Control "Game-Sound" with Chat-Mix knob

[Nama]

I always have a virtual sink for all-audio except voice-audio. With this script you can control the all-audio/game-chat volume.

Find your headset name on the output of pactl list and extend this command with it:
pactl load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=Headset master=
Set the new virtual sink as the default and set the real headset on your voice app as output.

Save this and execute it on every start, same with the command above. Or add the command above in the script.

• There might be a delay up to 300ms
• You can't use anything else to control the volume, this script will override it
  • The script will set the volume only if the knob is used. So we can use anything to control the volume now.
  • But the volume will jump, since the knob will stay on its position ofc, once you use it again.
• Chat-Mix is always 64 if the headset is turned off with my SS Arctis Nova 7
  • Make sure to set the variable $last_hsvol to that value to avoid the script controlling your other devices
  • A possible solution could be to use pactl command instead of wpctl, since wpctl doesn't accepts sink names

For windows I came up with this, requires svcl.exe.
For a "battery low" notification, do Install-Module -Name BurntToast or remove the New-BurntToastNotification line.

$last_hsvol = 64
$battery_warned = $false

while ($true){
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 0.15
    $jsono = ./headsetcontrol.exe -o json
    $hs = ConvertFrom-Json "$jsono"
    $hsvol = $hs.devices[0].chatmix
    if ( $last_hsvol -eq $hsvol ) {
        continue
    }
    $last_hsvol = $hsvol
    $vol = $hsvol / 128 * 100
    ./svcl.exe /SetVolume AllAppVolume $vol
    ./svcl.exe /SetVolume "discord.exe" 100
    if (( $hs.devices[0].battery.level -eq 25 ) -and ( -not $battery_warned )) {
        New-BurntToastNotification -Text "Headset battery low!"
        $battery_warned = $true
    }
}
