cue-sdk VS HeadsetControl

Depends on the hardware. Razer has Chroma https://developer.razer.com/chroma/ Corsair has CUE SDK https://corsairofficial.github.io/cue-sdk/ MSI has Mystic Light - It uses ambient link to hook up to games but you might have to apply to get access to it.

The corsair cue-sdk is c/c++ and available on github. There is also a wrapper someone made for dotnet if you prefer c#.

Yes, but you have to program it yourself: https://github.com/CorsairOfficial/cue-sdk

If you are familiar with coding, you may check out the SDK https://corsairofficial.github.io/cue-sdk/

unless you're saying that for some reason, profiles executed by the utility do not behave the same as profiles executed by control applet. far as I can tell by the way their protocols work, most recent client takes precedence until it relinquishes control, or you might have to manually set priority.

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
