HeadsetControl VS Clight

I guessing it needs to be put into a state todo this? The program https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl can query the state of the Game/Chat mix dial. I pretty much just use this dial for Discord, so at minimum I want to have it so using the Game/Chat mix dial changes the volume of the Discord application. Ideal would be having a virtual sound that gets mixed back into the sound output.

For the arctis, you can likely use https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl I'm using it with the nova 7 and it has 4 built in equalizers which do the job for me. You miss out on built in chatmix like sonar has but you can implement it pretty easily using pulseaudio virtual audio devices and interfacing with headset control to get the chat mix level from the headset. If you want to send me a dm once you get your system set up I can send you over a private repo I have for it!

Same here. My Logitech gaming headset works great in Linux. I do have to use some third party thing to adjust the goofy LED colors and side channel volume, though.

For the headset, this is a bit more difficult, if and only if, you are looking for a full compatibility, meaning all the functionality you would have in Windows. I would recommend looking at HeadSetControl repository if you need a full control of your headset under Linux, else all basic functionality should be available on most of the Headset market (please verify using google).

I also used it in Ubuntu with this little cli-tool headsetcontrol from here https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl which works great with the G533. It also supports some other headsets, so it might be worth checking out.

Everything using Bluetooth should work, sometimes with a tiny bit of tweaking. If you want a bit more of functionality, look at https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl you will find a list of supported devices.

This is probably what you want https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl

I switched to linux a few weeks ago and talking with friends in discord is really annoying because of the sidetone. I've tried disabling it from alsamixer(there was no sidetone option) and HeadsetControl.

With my current headset, the problems I've had on Linux were the following: - Lack of battery notifications (mitigated with HeadsetControl) - Lack of surround settings - Can't use the programmable button

There is also Clight (https://github.com/FedeDP/Clight) if you want automatic backlight adjusting given ambient brightness. It supports external monitors through ddcutil C library and has many more features to offer.

Here are two suggestions from the Arch Wiki, try Clight or macbook-lighter. Clight looks to be continuously maintained, so I'd try that one first.

Clight can do that. See the config file.

Installed light, clight, clightd and acpilight

If you're using a laptop screen, there's Clight, which can turn your webcam into an ambient light sensor.

Clight is a lightweight C user daemon utility program that turns your webcam into a light sensor which it depends on to automatically adjust your screen’s display based on ambient light. Just like Redshift, Clight can manipulate the temperature of your screen and it derived inspiration from Calise.

Check out Clight. There's also a GUI for it.

The only downside to Clight? You need to build not only Clight and Clightd from source, but also 2 dependencies (libmodule and ddcutil), as well as the Clight-GUI if you want to use it. That is, unless you use Arch Linux / Manjaro (there are AUR packages available), NixOS, Exherbo or Void Linux, for which there are packages available.
