Welcome to the world of Sonar! Here are some questions we know some gamers have about Sonar and how to get the upper hand over other games! From what does this feature do to getting audio perfect to your liking!
Which games can benefit of Sonar enhanced audio experience?
Any game or application using audio.

Why my virtual surround sounds weird when playing a game?
Some games might have their own virtual surround. Make sure to only enable Sonar Virtual Surround.
Will the tuning I do in the Gaming tab affect also my Chat audio or vice versa?
No. With Sonar, Gaming and Chat are completely independent. Any EQ tuning, audio effect or setting applied in the gaming tab will only affect the apps using the Sonar Gaming device.
Sonar gaming device is the default playback device in the Windows, but I do not hear any sound in my headset
Make sure that your headset or favorite audio device is set as output device for Gaming (or Chat depending the use) in the Mixer panel , then make sure the software you are using is outputting to the Sonar Gaming or Chat device.
Volume in Sonar is either too loud or too quiet I can’t get proper volume
Check your active audio effects, EQ settings or automatic effects like the automatic noise gate or smart volume, volume stabilizer as they can impact the volume.
Why my audio is cutting for a few seconds while Installing/Uninstalling GG?
That’s normal this is due to the process we use to make sure all the settings are correctly applied.

My friends say my voice is cutting or not clear
Check your settings for noise gate, automatic noise gate, noise reduction. In a quiet environment, those settings should be set to low values. Setting them to high values could lead to voice distortion.
How could I reduce keystroke noise
Enable impact noise reduction. This effect works better in combination with noise gate effect.
