ROG Theta 7.1 Volume Issue

[ATOdinson]

Hi AT0dinson

Some effects can have an impact on sound, when listening to music I set to stereo (virtual surround off), when playing games I turn virtual surround on.

This gives me the best overall sound with the ROG Delta S Animate.

I'm not using any volume booster.

I wish I could at the very least have the 7.1 and stereo mode saved to a profile. Then I could have it auto switch when listening to music. But as it is, that setting is universal and not saved to the profile. Hell, just allow me to hotkey switching from stereo to 7.1! That would make things feel better.

Hey guys! I have this problem with my Theta 7.1 headphones. No matter what I do, I cant get all speakers work. In sound settings I can hear each speaker, but when I listen to music, I can hear only from front speakers. Can anyone help me?

Windows 11 Pro
Armoury Crate
Firmware 0039

That's because music is stereo content. If you open sonic studio 3, you can upsample audio to surround if you like but in all honestly it hurts the quality of the sound. Otherwise, you will only see all speakers fire up if you are listening to content specifically designed with surround sound. Most modern games certainly do.

I like your way of thinking AT0dinson, you could mention this in the "Make Headset Improvement Suggestions"" thread below.

Sorry, for now we are bound by Windows.
We already have a switch for you to change between 7.1 and stereo. However, you're need to change the mode first, then unplug and reconnect.

If the volume is too low, make sure you're on the mode that corresponds to the content. When the content is stereo, there's no need to push all 8 drivers. Switch to 7.1 only if you are playing content which supports it.

The toggle inside Armoury crate switches it without having to disconnect. I wonder why the switch works different.
