TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Party Chat members are complaining about my outbound microphone volume level being too low or too high. Is there something wrong with my headset?

   • On a recent release for Xbox, you can now control the individual volume of people in your party. Please have your party members check to see if they have your volume level set too low or too high. Sometimes people who have this level turned up too high or too low are experiencing inconveniences like this.

2. My lower dial is no longer controlling the volume of incoming chat audio. Is there anything I can do about this?

   • If the lower dial on your Stealth 600 Gen 2 Xbox is not functioning as it should, please reach out to our support team for assistance with troubleshooting.

3. My headset sounds are abnormal, it didn’t sound like this before. What could be going on here?

   • Please double check to ensure you have not left the Superhuman Hearing option on.
     Superhuman Hearing (SHH) is a situational feature designed to prioritize certain sounds to give you the edge in intense gaming scenarios. This should not be left on all the time.

   • Please connect your headset to your preferred version of the Audio Hub. From there, Mplease check to see if you have the option for SHH enabled. Disabling this feature should return your audio back to its preferred state.

4. My headset’s LED will not light up at all, even when charged. It seems completely dead. MWhat can I do about that?

   • If possible, please use a different USB cable and a different USB port — including any USB Wall Adapters — to charge the headset. Leave the headset to charge for an extended period, ideally overnight.

5. My audio/mic has connection issues and produces static or other abnormalities. What’s going on here?

   • A common cause of this is having your wireless router close to your console, or other wireless devices close as well. Even if you console is hardwired, the router is still broadcasting a wireless signal, which can cause network congestion and audio/mic glitching, as well as connection issues. We recommend keeping a minimum distance of 10 feet between your router/wireless- devices and console to avoid issues.

6. My headset keeps shutting off on its own when no audio is playing.

   • In order to conserve battery life, your headset will power off after no audio is played Mthrough it for 10 consecutive minutes. This is a fixed feature and cannot be adjusted.
   • This feature helps to save battery life – if you forget to power the headset off for the night after a long gaming session, you will only lose a few minutes of battery life, not a whole night’s worth.
   • To easily avoid the Auto-Shutdown feature, you can keep some music playing in the background, like the game’s soundtrack. The headset will detect the audio and will not engage the Auto Shutdown feature. Please note that mic input alone will not avoid the Auto-Shutdown feature.

7. My Stealth Stealth 600 Gen 2 Xbox headset is stuck with its LED always on, but I can’t turn it off and I get no sound. What can I do to get it working again?
   Please try out the following:

   • Press and hold down the Xbox Pairing Button + Mode Button on your headset for 20 seconds. This is a very long press, so please make sure that you do not release it early.
     Holding that button down too long is better than too short. 1.

   • This should hard reset the headset and may clear up what you are experiencing.

   • After performing that hard-reset, make an attempt at updating the headset via the Audio Hub for Windows or MacOS.
