Sonar has always aimed to optimize audio settings for different sound sources. From gameplay and team coordination to music and streaming, each element demands unique fine-tuning.
We started with separate Game and Chat output channels, then added Media and Aux to allow even more options for you to create your tailored audio experience.
However, another important goal for us is always to ensure that Sonar makes studio grade audio accessible, and more options isn’t always better.
In Sonar, you can now enable and disable Media and Aux channels in a few clicks.
This customization lets you configure your Sonar mixer to suit your needs. Focus solely on Game and Chat; add Media later; or use all channels—it's all up to you.
Disabling a channel also removes it from the Windows taskbar audio section, streamlining your audio interface.
How to Enable Media and AUX Channels in Sonar
Media and AUX channels aren’t turned on by default, so if you want to use them, you’ll need to activate them manually. Don’t worry—it’s quick and easy.
Start by opening the Sonar Mixer. Then, on the right just click on + Add media channel (or + Add aux channel) That’s it! You’ve now added more flexibility to your audio setup.
