    Question About Steelseries Artic Nova 7X Voice Issues


    Hello, has anyone else with this headset been experiencing any chat/party issues with this headset within the last couple of weeks? Ever since September 12th when I am in a party either a Xbox party or in a fortnite game party my mic will randomly stop working. It is almost like it is not detecting any voice chat and turning the mic off (I don't think the headset has the option). There are no issues with the in game sound or with my ability to hearing anyone, but the mic will stop working and it will either completely stop working or will occasionally start working and then stop again.

    I updated the headset to the most recent firmware after the issue started and have tried a few different things the internet recommended to reset the headset (push the reset button inside the headset), unplugeed and plugged the dongle back in, moved it to a different USB port, and fully shutting down the Xbox to try to clear the cache on the dongle.

    I don't know if something happened after one of the recent alpha updates that caused the issue with just this headset since my friends are not experiencing any other issues so wanted to check here before I contacted Steelseries to see if they had any recommendations.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello Question asker_920,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I hope that all is well.

    I can see that you are having concerns with the wireless headsets. Let me see how I can assist you with this concern.

    However, we’d like to know more about it in details so that we can provide a more accurate resolution for you. To start, please provide us information/answer on the following questions:

    • Was this working before?
    • Are you getting any error prompts?
    • When did the issue started?
    So far, from the details you provided, you can try the following steps and let us know the result. You can just skip those you have done already.

    If you’re having audio problems in parties, make sure the Xbox network is up and running. If it is, try these tips:

    • Check that your privacy settings allow you to communicate with everyone
    • Unmute or unblock the person you’re trying to chat with
    • Check that you’ve joined party chat from within the party window
    • Check to make sure that you’re not in a Discord voice channel
    • Check for network latency or other network issues

    Steelseries nova 7x Headset not working?

    Assuming that you don't have the mic muted on the headset and the mic is extended out from the headset (it seems like stupid questions but plenty of people don't notice mute buttons on headsets or realise that mics are extendable), do you have access to a PC or laptop that you can test it on to make sure it is not faulty?

    Another way to test is: Connect the headset to your controller using the included 3.5mm to 3.55 cable.

    headset for my xbox X and PS5

    Hello Vladimir015! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

    From my own experience, the SteelSeries ARCTIS 7X is a fantastic headset and works with both consoles. I also use a different SteelSeries for streaming as well.

    Xbox Wireless Headset Mic Monitoring Buzzing Noise

    I returned them and got the SteelSeries Artcis 7X, no stupid buzzing or anything with mic monitoring on High. The issue is with the MS headset, whether they can fix it is another matter.
