- In this tutorial I show you the best SteelSeries Sonar settings for gaming. These settings will help you hear footsteps better, and make movies and music sound better. Additionally, Sonar can also be used to remove background noise from people you are talking with. Therefore making it easier to hear game sounds.
Although SteelSeries Sonar might seem overwhelming at first, it comes with plenty of presets that you can use. Each preset can then be adjusted to fine tune the audio settings to best match your headset. Additionally, SteelSeries Sonar allows you to use different sonar settings for gaming, media, and aux. While these can be set up to be used for anything, media is often used for movies and shows, while aux is used for music. By seperating these settings you can fine tune the immersive experience when watching a film or listening to music.
If you typically play FPS games then the Warzone 2 game configuration is a great option. I've found that the audio works well across multiple games, improving the clarity of footsteps. Additionally, for people that play Call of Duty games this is a great option.
While the preset configurations are good, to get the best SteelSeries Sonar settings you will want to make some changes. To hear footsteps better you can increase the voice level slightly. This can help isolate footstep sounds and other sounds made by opposing players.
The game audio settings also allows you to enable spatial audio. With spatial audio enabled you will get a more immersive experience, which does tend to be louder. With spatial audio enabled you may find it easier to identify where sounds are coming from. However, spatial audio isn't for everyone.
The SteelSeries Sonar chat settings allow you to adjust how people you're talking to will sound. In most cases you will want to use the Default configuration as everyone's mic is different. If you only talk to friends that all have good microphons then you can try using the Broadcast configration. This will often imrpove the sound of friends when chatting.
Another useful feature of SteelSeries Sonar is the ability to add noise reduction to your chat. This helps eliminate background noise coming from other people's microphones. Unfortunately, this can be difficult to get right if using game chat. However, when talking to friend's this can help eliminate distracting sounds. Ideally, you will want to use somewhat subtle noise reduction settings.
Additionally, you can also add a noise gate to your chat. A noise gate will only allow audio to be heard if it is over a specified volume. This eliminates background noises, such as electronic humming or fans.
Regarding the SteelSeries Sonar media settings, you will usually want something immersive. Because of this spatial audio will typically be enabled. For configuration the Movie: Immersive option is usually the best setting. Additionally, you can increase the bass, voice and treble slightly for a more enhanced sound.
For the aux settings you are adjusting how your music will sound. While you may prefer Sonar settings for your specific music genre, the punchy setting is a good option for most. You can then increase the bass, voice, and treble to your liking.
Using SteelSeries Sonar you can make your microphone sound better. While many of the presets are great, the deep voice and less nasal options give a great base to work with. Both options will improve how your voice sounds, with Deep Voice giving a more professional sound. If you're after the podcast or radio sound then you can also play with the broadcast configurations.
Once you have your microphone configuration you will then want to add noise cancellation. This will decrease the background noises that are heard. To do this you will want to enable the background and impact noise reduction filters. While the best settings for these vary for each microphone, using 0.40 for background, and 0.50 for impact is a good base line. This should remove a lot of the lower sounds from your audio, without reducing your vocals. Additionally, adding a noise gate to your microphone is a highly effective method to reduce background noise.
Once you have your SteelSeries Sonar settings set up you can then assign different applications to use different outputs. For example, you can set Chrome to use the Media output, ensuring that any content you watch has the correct audio settings.

This was an awesome video thank you so much. For almost all of my setups i didnt have spatial audio on now everything sounds so immersive and in my face, love it
Thank you so much! Helped a lot with mic quality and the sound quality was amazing.
Glad I could help
tysm aux helped a lot

one of the best tutorials for setting up Steelseries GG, great work
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS HELPED OUT A LOT.
love this tutorial its the best one yet 100%
te amo hermano gracias
i hope you can help, but i feel like my chat mix doesnt work at all. my mix chat would be all the way and peoples mics continue to be extremely loud
Since your videos are amazingly transparent, you should consider creating a video on how to combine sonar GG with OBS for people who are unaware of It and are also starting content-creating
Can someone tell me if I can use any 3.5mm jack on Arctis Nova Pro wired or does it need the proprietary 5pole to 4 pole 3.55 jack for the mic to work? Because I've bought on that came with 4 pole on both ends and no mic functionality with those. Wondering if my mic is Dead on arrival.
What would be the best preset for single player games, like story immersive ones? Or media would be enough? Thanks!
which mic setting should I use to maximize the noise cancel? There are many people in the house and still can detect noise
when i do all of that dose it work for my ps5 too?
Sounds really good what mic are you using?
Hello, I have made all the settings and I am much more satisfied with the sound I get, but my voice is cut off when it comes to the microphone, it cannot be detected clearly, I tried different things but the result is the same, I wonder why?
yo what can i do if my headphones doesnt work even tho my settings are good?
why does mic test not work and when i try to assing discord it dissapears from the assigned list and goes back to unassigned
i only have the flat config on the chat tab T_T help
the settings keeps resetting something wrong with the app ?
I cant use my mic on my pc via bluetooth. When I do my sounds becomes really bad quality. And if I plug the mic in with the jack my mic just doesnt work... I have the arctis 9x. Any help?
can u share link from sonar ?
Why do you turn off Spatial Audio ?
Can you do for gaming ? I can’t hear footsteps (I have nova pro )
ти рууски значит
I can recommend to use the Broadcast Low Pitch if you have a female voice as the option he shows can get a little muffled and grainy Great video though can't wait to test my settings :D
how do you fix steelseries gg not opening? i jsut got a apex pro tkl but i cant open the software
Open as administrator?
@@xxbig_lxx2747 lil late bro
I have to update my sonar settings everytime I go onto my PC as it keeps changing from [Game] / [Chat] to my monitor...
In GG Go to settings > sonar > backup device switch > chat > exclude your monitor from the list
Go to settings and go to the sonar section, then go to I think it’s back up devices and change those which you will easily figure out once you get there. I did this and it haven’t changed since and I don’t have to turn on streamer mode.
if i unplug th headset and connect to a playstation will the settings still work
Would like to know this too (with Xbox)
you know at the end when you show like the headset apps and mic apps, i don't know why but i only see the headset apps, but for the microphone even when i join a discord call i dont get the microphone app thingy, anyone knows why ? :(
Sometimes you need to change it in the app itself, so try switching your audio devices in the discord settings
@@slurptech thank you, i'll try that
I'm having an issue where no noise is coming from sonar, despite all settings looking good to go and being configured properly, what do I do? Pls help, I bought 2 of these nova pro headsets for me and my gf and i'm getting nowhere with sonar.
Hey, so I don’t have a SteelSeries headset myself but I believe the headset should work without the software. Make sure the audio isn’t turned down on the device or cable itself. Also, open the sound settings on your PC and try selecting the device itself. Another option is if it’s a USB headset then try using a different port.
@slurptech Hey, thanks for such a speedy reply, the only fix I've found so far is just to disable sonar and use it without sonar, however this now leads to me being unable to access the full capability of the headset including surround sound, which is immensely disappointing for the price of the headset since I can hardly use half of its functionality as of now. Also it is the wireless edition, so sadly I may be out of options.
Make sure that the adjustable thing that follows with the headset is to the right side, that was my prob once. Other than that just enter sonar and press the auto-set default device things, and make sure that when you press the cogwheels besides Game, Media etc that Headphones are selected. Otherwise I don't know
yo man I just bought mine yesterday, I connected the controler box with USB-C to USB-C, I launched steel series and configured it and I got no sound either. But when I looked on the controler box, I was only connected with bluetooth but the 2.4GZ thing was not connected and when I did it everything went okay. Did you already try this ?
guys dont use aux connect ur headset with a usb cable or if u dont have buy an adapter, sound and mic quality will be better
My mic is way too quiet and everything ist set to 100% but it ist still wasy too quiet please someone help me
I hear my own voice like eco when I'm using this app. Why? How to confi mic so that this doesn't happen. When I turn off the app it's fine I don't hear my own voice in the headsets.
sidetone maybe? try turning it off in the engine (sonar) and choose the headset you are currently using.
also make sure discord is using the steel series sonar mic instead of the default input audio device!!!
Can you do for gaming best setting
for the gaming one i tend to use the one shown in the video. I use it for most FPS games (with spatial audio turned off) I only really change it for Fortnite and Valorant.
@@slurptech Why is the spatial audio turned off?
My chat and microphone dont works in 96khz
Only game and midia
Moving apps to be routed to any other location will make said app disappear.
if you have issues you can just use the application settings to change your input and output
I did like you but I don't have the sounds in my headphones
I Play with the Gaming Mode (sonar) i doesnt Show me the Mode on the Game Buttom can Someone help me
found any solution?
I don’t work for me?
Japierdole nie da się wysiedzieć tak napierdala XD Polecam Polscy friends
I have to change the game settings to the headset every time I turn my computer on….idk what I’m doing wrong
Same is happening to me
@@Klinxfn it was working yesterday for me I changed some settings but I honestly have no idea what worked and what was wrong ….im gonna look for maybe an update ?
Toggle streamer mode in the top right hand corner and it should save all your output and input settings every time you shutdown… well that’s what worked for me 😊
@@jaujagenz thanks I’ll try it today hopefully it works
Did you figure this out yet? If not I got some help for you.
The surround is so junk on these with no option to turn them off. Everything just sounds so muddy and muffled in FPSs'. Every preset just sounds terrible.
Sorry Steelseries presets are just buns
TIME TO TAKE em back they are thrash going for the astro a50s or logitechs audio sound compressed on steel sries
