The Arctis Sound Manager has been released in versions 1.7.5 and 1.7.6.
The tool manages the audio settings of SteelSeries Arctis headsets on Linux. Both updates arrived on the same day, shortly after version 1.7.4.
Version 1.7.5 can read back the curve stored on the Arctis Nova 5 and fixes the sound card disappearing on the Arctis Pro Wireless. Version 1.7.6 adds the Sonar preset options from 1.7.4 to the Settings page and makes the installer retry downloads.
Changes in version 1.7.5:
Added
- Arctis Nova 5: the curve stored on the headset can be read back (#347).
- The Nova 5 has no
0x32query: the curve comes back with the audio settings (0x20), one byte earlier than on the Nova 7 and with the gain in the form it is written in.- Wireless curve only for now.
Fixed
- Arctis Pro Wireless: the sound card no longer disappears (#365). The base is two USB devices, 0x1290 for its controls and 0x1294 for its audio. ASM listed 0x1294 as a second control id, so when it showed up first ASM took it for the headset. 0x1294 is now only used to find the sound card, and ASM no longer detaches any interface that is not a HID one, on every headset.
Changed
- The log says what a base station reported at start, and what ASM sent it (#376). A setting that went back to another value after a replug left no trace. Both are now, along with the saved values sent at start, so a bug report shows whether the base or ASM changed the value.
Changes in version 1.7.6:
Fixed
- The Sonar preset download settings now show up in Settings. The two options added in 1.7.4, “Download new Sonar presets at startup” and “Announce new Sonar presets at startup,” were missing from the Settings page, so users couldn’t turn them off there. Both now appear in the General group.
- The installer retries its downloads. A single failed fetch of the repository key made it look like no signing key existed.
install.shnow retries dropped or timed-out connections and server errors a few times, but still fails immediately when a page is missing.
