Using Separate Audio & Mic Ports (Desktop PCs)
Many desktop PCs have:
One 3.5mm port for audio output
One 3.5mm port for microphone input
The Arctis Nova 1 PC version includes a dual 3.5mm “Y” extension cable that splits:
One plug for audio
One plug for a microphone
This ensures compatibility with traditional desktop sound cards.
Important: PC vs Console Versions
The PC version includes the dual 3.5mm Y extension cable.
The console versions do not include the Y cable in the box.
If your PC requires separate mic and audio ports and you purchased the console version, you will need a compatible 3.5mm splitter cable.
If your mic is not working on PC
Make sure you are using the Y splitter (if required).
Confirm the mic plug is connected to the microphone port (usually pink).
Check your sound settings to ensure the correct input device is selected.
