Mate, OMG literally the best video out there! Hands down, give this a watch. That last tip of moving your browser, in my case brave, to media... perfection!! Genuine a great video!! I used it for the Arctis Nova Pro.
Thank you sir. Helped me a lot.
thank god for your existence man you helped alot
My go to video for Sonar settings...awesome job mate.
What about your engine settings? And what are your Ps5 voice and in game settings?
Awesome video!
Ty bro
Thx helped a lot! What about best settings in discord with Artics Nova Pro Wireless?
What’s your most recommended eq for siege? I use iems
This works perfectly
In addition to these awesome settings, what are your EQ settings for dolby access app? TIA
try replicating the settings in dolby seemed to work great for me
would this work for in ear monitor + hyperx solo cast microphone?
Should I let the configruation default if I want it for everything or is it just for a specific game?(right now my configruation for game is default)
yes this does work if it detects as a headset or mic but you know what im trying to say configuration for default is like for everything if you put it on default like discord is a good example you could selected which one to put
I don’t really have any apps to do the last bit of this video, what do I do?
thanks alot, alot of help
Would this work with an audio interface and a Shure SM7B?
The answer is yes, I have the Komplete and also GoXLR interface and it works perfectly fine. Just make sure the outputs are going to where you want it. It will not do it for you, if it does not work then it is a user issue not a software/hardware issue.
I also daisy chain my Schiit DAC/AMP into my interface and it still works.
Hi, i'm having some trouble connecting my steelseries arctis 1 wired headsets mic and Idk what to do, can you help?
When I give my voice to the microphone over the sonar, my voice is very distorted and interrupted. However, when I choose the headset itself instead of Sonar, my voice goes fine. In short, my voice goes distorted through Sonar. Do you know why?
Hi, awesome video! i do have one question, i have been strugling with hearing my teammates cuz of how loud the game is even tho i coppied everything the exact same way? And how loud do you set your headset with like the scroll wheel?
no clue if this would help or this is a problem any more but maybe try during the bass down and turning the voice selection up. Id assume that would increase their voices but i also dont know i just saw a ad for this and trying it out. My speakers sound crazy good now though
Set your computer's volume the same as the mixer volume and then i would recommend turning down the ambience and special effects in your games audio settings a bit. Sonar needs some work because it's not exactly the best for ambience, strong electronic sounds, and loud acoustics if not the spatial sound makes it sound worse and too harsh but i've more or less fixed it by making the volume levels the same but it still may happen. But if your game already has it's own spatial and dynamic audio turn spatial settings off.
For the configuration you're using for your game sound add some more muffle to the bass using the box under the equalizer too if needed that's what that box is for, and the dot in the equalizer is your overall bass level so play around with it a little bit until you get it right. I've created my own configuration for general use because my new headphones they went way overboard with the sound and bass muffle, and the mid and high levels are wrong but can still produce amazing sound using sonar.
But even after fixing it using sonar i still may have to adjust the overall bass level from -2.0 to -4.0 db because sonar boosts the sound so well at hd levels it's pretty powerful, the higher the number the more bass you add and goes up to 12.0 db which is honestly way more than enough you won't ever adjust it that high up. Even on a cheap pair of headphones though i've found it sounded the same and i definitely needed to lower the bass level in sonar, be careful not to change the frequency or won't sound right i've just kept it the way it's already set.
Then once you've got your sound levels correct you should be able to hear your teammates microphones a lot better.
Really dope Video thanks! Question. I am having a problem with my headset. Every time I play a Fortnite match and the match ends The game audio is removed from my headset and goes to my PC speakers. In order to fix this I have to switch me headset audio between Aux and media. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
go to your settings for steelseries gg and look for the setting that automatically switches your input/output and try messing with that. or if your not using aux you can just disable it via device manager.
what do i do adding elgato wave link wiht my elgato wave 3 and my elgato 4k 60 pro mk2 i use the steel series nova pro wireless
thank you
o7
In software settings for the drop downs, i only see arctis nova pro wireless. i no longer see the "chat" or gaming option
I have the Arctis Nova 7x headset and the arena 7 but when I go and look under game I don't have a headset game or headset chat. What am I doing wrong?
Dont they have a mono feature for the mic?
I have the steel series 9x. With this the audio is fine the mic won't work what so ever i have looked at every option made sure it wa tabbed correctly ans nothing
is this sound on steelseries's mic? and what is your recording program name ?
yes and Streamlabs OBS
is this win 11? i still use win10 and don't see any "Apps to be routed" on my Sonar app
Are these settings good for arctis nova 1?
Hi can anyone figure out why the Arctis Nova 3 surround sound is very not accurate and the direction of the sound are all over the place
whenever I talk to my people in the game via Discord, he is silent during the time when people are talking and it doesn't matter who is playing the game with me. But as soon as nobody says anything, I hear the in-game sound. Is this due to the headset or Windows?
Thanks in advance
Great explanation but when i changed my google chrome to media tab it didn't sound as nice or clear as the game tab. Any suggestions? You just went real low and the bass in your music went super mellow.
Turn your gain up on the media tab
Learning by making own configuration you have to set the bass lower for sonar it's really intense, for my new headphones that has way too much bass and muffle -2.0 db to -4.0 db works well, i would start there and see if it's enough for your headphones. Meanwhile the gain needs to be brought up in the mid range, upper mids, and highs.
For media the mid range and upper mids i those set to 8.0 db and highs 6.0 db which is perfect levels, for the games configuration i only changed the gain on the mid range. The bass box under the equalizer is for adjusting how much muffle you want but you don't need much i have that set to 3.0 db.
Honestly whoever put together any of the configurations already there set the higher levels way too low it's as bad as my new headphones lol even on the gaming configurations the same, although the path of exile one is almost perfect. Sonar isn't perfect on the volume levels either so i have to turn some things down in a game like ambience and special effects or turn down a video a bit.
With setting up i dont got all those options only the headset (steelseries arctis nova pro)
mine does not have the Steelserie Chat in the Sonar option only it has Headphones Arctis Headphones for game and for chat.
So here’s my question. I’m on Xbox so If I have to flip my dongle setting to usb to test the settings in sonar. When I flip it back to Xbox will those same settings be there
Did you get the answer ?
dayum my music and films sound like im in a movie theather
i have stelseriers artic 3 and still nothing good hearing enemies
My headset doesnt show up on the engine, using wired arctis pro novas.
These settings made lighter noises hurt a lot, like Discord's notifications.
what do i set my default audio to afterwards on windows?
my steel series headset is so silent now before and after i used this
I can hear my self in my headset how to fix that i got a arctis pro +gamedac
What do you set the default media player on Windows to? Game? If so, that isn't ideal is it?
lol I wanna know that too. I searched on youtube for answer but no result.
I just bought them today and Im stuck if I dont get an answer for that. 😅😅
I have Headphones Nova 7 / and Sonar Gaming etc...which one to use for Sound Output?
So what about the settings in Engine?
Do you know why does my spatial audio, when looking straight at something, the audio comes from right ear? Like the position is wrong, how di i fix that?
Maybe your audio default setting for games is not "steelseries sonar-gaming". ? Or maybe your your device is not compatible with sonar
My headset doesn't show up on the software setup part for some reason, it only says Headphones RealTek (R) Audio. I own the Arctis 7P+ Set up your settings though so gonna try them out tomorrow.
Says the exact same for me i have the arctis nova pros
That's how it usually works it'll play the sound through your computer's audio device which is the one with realtek audio, especially for laptops it's just going to say speakers realtek audio. Even if the sound is playing through one of sonar's mixer channels it's still playing through your computer's audio device and any headphones you connect is using it too. So you don't need to worry about that just use the mixer channels in sonar.
I have my headset plugged into a desk mic. For some reason, sonar doesn't seem to understand that so when I use sonar I get no audio at all. I'd love to use it for gaming but I can't find a way to fix it.
how you keep that setting for speakers? because after im restarting pc, the device change to my arctis 5 again
The way it works is which apps you use in which mixer channels, so google chrome in media channel and your games in the games channel. To do this you drag the app from one channel to the other under each mixer channel, although you have to close the sonar window then reopen it before you do it because it's a bit buggy. Although you have to be playing some sort of sound through it for the app to appear under the channels.
Sonar also seems to like using the gaming output as the main default in windows sound settings it just seems to be set that way to do that probably because it's mainly intended for gamers, but it doesn't effect anything because it's mainly the mixer channels you're using. My computer only uses sonars audio though while sonar is turned on in the steelseries gg settings, i would have to turn it off in order to get my computer's original audio back.
For devices i think you'll probably have to manually switch it to speakers in one of the mixer channels because you have to manually change which mixer channels your apps use. Whatever apps or games you want to play through your speakers drag it to there.
it keeps putting my rainbow six siege under media, i cant get it to go to game
I am new to this sonar.. how do you save the audio settings to the DAC for Steel Series Arctic pro.. I play on ps5
Sadly you can’t use a custom solar eq on ps5. If you want to use sonar you have to use one of the preset audio eq after updating the game dac.
@@jaimiebanks yeah I figured that out. Which is why they need a an app where we can save the EQ to it and save to the DAC
I have no sound on my turtlebeach headset when using this software
for valorant i cant hear any footsteps. gun shooting sound ttoo loud
very good video, but i will say your settings for media are kinda bad at least with my iems (specifically turning on spatial audio sucks), they wash out the audio really bad
when im using sonar i cant move R6 from media to game where it should be so it dosen't sound right and i have fully updated not sure what to do.
edit:(I just reinstalled and its working)
do it in game.
I just want the function to autoswitch back to Speakers (default) when I turn off my headphones, I don't get why it can't just do that automatically. That's all I need, but now I installed Steelseries GG and I have no idea what to do with it, it just seems like bloat. I'm skeptical of installing Sonar as it may be more bloat that I don't even need. Already regret installing GG on my brand new PC, even Windows updated installed something by itself called Steelseries extension... ugh I don't even understand what these apps are for, I just want to use my headset man.
Same. It gets annoying and I want to uninstall the software because of this.
btw I found a way to easily switch between audio outputs, if you need it @@selw0nk
im afraid now if i uninstall the software it will f things up more, and maybe not even go away fully. maybe just leave it. it has like one function, which is battery warning... at least that's useful.
I dont know if Sonar is actually installed as part of it or what, because it says create account to get started with Sonar, and I havent done that. At the same time in my audio devices there are many things called "Sonar". @@selw0nk
you dont NEED the software to use the headset. the software just make it so you can customize the sound of the headset. In some situations like in Warzone you want to hear footsteps louder. the Sonar Software allows you to change the sound to make footsteps easier to hear. believe it or not it was WAY harder to do this before Sonar came out.
Settings > Sonar - Backup Device Switch > Automatic Backup Device Switch. Turn this on, drag and drop the devices in order of preference under 'Device Priority List'.
For me there is a big problem when using sonar mic option. I don't know why but half of the words it is just cutting off. Not only when using your settings, but in general when using Sonar for the microphone :/
Did you fix the microphone ?
If I put these settings on my laptop and then use the headset and mic on my ps5 will the headset settings be saved onto it still
Yes
I get no audio, tried everything, the only thing that works is turning sonar off, which defeats the purpose
Does anyone use Streamdeck+ with sonar?
Can you for the love of god make a Rainbow six siege settings
not sure how the to rout my apps! some app like google chrome is not showing even though its on
Check description I have an older video showing another way to do device to app routing.
is it a good settings for R6?
did you find good settings for r6?
@@xrezqn5973 I use the r6 by ubisoft preset with spatial audio and volume boost, it's perfect for me
The software has a r6 setting in it.
Why wouldn’t distance 100 be better? Wouldn’t you hear farther away?
its how far the sound is displayed not how far you can hear
will this work for arctis nova 7p wireless?
yes
Late reply but where should I put my discord chat in the mixer? Probably mic right?
Chat and mic (there will be discord icons under both) chat is were you hear your discord (and mic is for talking to discord). If your discord is set to game, you can still hear your friends but the chatmix won’t work
Do these settings lock in to the actual headset? I play on console
well no, this is a pc app, headphones don't have onboard saves
The Engine is geared more for on the go or Console gaming, allowing you save changes to your headset. Sonar is geared towards PC Gaming. So I game on both PC and PS5. So when I am on PC, I have sonar engaged. .then when I transfer to my PS5, I open up GG software and configure changes in "Engine" and that will stay with the headset, so then I hook it to my ps5 and good to go. This video here explains it - th-cam.com/video/-FILxDJtR1U/w-d-xo.html
my 'gaming' setting on sonar doesnt work at all, no audio is coming from it
it a virtual speaker, it takes over ur existing speaker so make sure u have the correct speaker selected for it to mimic.
@@demothhow?
@@demothdo you have discord so can explain?
Control panel search sound and set it up correctly. Sometimes you might have to have both the headset and sonar headset enabled
@@rolandonunez7238 nah it works now
does it work for eft ? escape from tarkov ?
Just follow the guide for EFT I explain how to adjust for different games.
Where is that guide?
@@mitchje2492that’s what I wanna know too
First things first...
Rest in peace, Uncle Phil!
for real!
FOR REAL!!
My mic is not working at all I’m so confused lol
Are these good for arctic 5 or should I use ur old video on it
these settings 100%
my app doesn't look like yours. it only has the home, engine and giveaways tabs...
Will this setting decent for cs2? Not a cod player.
just follow the instruction for the video but instead of selecting the preset for Warzone 2.0 you select the preset for CS2
@@MyGamester YO i watched the full video. it's just the cs2 preset was bullshit so I wonder if the warzone preset will work
"Volume Boost, this is where the magic happens". Uhm no. That is a simple volume booster. This is what you would use if you have everything set to max volume but you still find your headphones/speakers too soft. Don't use it unless you have to.
What do I put my default headphones as on windows sound settings
if anyone plays rust r these good for rust?
Just buy a pair of sony. philips, or panasonic headphones you can't go wrong with them, sonar will boost the sound of any kind of headphones. I haven't heard good things about steelseries gear to be honest.
Is this for warzone 3?
yes sir
Just the gaming tab is for wz3 right boss?
I can't even use sonar. It just infinitely loads and there's no online solutions
same. Any solution on that yet?
@@firdausrazak9805 nah 💀
either fully reinstall it, or just force quit it from task manager and relaunch it, sometimes it gets stuck its very very rare, but first option works you dont even need to uninstall, just run the installer again and its all good.
@@Uh_Blanc ive tried both methods, still doesnt work.
the mic sounds so bad and quite why?
For console it’s better to change gamedac around not this
eveything is uper quiet now wtf
valorant??
Same setting just Valorant preset
ps5 micro sonar
This only works if your on pc if you on console it’s pointless
It works on console
@@prey390 explain to me then
@@Shaillz-you go on your computer download the software connect your headset do whatever eq you want unplug it and connect to your console and start playing
@@Shaillz-I did the siege eq and updated my artics nova 7p now i hear everything
@@prey390 imma try when i get home I think my arctic headset does work for it i
