I simultaneously have my Arctis Nova Pro connected to my PC through the base station and to my phone via Bluetooth. When I get a call, I see an option to answer it on the base station, or I can answer on my phone. But I don't have an option to end the call on the base station, and I don't know what button to hit on the headset to end the call. So, I have to end the call on the phone, which isn't always the easiest thing to do.

I was having issues with Moments not recording my games around three months ago, since my newest clips is that old, not even a desktop recording was possible, but I stopped playing games for which I would have much use of clips of my moments so I just brushed it off as a temporary issue. Now I was starting it again and noticed that I WAS able to record my desktop shortly after booting my PC, but it gets shut down after a few seconds and won't let me record again, so it's likely a background process that prevents it from recording... Anyone had a similar issue?

So I am hoping someone here might be able to help me out. When I first replaced my Arctis 7 headphones with the Nova 7 (Gen 1) head phones, I had a heck of a time getting the chat mix to work. Went back and forth with Support, sending screen caps, etc. - not success. One day an update arrived and lo and behold, I could make Chat Mix work with the SW.

I believe a recent Sonar update has broken Chat Mix again. Same settings as before, but can not make the Chat Mix wheel do anything.

Teams (Chat app) set to Steelseries Sonar - Chat (virtual device)

Windows set to Steelseries Sonar - Game (virtual device) (NOTE: I used to set this to

In GG Sonar, GAME has "Headset (Arctis Nova 7)" set as device; CHAT is set to "Headset (Arctis Nova 7)"; MIC is set to "Microphone (Arctis Nova 7)"; MEDIA is set to "Speakers (Realtek Audio)

Other Notes:

- I used to be able to alter the Chatmix using the slider in the app, but now it says I need to do it with the Hardware wheel - but that is now unresponsive

- Teams gets listed under CHAT and MIC in GG Sonar; my Game (whatever I am playing) gets listed under GAME

I can hear both the Game audio and my chat session, but I can not dial audio levels between them anymore. I never had this with my original Arctis 7 headset - it was set the audio device in Windows and the Chat app, and everything worked perfectly 100% of the time. Now that I need to use the app, it is a never ending headache

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

TIA

The Switch 2 update from last month broke audio on the steel series headsets. Has there been any follow up on when the update to fix this might go live?

Its doing my head in!!! :D

I bought a pair of nova 5s a few months back. They feel good but after an hour or so my ears kinda hurt. I have larger ears so my earlobes stick out of the inside of the cup and are smushed against my head and the headset. Are there any aftermarket or even official ear cups I can buy?

Every time I switch to my wired Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro from my speakers on PS5, my mic is really quiet to party members. I have to go into the settings on the base and turn the mic volume all the way down and back up to ten. Then they hear me properly. If I switch back to my speakers and then come back, I have to do it again. It’s tedious to say the least.

Is there any fix for this? Is it a known problem? Headset is brand new.

Thanks

Hey, made a similar post like this a few days ago, but I wanted to come back to this now that I know a bit more. I mean to replace my old Arctis 7 headset with a new one since the battery is dying. I like my Arctis 7 for its simplicity, comfort, and the chatmix feature that combines game and chat audio, all on a single device. However, I'm not sure if they still produce this model.

I was considering getting an Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, but from what I've seen, it seems like a bunch of extra features that I don't really need, as stuff like the chatmix was done on the headset itself before, and maintaining the charge on the headset was never really a problem before since I could just charge it before I went to sleep. Also, after listening to some recordings made with it, I'm realizing just how bad the audio is, so the microphone is making me lean away from using it (and probably look for a different mic to set up instead).

Am I being a bit hasty with the Nova Pro Wireless, should I try to find another Arctis 7 (and where would be the best places to find it if so), or is there something else from Steelseries that might scratch what I need that's better and/or more affordable?

(Also, any microphone recomendations for better audio quality, Steelseries or otherwise, would be appreciated)

I've been using the Steel Series Arctis 1 headphones for a few years now and I like them a lot, the underside of the band that touches my head is finally starting to peel away and I feel like I'll probably have to replace them at some point and can't seem to find any more stock in my country for them (based in NZ).

I'm wondering what a good replacement would be for them, I obviously want to stay within the brand but I'm not really techy and don't know how to choose good headphones.

I need a pair with a decent microphone and would prefer to be wired not wireless. Any recommendations would be helpful! Thank you in advance! (:

Moin moin, ich besitze diese Kopfhörer und ich habe gesehen, dass es dazu eigentlich ein Update geben soll, aber wenn ich sie mit dem PC verbinden und in die App gehe, wird mir dort nichts angezeigt. Mache ich etwas falsch?
