Der Arctis Sound Manager wurde in Version 1.7.1 veröffentlicht.
Das Tool verwaltet unter Linux die Audio-Einstellungen von SteelSeries-Arctis-Headsets, etwa Mikrofon-EQ, Filter-Ketten und die Bildschirmanzeige des GameDAC. Nach Version 1.7.0 mit dem Wechsel auf hidraw folgt nun ein Update für das Spatial Audio.
Das Panel zeigt den Hörer von oben mit sieben virtuellen Lautsprechern, deren Pegel sich per Klick anpassen lassen. Neu sind außerdem ein Kopfhörer-/Lautsprecher-Schalter und Spatial-Einstellungen pro Preset. Zudem wurde der ChatMix beim Arctis 9 korrigiert.
Added
- Spatial Audio looks and works like Sonar’s. The panel now shows the listener from above with the seven virtual speakers around the head: click one to raise or lower it (−12 to +6 dB) — the centre for dialogue, the rear speakers for footsteps. Immersion and Distance sit next to it under “Tuning”.
- Headphones / Speakers switch. Headphones is the virtual surround you know. Speakers skips the headphone render and folds the 7.1 to stereo with your speaker levels, for stereo speakers. A 5.1/7.1 output still gets the channels as they are, now with your speaker levels applied.
- Spatial settings per preset. The ⋮ menu saves Immersion, Distance and the speaker levels for the active preset or for all presets; a preset without its own uses the common ones. Switching presets — from the EQ page, the tray or the automatic game preset — brings its settings along. The on/off switch stays the same for every preset.
Changed
- Moving a Spatial slider no longer cuts the sound. Immersion, Distance and the speaker levels are set on the running audio chain instead of restarting it. Only taking Distance to or from 0 still restarts it.
Fixed
- Arctis 9: ChatMix was read backwards (#352, #331). A centred dial showed 0 % on both channels and any turn sent one side to 100 %.
- Nova Pro Wireless, Nova Pro Omni, Nova Elite: settings changed on the base station or in GG are no longer overwritten at start (#359, #331). ASM now takes the base’s own values at start instead of replaying its settings file over them.
- The Output device you picked is kept when it disappears for a while (#356). A monitor going to sleep made ASM save the fallback as your choice; the channel now goes back to your device when it returns. Thanks @zaxen.
- With Passthrough on, the Output node is named like the active one (#357) instead of “Sonar EQ (bypass)”.
- The bug report names the USB node even when it cannot be read.
