PulseAudio profile for the Sennheiser GSP 670 wireless gaming headset

Sennheiser GSP 670 PulseAudio profile

Product page: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/gaming-headset-wireless-gsp-670

Like some other headphones, the Sennheiser GSP 670 provides a main and a communication audio device.

This custom profile is needed to make PulseAudio detect both the main and the communication devices.

Supported devices

1. GSA 70 wireless dongle
2. GSP 670 gaming headset

Installation

Debian-based distributions

Download the latest *.deb release and install it with dpkg:

sudo dpkg -i pulseaudio-sennheiser-gsp670_x_all.deb

Arch-based distributions

Download the latest *.pkg.tar.xz release and install it with pacman:

sudo pacman -U sennheiser-gsp670-pulseaudio-profile-x-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

Installing with pacman will fail if the install script was use before. This is normal and expected since the files already exist on the system.

There are two ways to address this issue:

1. Remove the conflicting files
2. Tell pacman to overwrite the conflicting files

This only has to be done a single time. Once the files were installed using pacman, no errors with conflicting files will occur.

Use the following command to make pacman overwrite the conflicting files:

sudo pacman -U sennheiser-gsp670-pulseaudio-profile-1.1.r3.g627a636-1-any.pkg.tar.xz --overwrite /etc/udev/rules.d/91-pulseaudio-sennheiser-gsp670.rules,/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/sennheiser-gsp670-input-comm.conf,/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/sennheiser-gsp670-output-comm.conf,/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/sennheiser-gsp670-output-main.conf,/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/sennheiser-gsp670-usb-audio.conf

Other distributions

Clone this repository and use the install script:

sudo ./install

Post installation steps

Restart PulseAudio
