Thanks so much for making this video and explaining everything in detail! Ever since Sonar came out and it drove me crazy because things stopped working, and when even the mixer knob stopped working last week it was really frustrating... but with your help I could fix it so thanks a lot!
Thank you so much. You're a savior. I've been dealing with this issue for months now and it has tilted me to high heavens and back. I even went out and bought a new headset because I was pissed and couldn't figure out why my headset wasn't working, but I just enjoy this headset way too much to change my ways so I went back and delt with the bs until once again it pissed me off for now the final time. Again.. thank you. I can rest easy now and turn my loud friends down with a simple scroll once again.
Yes! I love this headset too honestly. I think it was definitely an issue on discords end and not steelseries. Although forcing us to try and use their app was kind of dumb. I am glad it still works without their app.
I had (yes, had) a simpeler workaround that would work 99% of the time. If I entered a Discord Channel (or call): 1. Switch the Windows sound output to Chat; 2. Check if you hear the sound on that; 3. Switch the Windows sound output back to Game; 4. Tadaa, that should work again. if not: repeat a couple times. However, I'm here because that just didnt work anymore this evening and I was really really really really really sick of this bug. So thanks a lot!!! Now I understand why I got this bug after some time, because I haven't installed SteelseriesGG in the beginnen. Someone recommended it to me for the "Moments"-feature.
Switching USB ports did nothing for me (Feb 10, 2024). SteelSeries Software ruined everything, which I noticed right after their POS finished installing... Neither uninstalling Discord nor the SteelSeries crap fixed anything, the Headset simply shows as "CERTIFIED" (in Discord) instead of its formed "Chat", which made the Knob working on the SteelSeries Arctis 5. If I opt for the Certified OUTPUT method, the discord chat actually stops working and it stops YT videos from playing in the background... you have to set everything to Game to even have sounds, losing the knob function all together. If anyone finds the solution, I am furious right now....
FIX (for me) was this, since(Video did not do it for me... I got the same issue described in the video, but simple re-plug did not work... Issue: Discord can not split channels to Chat / Game anymore, can't use knob on the headset to adjust volumes, Discord VS rest of the apps (like YT or games) Headset: Steelseries Arctic 5 Windows 11 My finals settings to separate Chat / Game channels to be able to use the Steelseries Arctic 5 knob again... to adjust volume between Game / Chat Discord Voice settings: Input Device - Default (I am using a different microphone than on the headset) Output Device - SteelSeries Arctic 5 - Certified (also prior known as Chat) Windows 11 setting System > Sound > Volume mixer Output device: Steelseries Arctic 5 Game Input device: USB Mic (I am not using the steelseries mic, should not matter) Apps (in Volume Mixer... shows two Discord apps for me, either way, both are set like this) Discord -> Volume max, Output device: Default, Input device: USB Mic Google Chrome -> Output device: Steelseries Arctic 5 Game, Input device: Default (may not matter). If this helps anyone, I just didn't waste 12h fooling around with all kind of configs. What I also tried (and may fix your issue): Reinstalling Discord - did not work for me, but tried anyway Installing Steelseries software (that triggered the problem in the 1st place, I believe), then uninstalling it, reinstalling it, actually at one point it seemes like it worked with the SW installed. I also fooled around with Audio enhancements, in the end I ended up with Audio enhancements on "Device default effects" for both settings, Arctic Game and Chat. Arctic Game was set to Set as default sound device "Is default for audio" in its Properties options. Arctic Chat was set to Set as default sound device "Is default for communications" in its Properties options. Control Panel> Sound> Playback In BOTH - the Arctic Chat and Arctic Game > Properties > Advanced tab > Exclusive Mode (I have both options ON and it works as intended, thought I did mention this). If you want to compare more settings, feel free to comment here.
It makes no sense. I wanna blame steelseries for their stupidity but I think it's discord's issue. The new Arctis 7 headsets kind of suck as well can't even use the chat/game mixer wheel unless you have the app installed.
Dang! Dont know if SteelSeries or discord messed this stuff up further or not because I was having the exact issues you described with my new Arctis Pro Wireless headset and the fix did not work for me. Got rid of the certified channels, but even with the regular channels joining a discord call mutes everything thats supposed to be coming through the game channel. Tried some other recommended fixes with changing the bitrate and disabling windows enhancements but problem persists. If anyone has any leads please let me know
@@ChrisChevs yes and then when that didn't work I tried going to device manager and deleting the instance of the device on the original USB port to force my PC to resetup the device again but that didn't work either. Both ports are 3.0
I'm having the same problem and I've tried like 8 fixes so far and nothing is working. My headset will constantly randomly beep and stop working properly. I think it cuts out my mic in chats too. The fix in this video didn't fix it either, unfortunately. I'm going to keep trying things and maybe reach out to support.
For me in the future who forget how fix this crap/others that encounter the same problem with me Issues : knob/wheel in your right headphone, that function is to change sound priority to game or discord voice chat is broken/not working How it is supposed to work : when you scroll knob/wheel up : your discord voice chat sound is down - game sound is up, and when you scroll down : your chat sound is up - game sound is down Solution : 1. You can unistall steelseries GG just like in the video or just disable the sonar altogether in steelseries GG settings 2. PLUG YOUR DONGLE TO BLUE USB SLOT IN YOUR PC, THIS IS A MUST! since apparently your right knob/wheel only work properly if you plug the dongle into blue usb slot 3. Set your discord settings both input and output to STEELSERIES CERTIFIED 4. Hopefuly this solve the problem, try to invite music bot into your channel + play some game and see if your right wheel/knob work just like i say above
Go to windows sound settings and desable audio enhancements on your arctis 7 chat in the speakers tab. The chat channel definitely does sound more low quality than the game channel though for sure.
Unfortunately, none of this worked for me. My solution ended up being surprisingly simple: the Steel Series 7 is temperamental and *hates* being plugged into a USB hub of any kind. Removing it from my USB hub and going direct to my computer corrected the problem immediately.
you can just add the discord app and it works without any hassle * got to engine on the software then apps and turn discord on and it works :)only if you want to keep the software
Yeah it's very frustrating I am not sure what the issue is I think it's on discords end. Hopefully this fix works for you. I have had to swap the USB port a few times but it always works.
Hey Mate! Thanks for your Video! I have the same issue, but after uninstalling my Discord doesn't show Arctis Pro Chat any more, only Arctis Pro Game. Windows is still showing both options... Any ideas how to fix this?
Switching USB ports should do the fix. Mine just started doing it again even with software uninstalled. Switched to a different USB 3.0 and it works again. Such a weird issue, I think it's on discord's end.
So glad all I had to do was uninstall that terrible software. cannot believe the only solution that worked was uninstalling the software you are a saint sir.
I followed this, and i yes it does work but now i dont have my nice surround sound ingame anymore. everything sounds flat and shitty compared to sonar. is there anything else i can use?
I have a SteelSeries Rival 5 Mouse and SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Headphones, you can also turn off Sonar in the settings and it will work as if you uninstalled it, thanks for your help
Im actually a fan of the clipping feature the program has, do you know of any way to keep it and not have this issue? I've used it on another computer for years with no issue at all and now on my new pc it suddenly does this. I know theres other clipping software out there but to me, steelseries is the best id used
@@BanxMagilligan Graham said below you can do this: you can just add the discord app and it works without any hassle * go to engine on the software then apps and turn discord on and it works!
@@ChrisChevs I can't believe I hadn't added the discord app to the engine on Sonar. All this trouble with discord and all it needed to be fixed was this simple solution. Thanks man, appreciate it.
Hiya I came across this video hoping you could help me with the Artic 7 mic. Since that's my only available mic and it keeps on making a static noise or not picking up audio. Any tips?
Mic could of gone bad from being bent too much. Discord has noise supression filters to get rid of the static. These mics are not great to begin with to be honest. Try download NVIDIA Broadcast if you have a 2000 series NVIDIA gpu or better, it will supress the background noise for you. If you can though I would suggest getting a Yeti mic or if you're on a budget the Tenor mics are good too.
i have an older set arctis 5 pro gamedac this fix doesn't work for me unfortunately, for me i have to scroll the wheel in the other direction and use opposite sound setting so speakers will be for voice and earphones will be for game sounds, this actually suck because game sound is far better when I use the speakers option.
whats unfortunate is i actually like the software quite a bit, and only recently got the audio issues. so uninstalling it is kind of sad, but if it means being able to change how loud my game/chat is im willing to do it
Right I liked the concept of the app but whenever I would go to switch in between audio channels it would be a super delayed response making it useless for it's function. It's made to be able to quickly turn down discord talking when focusing on a game or vise versa basically and you can't do that when there is such a huge delay. It's insane how many views this video has that just goes to show how bad SteelSeries messed up with these updates lol.
Hi I had people tell me that I sound worse than my previous headset that was a Corsair Void Pro wired. I recorded myself in OBS and I think that is true to my voice, and I think I sound bad only in Discord. Is there anything that can be done with this app to make it sound better or with the GG software?
Make sure krisp is on in voice and video settins, and noise reduction. Discord makes it sound decent. Wouldn't use the GG software in my opinion but you could. This headset mic is pretty bad to begin with though. I use a Yeti Blue mic instead.
i searched reddit, steel series forums, countless youtube videos. all said i needed this USELESS OVERCOMPLICATED software. This is what I needed, thank you.
my game audio is working well but my chat audio plays no matter how low I set it on the mixer. i tried all the steps in the video and now there is no more separate channels! just 1 steel series headset and now chat and game audio is all jumbled up. SUCH A HEADACHE. PLZ ANYONE HELP :(
I know this was a month ago but have you added the discord app to the engine in sonar ? Before I added discord, no matter what output channel I set discord and windows to, the chat dial wouldn't work and sometimes I'd straight up lose audio in discord or in my game. Now I just set windows to "Sonar - Gaming" and discord to "Sonar- Chat" and it works perfectly.
@@flukaa277 yeah i tried that too, i’ve found a consistent way to fix my issue and it does include resetting various audio channels in the sonar engine; not exactly sure why the bug happens but for me it’s whenever there’s an Nvidia update, i’m just glad i know a fix now :D, thx for your concern none the less it’s pretty close to my solution anyway :)

Thank you for making a video about this and making it super easy to find. This issue was driving me crazy.
Thanks for this - it has been driving me crazy for a few months now. Thought something had gone wrong with the hardware.
Me too finally was able to figure it out!

FIX (for me) was this, since(Video did not do it for me...
I got the same issue described in the video, but simple re-plug did not work...
Issue: Discord can not split channels to Chat / Game anymore, can't use knob on the headset to adjust volumes, Discord VS rest of the apps (like YT or games)
Headset: Steelseries Arctic 5

My finals settings to separate Chat / Game channels to be able to use the Steelseries Arctic 5 knob again... to adjust volume between Game / Chat
Discord Voice settings:
Input Device - Default (I am using a different microphone than on the headset)
Output Device - SteelSeries Arctic 5 - Certified (also prior known as Chat)
Windows 11 setting
System > Sound > Volume mixer
Output device: Steelseries Arctic 5 Game
Input device: USB Mic (I am not using the steelseries mic, should not matter)
Apps (in Volume Mixer... shows two Discord apps for me, either way, both are set like this)
Discord -> Volume max, Output device: Default, Input device: USB Mic
Google Chrome -> Output device: Steelseries Arctic 5 Game, Input device: Default (may not matter).
If this helps anyone, I just didn't waste 12h fooling around with all kind of configs.
What I also tried (and may fix your issue):
Reinstalling Discord - did not work for me, but tried anyway
Installing Steelseries software (that triggered the problem in the 1st place, I believe), then uninstalling it, reinstalling it, actually at one point it seemes like it worked with the SW installed. I also fooled around with Audio enhancements, in the end I ended up with Audio enhancements on "Device default effects" for both settings, Arctic Game and Chat.
Arctic Game was set to Set as default sound device "Is default for audio" in its Properties options.
Arctic Chat was set to Set as default sound device "Is default for communications" in its Properties options.
Control Panel> Sound> Playback
In BOTH - the Arctic Chat and Arctic Game > Properties > Advanced tab > Exclusive Mode (I have both options ON and it works as intended, thought I did mention this).
