goxlr-on-linux VS HeadsetControl

The install script that alleges support of goxlr is not officially supported in Manjaro and not available from AUR and does not appear to be working too well https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/issues

He was trying to install goxlr on linux. It's nothing official, just a hack written by two people to make some unsupported hardware device work on linux.

These commands must be executed in the console. To do this, open the terminal, paste the following lines and press enter: wget https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/raw/main/install.sh sudo chmod +x ./install.sh sudo ./install.sh

curl https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/raw/main/install.sh | sh

The goXLR script/Github repo that was featured? They added clearer noob-resistant instructions for how to download an execute the script. https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/commit/45fbb38c2b18e2c0f9f99ce4d47ecfebcb7d562a

Yes: https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/commit/45fbb38c2b18e2c0f9f99ce4d47ecfebcb7d562a

On a positive note https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux updated their README.md

To be fair, if you go to the github page of that goxlr-on-linux repo and look at the hyperlink to the "install.sh" in the file listing, it does look like a url to download the actual script:

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
