Arctis Sound Manager: version 1.4.6 released

Arctis Sound Manager has been released in version 1.4.6, just hours after version 1.4.5.

The tool manages audio settings for SteelSeries Arctis headsets on Linux, including microphone noise cancellation, external output routing and other audio features.

The trigger was a crash reported hours after 1.4.5 shipped. The Arctis GameBuds now also report their battery percentage and connection status, with the tray showing the lower charge of the two earbuds.

Added

  • GameBuds report battery and connection status - the tray now shows the lower charge of the two earbuds.
  • Two new diagnostic scripts - one for troubleshooting the EQ chain, another for detecting battery-reporting capability.

Fixed

  • Crash when the clips folder lives on a disconnected drive, via defensive folder reading.
  • Automatic clip capture no longer relaunches repeatedly after a failed start.
  • Microphone chain repair now handles plugins referenced by name across multiple lines.
  • Two tests that only passed on the developer’s machine.
