How do I update my Astro a40?

Answered by Edward Huber

To update your Astro A40 headset, you will need to connect it to your PC using a micro USB cable. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Start by ensuring that your PC is turned on and connected to the internet. This is important as the Astro Command Center requires an internet connection to check for and download firmware updates.

2. Take the micro USB cable that came with your Astro A40 headset and connect one end to the USB port on your PC.

3. Next, take the other end of the micro USB cable and connect it to the port on your Astro MixAmp. The MixAmp is the device that you use to control the audio settings of your headset.

4. Once the MixAmp is connected to your PC, open the Astro Command Center software. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it from the Astro website.

5. After launching the Astro Command Center, you should see the software detecting your MixAmp. The details of your MixAmp settings should be displayed on the screen.

6. Look for a message at the top of the Astro Command Center screen indicating that a firmware update is available for your MixAmp. Click on this message to proceed with the update process.

7. The software will guide you through the firmware update process, which may involve downloading the latest firmware version from the internet and installing it on your MixAmp. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully and be patient as the update process may take a few minutes.

8. Once the firmware update is complete, you may need to disconnect and reconnect your MixAmp from your PC to ensure that the changes take effect.

That’s it! Your Astro A40 headset should now be updated with the latest firmware version. You can now enjoy enhanced performance and any new features that the update may have brought.

Remember, it’s always a good idea to keep your headset firmware up to date to ensure compatibility with the latest games and software updates. Regular firmware updates can also address any bugs or issues that may have been present in previous versions.

If you encounter any difficulties during the update process or have any questions, it’s recommended to consult the official Astro support documentation or reach out to their customer support for assistance.
