Der Arctis Sound Manager wurde in Version 1.4.27 veröffentlicht.
Nach Version 1.4.26 bringt dieses Update Unterstützung für das SteelSeries Arctis 5 (2018) mit vollem Mixer (Game/Chat-Kanäle, Sonar-EQ, HeSuVi), aber ohne Batterie-, ANC- oder Sidetone-Steuerung, da das Headset kein Herstellerprotokoll besitzt. Der Equalizer-Tab hat zudem eine eigene Ausgabegerät-Auswahl für Game, Chat, Media und Aux erhalten. Behoben wurde unter anderem, dass das Lautstärkerad der Nova Pro Basisstation zwar ausgelesen, aber nie angewendet wurde, sowie ein Problem, durch das Releases seit v1.4.25 unbemerkt nicht im PPA ankamen.
Added
- The Equalizer tab now has its own output-device picker for Game, Chat, Media and Aux, next to the EQ it already lets you tune — the same place the Output channel’s own picker already was. The “send this channel elsewhere” combo that used to live on the Channels page is retired for all five cards. (#262)
- The Channels page’s Aux add/remove button is now a “Channels ▾” menu with a checkbox per channel that can be shown or hidden: Aux (unchanged) and Output, a purely cosmetic toggle since Output isn’t a channel the daemon creates or tears down. (#262)
- Support for the SteelSeries Arctis 5 (2018). This headset has no vendor command protocol at all — SteelSeries’ own specification confirms its one HID interface is a standard Consumer Control page, not a vendor one — so there’s no battery, ANC or sidetone to control, but the full mixer (Game/Chat channels, Sonar EQ, HeSuVi) now works, since none of that needs the HID conversation. (#266)
Fixed
- The ChatMix “Include in ChatMix” checkbox row on Media/Aux pushed everything below it down relative to Game/Chat, which never got that row at all — the row now stays in every card’s layout at a fixed height, only the checkbox itself is hidden where it doesn’t apply. (#264)
- The station volume dial (Nova Pro’s DAC master wheel) was read from HID status but never applied to any PipeWire sink, and the shared scaling helper flipped direction on inverted ranges, cancelling out its own fix — both confirmed against real Nova Pro Wireless hardware. Contributed by @AnimeKittyFang. (#255)
- Releases were silently failing to reach the PPA since v1.4.25. The CI job signed uploads with whichever GPG key
gpghappened to list first out of more than one in the signing secret — not always the one registered on Launchpad — so dput reported success while Launchpad rejected the package downstream, with nothing surfacing the gap. The workflow now pins the exact registered fingerprint and fails loudly if it’s missing. (#263)
