Operating Instructions

• Game Volume: Use the dedicated game volume buttons (- / + with gamepad icon) to adjust the in-game audio level.
• Bluetooth Device Volume: Use the dedicated Bluetooth volume buttons (- / + with phone icon) to adjust the audio level from your connected smartphone (e.g., Discord call, music).
• Headset Volume: The overall headset volume is controlled by the mixer's main volume output, which is a mix of the game and Bluetooth audio.

Microphone Control

The mixer allows you to control your microphone:

• Microphone On/Off: Press the microphone button (with mic icon) to toggle your microphone on or off. This is useful for muting yourself during chat without affecting game audio.

Using with Discord/Voice Chat
