SET THE RIGHT BALANCE
Video game victories may mean achieving 100% completion or taking down up to 99 players Battle Royale-style, and to some, victory instead lies in the hours of joy and amusement the chosen game gives.
GameVoice Mix gives gamers the freedom and choice on how they want to play and communicate.

WHAT IS GAMEVOICE MIX?
INSTANT GAME AND CHAT VOLUME ADJUSTMENTS
GameVoice Mix is a versatile audio feature that has been specially-designed by our in-house engineers to enable gamers to quickly modify and balance the volume level between in-game’s background music and ongoing voice chat on dedicated channels.
Effortlessly find the perfect balance between two audio sources and focus on what truly matters–the gameplay.
HOW DOES GAMEVOICE MIX WORK?
ONE-HANDED FEATURE ACTIVATION
Whether it’s a flick of a thumb or a two-finger knob turn, GameVoice Mix can be easily activated even when you’re knee-deep in action.
TAP TO ACTIVATE
Reach over and activate GameVoice Mix by simply pressing a button*. That’s it. No multi-screen settings to click through and no need to place your controller down just to hear or speak better.
*Controls vary in different products
EASY BALANCING
When you need to hear your team or friends a little better, turn the knob to the right to reduce game audio while increasing the overall chat volume. Turn the knob to the left to reduce the volume of background chatter while increasing the game audio.
HOW CAN GAMEVOICE MIX HELP?
INTUITIVE GAMING EXPERIENCE
Shift from traditional ways of gaming and unlock new creative ways to play and communicate when you have GameVoice Mix activated. Dive deeper into storylines and explore further into virtual sandboxes when you place your full attention into the game and online communication.
With GameVoice Mix, we’re able to not only simplify the way you socialize with teammates or friends online, but also help gamers reduce the moments and duration needed to make volume adjustments in the midst of a game, which may cause possible poor gameplay, or worse, losing the game entirely.
