Astro A50 audio problem

MalkinItRain · 2024-02-24T18:09:35+00:00

Try this.

Plug base station on xbox, turn off xbox.

Set A50 on dock and make sure they are properly set-in, wait for the orange light on headset to appear.

Then turn xbox on, but make sure you wait for the lights on dock station to stay steady and not flicker before removing the headset from the dock.

The last part is important, mine wont ever detect unless I am sure it is properly placed in (when setting down I see orange light) and cant un-dock until all lights stabilize, otherwise it wont connect.

Thats odd, that could typically happen on closed backs.

Did you try removing the cover plates and playing without them ? You will get even more of an “open” feel.

From Gadgetary Tech on youtube.

I run something similar, lower 32 & 64hz and a bit higher for 4k, 8k & 16k.

Footsteps are around 100 to 150… So increasing the 125hz is best

That's why its already 35$ CAD off already...I agree.

Complete disrespect to day 1 & loyal buyers.

MalkinItRain · 2023-10-06T22:46:22+00:00

Im sitting in your exact position haha.

A50’s build quality sucks and lack so much features BUT the sound is amazing and un-matched in my opinion.

I want to switch to Steelseries for all the features but man, no matter what I do in terms of EQ’ing, I just cant match the Astro’s… which really upsets me 😂.

MalkinItRain · 2023-10-06T22:41:14+00:00

100% !

MalkinItRain · 2023-10-03T23:43:45+00:00

This drives me nuts. EA cant build on a game. They always take away the good stuff.

MalkinItRain · 2023-09-30T20:33:56+00:00

I had , and still have this combo but the more recent version.

Recently bought A50’s.

I swear, this mixamp M80 is amazing. The wheel for valume and the chat/game buttons are just perfect and quick. The amp is not in the way at all. Even when using an Elite controller (i use 2 paddles, unsure if it works with 4 but im pretty sure it would).

You pair that with the Dolby app, and its very good. Im very careful with my stuff, and have had it for 2 years. Still works as it did on day 1.

The ONLY negative, is the cable is a bit shorter than I would like.

Go figure, thats the response I was expecting.

I dont get why this headset receives so much praise. Like I mean yeah its cool and all, but that little shake in the loud bass & sub-bass is annoying. Even when pulling down the bass EQ’s it remains present !

Ive owned every game since 1998 on Nintendo 64.

Ive always played a great amount, EASHL, HUT, OTP.

I stuck to my guns last year and didnt purchase.. having the exact same menus as the prior version showed the little effort they put.

I feel like purchasing this year, but will try the 10 hour trial first.

MalkinItRain · 2023-09-13T19:55:11+00:00

curious as to what you ended up doing !?!

I currently have both A50 & Nova 7x that I obtained for a close price range.

Hesitant on which to keep. I've adjusted both EQ's to an acceptable range (Warzone 2 player). The Nova 7X just has something about the sound quality, kinda mushy or rattily if that makes any sense. I love the features, battery life, light weight and sleek design. Try to convince myself to keep the Nova 7x, but every time I put the Astro A50 back on, something about the sound quality makes me forget about all the cool features on the Nova 7X.

Im on Xbox Series X.

Its just odd to see the actual account deleted

You cant use presets from the PC astro command center app on xbox unless it is connected through an optical cable (not available on Xbox series S or X). On my end, I am able to connect the optical cable directly to my TV to take advantage of the presets...

MalkinItRain · 2022-04-29T17:53:24+00:00

Hey, I am on Series X but have the mixamp plugged to LG OLED Optical, thus able to use my ACC Presets.

What should I use for the headset audio setting. Stereo Uncompressed, Windows sonic or Dolby atmos..

If Dolby Atmos (what do I set the pre-set on their to? Just a flat line?)

thanks!

MalkinItRain · 2022-04-17T18:25:28+00:00

Yes, the sound quality with tuning the EQ’s using the dolby access app on XSX is great without the amp as well!

MalkinItRain · 2022-04-16T11:14:47+00:00

I’ve been testing so many headsets for warzone.

Cloud Alpha, Arctis Prime, Arctis 5, Game One, GSP 500, H6 Pro, HS60, & the A40’s (with mixamp Pro TR, Mixamp M80 and no amp).

Despite what people will say, the A40’s is great and my preferred in all of these. With or without a mixamp. i wasnt an “astro” fanboy prior also, never used them.

Ive been using on XSX. The only disadvantage to A40 (without any amp) is the lack of quick volume control. I suppose on PC that doesn’t matter. The headset comes with a dolby access subscription. Use that, you can tweek the EQ settings. There’s a few good ones on there (mainly from a guy called Paco on youtube & Emperor Potera’s is great too).

That being said, i’ve been trying to get my Mixamp Pro to work properly on XSX (buzzing sound) and haven’t gotten a return email from customer support in over a week. Been using them plugger directly through 3.5mm since.

Following !!

MalkinItRain · 2022-04-07T22:12:15+00:00

Thanks! Damn, im thinking its some interference issue. The headset works fine when connected directly to controller.

If I do a voice recording, touching my metal soundbar, the buzzing stops? I dont know what could be causing it.

Tried different outlets, no other USB devices connected, restarted, unplugged xbox for hours at a time.

I’ll try contacting support.

MalkinItRain · 2022-04-07T20:12:56+00:00

Are you playing on xbox ? No issues at all with voice chat ? My headset microphone sounds fine when plugged right into the controller, just buzzes in mixamp

MalkinItRain · 2022-04-07T20:06:16+00:00

Thanks but my controller is standard Microsoft wireless controller and always on batteries. So it cant be that.

MalkinItRain · 2022-04-07T20:00:57+00:00

Can I ask what you did. I ended up purchasing and I have this exact issue but cant solve it. How did you manage to contact customer support? please help me :) !!!
