Arctis Sound Manager has been released in version 1.3.0.
The tool manages audio settings for SteelSeries Arctis headsets on Linux, including microphone noise cancellation, external output routing and other audio features.
Shortly after version 1.2.34, this release brings a major new feature called Clips: an always-on screen recording function that captures the last thirty seconds, with each Sonar channel on its own audio track. The app also no longer asks whether audio should go through Sonar - it just routes it automatically when the headset connects.
Added
- Clips: New screen recording feature by @Denkiyaa. Captures the last thirty seconds at all times, with each Sonar channel on its own audio track. Includes a library grid, a timeline-based editor with per-channel mixer controls, customizable frame rates (30/60 fps), and export to MP4.
- Change capture sources without terminal commands, plus new dedicated UI rows for primary actions.
Changed
- ASM no longer asks whether audio should go through Sonar - it just does, routing automatically when the headset connects.
Fixed
- Enabling Clips could disable audio output in some cases.
- Overlapping record indicators appeared when multiple capture sessions ran.
- Incorrect default audio track selection in saved clips.
- Missing microphone EQ configuration on fresh installations.
- Inconsistent output device setting across interface tabs.
- Incorrect clip labeling that failed to distinguish game and media sources.
- Debian package was missing console scripts and systemd units.
- SteamOS installer required elevated privileges unnecessarily.
