Installing HeadsetControl

I want to install HeadsetControl to support my Arctis 7 headset. Right now looking at the list of ways to install packages on Bazzite, I’m not overly keen on using rpm-ostree, so I was wondering if it could be added to ujust or whether someone who knows more about using rpm-ostree can advise on whether that’s fine in this scenario.

You may be able to install via brew based on the readme

brew install sapd/headsetcontrol/headsetcontrol --HEAD

I installed it on my custom image once, using the Copr repo.

The support for Arctis 7 is half-baked, and the battery state is not really reporting anything but full - somewhere between full and dead - dead.

So, just a head up before you spend a lot of time figuring out how to install it.

Thank you! This did the trick, for future reference:

sudo curl --output-dir "/etc/yum.repos.d/" --remote-name https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/infiniteloop/HeadsetControl/repo/fedora-rawhide/infiniteloop-HeadsetControl-fedora-rawhide.repo
sudo rpm-ostree refresh-md --force
rpm-ostree install headsetcontrol
# systemctl reboot # optional, uncomment if you wish

HeadsetControl is now installed. Were you using it for volume control/chatmix? And if so, what did you use for it? I’ve noticed HeadsetControl-Qt and that looks alright - I suppose it wouldn’t be much effort to add a brew formula for it, really - but if you’ve got an easier solution to hand already, that’d be helpful.

@hanthor That command failed for me because the headers for hidapi couldn’t be found. But that’s probably resolvable by using rpm-ostree install hidapi-devel at a guess.
