Thanks to Tanu Kaskinen 2 on the Pulseaudio discussion mailing list 3 for all advice on making this headset play with Pulseaudio.Although the SteelSeries Arctis 7P is built mainly for PlayStation consoles (hence the “P” designation), it works flawlessly on other platforms as well such as PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox consoles, and Android devices. You might also have to open alsamixer on command line and adjust volume level for the stereo channel to 100% (the stereo channel hardware mixer is not controlled by Pulseaudio due to the limitation). If there are any problems getting the device to show up in sound settings, open pavucontrol (install it if it isn't already) and in Configuration select "Analog mono output + Analog stereo output + Analog mono input" for the Steelseries headset. Unfortunately it also means that Pulseaudio can't control the hardware volume of the stereo device.Īfter creating the above, the headset should be recognized whenever you plug it in. This is to trick pulse to show the stereo device anyway. The reason for only a section in the stereo file is that the mixer devices are named the same (PCM for both stereo and mono device). usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/nfĭescription-key = analog-output-headphones usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/nf usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/nfĭescription-key = analog-input-microphone-headset The custom Profile 1 makes it possible to select both the stereo device and mono device separately in different applications. Output-mappings = analog-mono analog-stereo Paths-output = steelseries-arctis-output-stereo Paths-output = steelseries-arctis-output-mono See nf for an explanation on the directives used here. This headset has one mono output, one stereo output and one mono input.

Use the device id to set an udev rule at the end of The above device id is same for all Steelseries Arctis 7 headsets (If we are lucky, the Arctis 5 has the same id). The following method now works to get all devices to show automatically in Pulseaudio and Gnome sound settings when plugging in the device.Ĭheck the device id of the headset with the following command:īus 003 Device 003: ID 1038:1260 SteelSeries ApS

Update The below changes are now committed to pulseaudio next branch and will eventually arrive with a new version of pulseaudio to most linux distributions. The downside is that you manually have to enable it. The above command is the fastest way to get the headset to work. Also, the card number could be different depending on how many sound cards there already are in the PC. If the headset isn't connected, there might be issues when running the command. You need to script this command or run it manually, because you can't add it permanently. The second number stands for the stereo sound output device on the card. You need to replace the first number with the number of the sound card, which you can find with "aplay -l". Pacmd load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,1 The easiest way to get the headset working as intended, is to issue the following command: This is the output of "amixer -c1":Ĭapabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joinedĬapabilities: cvolume cvolume-joined cswitch cswitch-joined This is because the headset uses a non-supported configuration with two output devices with the same name (PCM, 0 and PCM, 1). Only the mono device (chat output) and microphone is visible. Use alsamixer on command line to adjust all volume levels for the headset to 100% (the two outputs and one input).īut Pulseaudio has some issues. You do have to adjust sound levels, at least the mic has too low sound level. It works fine in Alsa, the device is recognized. I've got the Arctis 7 model and of course I'm using it with Linux. Arctis 5 is basically the same without wireless (only USB connection). The last one is the most expensive and has wireless connection. There are three models, Arctis 3, 5 and 7.
