Good evening,
For some unknown reason, my USB headset (Steelseries Arctis 5) is no longer detected at all by the Sound settings (Cinnamon DE). When I look in pavucontrol, it doesn’t detect it either. However, I am able to see it in alsamixer as a playback device – but nothing happens when I try to enable it from there.
When I grep for pulseaudio, it returns:
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 2572 May 13 19:50 pulseaudio-alsa-1:1.2.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
When I browse inxi, it displays:
