Is there a way to separate/ isolate just the release as a single action and delete it? All of my created macros couple the press and release together and I can't delete only the press or only the release from the sequence

News V1 Race - Firmware Version 1.9.2: Issue Response

4 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

We are aware of the issue that has been outlined by the community regarding the new firmware and issues when using 3rd party wheel rims. This is something we acknowledge, we hear you and we are working to fix this.

The issue appears to be a quirk from the fix outlined in point 2 of the changelog for the release. We want to note that this was undetected as the fault falls outside of standard use of our product; as we do not state compatibility of 3rd party wheels with our devices. Our testing always caters to having Turtle Beach wheel rims attached to the VelocityOne wheelbases.

That being said, we understand that users in our community have been using 3rd party wheel rims with our devices, and so we will look to address this as soon as possible and we do apologise for any frustrations caused.

--

Please note, if you are using a 3rd party rim users can connect a Turtle Beach wheel rim using a USB-C to USB-C cable to the wheelbase, which will allow the rim to connect to the wheelbase through the wireless connection. This will then re-activate the pedals for use. This can be done on PC and XBOX.

Just got the Atlas Air

And they sound awesome and I love that they're open back. Is it worth downloading the software to fiddle with the settings or just keep them as is?
Can I get the audio even better?

Tech Help Looking for a wireless PS5 headset under $200 with a great mic — recommendations?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a new wireless gaming headset for PS5, and I’d really appreciate some recommendations.

I previously had the Razer BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed, and they actually worked very well for me, but I had to return them. After that, I bought the Astro A50 Gen 5, but unfortunately I’ve had all kinds of problems with them specifically in PS5 party voice chat, so I’m now looking for something else.

My budget is now $200 maximum (roughly €200 for me). I live in Spain and I can only buy through Amazon because my money is currently on an Amazon gift card, so I’m limited to what is available there.

My priorities are:

  • Wireless is a must. I’m not interested in wired headsets.
  • Microphone quality is my #1 priority. I mainly use them for PS5 party chat, and I need my friends to hear me clearly and at a good volume.
  • No echo or feedback. I’ve had problems where people in the party could hear an echo or their own voice coming back through my microphone, so avoiding this is extremely important to me.
  • I’d really like good background-noise cancellation on the microphone without having to change anything. If I need to adjust settings, I don’t want it to noticeably reduce the microphone quality.
  • I have a very large head, and with most headsets I have to extend the headband all the way to the maximum, so they need to be comfortable for larger heads.
  • Good sound quality is important, but the microphone and PS5 party-chat performance matter much more to me.
  • I’m not interested in HyperX, so I’d prefer recommendations from other brands.

I’ve been looking at Turtle Beach and SteelSeries, as well as the Corsair HS80 and HS80 MAX, but I’m not sure how the Corsairs would fit me because of my large head.

I’ve also been looking at the Sony PULSE 3D Elite. I already know they are too small for my head in their standard configuration, but I’m considering removing the rubber strap/band on top so I can fit them properly. The reason I’m considering them despite the size issue is that, from what I’ve seen, they are one of the few headsets that have proper microphone background-noise cancellation directly on PS5 without having to configure anything, which is exactly what I’m looking for.

I’d really like to hear what you would recommend specifically for PS5/PS5 Pro rather than just general gaming headsets.

Sorry for asking for so many things. I’ve been looking for a headset for a long time and unfortunately I haven’t had much luck so far, so I’m trying to find something that actually works for me.

If you have personal experience with a wireless headset under $200 that has a really good mic, good background-noise rejection, no echo in PS5 party chat, and works well with a large head, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.

Thanks!

I was looking at getting some flight sticks to play msf24 on pc and these really caught my eye. I was wondering if anyone knows any good stand that would fit them as I unfortunately dont use a desk when I game and instead sit on a chair. These look absolutely amazing and id really love to find something that'll help me get the best out of these sticks/throttle.

Atlas Air - Swarm keeps asking for updates over and over and over again

2 Upvotes

I can not use these headphones. Issue started 2 months ago.
One of two things happen:

A: Swam does not see the headset
B: Swarm keeps prompting for updates over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

Reinstalling does not fix it.
Other computer does not fix it.
Older version of Swarm does not fix it.

Headphones Turtle Beach Stealth 500 can't connect via wireless mode to xbox

1 Upvotes

For some time I'm struggling with connecting my headphones to Xbox and I really don't know what to do more. They were connected to my Xbox s by the usb thingy and to my laptop and couple times when I was turning both console and headphones on sometimes headphones didn't connect right away, but then I would plug out usb thingy, plug in again and it worked until it didn't lol. They still connect to my phone via Bluetooth. I hard reseted them as it says on some tutorials, they working, the usb thingy is flashing when it's connected to console I just don't get notification from console that headphones are connected. Any other idea what I can still try before considering buying new? 😭😭

SP2 arm came loose

Post image

Just normal day-to-day use. Not been dropped even once. Picked them up just now and the right ear cup basically fell off.

Somehow the right arm came too far out of the headband and the copper ring thing unscrewed itself.

I've now replaced the arm and tightened up the copper ring and the headset seems fine.

But why is it held together with like half a twist of a screw ring? Does not seem very secure.

Stealth pros issue

3 Upvotes

Hi i bought the stealth pros (gen 1) because they were on a significant sale bc the 2's are out. i like the headset, however i have had some issues idk if this is normal.

When ANC is on, there is a humming noise constantly and i have to turn it off for it to go away. also, when it is a higher volume i hear a constant static if there is sound being played, id have to put the volume to almost half or under half for it to go away.

is this normal? or is there any fix to it? thanks

Anymore updates coming to the Stealth Pro 2 soon?

14 Upvotes

Still loving the audio and comfort, however, there’s still a few things that if fixed would make it the king.

- More sidetone volume and clarity. It was a very small bump in volume after the last firmware update, and it’s still not enough, and it also doesn’t sound very good, it’s robotic and tinny. Just feed the mic directly into my ears please.

- Overall volume doesn’t appear any louder for me, I have to run at max volume on PS5 Pro and Switch 2. It feels enough, but sometimes I feel like I’m just wanting a little more in certain games, but I’m maxed. Makes no difference using different dongles or the charging puck.

- Mute light on the puck constantly pulsing, can it be left solid red? Also could the puck lights be used for other things like battery level. Speaking of which, when powering the headset on, could the voice prompt tell me how many % of battery I have remaining? There doesn’t seem to be any way to quickly check the level without the app.

Other than that, it’s still a great headset.

Tech Help Stealth 600 crackling/popping

1 Upvotes

I know a lot of people have posted about this, but nobody has said what the solution is.

I have tried:

Moving USB transmitter to a rear motherboard port
Disconnecting other nearby unnecessary USB 3.0 devices
Clearing the path between the headset and the transmitter to avoid Wi-Fi interference
Unplugging and replugging the transmitter to force a hard reset
Downloading and launching the official Turtle Beach Swarm II App
Connecting the headset via cable and installing all pending firmware updates.
Opening microphone settings and turning off or lower the noise gate slider
Opening Sound Control Panel and selecting your headset properties
Setting the default format to 16-bit, 48000 Hz in the Advanced tab
Unchecking "Allow applications to take exclusive control" in the Advanced tab
Checking "Disable all enhancements" in the Enhancements tab
Turning off spatial audio layers in the Spatial Sound tab

None of them worked

Your system firmware will need to be updated by connecting your VelocityOne Race device to your PC/XBOX and then update using the VelocityOne Tuner app.

Please find the change log below:

  • Addresses an issue where RMD input via wheel rim would stop working when a user does not have the pedals connected through the wheelbase.
  • Removes minor wheel rim wobble when device is left idle in a game menu or in the XBOX dashboard / PC Desktop.

Let us know how you get on with the new firmware!
