Sonar allows you to connect any headset and enjoy Chatmix and Spatial Sound capabilities.
Setup for Single Endpoint Headsets (Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, Arctis 7x, Arctis 9x, Arctis 1 Wireless) or generic non-SteelSeries Headsets/Device:
Step 1: In the Mixer tab, select your preferred headset as the playback device in the Game and Chat widgets. Both the Game and Chat playback devices must be the same in order to use Sonar ChatMix feature. 
Step 2: When your input devices are set in Sonar, you will be able to control the ChatMix via the ChatMix slider in the Sonar Mixer tab
Setup for Dual Endpoint Headsets (Arctis Pro Wireless, Arctis Pro + GameDAC, Arctis 9, Arctis 7, Arctis 5):
The way you will setup your device in Sonar will affect the ChatMix feature. In this case you have the two options: Option 1: use Sonar ChatMix through Sonar UI or Option 2: use ChatMix through your headset on-device wheel or GameDAC
Option 1: you want to use ChatMix through Sonar:
Step 1: In the Mixer tab, select your preferred headset as the playback device in the Game and Chat widgets. Both the Game and Chat playback devices must be the same in order to use Sonar ChatMix feature, we suggest to use Game endpoint for both. 
Option 2: you want to use ChatMix through your headset on-device wheel or GameDAC
Step 1: In the Mixer tab, select the game endpoint of your preferred headset as the playback device in the Game widget
Step 2: In the Mixer tab, select the chat endpoint of your preferred headset as the playback device in the Chat widget
