It is working by tweaking pulseaudio. I'm quite sure the same problem applies to Arctis series 5, too (based on what people have been discussing on the Internet). <br> <br> </div> Now I'm wondering if anyone know if something must be changed on pulseaudio side or in alsa to make it work automatically when attaching the headset. <br> <br> </div> When attaching the headset, there is only a mono analog output device shown in Gnome sound settings. This headset has kind of a separate voice channel that is meant for adjusting voice chat level separately. This works fine, but of course it would be nice to have the stereo device working as well. Now I have to run pacmd to make the stereo channel visible.<br> <br> </div> Alsa shows both devices:<br> </div> aplay -l<br> <br> card 1: S7 [SteelSeries Arctis 7], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]<br> Subdevices: 1/1<br> Subdevice #0: subdevice #0<br> card 1: S7 [SteelSeries Arctis 7], device 1: USB Audio [USB Audio #1]<br> Subdevices: 1/1<br> Subdevice #0: subdevice #0<br> <div><br> </div> <div>The first device is the mono device.

The profile name for the stereo device is empty, but the stereo device can be selected and is working fine (also the mono device is still working and can be adjusted on its separate volume control on the headset, i.e. perfect). <br> <br> </div> <div>The sound level is too low, though, so it must be turned to max in alsamixer.<br> </div> <div><br> <br> </div> <div>Another thing that I tried was to swap the devices in alsa by setting the following in /etc<br> </div> <div> <div>/asound.conf<br> <br> defaults.pcm.card 1<br> defaults.pcm.device 1<br> <br> </div> <div>Now the stereo device card is automatically visible in sound settings (with a proper name). However, if the USB headset is not attached to the computer, this setting causes that there is no sound at all after booting the computer.<br> </div> <div><br> </div> <div>So in conclusion, has anyone any idea how to pursue this? Ideally, I would like the headset to just work when attaching it (now I just run a script with the pacmd row). Is it a pulseaudio problem or is there something that needs to be adjusted (or patched) in alsa?<br> </div> <div><br> <div> <div><br clear="all"> <div> <div> <div class="gmail_signature"> <div dir="ltr"> <div> <div dir="ltr"> <div>--<br> <span>Johan Heikkilä<br> </span></div> <span><<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:johan.heikkila@gmail.com" target="_blank">johan.heikkila@gmail.com</a>><br> </span> <div><span> GSM: +358 50 589 33 22<br> </span>PGP fingerprint: <span><span><span>716B</span><span>1611</span><span>DAC9</span><span>267C</span><span>E40C</span></span><span><span>F90D</span><span>6BC2</span><span>86B9</span><span>F0FA</span><span>6FD3</span></span></span></div> <div>PGP signature: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://keybase.io/johanh/pgp_keys.asc" target="_blank">https://keybase.io/johanh/pgp_keys.asc</a><br> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <br> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <br> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:pulseaudio-discuss@lists.freedesktop.org">pulseaudio-discuss@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss</a> </pre> </blockquote> <p><br> </p> </body> </html>
