SteelSeries GG with ArmA III

[=SWF= Spartan0536]

If you are running a SteelSeries headset their GG program is critical to getting the most out of it, hands down. It's a good program with a few nuances but I highly recommend it.

HOWEVER at least in my experience it HATES working with ArmA III, ArmA Reforger is no problem, in fact the only game that's ever given me issues is ArmA III.

I tested both modded to hell and unmodded, its the same issue either way, I go to shoot and I hear no gunshot, just some distant "crack"

I made sure the headset had the proper windows settings such as "Allow Applications to take exclusive control of this device" and "Give Exclusive mode applications priority", I also made sure in game it was set to SteelSeries SONAR GAMING. I did easily get it to work by just selecting the Arctis Nova Pro Headset selection but that made the audio sound really weak and distant.

Here is the kicker, by just switching the Audio Selection to STEELSERIES SONAR MEDIA, everything worked FLAWLESSLY. I don't know why its processing the games audio differently under MEDIA and not GAME but it is, at least for me.

Hopefully this ends up helping someone, either now or in the future.
