In the latest version of SteelSeries GG, you can now create, share, and import configs for each of your Sonar audio channels (ie. game, microphone or chat).
Config sharing has been one of the most requested features, and we’re so excited to finally make it possible for you to quickly try out other configs from the community and share your own.
Sonar has presets for your game, chat, media, and microphone, and now, after creating your own, you can share them! Here's how.
How config sharing works
A Sonar config isn’t just about your EQ settings; it contains the settings for every aspect of a given sound channel, including ClearCast AI, Spatial Audio, and all other effects that are available in each tab.
Although this feature is in its beta phase, you may have noticed that it’s been available for the Game audio channel for a while, and we now feel it's robust enough for a full rollout.
That said, expect to see a slew of updates in 2024, where we aim to make config discovery and sharing much smoother.
But enough talking.
How to use config sharing
It’s really simple:
- Open any sound channel in Sonar (ie. game, microphone or chat)
- Make sure all your settings are to your liking
- Hit the blue “Share” button next to the config drop-down
- Give your preset a descriptive name and select "Share"
- Sonar now creates a link that you can copy and share
- Paste that bad boy in Discord or whatever forum you use
Share your config in our Discord Server or Sub Reddit . We have a dedicated channel for Sonar configs!
