Latest pulseaudio release lacks proper support for SteelSeries headsets. Fix for these issues are already merged upstream but did not make the 12.2 release. According to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1758736 These 3 patches are needed: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=83675b3745c64bd738400eae44eb4daa195ed88a https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=fe6a9a8f59932f29cc77eac2a7e2c6bd07c8c7d0 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=3454c19f3c277d5d0099f17e7ebf5d2005afa4b0 I recently acquired a SteelSeries Arctis 7 and can confirm the 3 commits are enough to make it work properly.
PR: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/12854
pulseaudio-13.0 was released yesterday, I would then simply bump to it directly to get this and many other fixes
Yeah, it makes sense.
