Hi,
I have a gaming headset (Steelseries Arctis 7) which has two devices - one for main sound (game sound) and another for chat sound (lower quality) and mic. Once I set the default pcm, sound works well and on programs that allow you to select devices, I am able to use the microphone.
The issue is that I cannot modify the volume (or mute) the main sound, whether I try with
I have a gaming headset (Steelseries Arctis 7) which has two devices - one for main sound (game sound) and another for chat sound (lower quality) and mic. Once I set the default pcm, sound works well and on programs that allow you to select devices, I am able to use the microphone.
The issue is that I cannot modify the volume (or mute) the main sound, whether I try with
mixer or sysctl. Another related problem is that it seems that the main sound is paired with the mic under one pcm device and the chat sound is by itself. Changing the volume or muting any of the other mixers with sysctl do nothing either. Please have a look at the outputs below. Thanks. mixer -a
Code:
...
pcm6:mixer: <USB audio> at ? kld snd_uaudio (play/rec) (default) # main sound w/mic
vol = 0.80:0.80 pbk
pcm = 0.80:0.80 pbk
rec = 0.79:0.79 pbk
pcm7:mixer: <USB audio> at ? kld snd_uaudio (play) # chat sound (should be with rec/mic)
vol = 0.80:0.80 pbk
pcm = 0.80:0.80 pbk sysctl dev.pcm.6
