Volume Controls No Worky

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Mar 2024 - 3:12pm

On KDE plasma, audio controls don’t scale properly. 0 out audio and then turn it up, no sound till 20, then stays the same volume until 50 when it’s suddenly max volume, weird stuff like that.

This happens using either my knob on my keyboard, headphone’s slider, or hot keys on keyboard. Through desktop panel slider, audio control works perfectly. Could it be a hardware issue with my razer keyboard and audeze headset?

Fedora 39, Suyu/Yuzu issues with dGPU

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Mar 2024 - 12:59pm

Running Fedora 39, I'm using the suyu mainline.appimage and it functions great, except for when I use my dGPU. The game loads to 0fps and stays on a black screen. This is with Vulkan, and the 4080 selected with the drop-down box under graphics.

If I reboot in dGPU mode instead of hybrid, it will use it successfully, so this eliminates it being a program error. My thought process is that it can see my dGPU, and try to use it but something prevents it from being able to initialize and use it properly, so I'm thinking it's a config change or launch argument that I need.

Unfortunately launching with DRI_PRIME=1 doesn't help.

Any thoughts?

Other possibly relevant info, using GNOME 45, Wayland, with VRR patched in. Steam games and other apps have no problems using the Nvidia card. Various older versions of Yuzu exhibit the same problem, no change there. If I use Suyu/Yuzu with the integrated AMD graphics, it works properly.

I would just reboot to dGPU mode and leave it at that but I run into other random system issues, like xone drivers not working and display problems under Wayland. That doesn't bother me because I see no reason to take it off hybrid, but it's part of the reason I'm looking to solve the initial issue because running straight Nvidia under Wayland seems more problematic.

Thanks.

Hello. I connected the pico 4 headset with alvr on linux. All works perfect except I have an audio problem.

By default there is no sound. But If I select the microphone input in gnome control panel as output there is sound but is at low volume.

If i not disable the mic in alvr setting I can hear my voice.

How I can tell alvr to use the output device?

Radeon RX 7000 series owners using Linux: little help needed

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Mar 2024 - 10:45am

Howdy! I work on a little project that analyses and parses Radeon PowerPlay Tables. Iif you remember Igor's MorePowerTool, it is something among that line. I am currently trying to understand whether the Radeon RX 7000 series exposes the pp_table file in the sysfs.

I do not own RX 7000 card myself to check by myself, but if you are a luck owner, would you please mind sharing the following:

  1. Check if pp_table file exists in /sys/class/drm/cardX/device (X is normally 0 or 1)
  2. If it does, copy the pp_table and share with yours truly
  3. Share the card maker & model name

A Simple script to create/handle named symbolic links to compatdata folders.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Mar 2024 - 10:18am

I often browse the compatdata drive_c folders of my Steam games, and manually make links to make it easier. I asked Copilot to write a quick Python script to automatically create named symlinks to the correct folders, and remove symlinks that point to a removed game. Just needed a quick manual fix and it's ready to go.

Steam Deck and Desktop Steam Beta fixes a Steam Play bug with Windows versions

Gaming on Linux - 25 Mar 2024 - 10:14am
Valve released a fresh Steam Beta Client update on March 22nd, and with it a bunch of bug fixes for both Steam Deck and Desktop Steam.

I just switched to Linux and i feel like i got a new PC.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Mar 2024 - 9:49am

I don't know why but Linux just fixed a lot of problems i had on Windows. For example my steam download speed on Windows sucks hard, 15MB/s max and stuttering a lot. I thought my SSD is just dying cuz i always had that issue on both win10 and 11. But after installing Nobara Linux i got really surprised because my download speed is 60MB/s without any stuttering.

Games also run much better which is weird tbh, i thought the performance is going to be a bit worse than windows. But after i tried Remnant 2 and Last Epoch i got surprised, i had MUCH more FPS on highest settings and less drops.

I'm making this post for anyone thinking about trying Linux. Just do it and check if its better or worse than windows for you. For me it's a gamechanger and i dont even think about using windows again.

how do I pass launch options under bottles?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Mar 2024 - 6:30am

"sv_cheats is read only" is the error I get in RealRTCW. To fix this on steam, you use "+set sv_cheats 1" but I am not sure how in Bottles.

the way I had tried is

  1. Press 3 dots (in the programs list)
  2. Click "Change launch options..."
  3. Under command arguments, I enter "+set sv_cheats 1"
  4. Then press apply

It doesn't work, and I don't if the game is ignoring the launch options or if bottles doesn't see it.

PlayStation Access Controller on Ubuntu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Mar 2024 - 6:21am

Anyone gotten the Playstation Access Controller to work on Linux? (Ubuntu 23.10, 6.5 kernel)

https://preview.redd.it/vn1sacw80fqc1.png?width=942&format=png&auto=webp&s=62fa950ec28835314654e90719b42865ed12b5e2

Most of the buttons on it don't work. The only buttons that do work are the joystick, the 5, the 7, and the center X button, but the rest of the buttons don't work. I don't see any output from them in `evtest`.

Here's the lsusb report
