It’s an Arctis Nova 7. It’s intended to be used with a program called Steelseries GG that manages EQ profiles for the headset, as well as spatial audio, with some proprietary thing called Sonar. It also includes a mixer for managing multiple audio sources. I find the whole thing to be pretty nifty. But what I’m worried about is losing this functionality if/when I move from Windows to Linux, apparently that specific program doesn’t have Linux support. Does anyone have any experience with this or something similar?

    Everything works just fine sound wise but the chatwheel doesn’t work at all. So the changing the volume between your game and discord or some other chat app. Won’t work. Also you can set up their buttons and feedback sensitivity that can be done on windows and it will be saved in the hardware.

      chatwheel

      If it emits some signal the OS recognizes it’s possible to bind that to some action, hack a script.

        Maybe but the way it it works is the software creates a virtual mixer with two virtual sound devices that you set one to your game hand one to your chat program then the chat wheel balances between the two. The virtual sound devices are created by their software not the device driver. It could be done but I don’t think enough people are enough to write that code.
