If you're like me, where you have a SteelSeries headset and recently moved to Linux, you may have found that your ChatMix dial no longer works due to a lack of drivers. This service aims to fix that, splitting the system's audio into two sinks, and allowing the ChatMix dial to control the volumes on those sinks.

Do note that this only affects newer headsets. Older ones split the audio channels in the headset, meaning the system sees two different audio devices by default. Newer ones not only require you to install SteelSeries' software, but to make an account in order to turn the feature on. That software doesn't exist on Linux.

I am both new to Linux, and as such am not well-experienced in creating services, and this is also the first time I've publicly released a piece of software. Expect bugs! Contributions are also welcome!

Also, just another disclaimer: I did see that people in the past have written Python scripts to solve this issue. They were either outdated, hard-coded device IDs, or something else such that they did not work on my system. I do know one of them required a dependency install (PyUSB), but I wanted to avoid installing unnecessary packages. This service is written in rust, and only relies on the standard library, so no dependencies required!

Hey yall,

I've landed on Cachyos for gaming and im enjoying it a lot. I mostly play pvp titles like Overwatch and Marvel Rivals, and while im getting smoother performance with cachy than windows, the only thing thats lagging behind a little is the fps.

I did read online that other people were having fps drops when playing like Marvel Rivals on linux for example. For people who play on a pc with higher specs, I just want to know how much of a drop of fps performance you have so I can guage how much I should upgrade my pc (which is happening very soon).

For a reference, my pc is pretty basic right now. My CPU is an amd I3 processor which is what im gonna upgrade first, and I have a nvidia geforce 1650, which I want to switch asap.

Hi all, I think we all know about the HDMI 2.1 situation with AMD GPUs on Linux. I use 1440p120 on my TV, so I thought I got away with it, but I just discovered last night that despite HDR "working", even 2.0 has a problem, revealed by Plasma 6.4's new HDR calibration tool.

My display is capable of 1000 nits full field, but with Plasma's tool over HDMI, there is a clear cutoff at 500 nits, even if I go down to 60Hz. Using the (in)famous CableMatters DP 1,4 ->HDMI adapter, despite being buggy, gives me a full 1000 nits with the calibration tool.

Can anyone confirm/deny similar behavior?

I've been using RTSS to fix poor frame pacing in PC games on Windows for years now, using frame start (early) limiting. I've recently gotten a Steam Deck, and the built-in limiter there seems to use late limiting, which results in less input lag but means most of my games have terrible frame-pacing. I would rather have increased input lag and better frame-pacing.

Is there any Linux equivalent of RTSS that can enforce this kind of framerate limiting on the Deck? I've tried using Mangohud to mixed results. I've basically not played a single game with a completely flat frametime graph.
