Der Arctis Sound Manager wurde in Version 1.4.4 veröffentlicht, kurz nach den kürzlich vorgestellten Versionen 1.4.2 und 1.4.3.

Das Tool verwaltet unter Linux die Audio-Einstellungen von SteelSeries-Arctis-Headsets, etwa Mikrofon-Rauschunterdrückung, externes Output-Routing und weitere Audio-Funktionen.

Die neue Version behebt fünf Fehler, darunter ein defektes GameDAC-Display bei kabelgebundenen Nova-Pro-Geräten und ein nicht abschaltbarer Sidetone beim Nova Elite. Zusätzlich wurden SteamOS-Berechtigungsreparaturen und die USB-Diagnose verbessert.

Fixed

• Wired GameDAC Display Problem: The right half of the screen on wired Nova Pro units wasn’t updating. The fix involved treating unacknowledged USB reports as successfully delivered rather than retrying them, ensuring all frame strips transmit completely.
• Nova Elite Sidetone Control: Sidetone couldn’t be disabled on Nova Elite - the lowest setting was level 1 instead of silence. The on/off state byte now properly follows user settings and persists across reconnections.
• SteamOS Audio Client Permissions: A repair routine for restricted audio clients on SteamOS never functioned due to incorrect command formation. The fix corrects the command structure and improves error logging visibility.
• Uninstall Script Failure: The documented one-liner installation command failed when piped to bash due to assumptions about script file location.
• Arch Update Recommendation: Users received inapplicable update commands for AUR-installed packages.

Changed

• USB access diagnostics now read directly from the kernel instead of userspace libraries, providing more accurate permissions problem identification in bug reports.
