bluetooth on the headset
to make sure any stuck electricity is emptied out
just did and it turned off completely
then try this again twice, one times focusing on making the button presses as "AT THE SAME TIME" as possible
i know i sound stupid, but perhaps something irrelevant ends up fixing it and then we can forget about our stupid approach to fixing it
and the second time you try to make it a 1-2 button press, so not exactly at the same time
but more microdelayed if that makes sense
@safe olive@mystic blade it was a couple issues but primarily one to do with playing music and playing a game at the same time. whenever id do so and pause the music, it would cancel all other sounds within my computer until i uncaused the music. there was also about a 200ish ms delay along with a pairing problem. All of them were just a simple fix
@safe olive just tried a few times to make sure im pressinag at the same time and i believe i am and still nothing
whats the problem?
perhaps it fixes his problem
pairing nova wireless with DAC
he cant pair his headset to the DAC
does it say reconnect headphones in the engine?
wait
and i assume youve tried turning things on and off yea
hold
along with re-pairing it the normal way?
o nvm, i guess the dac is connected and charging the battery that is within the DAC
normal way as in go to pair on DAC and hold power when off on the headsert
yes
@safe olive yeah
oh myb
no worries
i do have them paired to my iphone right now but before i got them to pair to my iphone it was still the same issue
have you tried removing that?
i have not i can rn tho
give it a shot
you might need to try doing it a couple times
and after its gone
unplug it
you have to keep in mind tho (something i keep forgetting) that his headset has the issue
it wont go into pairing mode
could be because it thinks it is already connected to something perhaps
ok removed and unplugged
so maybe removing it like Potata says, could move towards fixing it
im plug back in now and attempt to pair again
welL?
nada
Quick video on getting the Nova Pro Headset paired to the base station.
try turning on bluetooth and then turning it off again
thats the video i saw that it needs to be in rapid flashing
ye
just truned off
held power turnd on but still no rapid flash
ok
F
i have another think you can try
lets go
i had a similar problem at the start
i just waited till the shits turned off
scroll down a bit on this post
on their own
supposedly the arctis nova pro wireless has a reset button
I can confirm the ear pads do come off, incase you think they dont
so i tried that but was unable to find a reset button
i removed my own, and they can only be re-attatched the right way, it doesnt allign if you set the pads back the wrong way so dw about that
I mean
mine had this tiny hole
yours should also that
have that
i tried pressing but there was no click let me grab a needle or something a bit smaller
yeah
That's what I was looking for too, how do the pads come off exactly?
yeah theres no click
PULL haha
@orchid rover as destructive as it might feel the pads are sturdy
you just gotta pull them by the soft-pads themselves
so no digging your nails into the tiny holes at the top or bottom of the headsetpad
you just lightly pull on the pad itself
@safe olive both cups have the same hole and neither click
Got it. It's an entire piece unlike arctis pro where the pads fit over the cup
how do i remove sonar
@mystic blade it says there should be a little something, and you just hold it down for a second...
hmm
then im out of ideas for now
same
i think the artical is showiing the older model
it is
sounds good! thanks for all your help
its arctis 7
but why would steelseries have the same hole if they arent gonna use it for anything
that just sounds dumb
u feel me? xD
yeah im thinking with NOVA wireless since the designed changes that did ttoo
Cosmetic hole that nobody will see 
because thats what i look for in a 350 headset haha
im looking around the whole headset to see if there is a reset spot but havent found anying
try looking for a different shop nearby that has the headphones
and try buying from there
and simply return the ones from bestbuy
ima keep my eyes open for them
thanks best buy and or SS lol
I have a relitavley old rival 3 and when i hold down the right click and move the mouse every now and then it registers as not holding down right click what do i do
Hey guys! This morning i tried to claim the warframe's giveaway code on the steelseries app but it was giving me an error message everytime i tried. Now the giveaway doesnt even appear on the ga tab.
Anyone else with the same problem?
@safe olive So i should try for a refund and buy a new pair?
ye, sorry for the late reply - but thats the best option i believe
ok thank you
My apex pro tkl spacebar is not working
My arctic 9xs wont turn off or connect to my Xbox
@mystic blade you ever got a fix?
can someone help? my arctis 3 mic randomly started picking up my window's audio, despite me not enabling anything. When I play youtube videos, they also play through my mic.
negative
damn
right RIP
how can i open spotify on oled screen?
you can do that???
how
I don't think that's possible-
Wait by what you want, do you mean you want to display spotify stuff on a steelseries GameDAC or Transmitter?
like that
https://techblog.steelseries.com/2019/08/23/new-in-3.15.4.html
Don't click on "download now" but I found this link. I wouldn't use that version of the engine, it may brick your keyboard, idk, but I found this
lets check
oh
i think doesnt work in apex 5
nevermind thanks for trying to help me
Hello anyone can help me
i can
Please, do you know about Nimbus+
I bought the new one Nimbus+
All work well connected to my apple devices
Until i want to charge the device
it is not charge
and then i reach the seller, btw, its official seller steelseries on my country. maybe like authorized seller
after i reach them
they replace the unit with new one
If it doesn't work when you plug it in, there may be a problem with the battery.
Actually apparently with research, they did have a built in app, but a few months after they removed compatibility with spotify, then there was a third party solution but the github user who made the repository discontinued the project, so yea there's nothing you can do anymore sadly
sad:(
before they send to me, they record that proof the controller for replacement can be charged, when its arrived at my home, its cannt charge
hmm
I don't know what to say but you can try to talk one more time
I'm not very familiar with the nimbus device
yeah, also when i googled its no much talkin about nimbus
but there's few dicussion on reddit
hmm:(
Are you sure it isn't already fully charged?
Nope, I checked already
The cable is original I buy from authorized seller apple
Also wall charger is premium brand MFI (made for iPhone)
that's no way issue with the chargers
because i use it daily for mac and iphone and its all normal
Hello, my arctis 7+ is making glitching sounds every now and then, how to I fix this? I just got this last may
@astral gyro try enabling elevated capture to see if your moments issue goes away
I will try, but The problem is that I had clips that had looked good and now they all look like this
@blissful talon You can use Sonar's built in EQ presets for Valorant actually, and raise the peaks if needed
thx
I with into the sound settings GO XLR is set as default and chat mic is set to communication default as it should. Also check the balance all good there. Engine and Sonar seem to be OK. EQ showing anything wrong.
Hello, i have an issue with the arctis pro wireless. Its connected to both bluetooth and the dac wirelessly, the problem is that the audio from my pc that is connected via bluetooth always goes up and down whenever i play something, is it possible to fix that issue.
I have the Arctis 7P+ which I use for gaming and taking calls. I have an issue where they beep and disconnect from the receiver if there is no audio playing. This doesn't happen on my Gaming PC, but it does happen on my Dell XPS laptop. The only way to keep them connected is if I am constantly playing audio. There isn't really a specific timeframe when they disconnect, it's random. Checked the GG application and they set to never switch off. Anyone else had anything similar?
Can Somebody help me with the arctis 9 to fix the sounds for discord and game
Hey! just bought the arctis 5, i switched from the cloud 2's
pretty nice headset but the sound is a bit off putting because im not used to it, i was wondering if i could make it sound more like the cloud 2's via the steelseries GG settings
Can someone help me with the Rival3 mouse, i do not know how to customise the settings for it?
Hi
anyone knows how to put on ear muffs in arctits 5

I have an Apex 7 and I constantly use my wrist rest. I recently noticed it was dirty and looked up an article. It said to use soap but I don't know what kind of soap to use. Help?
most hand/dish soaps should be mild enough to clean it. if you're unsure then test in a small section (like a corner) to see if the soap has any problems
thanks
my nova pro wireless is picking up all noise in my background it wasn't doing this a few GG updates ago anyone else having this issue? or do i need to change any settings im using clear cast ai
Doesn't Work
hi guys, how can I hear both usb1 and usb2 that would be sweet. and it's the reason why I got this headphones
yet AGAIN my mic just stops working
i just got this today
it's a nova pro
wait i think i have an idea
okay via bluetooth done
I hope it works out for you
Does anyone have the similar problem on your GameDAC (of the new nova wired headset), where you can't switch between the chatmix and volume feature? I press the knob and it stays on volume mode, while I want to change my chatmix. Having tried to turn it off by unplugging and replugging, the issue still persists. If I wait a day or 2 it suddenly allows me to switch again. I'd like to know if somebody has an issue similar to this, thanks.
For future people: I narrowed the issue down to fault steelseries gg application. Restart it and the chatmix dial feature should work again.
How can I fix rival 650 scrolwheel?
as in your scroll wheel sometimes skips and stuff?
yes it used to go down when I was scrolling down and now it's barely working
That sounds like an issue to be brought up in a ticket. you may need to get it covered under warranty
I have this mouse for over 2 years so it has no warranty
I have the One in green as default output option but every time i turn off the PC i have the Red One selected. How can i solve?
hey does anyone know how to turn off the sidetone on the wired arctic 1s? i can hear myself talk and no solution seems to work
wired arctis 1 doesn't have sidetone so if you hear yourself it's either some other app on your PC that's playing back audio, or there's some wires crossed in your headset that's causing interference
what app could it be on my pc? do you know any solutions to fix this issue?
it can vary based on PC to PC. try to check everything audio related like the windows settings, your PC audio drivers, any recording/playback options. even checking that you have the headset plugged in correctly can help
already checked all of them but thank you 👍
Hey,
How do I run Clear Cast?
I did not understand.
please does anyone have an arctis pro wired
anyone have good sonar settings for the game The Cycle: Frontier?
hey so i got a artic 7+ wireless and i cant even go to the toilet without it breaking signal why is that

Please Help

What?
Please, I want to get the style of the sword
My rival 3 wireless keeps disconnecting constantly in 2.4g, sometimes it has moments that it doesn't disconnect with some stutters and other times it disconnects for about 10 secs and comes back.
I tried factory resetting, but that didn't do anything(it seemed that it didn't even reset).
I repaired too.
Everything works fine in bluetooth mode
Any help would be appreciated!
discord gamesense thingy also isn't working
I am having trouble with my headset my mic dont work in some sites and games if someone can contact me snd hekp me it will be awsome
I got it working, gamesense too
my microphone is not connecting at all
all other audio sources have outputs I can choose, however the mic doesnt have an option at all
arctis 9 wireless btw
If anyone can reply to this message on how to use the chat mix for the arctis 5 on xbox please let me know
I have no idea how to connect my Steelseries Arctis 1 to my xbox
i bought steelseries qck prism 3xl today. But is there a problem on mine ?
i set blue as zone 1 and pink as zone 2. But colors are mixing
im trying to set like that.
Ok. So I installed SONAR. And the audio is fine. However the mic portion only seems to pick up audio when I have my Sound settings open. Soon as they close or I change screens I lose my mic. I'm using Blue Yeti and let sonar change all default devices as per it's instructions. I'm at a loss...
I'm sorry no one answered this simple question 
Go into SteelSeries GG -> Settings (in GG) -> General, then disable the top toggle talking about sonar (if you don't use it).
If you do use sonar, then you'll want the sonar output to be selected
@warm mountain I noticed what you said in general. what's going on? 
I wanna know if it's possible to use the arctis 5's chat wheel on the xbox 1 s and if it is how
@bright horizon ^^^
Coz my headset lights up I just can't hear nor speak
does anyone know if I could play people in my discord call through my microphone with sonar?
that would require an external app like voicemeeter or something
does your actual application in question pick up audio? sonar doesn't always request microphone usage like it should unless another application does. (which is a glitch I'll report but it shouldn't cause any issues and can be bypassed by sitting in a discord call while adjusting things like eq)
You connect it through a controller or possibly through the back if you have an analog connection somehow
xbox/microsoft requires that any device connected over USB have a special security chip inside to work properly. right now the SS devices that have this chip are all wireless headsets (A1WX, 7X, 9X, Nova Xbox). The Arctis 5 doesn't have this chip so you'll be stuck with just connecting it via 3.5mm to the controller
I have the same mouse pad, sadly that's just how things are.
The mixing is stronger with some combinations more than others though, for example it may mix more with light blue and purple than solid blue and purple or solid red and idk- purple
don't forget about the xbox compatible wired gamedac's 
I do what's going on? (well I did for 2 years before upgrading to nova's)
Rgb not responding properly and stuff
Do you have another computer to test it out with? also have you tried reinstalling GG?
I'll try it on my laptop tommorow
I'm wondering if it's windows 11
@safe olive exchanged my headset setting up now but made sure i can get the headset into pairing mode before i left the store
Nice, told ya there we alternatives hehe
I hope you'll be happy with the new pair
Keep me updated c:
had to drive about 45 miles but worth it.
now real question should i update the firmware? @safe olive
well actully i guess if i want sonar i have too
here goes nothing
Hey guys
Works flawlessly!
Hi!
Trying to get my headset (Arctic Nova Pro wirreless) to work with Streamlabs but it just wont work.
There are so many different versions and i just dont know what to pic. The issue is that it MAY work one time but the time after i need to swop since it stoped working. Not sure its Sonar that messes things up or not. F.ex. 15 min ago i worked with both mic and computer input, but no i dont get any response from the mic in Streamlabs
So from the list above i have 4 SteelSeries alternatives - and right now, non of them work:
- SteelSeries Sonar - Chat
- SteelSeries Sonar - Gaming
- SteelSeries Sonar - Mic
- Arctic Nova Pro headset
Anyone else feel like their dpi has gone up like alot? im on 300 dpi and it feel like im on 800.
i factory reset my pc and its still the same
my windows settings are all normal
idk how to sort it out
its so annoying
making me wanna buy another mouse
Are there updates for the keyboards and necessary? I have this problem for the last 3 month where i can't move smoothly or perform certain combos In the game that I play, This is something new and unusual since i'm top player
Sometimes I press a button to move do something, but the keyboard doesn't do it
What keyboard do you have and how long have you had it?
Apex 5, i had it for 1.5 year
mby dust?
dust build ups in any device over course of time
I do clean my keyboard
tryed factory reset the keyboard?
when sonar is enabled
arctis nova pro headset tab itself isnt working (i tested this myself with my arctis 1 when i still used sonar before, as i use streamlabs aswell)
steelseries sonar mic is your mic so that one needs to be setted up as your mic
chat or gaming should work i think for audio..
@abstract heron
yup just tried it like 20 min ago
this is frustrated
it affect my gameplay so much since its a game when u have to click 3-6 buttons in a row in 1 second
thats why i bought this keyboard cuz u can click up to 20 button in 1 time but i can't even click 6 in a row
yeah Z X C , arrows and space
i press the buttons 20-50 time a match, and i play about 30-50 matches a day
is that consistent over the last year and a half?
Yeah, my previous keyboard was a keyboard that is 7 years old, and it was working better than apex 5 in fighting games
Heya couple of days ago in Mount and blade Bannerlore II My apex m800 keyboard shift, alt and cntrl stopped working and works only 1 in 10 times when i need to use them. In other games they work perfectly fine.
lmaaaaaaaao me too!!!!
i can't even use alt,cntrl shift in bannerlord
but they work fine in any other game
i guess thats the game's settings problem if you have only with that game xD
or with the game itself or smth
they work elsewhere? then that isn't hardware problem
and sometimes i can't switch keyboard language first try
Not really i have same problem
actually that is why
could be they changed the default settings in a update
i seen games do it before so i had to use nvidea to make it all right again-
Could be
i had to change keybinds
But hey, they work only 1 in 10 times as the guy said
Hey guys! My A button in my Apex 7 started chattering. Once in about 30, 40 strokes it gives my double a. It was also skipping, but spraying air fixed that. Do You think it is faulty switch or dirt? Warranty ended 4 months ago
Also, Ive already tested it with another pc, problem persists
Hi guys I have a problem I've been stuck for weeks now looking all over for a solution.
I own a steelseries apex 3 keyboard and some of the keys just stopped working (some work some don't) I really can't tell you why is this happening my best guess is that the steelseries engine pushed a firmware update and my computer just shut off in middle of it.
Now after a bit of headache I have the firmware file but I'm unable to flash it onto the keyboard since I can't get it to DFU mode.
I have looked on factory reset on the steelseries website and followed their instructions to try and reset it or even do something and nothing worked just stayed the same.
I have tried several other methods to make my keyboard go into DFU mode by pressing certain keys and couldn't get it working no matter what.
I'm wondering if it is possible to use QMK to overwrite the firmware on the apex 3 with the old firmware of it (I'm new to QMK and as much as I know I need to get the keyboard to DFU mode in order to flash it) so please if you have any ideas to help me it will be wonders for me.
And I know it might not have PCB that runs QMK, if u have any idea on what it runs do tell me please. (I'm afraid atm to open it and look at the PCB since some of it still works and I don't want to mess anything up without checking with you guys for an alternative way)
By the way I have tested it with a bunch of other devices and tried to install there the engine and everything.
So im 99% sure its not a bios or a system thing
I have a issue that I think it's simple, i bought an arctis pro, downloaded and configured it like the instructions on the official video.
Set the default communication device and default device, but in the chatmix the sound is entirely on the chat side.
Ive recently run into a problem where it sounds like the battery is somewhat loose in my headset, it barley moves but it sound sso much when i have the headset on, it drives me crazy..
If it’s within the same year of purchase, or 2 years if your in the EU, then your best bet is getting it replaced under warranty
Hello, I am currently experiencing a weird problem with my Arctis 5 wired headphones. For some reason it is saying reconnect headset, I have unplugged and plugged in each part of the headset and restarted my pc and it is still not working
anyone know a fix
Any idea why Nova pro wireless no longer shows battery life percentage in engine? It also doesn't show it's connected but doesn't seem to be a change in audio
Have you tried unplugging and replugging it back in? what about restarting your computer? if neither of these work try reinstalling GG 
@bright horizon no in the EU tbh but is there any other way you can think of maybe?
I've heard snagging old engine versions from google does the trick most of the time but I cannot confirm or deny it nor can I verify whether or not an older version of SteelSeries Engine is legit if it's coming from a 3rd party website, but you can try it if you'd like 
Did try to do it
already
doesn't even tell me that I have an update to firmware
tbh I think I need a way to flash the firmware again... so the first step is putting it into DFU mode
But it doesn't work I did it according to the steelseries website
if u have any other way on how to put apex 3 into DFU mode, please do tell
@bright horizon I restarted and reinstalled. I'll try unplugging when I get home
Try removing the non working keys and clean the board under them. Had a similar issue. This fixed it for me.
I did try it today unfortunately it was not the issue
I'm guessing you already wrote a ticket to steelseries support? @ember burrow
yep
What was their reaction?
waiting for an answer and will update if it will be of any use
Ah, alright - steelseries really have a lot of problems with their products huh
Had to buy 3 of the same headset to get the advertised experience
yea fr I got so frustrated on a lot of products of theirs
But it does sometime work and when it works its good
at least from my experience
I'm sure they'll do something and if not, you should be covered by warranty (as long as it isn't already 2 years old)
anyone have good sonar settings for the game The Cycle: Frontier?
Technically it is a malfunction on their part
Unless their terms of use clearly state that updates can render the product useless
im mean it is no doubt, but you never know maybe they will be fair with me and send me a replacement for me
Till the answer I get I bought a new keyboard lol Lenovo one cause it was crazy cheap I need something to type with lol
Welp not sure if this goes here but i installed the SteelSeries GG app with no issue, went to giveaways and tried to use the blade and soul code. the issue is the code is to long lol it does not fully fit in the slot on the redeem code slot for ncsoft
am i missing some thing or?
I've heard another user complain of this issue. @olive igloo did you figure this out? I remember you talking about it in general yesterday.
Hello, my arctis 7+ is making glitching sounds every now and then, how to I fix this? I just got this last may
please I need help im panicking
Have you tried restarting it and maybe even restarting the device it's connected to? If it still persists are you able to use it with another device to see if it still happens with that device? worse comes to worse it's still covered under warranty becasue as you mentioned, it hasn't been a year yet (or 2 years for the eu).
should I try to factory reset it?
I already tried restarting it
and using different ports in my pc
sure the hole should be right here if your headset has one. use a pin or whatever's small enough and hold it down for 3 to 5 seconds
also tried restarting my pc and updating the lastest software
thats on the right or left?
should be on the left from my understanding but if the image is flipped then I'm wrong. I think the left though
My headset is no longer working properly but it’s past the return eligibility is there anything I can do?
What headset is it and what's wrong with it 
Yep 
It’s the arctis pro and I’ve only had it for a couple months and now the audio is very crackly and there’s a constant buzzing noise
Well first of all, unless your region/country has a very specific exemption, the warranty lasts a year (2 years for countries in the EU), just to mention.
but, do you use the dac or transmitter at all? which one do you even have, the Pro wireless, wired, and if wired did you get it with a GameDAC 
I have the wired with game dac and I tried to look on the steelseries website to look about returning it but it said it was not eligible, I didn’t see anything about a warranty tho
Am I am blind or is there no sidetone feature in Sonar?
nah, the codes are not correct as i can see ncsoft accepts 13 or 20 digit codes, the ones provided are 25 digit
That is only a feature provided by the maker of your product, whether it's steelseries with steelseries products or someone like HyperX or Razer. If you have steelseries headphones you'll find that in engine. Otherwise it's hard to implement software level sidetone as there will be delay.
Thanks, thought Sonar, as part of SS could support it for my the Arctis Nova
Oh yea for the nova's you go into engine to enable that stuff. Sonar is software level eq and things like that, I have nova's and still use sonar but engine will have a decent bit of other things
Is there anyway to have media controls on the Nova Pro Wirless? Like can I assign the wheel click to pause/play?
my headset microphone is broken i have a steelseries arctis 9x
Ive recently run into a problem where it sounds like the battery is somewhat loose in my headset, it barley moves but it sound sso much when i have the headset on, it drives me crazy..
Hello I just got the nova pro wireless and downloaded sonar. when I did this it said my headset firmware needed to be updated. I followed the prompted instructions and finished the update, but now my headset will not turn on. does anyone have a solution for this?
Hi Jordan, it's possible your default audio devices aren't set to sonar. Use steelseries.gg, in the sonar tab and it should give you a prompt to set it as default. Then, set your headset in the mixer tab of sonar of the tool above
hey i downloaded moments engine and the website still doesnt let me go to the gensin impact givesway page
steelseries support email them
I'm actually having a mild problem. I'm hoping to increase the volume of my sidetone; it's already set on high. I have an Arctis nova pro wired. Drivers are up to date, so is firmware.
I used to have a pair of steelseries whose sidetone was high enough, but this model's sidetone is a bit too low.
It is set to default the headset itself wont power on now. I think the firmware update bricked my headset. the headset was working before the firmware update.
yeah I restarted
😦 Afraid I don't know much more than this. Hope you can find a solution. You could try a factory reset of the dac maybe
okay thanks for your help
Hi guys, today I've been suspended indefinitely from the CrossFire game I've been playing for 10 years. I have been using Steelseries mouse for the last 1 year. The game detected the Steelseries GG application as 3rd party software. I've reported the situation to the game's support team, but they are sure of their decision. Can you help me with this?
Hello, i need help, im planning to buy a arctis headset, but i dont understand with one is better
depends on your budget, but the new Arctis Nova Pro wireless are the top of the line
ok, which one is better arctis 7+ or arctis 9?
The Arctis 7+ has both wired and wireless support by using the USB-C dongle. The Arctis 9 is a dual wireless devices meaning it can be used with its USB-A transmitter and Bluetooth at the same time. The 7+ is the newer of these two devices and also has better battery life.
Also, something change if is like arctis 9x or arctis 7p+?
The X and P is only of Xbox and Playstation right?
Or it can be bettter? like the arctis 9x better
I'm not an expert, but googling X vs Y usually gets you the answer pretty quick
My arctis pro wired cracked :/
Anyone have any ideas where I can source a new plastic earpiece? I literally do this sort of work for a living and it would be an easy fix if I got that.
I don't have a 3d printer or super tech savvy when it comes to 3d modeling.
So I can't really do that easily
All the ebay ones r broken the same side
Hi guys. GG software is stuck on the loading screen (mac). Does anybody have the same issue?
You'll probably have to reinstall GG if restarting your computer doesn't work
Is there anyway to install a previous version of Steelseires GG?
I literally do not understand why, the steelseries sonar refuses to work half of the time.
With this new crappy update
I have an issue with the SteelSeries GG Sonar, when I configure everything it shows that there is game audio being sent into the app on the mixer but there is nothing coming out of the output. any suggestions ?
When I test audio nothing happens, but chat seems to be working when I test the chat equalizer, it outputs audio to the device, just not the game.

Sup guys I just bought a Steel series arctic 1 and I have no in game sound
literally gogoled how to fix it tried evrerything still the same
try to turn your volume up @plain warren

i restarted my pc
disabled stereo mix
updated audio drivers
unplug-replug
could it be discord
What's going on exactly? 
go into Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound
Then try to speak in the microphone, making sure it's unmuted, and check if it's being outputted to any of the devices under the "Recording" tab of the sound settings. It should look something like what i sent but ofc the names of things completely different.
It works but discord messing it up. Either it’s working during a call but no in game sound or vice versa no sound in the discord call but in game sound
My ChatMix dial isnt working anymore for sonar and it's stuck on the full game audio
literally cant hear anything in discord now

Hey guys.
I have the Artics wireless pro and using your new GG software with the sonar settings. Shizzzz the sound is awesome but i hear like a metallic sound when playing with other people - not all but most off them. Also the speak from my friends is very loud.

English only guys :)
I just replied to Hydagur not to insult ... he had put "sh**** support"
So ... Impossible to know how macros work on an APEX 3 TKL keyboard, the guide is not very explicit and no video is clear enough ... do you have a clearer tutorial?
i also found https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/comments/j0xjak/scroll_wheel_on_apex_5_not_working/ ohter poeple with the same issues any fixes or sould i return my keyboard?
@here
Hi guys , can anyone help me with an issue? My artic 9 mute button wont stick, so it's perma muted , any way to deactivate this button?
why is the audio so choppy when i have sonar audio on
Currently using Arctis Pro headset - just recently the audio is cutting out for around 10-15 seconds and usually comes back, however recently it doesn't come back & the headset is shown as "Not connected" in the app - following the FAQ doesn't seem to help and the issue still persists. Sometimes the headset isn't even shown in the Device manager to uninstall the drivers
I have exactly the same issue here 😦
Contact steelseries support through a ticket and request a return for your money and buy the same keyboard with that returned money
or you can get a higher up keyboard, or a keyboard from a different company. I mean all this aside basically contact steelseries support and talk with them about it if the scroll wheel has issues and mention you’ve tried everything. You can factory reset the keyboard under settings if you can get there, but if you can’t then you’d be out of luck and relying on steelseries tickets here sadly (oh also mention how you got it less than a month ago)
Though those steps above (control panel -> hardware and sound -> sound, then under recording), note what audio device is making noise when you blow into the microphone, if any audio device is, right click on it and make sure that audio device is set to the default device and communication device. If that doesn’t work then go into discord’s user settings -> voice and video, and make sure for input, that audio device in specific is selected.
Oh so this is not just an issue with your microphone- make sure for playback you test things out in there too and assign whatever game and discord audio plays through as the default device and default communication device
And as a followup to that; make sure you go to properties of the device and into advanced and make sure "give exclude access.." is unticked. Otherwise your different apps will basically fight for priority and will give issues
Can anyone help me with SteelSeries moments? I recently switched my CSGO rez to 4:3, and the clips are just green/black screen
Shoot sorry pressed send before typing 💀
I would think that’d cause issues with some steelseries things but yes this would be a good idea in theory. If it causes issues though I’d check it again. Interesting point 
I mean it never really does anything good
The upper one "allow apps to take control of this device" should be enough
The bottom one is simply if you ONLY want to use the device for ONE priority app
But if you use games with ingame voice chat, discord and more things that use mic, then it poses problems
Oh yea looking at the working of the box I can agree have it unchecked. Still if it causes issues re-check it but no app should be more exclusive than others so unchecking is your best bet. And you do make fair points. Imma try that myself 👀
Try restarting your computer if you haven’t already. 
*wording (not working, smh me
)
is there ever going to be steelseries engine for linux
i got it like a 4 days ago
No but you can probably use a bottle if properly configured 👀or just any virtualization or conversion software like wine
Ok well wow I didn’t mean to say that, maybe, but for now I’ve never heard any talk of it
That’s better wording 
Then contact steelseries through a ticket and if you got it directly from steelseries’ website they’ll either give you your money back or give you a new one not on warranty (as it’ll hopefully be presumed to be a manufacture defect). If you got it from a 3rd party seller you’ll have to go to that third party seller and ask for a replacement
could you maby send a link to the support tab thanks!!
https://support.steelseries.com/hc/en-us
And click on the black thing in the screenshot I sent. It’ll give you a chat bot, blow your way through the questions till it gives you the ticket forum. It shouldn’t take much
is anyone else having sound distortion issues with the nova pros?
i never had this on any other headset before and i ordered a replacement from amazon which has been the same
its like amazone
also i cant balance the left and right channels for some reason because i usually have the power for the right earcup turned down but cant do it on these
its so weird
windows settings wont even allow me to turn it down
since that’s a third party seller you may actually be forced to go through with their policies and stuff. I think you’d need to contact them about it instead but you can still contact steelseries if you’d like to confirm
ye is see they also have a returning rule so ye i can thanks for helping out:https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/b/glorious-pc-gaming-race/599511036/

hi can someone help fix my steelseries recorder
it doesnt work
i have used it before and it worked but now i it has stoped
Hello, having issues with my Arctis 9, its at full charge (I even removed the battery and volt checked it) and when I try turning it on it flashes red for a sec after holding for 5 sec. I tried resetting it and the only time it turns on is if its connected to my pc and only Bluetooth works, pairing mode will NOT work automatically or manually. iv sent a Ticket already, just hoping someone else has found a solution so I don't have to wait a couple days for a response.
hiya all i know this is supposed to be in a ticket but my arctis 9x headset has been picking up lots of background noise and was wondering if anyone had any tips to fix that
why does my sonar detect discord as game not chat
Do anyone have this issue?
It much louder on the right ear cup than the left ear cup
I got it from the first day it launched from Bestbuy
But barely use it as i like using speaker more, only need if it super late at night
It start making this noise after a month
Has it been a month yet? Because you may be able to take them back and get a replacement 👀👀without affecting the 1 time warranty they get
Yeah it’s like 1 and half month now 😦
I literally got it the day it launched lol
Maybe RMA it?
Don’t know how Steelseries experience in RMA
Since you got it from best buy as far as I know they’ll just redirect you to Best Buy and their warranty policy afaik
Ohh so they can’t RMA themselves?
As far as I know no. You can make a ticket with steelseries though if you’d like and ask if they’ll replace them but don’t be surprised if they direct you to Best Buy 
Do i have to buy bestbuy warranty with it?
I usually know these item usually have 1 year warranty included
did the hide the submit ticket elsewhere?
any1
i can't find it in their webpage
I believe Best Buy has a universal 1 year warranty, or it applies at least to most products.
I came back an hour later and sonar is still stuck on starting on a fresh install of GG. Never used sonar before. I have my headphones plugged in as well and audio enhancements disabled.... I don't know what to do. I have no idea what is causing this and I've tried reinstalling GG. I don't have spatial audio enabled from dts or dolby, and I have tried disabling and reenabling sonar in settings only to get to the setup wizard and seeing that it isn't picking up any of my audio devices. Any help here? I am running Win 11 btw.

@languid stream In that case
try running the installer, as well as the app (once it has installed again) in admin mode
make sure you right click and launch it as admin
I have ran the installer with admin perms and I am still having this issue
the installer, or the installed app?
I the installer for GG when I redownloaded it and I set the properties for the GG exe to run as admin on launch as well as the sonar exe and still nothing
oh damn, i didn't know that
Bestbuy always ask if i want to buy warranty
but i usually think don't need
I'm updating rn to see what happens to me 
didn't know they offer 1 year warranty on most product
my last attempt to maybe get it working is to clear my %temp% folder after I uninstall GG and reinstall again? I don't have any other virtual audio software or anything that should prevent the app from not running properly
I think it's more so of an extended two year warranty they offer. I bought it on my old arctis pro's, may take advantage of it and replace my broken ones and give the new, "fixed" pair to a friend 👀 but yea as far as I read up on I'm correct
do you think they let me buy a warranty now lmao
Hmmmm they may let you get it after 2 months of the purchase but I think it's only one month
yea I got 21.0 can't find an older installer that has worked for me yet either cuz I tried 19.1 as well
21.0 came out this morning
thanks for the help, last question, do Bestbuy jsut replace you the new one right away or i have to wait for them to check like a few weeks
i can go to bestbuy store rn
and I discovered sonar this morning as well after getting frustrated with voicemeeter so I'm really hoping this works
Yea they replace it lol. I used to get my old headphones covered by them all the time. They just take your old pair and you get a new one same day, they just hand it to you
lmao, i hope they let me buy the warranty
@bright horizon r u going to try the new GG version and see if u are getting a similar issue with sonar?
cuz I'm hoping it's not just me
if there's a way to manually install the audio drivers that sonar needs to operate using cabinet files in the appdata or inf. to install drivers I will try
it infinitely loaded at first but after closing out of it and reopening from this thing (screenshot) it worked perfectly fine 
I mean they should replace it without the bought warranty, also you get as many warranties as you want (from my experience) if you re-buy the warranty after using it (with best buy, in specifically)
ok, I will try my method of clearing my %temp% folder and reinstalling and potentially grabbing the sonar divers from the app data manually, thanks for the help though👍
Hmmm I do have a video tutorial on how to reinstall it deleting ALL of the directories that store steelseries' stuff but that'd probably be boring to you lmao. try clearing as much stuff as possible in the temp folder, local locallow and roaming folder
right on, I am clearing all steelseries data I can find from appdata roaming and locallow before reinstalling as well thanks👍
I'll let u know if i can get it working and what the fix was too
in logs it says i'm missing
when it attempts to install the sonar device drivers
I mean I can pass you that file if I have it if you need. Idfk lol
haha same idk either
Hmmm I don't know where that file is located actually so I can't even pass that to you- -asdlkfj
steelseries GG didn't seem to leave a folder in any of my appdata directories as residual files after uninstall but the steelseries folder in programfiles remained so I deleted that. Is their any other directories or leftover REG keys that I could delete as well?
My lenovo legion 5 has steelseries nahimic audio as a driver and I also uninstalled the companion app for that as well as the nahimic software and driver as well
"C:\Users\Joshu\AppData\Local\Temp"
"C:\Users\Joshu\AppData\Roaming\steelseries-engine-3-client" (and right next to it, "steelseries-gg-client")
These are all the "secret" directories they hide stuff in to my knowledge
I don't think there are any registry keys
but I haven't kept track of that, normally files are enough in my experience
well actually there probably are reg keys, but they probably wouldn't affect much
tru that. I don't want to mess with regedit if I don't have to for sure
I mean hmmm there are reg keys set that you can find by searching for it, but yea idk what they do and I wouldn't mess with them 
yea I don't have those keys so they definitely either never got added or were removed after uninstall
@bright horizon turned off bitdefeder av and reinstalled it and still nothing. is there a log file I can send to devs?
my last idea is to try installing it while in safe mode and if that doesn't work then I'm just cursed lol
Actually yes lemme find where they keep the log file 👀 I think it's somewhere in appdata
"C:\ProgramData\SteelSeries\GG\Logs" this should be a log folder but there may be another one dedicated to sonar, idk you can take a look in here though
oh ok thx
"C:\ProgramData\SteelSeries\AudioSync\log.txt" There's also this one
