no input from razer headset microphone when using RAZER BASE STATION V2 CHROMA

Open fiercebrake opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Greetings everyone!

So I currently have a razer "blacksharck v2 pro" headset that i connect to a razer "base station v2 chroma"

The razer base station is properly detected/listed by (arch) linux.

Problem is though the card and mic are detected and listed, the mic has no actual input at all.

For the mic to start showing/taking any input I need to manually unplug and replug the headset from the base station.

The jack in the base station is a 4-pin 3.5mm (TRRS) jack

This article/fix below seems to alleviate the problem, say 50% of the times. So I am wondering if there is anything else I can do via ALSA to completely fix the problem

In case it is useful;

This script resets the USB ports,after which the mic properly gets input back. This procedure seems to work every time my mic gets no input (always after a reboot)

#!/bin/bash

for i in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/[uoex]hci_hcd/:; do [ -e "$i" ] || continue echo "${i##/}" | sudo tee -a "${i%/}/unbind" echo "${i##/}" | sudo tee -a "${i%/}/bind" done
