@evilhamsterman 2 ай бұрын

Sonar is shit, it maps the volume control to only control the "game" volume not the master volume, because who wants to control the volume of things like music and zoom. If you remove your Steel series audio device it automatically switches to something else but never switches back to the Steel series device like it's supposed to when it's reconnected. The idea is great, but there're annoying details that either just don't work or they made brain dead stupid decisions about.

I configured it to how I like it and it works perfectly fine. Only had one issue in cs2, where I got confused which site the c4 was at on nuke but that was because I heard the pitch wrong, so that was a me issue.
