Astro A50 need some Help plx Discord picking lineIn as Microphone

Inxi

since a few Updates my Astro Headset is showing Both Audio Channels before i only had 1 Channel In and 1 Out and it worked, a poor Quality but it Worked... now i got Both Channel In Game and Voice also Surround Sound is Working nice but my Microphone i don´t know its Messed up a bit.
Discord is Streaming all Incoming Sound to the Audience but not the Incoming Voices from Discord (only other Application Sounds) and i dont Know were to start digging if 1 of u had the same Headset and knows the glue plx give me a hint. Thanks a Lot :wink:

I Only found a PulseAudio Fix at Github and a Forum from EndeavorOS pointing to that Gist but... only 10 Star and i use pipewire and dunno if that impacts something ...

Switch the device profile to Analog Duplex.

(I use pavucontrol for this, but KDE probably has that setting somewhere in its audio configuration.)

i could switch to

  1. Analog Stereo Out and Mono In ( Crashes Sound Settings and Won´t Work)
  2. Analog Stereo Out (Disables Mic only 1 Out)
  3. Digital Stereo (IEC958) Out and Mono In (Works Out but Mic doesnt Recognize me)
  4. Digital Stereo (IEC958) Out (no Mic)
    5 Pro Audio (Works all getting 2 Out Devices but Streams Sounds trough Mic)
  5. Mono In ... Microphone Works but have no Sound

But didnt found an Analog Duplex

Hmm.

I’d have a look at inxi -Aaz to find out the audio chipset, then look for any other threads/issues on this, the EnOS, and the Arch fora, as well as for any similar models on the Arch wiki.

Could you link to this so I can have a look?

Yea i Vomit to much in that first post :wink:

OK, so there’s an old (and resolved) bug report here:

This indicates support was added in alsa-card-profiles=14.1-2 which has since been replaced by a PipeWire version, currently 1:0.3.42-1 .

Do you have this installed?

I can see there’s an entry for the Astro A50 Gen4 in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/90-pipewire-alsa.rules :

...
# Lucidsound LS31
ATTRS{idVendor}=="2f12", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0109", ENV{ACP_PROFILE_SET}="usb-gaming-headset.conf"
# ID 9886:002c is for the Astro A50 Gen4
ATTRS{idVendor}=="9886", ATTRS{idProduct}=="002c", ENV{ACP_PROFILE_SET}="usb-gaming-headset.conf"
# ID 1532:0520 is for the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1532", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0520", ENV{ACP_PROFILE_SET}="usb-gaming-headset.conf"
...

but this doesn’t match your headset:

So - adapting the existing line, let’s create a new rule to match your headset:

/etc/udev/rules.d/90-astro-50.rules

# ID 9886:0015 is for the Astro A50
ATTRS{idVendor}=="9886", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0015", ENV{ACP_PROFILE_SET}="usb-gaming-headset.conf"

If that works then you can figure out why there’s a different USB ID. :grin:

[🔴] × pacman -Q pipewire
pipewire 1:0.3.42-1

and i should take the Gist and change the /etc/udev/rules.d/90-astro-50.rules ?
or only make a rule <3

Only make a rule file using the line above.

(The gist creates a new profile, but that's not needed as it already exists in alsa-card-profiles)

I don't know - it looks like "something else" needs to be done to get this one working. I assume this is a Gen3... there's some mention on the gist about someone doing some more editing but it isn't clear what they actually did.
