Super helpful video. Thanks.
Of course happy to help!
Interesting. Thanks for the info!
You're very welcome!
Don't buy them
I have a steel series nova pro for xbox now just unboxed it yesterday. I bought it bc I was hoping with its unique features that I might be able to put my also new stream deck to use I bought (solely for soundboard trolling in proximity chat) but the stream deck was made for pc gaming but I was wondering if you knew of any back door ability to get my soundboard via stream deck to play thru my steel series headset/mic so I can throughly enjoy the proximity chat trolling. Fingers crossed one of yall some peeps knows of a trick for this lol.
Hey, thanks for stopping by and dropping your question.
I can't say I know of a way to make that work either, knowing that the Xbox uses a separate audio codec than regular USB devices I'm just not sure there's a way to cross function it that way, but maybe someone will come along with something. Best of luck and thanks again for watching
I occasionally use a Rode Procaster II to do the same thing. UNFORTUNATELY you’re only going to be able to do this on Xbox with headers which have a removable mic. I use a LucidSound, unplug the mic then plug in my RCPII, which I use for an XLR mic and sound effects. With the Nova having a built-in retractable mic you don’t have this option. Sorry.
My game sound works with the aux cord but mic isn’t working it doesn’t even have the error that it’s not picking up a mic it’s just not working
A question not related to the video but that has to do with the steelseries arctis wireless, is it normal to hear a slight interference in the headphones when they are on? I just bought them now and I hear a slight background interference sound.
The Arctis Pro Wireless, not the Nova Pro?
I know the Nova has active noise cancelling so that might be it. If you're on the older Arctis Pro Wireless, make sure your gain is at about 50% and the chat balance is no more than about 60/40 or 70/30. That should keep that dull white noise down.
Hi, I have a Arctis Nova Pro and an Xbox Series X. I am using a Custom Sound EQ preset on the DAC. I do not want to use any other software such as Dolby atmos etc. When I go to Xbox audio settings, which do you recommend I should run? Thanks!
There should be an uncompressed option or something like that, I would give that a go.
Oh rad! No matter which way you cut it you have no mic! What a valuable headset worth the money.
It has its limitations, however it's not advertised as working on the Xbox.
However as mentioned if you use the included Aux cable and plug into the headset plug on the controller it will indeed work that way. That's the only way to get in game chat. If your USB connected to your computer your mic 100% works in Discord or Xbox party chat that way.
The fact it has a Xbox certified on box.... Doesn't work....steel series is a joke...never again
@@MusicmyZombie it's actually one of the only headsets on the market that I can hear audio on from another device (gaming and music etc) while I use it to take calls at work (from home), so I have come to love it for that.
@@MusicmyZombie why doesn't it work for you? it def has some jank to it
@@MusicmyZombie it could be that XBOX sucks and not steelseries lmao
I have that same setup for my ps5 I didn't bother to use the hdmi splitter optical for my series s however if I do I won't be able to talk with people during the game chat but party yeah if use the Bluetooth and the Xbox app on my pc to have party chat while gaming that all
Yeah the only other option would be to switch the USB from your PC to your PS5 all the time, which would get annoying. I would use bluetooth and just do that if you can.
Yeah I agree
@@MrShadno thanks for stopping by and commenting, it helps more than you know!
No problem
@justnTime077 I will say for those who might play the game very competitive such as fighting games and shooting games
So from what i understand is that you can’t use ingame chat/party chat without the cable plugged in the controller? If this is the case it’s going to be a very expensive wired headset
Yep unfortunately that is the case. The Arctis Pro Wireless Headset however is NOT advertised as working with Xbox, so these are just workarounds to get you some functionality if you still want or already have this headset.
The Nova Pro Wireless, the updated version, has an Xbox version that will work so that's what I'd recommend.
@@Spartan117Echo thanks for the response! So i will be getting the nova pro wireless. 👍🏻
@@mantiemo-8541 Awesome! Just make sure you pick the Xbox edition/version so you get the one that will work. Enjoy!
@@MusicmyZombie Are these the Nova Pro Wireless headphones? Those do work by plugging USB directly in.
I have the Xbox versions and just got them today, but they don't let me hear the party chat, but they can hear me, and the mixer is balanced, so I don't know what's wrong
How about a link for 4k 120hz passthrough hdmi opti splitter?
Those are a bit pricer once you get to the 120hz, but this one should work!

I have the the steeleseries arctic nova pro wireless for series X and I plugged it in via usb to USB-C it doesn’t seem to be giving me any party audio nor does the mix amp control the audio any reccomendations?
Unfortunately I don't have a Nova Pro headset so I'm not sure exactly. I do know that on the transmitter for that headset only one will work with Xbox and the other is free use for PC/Mac/PS4-5/Switch. So I would just double check and make sure it's the right USB port. Beyond that I'd reach out to SteelSeries support.
Best of luck and thanks for watching!
@@Spartan117Echo you don't even have them....the support number is a joke...they said return them period...that's it....
I’m having the exact same issue did you find a resolution?
I didn't understand very well, when I do this the Xbox group chat doesn't work either? or just proximity chat in games like warzone?
Sure, so if you do this you can get Xbox Party chat to work, it would just be through your phone (via bluetooth) or your computer. If you want proximity chat to work you have to plug it in via Aux.
Do you have any idea how to stop background noise from transferring through the mic? My buddies mic you can’t hear anything in the background, and they can hear everything from mine. I can’t find anything online to fix it either!
Great question, and both of you are using this headset? Or do you have different ones?
Not sure why it would be picking up yours more if you have the same mic unfortunately!
Yes return them
A little late to the party so I am pretty sure you already found the solution but for others I will let them know that in the party chat menu under "option" you'll find a setting near the bottom of the list labeled "noise suppression". Set to on and this will prevent background noise from your side being heard by other people in the party. A clan member was annoyed by the sound of my fan and after enabling that setting he can no longer hear it, even at full speed aimed right at the mic. Hope this helps.
Ok let me make sure, because I've still time to cancel mine. The Arctis Pro wireless can not be used to talk to my friends wirelessly? Whether that's in game chat, or private xbox party, unless I plug a wire in? And with that, reducing the quality of my audio? Is that correct? You're the only person I see highlighting this on youtube, so thanks
Edit.. mine is the arctis nova pro wireless.. does that make a difference?
Yep it sure does! The Nova Pro Wireless can work wireless directly with your Xbox, you just have to make sure you have the Xbox version, and not the Playstation one. This is for the older Arctis Pro Wireless, before the Nova one came out.
@@Spartan117Echo brilliant! Thanks very much.. yeah, the xbox version is conveniently labelled "x" on the retailer of my choice, but I appreciate the reply my friend.. keep up the good work.
Of course, thanks for watching
Hi bud. I have a question.
I just bought the ps5 version of the nova pro wireless. The wireless feature works amazing on my ps5 but not on my series X. Do I need the splitter device to access wireless sound on my xbox?
Hi there!
Unfortunately the way the Xbox Audio Codec works, SteelSeries has two versions of the Nova Pro Wireless headset. One that works on , PS5/PC/. They have two products, one that will do PC/PS5/PS4/Mac/Switch and the other that will do PC/Xbox/Mac/Switch/PS5. The main difference is the Xbox one has a dedicated Xbox USB port on the back and then one free use port that works all on the others, and the PS5 headset has two free use ports that work on all of the others.
So unfortunately if the you have the PC/PS5 version it doesn't have the USB port needed to work on the Series X. The next best option would then be to use the Aux cable and plug into the headset and your controller.
Honestly Xbox just needs to get in a line and use the same Audio Codec as everyone else. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the info. Perhaps in the future they can implement that.
@@theend6032 Yeah I hope so, I think it's a hardware element though so it would need a re-release or a new headset to do it.
Thanks again for watching and leaving a great question!
Having the issue with the headset not working with just the cable connected to controller. No sound nothing.
Hi! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
I just tested on my end to confirm, using my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller and that provided aux cable and I was able to get game/system sound and while I didn't have anyone to actively chat with that seemed to be working as well.
I would check and make sure your controller firmware is updated and then make sure the volume in your settings is turned up. If that doesn't work there's several help articles that I found, I would just do a quick Google search for no sound through your Xbox controller.
I hope that helps, and thanks again for watching!
What's the PC part used for for this set up ?? Do ou need one for this set up or isn't just to use dicsog??
Just a usb cable and then Discord or whatevet chat app you'd like.
I have a wireless steelseries and plug in using a 3.5 mm cable into the Xbox controller. I get audio but my mic stops working. How do you fix this ?
I dont get audio from the aux whatever and when i plug in wireless with these things when i talk it sounds like im in a walkie talkie
You're on the Arctis Pro Wireless or Nova Pro Wireless? The Nova just needs to be USB plugged into your console and that should work.
That's super strange I've tried it myself multiple times and never had issues like that.
I have the nova pro wireless connected to an Xbox series X and for some reason I can’t get the chat feature to work. They can hear me, but I can’t hear them. The sound from the game sounds fine. It’s just the chat.
I would check and make sure you have the Xbox version and not the PS5 one, there's different hardware inside to make ti work.
If you do have that Xbox one make sure it's plugged into the Xbox port and not the other USB one, it wouldn't work if not.
@@Spartan117Echoit says designed for xbox right on the box, so we can eliminate that one. 👍
I just checked and yes it’s in the Xbox port. There’s two usb ports behind the Xbox. Is there a difference between those two? Also there’s the one in front, but I use that one to charge my controller. Should I use that one instead? Like said, the sound works great, I’m just having issues hearing others. Thx for helping!
@@tatooweeny sounds like you've got it set up right, maybe there's something in the Xbox settings to make sure it's picked as your mic? I'd check steel series support beyond that
@@Spartan117Echo I fixed the problem! Apparently you have to select “Allow Passthrough”, plus under Chat Mixer, select “Do Nothing” regarding volume reductions. I’m guessing it probably conflicted with the headphone mixer, but whatever the case is it works now in Parties & Chats, plus Discord. Thx for your help!
question can you speak to other using that headset while gaming
Great question, using the method I described here you wouldn't be able to chat with them directly throught the optic audio. However if you connect to your PC via USB or to your phone via Bluetooth you can join Xbox Party Chat or Discord that way.
For in-game chat use the Aux cable as discussed in the video. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching and stopping by to comment!
Ok well that sucks 😕 oh well
@@MrShadno The Aux cable is still a great option though, I would give that a try if you haven't!
I did however not gonna work for me because I need to chat other players
@@MrShadno Ok so I tested it a bit just now to make sure and plugged in through the Aux cable I'm able to chat directly on the Xbox (both in party chat and a voice message). I didn't boot up a game to see but it should work in game chat as well. So if you need to chat with other in-game players that aux cable into the headset and the Xbox controller should work
I'm confused with this video, you on title says steelseries arctis nova pro wireless then you say the the came out with new one the is thr ssme name as the title 🤔
Title says "Arctis Pro Wireless" which came out in 2018 and is different from the newer "Arctis Nova Pro Wireless" headset which came out in 2022.
I plugged in my headset/dac to series x out the box. I can not use chat features via 3.5 and the volume rocker on headset does not work. Tips?
Hmm I haven't had trouble with voice chat via the 3.5 mm so I'm not urw the issue there.
I have had to tweak the Xbox audio volumes however when I've had it plugging in that way.
Sorry I can't be of more help!
He doesn't even have these headset...😂🤔
So if you just have console so you need a splitter
To make the older Arctis Pro Wireless headset that connects via Optical that's correct, you need to split out the optical connection from HDMI and that's the best way to do that!
I have my headphones connected to my controller but can’t hear anything
Weird! It's the older Arctis Pro Wireless, not the newer Nova?
My microphone won’t work in party chat, and I don’t hear my friends in discord but my mic works. WTF ?
That's very odd. Is this the Nova Pro Wireless?
@@Spartan117Echo nah I use the nova pros on my pc. This is the arctis 7 pros from 2018 I think. It’s very odd. I got my mic and chat to work with discord but still no mic with Xbox parties
I have one of these and it has a sticker on the box that reads “designed for XBOX” yet I’ve come to learn it doesn’t work with Xbox at all? And no I don’t have the Nova I have the Arctis. This shit makes no sense at all and Steelseries will not be getting my money again
So the older Arctis Pro Wireless headset isn't directly Xbox compatible. However the newer Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is indeed and should work fine plugged in via USB.
They probably could have done a better job naming the Nova Pro Wireless so there's a clearer distinction lol.
Hope that helped
Why even call a wireless headset Xbox compatible if it blatantly isn't compatible. This has turned me off from SteelSeries & Xbox both, truthfully. I should just be able to plug the USB of my $300 header into my $500 console & it work.
So this headset actually doesn't advertise itself as Xbox compativble, but this video was just a workaround way to make it work. The new Arctis Nova Pro Wireless has a version withd direct Xbox support and that one works great.
How different is the nova wireless. Is it exactly the same as pro wireless?
@@autisticdiablo1746 It's quite a bit different. It has active noise canceling, a longer battery life, but most importantly there's an Xbox version that works natviely via USB, so no need for my weird workarounds!
I think there's a few other things, but bascially the Nova is the newer and updated version of the headset and would be the better one to get imo.
Literally this is so annoying I spent ages trying to find a headset that is durable, wireless and comfy, it's got all 3 but not wireless for xbox, just got it as Xmas present. I'm grateful for it but next time gotta search if it is actually wireless
@@lukeharper3102 did you get the Nova? That one does work wireless with Xbox 👍
Jesus man. Ten minutes just to answer a simple question.
IDK man, I make the video shorter and I get a million questions asking to clarify. Figured I'd rather give more info than less.
I can't sink to Xbox x....why....
So if you have the older Arctis Pro Wireless it won't connect directly you have to use an optical splitter and Bluetooth/PC.
Hope that helps!
@@Spartan117Echo brand new
@@Spartan117Echo Xbox x is about 3mths old... Nova is about 3 days old. Connect fine to cell and laptop...blueray player... But not Xbox x... The stupid base that came with it .. that's really smart also.... I would have just got Bose for 325.00
Everyone on the internet says these are junk
@@MusicmyZombie Sorry to hear that, I really love my Arctis Pro Wireless but I haven't used the Nova Pro Wireless myself. I'd reach out to Steelseries support, best of luck though my dude.
