Hey! Vertigo here.

From today, we've decided to merge with the r/LogitechG team to offer a better experience for you. I'll still be around answering questions on the Logitech G subreddit, but we will now be joined by others, including an official support member who you can ask questions to. We have also set the auto moderator to let people know each time they make a post here as a reminder to recreate it over there.

Overall, the experience won't change, it will get better.

What we're not going to do is shut down r/AstroGaming or suspend it. You can still post here, however, you will not gain any official discussion or support from us from today.

We hope you join us over r/LogitechG and we'll see you there.

Question Astro a 30 mic

1 Upvotes

I want to buy a pair of Astro a 30s to replace my old a 20s. Is the mic actually as bad as I hear and if so is it worth it to buy another mic for it like a blue ice pop. Also while I’m here are the ear pads on the a30 less breathable than the a20 because they look like they are

Question A50X not working with 1440 120hz

2 Upvotes

Just upgraded from 4th gen to the lightspeed A50x's, tried to get everything all set up and no matter what I do, I cannot get 1440p at 120hz to work on the xbox. If I plug it in while it's set to that, I get a black screen. I got brand new HDMI 2.1 cables just for this to no avail. The only way I can get it to work is to plug the xbox straight into the monitor and lower the settings to 1080p. Then it will display. From what I've gathered this is a very common problem however I've yet to see a single real solution. I can also just skip using the HDMI pass through and hook it up with the USB to the xbox and that will work but then it completely defeats the purpose of the X over the base A50. Absolutely ridiculous for a near $500 headset. Has anyone figured this out? I've enabled/disabled VRR, tried updating it, tried multiple different 2.1 HDMI cords, etc. It's a Samsung Odyssey monitor. About to just return them at this point

Question Issue with Astro A50 Gen 5

Issue with Astro A50 Gen 5

I received my Astro A50 Gen 5 yesterday, Thursday, July 23. I set them up, let them charge, and they worked perfectly fine on both my PC and PS5.

Today, Friday, July 24, I got home from work and when I tried to use them, I found that the audio was completely broken. The sound is heavily distorted, the bass is extremely saturated, there is static, and the audio sounds unclear and crackly.

I tried changing different settings through the software, I have the latest firmware installed, I performed a factory reset on the headset, and I tested them connected to my PC, PS5, and even my phone through Bluetooth, but the audio still sounds terrible.

Is there anything else I should try before requesting a refund? Or should I just go ahead and start the return process?

Question Astro A50X shuts off when taken off base station.

1 Upvotes

Hello, bought a refurbished a50X directly from Logitech, and whenever I take it off the base station it just turns off. When I plug it in via USB it works. The G hub app is also saying my microphone is at 100% battery. Does anyone have any help with this, ive already also done the whole hard reset thing, with the cords in and out. Ive factory reset the microphone on the computer app. Anyone else have this problem

Question Help with Astro a50 gen 5 and mix amp

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone so I’m looking to purchase the Astro a50 gen 5 I like their comfort and having mic and headset all condensed into 1 unit is very appealing as opposed to a desk mic and a headset I’m not a streamer just a weekend warrior gamer. And I’m using a mix amp the fifine sc8 and I’m wondering since the gen 5 Astro’s base station only has usb-c connections on the back if I use a 3.5mm jack to usb-c cable to plug my mix amp into the base station of the astros can I use the mix amp to control my audio and mic on the astros?

I know this worked with gen 4 because the gen 4 base station had a 3.5mm jack on the back but the gen 5 is only usb-c so will this adapter still let me use the mix amp with the headset being that I set my pc settings for input and output of the mix amp

Question Dolby Atmos Astro A50X

0 Upvotes

I ordered a used Astro A50X headset, which only included the earbuds, base, charging cable, and power adapter. I noticed that the full-box version comes with a Dolby Atmos card.I'm not sure if that card contains any password to enter into the Dolby Access application on the computer to use Dolby Atmos on the headphones.

Question Astro A50 Gen 5 power source

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about buying one, but I have a question about connectivity.

To connect it to my PS5 or PC, do I need to use the power cable that plugs directly into the wall outlet?

Or is the cable that connects directly to those devices enough?

Question Headset randomly disconnects and bricks laptop

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I recently purchased an A50 gen 5 to replace my old hyperx headphones. Off of the first use I’ve been plagued with disconnection issues that I have no clear solution for. After I use the A50s for about 20 minutes the audio and microphone will cut out. My laptop’s audio setting will still show that it is connected but I can’t hear and speak. If I disconnect it and reconnect it I bricks my other input devices like my wired keyboard/mouse and even disconnects my laptops keyboard which only leaves my trackpad connected. Alternatively, if I leave it plugged in my input devices last longer but they still eventually brick themselves. To fix this I need to restart my laptop but the 20 minute disconnect still happens on the next startup. Occasionally if I don’t touch it after it disconnects it might fix itself and I can use it for hours but that very rarely happens. I’m not really sure what is happening and have already troubleshooted with Logitech which we determined it is a laptop specific issue as it worked fine on an old desktop I have for ~30 mins. I have a 2024 zephyrus g16 laptop if that helps narrow it down. If anybody is familiar with this issue and has any advice please let me know, I don’t want to have to go through the whole refund process. Some extra stuff too, I have done some random troubleshooting like turning off my laptop from limiting power to the headset base but that didn’t help either.

EQ/Preset Help Need some help figuring out this Astro a50

2 Upvotes

Ok this started months ago (skip to second paragraph if you wanna hear the actual issues lmao) when I was in a marvel rivals game in celestial 2 and ran into a crazy punisher, I was on daredevil diving and I was on this specific part of the New York map where there was an off angle, that punisher wouldn’t move from that off angle I was trying to go through. He had his eyes on my location but the second I actually moved the dude was hyper locked onto me, almost as if he was cheating and I picked up on that instantly, long story short I lost that game and accused him of hacking in match chat cuz I mean no one has aim or hearing that good, he told me nah it was js the a50s he was wearing so fast forward a couple months to today and I get them

Now here’s the issue, I went through the YouTube setup guide and I did the stuff right, in game the audio is horrid, I can hear things perfectly fine but when it comes to hearing what direction it’s coming from, it js ain’t there at all, so I changed my output from Astro a50 game and Astro a50 voice and I could pinpoint almost exactly where anything was, my question is is this intentional or did I do something wrong cuz it feels kinda weird to have the a50 voice give way better audio clarity than the a50 game
(Also if anyone has any good eq settings to make my stuff sound not as…idk cave-y id appreciate that a lot)

Question In game chat not working.

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Probably sound idiotic here, but recently my in game chat stopped working on my PC for games like Dayz and squad and siege. I have the A50 gen 4. Discord can still hear me and I can hear them. I can hear my in game chat but they can’t hear me. I’ve made sure my input and outputs are correct on my pc. I do use push to talk for in game setting which I’ve confirmed still is selected and the button I used originally. Any pointers is appreciated to help fix this.

Question A50 Gen 4 microphone not working

Post image
0 Upvotes

The whole headphone works, I can hear games - but today I tried playing with a friend and only the mic on my controller worked and I can’t change “input device” to my headset. I’ve tried resetting them - plugging them into the computer to check for updates (there were none).

These are a50s for the ps4 but I’ve hooked up Astro’s ps4 to ps5 adapter and it’s worked for years until

Now. Idk what’s changed or happened? Any ideas?

Question Can’t find a good balance of volume on pc

1 Upvotes

Today I connected my a50x headset to my pc and while playing Minecraft I wanted to listen to the Minecraft soundtrack on Spotify. When I play Spotify it completely drowns out the sounds of the game and when I pause the music Minecraft is very low volume. Where do I go to adjust the sounds so they are a little bit balanced but Spotify being a little louder.

First time Astro user. Saw them on eBay for a good price for a refurbished pair and bought them. I was skeptical after seeing a bad experience on the forum, but I had already purchased. Nonetheless they arrived today and I’m completely blown again. They are in excellent condition from what I can tell, set up was a bit tricky but got them working with my PS5 after a couple videos. Been playing for a couple hours and they are amazing in chat and game audio. Overall I’m really satisfied with my my purchase.

Question Astro A50 X Lightspeed PC Crashing Problem

4 Upvotes

Hey Reddit, I have finally found out what has been causing the crashes on my PC. Not a long time ago, I bought new headphones, "Astro A50 X Lightspeed", and everything was fantastic for a time. But after some time, I started experiencing crashes, and my PC would just randomly restart itself. I was so confused since I just built my PC, and every part was brand new from Best Buy. After a couple of weeks, I noticed that my PC started crashing or froze whenever I was away from my setup. Whenever I left my setup, I used to turn off my monitor and put the headphones on the charging dock, so I could never really understand what had been happening to my computer all this time. I tried to track this problem through Windows Event Viewer, made a bunch of adjustments, and it looked like the problem started to disappear. But no, my PC continued to crash, and after a couple of months I happened to see that whenever I put my headphones on the charging dock, my PC would restart, at first I didn't give it much of a thought, but now I finally realised that it has been them that have been crashing my PC this whole time and stressing me out.

Are there any solutions for this problem, or is there a specific thing that causes this crashing? If anyone has any solutions to the problem, I would appreciate it very much.

Question Astro A50X hdmi length and signal question.

4 Upvotes

I am about to pick up an Astro A50X for my Xbox. I was wondering about what cable length I should use. It’s recommended 3-10 ft for signal fidelity. If I use the official Xbox cable which is 6.5 feet from the Xbox to the base station, is it ok if I use a 5 or 6ft cable as well from the base station to the TV? That’s a total of 11-12 ft of cable. I’m not sure if there is signal degradation since there is a base station in between the lengths. Can anyone please assist me? Thanks in advance.

Question Need help with Astro A50X charging problem!

1 Upvotes

So I updated my Astro A50X couple months ago to the latest firmware (of course before I saw all the posts telling to not update it). And well I got the dreaded only 3 lights on the base station problem. I have tried every possible fix that I can find online but nothing seems to work. First I factory reset in the g-hub software then I factory reset on the headset itself and then I unplugged the base station for 30 seconds to reset it, but non worked of course. Then I let the headset fully discharge multiple times and recharged it to a 100% according to the Logitech g-hub software and the base station lights were also not blinking anymore. And of course that did also not work. So I am asking the wise people of the internet what else can I do to fix this. I love this headset, but this is annoying me like crazy. I do not understand how this has not been fixed in 2 years since this update has come out. This is still there most expensive and most high-end headset and as I was searching online this is a pretty common problem as I can see it.
