** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * User is only able to get mono audio from steelseries headsets because
+ they provide both a stereo and mono output. PA selects the mono output
+ by default.
+
+ * This should be backported to stable releases because this fix is
+ isolated to code that only applies to the affected headsets.
+ Additionally other gaming headsets may be more easily enabled by adding
+ ATTRS{idVendor}=="<VENDOR>", ATTRS{idProduct}=="<PRODUCT>",
ENV{PULSE_PROFILE_SET}="steelseries-arctis-7-usb-audio.conf"
+ to /lib/udev/rules.d/90-pulseaudio.rules now. Such as the Lucidsound
+ LS31 which I own.
+
+ * The upload fixes the bug by conditionally setting a pulseaudio
+ profile for the headset based on specific usb vendor and product ids in
+ the udev rules.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ 1. Acquire headset.
+ 2. Open sound settings, and click test speakers.
+ 3. Only option available will be mono sound
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * Risk of regressions should be mitigated to those who own the headset.
+ In which case it is likely that their headset is already not working.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * All patches originate from upstream pulseaudio, and are documented as
+ such including the shas.
+
+ * I will be pursuing enabling other similar headsets in the coming weeks.
+ * I plan to work with upstream pulseaudio to enable my own headset and to
+ also make the headset templates backported here more generic.
