Arctis Sound Manager: version 1.7.7 released

The Arctis Sound Manager has been released in version 1.7.7.

The tool manages the audio settings of SteelSeries Arctis headsets on Linux. The version follows versions 1.7.5 and 1.7.6.

New is touch gesture remapping for the Arctis GameBuds. The update also fixes settings being overwritten at startup on the Nova Pro Wireless, Elite and Omni, and reads more values straight from the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless.

Changes in version 1.7.7:

Added

  • Arctis GameBuds: touch gesture remapping. A new Buttons card on the Headset page, shown only for GameBuds profiles, lets you assign actions to the 1-tap and 2-tap gestures on each earbud. ASM writes the same action to the 2.4 GHz dongle and Bluetooth, and keeps in-call actions and hold flags. The 3-tap and medium-press gestures are written back only as the earbuds report them, because assigning them earlier broke their built-in actions until a reset in SteelSeries GG.
  • Device profiles: settings_readback supports skip_if_all_zero and silent. Settings marked hidden are written back only inside another setting’s frame and always follow the device.

Fixed

  • Nova Pro Wireless, Elite and Omni (#376): a setting changed on the base station was overwritten at startup. Base stations now get 3 seconds to respond instead of half a second. If they still don’t answer, ASM leaves those settings alone and adopts the base’s values when they arrive. Reported by Anvnamnet.
  • Arctis Nova 3 Wireless (#331): mic volume, sidetone, volume limiter and sleep timer are now read from the headset at startup, so values set elsewhere are kept. Byte positions were verified on real hardware by DarNCelsius.
