Step 2. Check firmware

You have set the base station and the volume of the microphone correctly, but the gaming headset still does not work? Then the problem is probably with the software. It may be that the firmware of the gaming headset is no longer up-to-date, it needs to be updated. If the firmware is up-to-date, it can also be found in the software audio settings. You adjust this via the Astro Gaming software.
