SteelSeries Arctis 9 Wireless (No Chat, Only Game)
Recently I installed Linux Mint 20.1 to tinker with and I was seeing only 1 sound device coming from my Arctis 9. I tried following fixes such as the one listed here: https://brokkr.net/2018/05/22/fixing-the-steelseries-arctis-7-outputs-on-ubuntu-18-04-pulseaudio-11/ But that didn't help.
I came here to see who might have had anything similar but can't find much but if I had to pick the closest it would be #570 because this issue is similar where there are two Steelseries devices showing up in lsusb, only difference are the IDs. There's 12c2
which seems to be the dongle and 12c4
which is the sound device that pulseaudio references.
What's interesting is that initially, the stereo device use the "Chat" volume portion of these headphones. Then I saw issue #1091 (closed) where they were asked to change the profile_set to "usb-gaming-headset.conf". This didn't enable the second device but now it uses the "Game" volume portion of the headphones. I'm showing the pactl list cards
portion of the Steelseries when it used the chat volume and when it used the game volume. Don't know if they'd be of use.
If there's any other info I could provide please let me know. You might have to explain to me how I can provide such info since Linux is not my strong point
I know you guys have asked people for their amixer
outputs but mine just outputs amixer: Mixer hw:2 load error: Invalid argument
. And I'm sure I am using the right ID
