  • Introducing the HyperX Cloud Alpha S. Here’s everything you need to know to get started. Let’s go!
    PC Setup
    When you first plug the Cloud Alpha S into the USB audio control mixer and connect it to your PC, Cloud Alpha S will be set as the default playback and recording device.
    In the event that your default devices have been changed you can follow these steps to ensure your setup is correct:
    -Right-click the speaker icon in your system tray and select “Open Sound settings”
    -In the sound settings window select “Sound Control Panel”
    -Under the Playback tab, select “Speakers (HyperX Cloud Alpha S Game).” Then click on the arrow next to “Set Default” and click “Default Device”
    -In the same Playback tab, select “Headset Earphone (HyperX Cloud Alpha S Chat).” Then, click on the arrow next to “Set Default” and click “Default Communications Device”
    -Under the Recording tab, select “Microphone (HyperX Cloud Alpha S Chat).” Then click the “Set Default” button.
    Using the Cloud Alpha S with Discord
    Under the Discord settings, select Voice & Video
    Under Voice Settings, select Input Device to “Microphone (HyperX Cloud Alpha S Chat)”
    Select Output Device to “Headset Earphone (HyperX Cloud Alpha S Chat)”
    Product Usage
    Bass adjustments sliders have been added to the headset to allow you to adjust the level of bass. Move the sliders up for more bass or move them down to reduce bass.
    On the USB Audio Control Mixer you can adjust headset volume, toggle 7.1 surround sound on or off, and adjust the mix between game and chat audio.
    Use the headset volume buttons to set your desired master volume, then use the game/chat balance buttons to set your ideal mix between game audio and chat audio. The headset will beep once when you reach 50/50 game/chat balance. This means you’re hearing game audio and chat audio at the same level, the default state of the headset. It will beep twice when you have set the balance to be either 100% game audio, meaning you won’t hear the chat, or 100% chat audio, which means you won’t hear the game. (Note: Game/chat balance operates independently from the overall headset audio volume.)
    The mic can be muted and unmuted by pressing the mic mute button on the side of the mixer. You can also hold down the button for 3 seconds to toggle mic monitoring on or off.

    I was wondering how people thought this sounded amazing when I first got it today. I thought it was pretty average and because of that i knew something was up. I checked out this video and i was surprised how much the sound quality improved when I did these steps. I guess I just needed to put the Speakers on default. Tysm!

      Hey there! If you are connecting using the USB sound card, right click on the Speaker icon on the bottom right of the desktop. Go to Open Sound Settings. In the new window under Related Settings (in white on the top right or bottom middle), go to Sound Control Panel. Under the Playback tab, make sure the Alpha S Game device is set as the Default Device and that the Alpha S Chat device is set as the Default Communication Device. Restart any affected apps if you need to reconfigure them.

    May be 2 years old but short and sweet, had exactly what I was looking for, what the buttons do since I can’t make out what the top right one is with it being solid black with only a raised outline.
    Am loving the headset, great sound. I was initially disappointed with not being able to tell direction from which sounds originated (in Elden Ring on PS4) but the firmware update fixed that and I’m pleasantly surprised by how well I can discern direction of sounds through headphones/headset. The memory foam cups make them really comfortable too.

    Bought this headset and received it yesterday. The sound is the worst i ever experienced. I'm using a "Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless" and a friend suggested me the HyperX Cloud Alpha (S) because he said a wired one would be better and this is fantastic. So, the stereo sound (without 7.1) is just a blunt mess. Once i activate 7.1 i hear things that where not there before. BUT:
    It takes out trebble, hights and everything! Everything sounds bland and heartless. Playing a game is the same thing. It seems like every sound and click has a much higher pitch after i activate it. Lastly the mic:
    It was said, that the mic is one of the best in the class. Tried it of course... People said: "wth is wrong with your mic? i can't hear you correctly, sounds strange."
    Then i pumped up the output to the max and they could me hear me better but said my previous mic was ten times better, clearer na louder.
    Sending it back i guess.

      Hey Favian, depending on what onboard audio chip your motherboard has, you might or might not have the Realtek High Definition Audio device listed. When you're using your Cloud Alpha S with the included USB sound card, that won't even matter much as the only thing you'll need to do to get your microphone working is to right-click the HyperX Cloud Alpha S Chat device and set it as the Default Communication Device :) .

    KOTEGORICALLY I do not advise buying them, even the same Cloud cores are better, which are 40% cheaper than this model (I liked how the 7.1 system was implemented in them), the sound card in Alpha s is very poorly implemented, and especially the 7.1 surround sound (Sound like putting on a bucket on the head, and spoils the hearing very much, I do not advise, it is easier to take simple alphas, they will be cheaper and more practical), I will add that the sound through sound in Alpha C is connected via usb, very quiet compared to if connected via 3.5mm (AUX), what on the computer and on the phone will play better and louder than through the native sound on the cord of the headphones themselves, which is connected via usb. that's all, thanks for your attention!

And another problem is that my microphone is very quiet, even though I set its volume to max in HyperX ngeunity. Please help me

    I've had my Cloud Alpha S headphones for a while and they're pretty great. I'm now having an issue though where I change my volume up/down on the headphone volume controls only the game or chat volume goes up or down on their own. They aren't linked together like they used to be before where if I pressed the volume up/down the game and chat audio would match each other. I now have to set both audios manually to match because one goes lower/higher than the other while the other audio level doesn't move unless I switch over and change that too. Never ran into this issue before, and looked up fixes and couldn't find much about the topic.

      EDIT: Fixed! I've uninstalled all drivers related to the headphones and also the NGENUITY software. I think the software may have been bugging it up. Either way the issue is resolved and the volumes now match up together instead of independently.

    Hey! So I have had the problem that my ShadowPlay software which I am using to record my gameplay does not record the Discord voices of my friends. I have only had this problem since I got the Cloud Alpha S (the problem wasn't present before when I used the Cloud Alpha 2). I didn't find any solution for this yet whether on the Nvidia side nor on the HyperX side.
    Long story short, all I wanted to ask is if there is some sort of driver software which allows me to manage the audio output of my Headset? And if not, does anyone know how to fix this problem? I cannot really change anything in my ShadowPlay settings.

      The AMP requires configuration of the two devices (Game and Chat) to function correctly - the "Game" device needs to be set up as 7.1 speakers via the Playback - Configure menu.

      On the Playback tab: set Alpha S Chat as the Default Communication Device, and Alpha S Game as the Default Device
      On the Recording tab: set Alpha S Chat as the Default Communication Device
      After you set the devices, try adjusting the chat and game volume somewhere in the middle to see if audio comes through.

    these have got to be one of the worst headphones I've ever gotten. Got the cloud 2 for around $60 on sale, great quality, the sound card eventually got worn down and wouldn't pick up my mic sometimes. The alpha s is overly complicated, sounds muddy, and nothing I can do changes it. On sale these were $100. It defaulted to having the chat be the default communications device and game being the default device. With or without the sound card it sounds terrible. It's really unfortunate because these feel very comfortable but besides that they're a complete downgrade despite being more expensive.

    As I am using the usb dongle, my onboard Realtek sound card isn't picking them up at all, is this normal? If I plug them in directly to the back 3.5mm jack Realtek audio manager recognizes them and I can change the settings, but I want to be able to use the dongle.
    Under speaker configuration should I choose Stereo or 7.1 Surround? Do I select Full Range speakers?
    The main problem I'm having is the option to change the sampling rate is grayed out and stuck at 16 bit CD quality. Does using the usb dongle disable this? If so what sampling rate is the dongle set to?
    Finally, adjusting the volume on the dongle is tied to the system sound, is there anyway to unlink this so I can leave Windows volume at 100% and adjust the headset volume separately?
