I have a sound blaster gc7 and it has a chatmix feature similar to what steelseries has on their DACs. The problem i'm having is gnome sound panel recognizes it as two outputs (bizarrely named "speaker" and headphones"), which in theory means I should be able to use the chatmix functionality. The chatmix knob itself works like it's supposed to, as does all the other functions. The problem is every program i've tried lists the output as "Sound Blaster GC7" with no option between the two different outs, as is the case for discord for example.

Is there a fix for this or am I just out of luck?

i have $100 in my steam wallet

but the games im looking to buy

steam:

• transport fever 2 $59.00

-starship troopers terran command $44.00

• trailmakers $36.00

deals i found through GG deals links:

• transport fever 2 $ 18-24

• starship troopers terran command $ 18-24

• trailmakers no difference

can i use the steam wallet money on the discount links found at GG deals?

are the discount links actual shops i have to buy the game from instead of through steam?

or can i just sign upto the link site, get a code, then apply code in steam to make purchase?

Just tried to start playing after a couple of weeks of straight work and now Elden Ring, Halo Infinite, and Resident Evil games aren't launching

Best error i was able to get was Halo Inifite telling me "incompatible OS" something about windows 10 1809?

Is anyone else experiencing this? I have tried Proton Hotfix, Experimental, GE 8.32 - GE 9.4 and all gave the same problem, instantly crashing after the window loads once EAC finishes loading. None EAC games just hang at the first window

Hello! My Honkers launcher wont load the current background picture on classic and the game fails to patch. Is something going on with the launcher?

My question is a reasonable one since I notice that other community's are complacent and not willing to do much in this digital age and for lack of a better term "They seem to enjoy paying money to end up getting pegged from these companies." So my question is that with my newfound respect for the linux community, what separates the linux platform from the mass complacent horde that us windows users are now.

I discovered this recently through an uploaded post on here I made to raise awareness on the ownership of games getting stripped from people (namely in canada) from examples such as Ubisoft literally rendering the game you purchased useless through licensing agreement through the EULA you sign with them upon signing up. However this does not excuse something you BOUGHT forcefully stolen from you. It is not a subscription model when purchased.

Hi, recently I had to reinstall Arch due to some problems and everything was working correctly until I tried to play a game with my controller (that used to work before reinstalling Arch) and I got no input.

Steam detects it as a PS3 controller, which is correct, and is mapped correctly, but when I try to use it in a game it doesn't do nothing.

I also tried with a DS4, but it seems that is mapped incorrectly in game (not in steam).

I have tried enabling and disabling Steam Input.

Does someone know how to fix this?

Can either be native or run with wine/proton.

Hello, I just recently got a pc and I have had an issue where, my Bluetooth audio will work fine for everything but games (at least those on steam) where it will cut in and out every few seconds getting very choppy. The headphones work fine on my laptop (not running Linux) and they are melomania m100s if that makes a difference although I have had the problem with a few Bluetooth headphones. Any help would be super appreciated, and thank you in advance for all of your time.

WARNING: discarding _NET_WM_PID 7231 as invalid for X11 window - use specialized XCB_X11_TO_PID function!

The application opens but will not display, this has happened to me on a few different distros and if anyone knows a solution to fix this oddity other than resorting to the system package version of steam then the help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm more leaning towards Nobara because of it having all the dependencies needed to reliably run Davinci Resolve and I'm really wanting to get back into making videos as well.

I've just become frustrated with Microsoft as a company over the past few months and would prefer to not support them anymore in every way that matters.

Does Nobara come with a software repository similar to what Mint has or would I need to be using the terminal or a web browser to install most of my software?

For contacts I've been fighting with my laptop for nearly two days trying to find a Linux distro that I could get my drivers to work on and that Linux distro was Ubuntu 18.04 I've been using it for a couple days and yeah I'm not going back to Windows if you've been having the same issue as I did where you couldn't get your driver's to work because you had a old card like I do and your card uses let's say Nvidia 390 or 340 drivers I strongly recommend Ubuntu 18.04 it's not that old but it's not that new it's the perfect in between all of my games I like to play have been working and the addition of graphic drivers have made a huge Improvement I'm glad I could easily get my second monitor to work

I'm on Debian with an RX 6800 gpu. All other games, native and proton, work fine. Hundreds of FPS. Insurgency Sandstorm works well too, and it uses unreal engine and EAC just like The Finals. Why is this game in particular not using my GPU?
