PC Audio Setup for Audio Radar | Headset and Speakers with the Free App

PC Setup Guide | Headset, Speakers and Multiple Outputs

You don't need Voicemeeter anymore! The free Audio Radar desktop app handles all of this now. It sends game audio to your light bars and your headset or speakers at the same time, no extra software.

Already have Voicemeeter installed? Close it fully before you install the app, the two conflict.

What you need

  • 64-bit Windows 10 or 11
  • A free USB port
  • A data-capable USB-C cable (charge-only cables look the same and won't work)

Audio Radar 2.0

  1. Plug in both cables from the box. The one marked PC on the connector goes to your computer (any USB port is fine). The one marked Power goes to the power supply.
  2. Download the app at audioradar.com/start and install it.
  3. The guided setup in the app takes it from there.

The original Audio Radar (Command Center)

  1. Update your firmware first. In the free Audio Radar mobile app (iOS or Android), connect to your Command Center over Bluetooth and install firmware v1.3.2 or later. Keep the USB-C cable unplugged from your PC while you do this, the phone can't see the Command Center while it's connected to a computer. Step-by-step update guide
  2. Take Audio Radar out of your HDMI chain completely. Connect your displays the way they were before Audio Radar, and keep the Command Center on wall power.
  3. Connect the Command Center to your PC with a data-capable USB-C cable.
  4. Download the app at audioradar.com/start, install it, and follow the guided setup.

Going back to console later? Just reconnect HDMI and everything works the way it did before.

Discord or music lighting up the bars?

Set Discord's output device (or your voice chat app's) to your headset or speakers, not Audio Radar. Your game stays on Audio Radar, so only game sounds reach the lights.
