Alpha 2 wireless sound recommendation

[fresh hare]

I just got an alpha 2 wireless headset and updated it using ngenuity which seems to have put it at some neutral level all across. I was wondering if anyone here has found/made a profile setting to make the most out of this headset.

Hey I have an issue with the headset where the volume slider in Windows 11 doesn't work with it. Do you have the same problem?

[fresh hare]

I do. I can only change the sound via the dongle/the headset itself

[opal trench]

Dang thats annoying. I also couldn't change the audio with the volume buttons on my keyboard. Only the knob from the adapter and the headset wheel works.

[fresh hare]

Yeah...

[opal trench]

are you using ngenuity beta thats the right one. the software is too buggy for my taste tho

[fresh hare]

Yeah I am. I also looked up some sound profiles on reddit.
But I feel like things sounds more muted even when I disable the spatial sounds. And some songs seem raspier at times.

[opal trench]

I recommend you get Dolby Atmos for it to sound better

[fresh hare]

Does it come with any pre settings?

Or do you have any recommendated settings too?

[opal trench]

I use this preset

[stiff spoke]

Use this one guys 🙂

[fresh hare]

Imma get dolby access and try

Thanks folks

[stiff spoke]

You will see a huge difference trust me 🤣

[fresh hare]

Which setting do I use for the headset now then?

XD

So many options

[stiff spoke]

Just don't use NGENUITY

[fresh hare]

It asks if I want to use dolby access effects on opening the app

Do I?

[stiff spoke]

which app ? NGENUITY ?

[fresh hare]

Access

[stiff spoke]

can you screen?

[stiff spoke]

check this

do you see this ?

if not, check my others screen

[stiff spoke]

ok configure then

after configuration, check your settings with my others screen

[fresh hare]

It says it cant configure and I need to look for "spatial sound" tab, Im trying to look for it atm

[stiff spoke]

yep

it's my others screen

this one

[fresh hare]

Can only find the ngeunity ones

[stiff spoke]

this one

set it by default

right click -> priorities

and check my screen captures ^^

I have disable every NGENUITY things sound really bad vs Dolby access

[fresh hare]

Ok now it says ready to use on dolby atmos!

Ok so now I can try your settings

Ill brb

[stiff spoke]

ok ok ^^

[fresh hare]

Do you have numerical values on the slider btw?

XD

[stiff spoke]

nop xD

You have to try to have the same thing as me haha

[fresh hare]

Ok Imma use my phone to compare

Or mb. try chatgpt to extrapolate values from image XD

[stiff spoke]

I have used chatgpt to compare too xD

It was from a customer on reddit

and it sound really good

https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/1p9in8a/comment/nre2mq7/

from this post ^^

[fresh hare]

Imma try!

Omg this thing doesnt have numbers on it when I slide

No wonder u struggle

[stiff spoke]

yes no number

You have to put my capture and your dolby access and ask to chatgpt to compare both images

and he will try to adjust with you

[fresh hare]

Does this sound work good in regular no surround mode too btw?

[stiff spoke]

I prefer with surround

but you can disable surround as your taste

[fresh hare]

Imma need some time to fine tune this. Ill pop by later once I think Ive got it. Will ping u then if u dont mind. Thank you again

[fresh hare]

Heres y version

I think its somewhat accurate?

Hard to tell really

[fresh hare]

Ok now it works. Imma try it out for a while. Might take some time getting used to it, but Ill try. @stiff spoke Do you use only this one for everything or do you have different settings for gaming/Music f. ex

[stiff spoke]

Only this one for all

[fresh hare]

👍 Thankyu!

How do you do surround tho, I dont rly sense much of a difference turning the slider on and off

[stiff spoke]

I can hear the difference with or without with slider on/off

[fresh hare]

Do you have atmos too or just access?

[stiff spoke]

Access
