how to get Arctis Nova 7 headset chatmix to work on bazzite
steelseries unfortanlty does chatmix partialy in software with the nova 7. it used to be on older moldes that the headset would report as two devices, but on the nova 7 the game and chat are reported as one device to the os
apperentaly this tool https://github.com/elegos/Linux-Arctis-Manager/ would fix this but bazzite being imutable im not sure how i would get it installed or if it could work in a distrobox

Mine starts using Autostart just fine. iirc I used the copr repo that I added into a fedora distrobox, exported the app, then added that app to my autostart.

yea you could try that in a distrobox, Fedora or Ubuntu it shouldn't matter which one you pick. I would recommend quay.io/fedora/fedora:41 for the arctis-manager-1.6.3-1.fc41.x86_64.rpm
package or ghcr.io/ublue-os/fedora toolbox for arctis-manager-1.6.3-1.fc42.x86_64.rpm
once you created the distrobox you can simply use the install .rpm package function in distroshelf
i don't reallly have an arctis device so i can't test it sorry, but you should be able to launch it with
arctis-managerI also have this headset and didn't know this was a thing. Just putting a message here as im on holiday and will want to find this later.
I tried to install it but the systemd service failed to run.
I think it's yo heavily integrated with the system for distrobox
Try running with
arctis-managerIt just didn't find any headset
found this and it works actually perfectly https://github.com/Odizinne/HeadsetControl-Qt
except i can't get it to autostart with the system. i can run it manually but adding it to kde autostart settings doesn't work I wonder if this is another distrobox limitation and ill have to layer it...

Yeah that's what I did
Added the copr to my fedora distrobox and then install the headset control qt and headsetcontrol package and exported both
not sure why it's not auto starting it also doesn't want to run in steam game mode for some reason.
I'm not sure if distrobox apps would even work there
Interesting
it just says this on the autostart settings even after rebooting. so its in the autostart settings but its not running for some reason
ohhh could this be why
/usr/bin/HeadsetControl-Qt doesn't exist on my system shouldn't it be ~.local/bin/HeadsetControl-Qt ?
Mine calls distrobox-enter then passes the argument, instead of trying to call
~/.local/bin/HeadsetControl-Qt directly. Don't know if that would make a difference though.
yeah what happend was that desktop file that i was using for autostart was created by the program and inproperlly made :mrpgSighFacePalm: had to manually add the exported .desktop file and then it worked.
it had the exact same thing distrobox-enter the distrobox name and then the app
:GlorpSalut:
I had to overlay it though to get it to work in steam gamemode apperently distrobox apps don't work in steam game mode
