When i try to run steamvr_utils.py on/off/daemon, i get the follwing output:

i'm not sure what i could try? Let me know if you need any other info :)

One way to fix this is to specify the normal audio sink explicitly in the config file:

  normal_sink_regex: 'Astro_A50-00\.stereo-game'  # Regex. Used to find the audio sink of the regular audio device. Leave empty to detect automatically (not recommended)

or (depending on which device you want)

  normal_sink_regex: 'pci-0000_12_00\.4\.analog-stereo'  # Regex. Used to find the audio sink of the regular audio device. Leave empty to detect automatically (not recommended)

That way the program does not have to search for the default sink and the error shouldn't occur.

But I am not sure why this is happening. Could you send me the output of pactl info?

unless i'm doing something wrong that didn't help:

i tried
normal_sink_regex: 'pci-0000_12_00\.4\.analog-stereo' # Regex. Used to find the audio sink of the regular audio device. Leave empty to detect automatically (not recommended)
The path by pactl is device.bus_path = "pci-0000:12:00.4", but i guess colons are not supported?
Just "for fun" i tried just "analog-stero" (or what exactly is meant by regex?), but that gave the exact same error.

  • Regex refers to Regular Expressions
  • I gave you a slightly wrong regex, sorry. Corrected version: normal_sink_regex: '.*pci-0000_12_00\.4\.analog-stereo' (added a .*to the start). You can use a website like https://regexr.com/ to test a regex, it should match exactly one of your sinks completely
  • The 'path by pactl' is not relevant here, only the sink name 'alsa_output....'
  • Thanks for sending the output of pactl info. You are using German, so my program fails to find some English keywords. I did not think about languages other than English. I am going to fix this.

The language problem sould now be fixed by 6cfdb16.

Ok, turning Off now works, when turning on, the basestations activate, but i still get an error when it tries to change the audio:

i've changed the config.yaml to normal_sink_regex: '.*pci-0000_12_00\.4\.analog-stereo' like you said

edit: it seems it correctly changed the HDMI-Port to the right sink, but didn't change the general output to HDMI after that.

For the time being you might want to disable the audio switcher, while we continue to work on fixing it:

audio:
  enabled: false  # Boolean. Enable the Base Station component.

This way you can (hopefully) use the Base Station power component without errors.

I added a script to collect the output of some pactl and your config. Please send me the output of ./scripts/debug_dump.py.

I found the issue: An in correct assumption about the output of pactl list cards. Fixed in 31cd4cb.

I can confirm it seems to be working now! 👍
Only [Debug] messages in the output.
Sound is switched properly although not represented by my audio-switcher-widget (probably more a KDE-Bug?)

Is the daemon supposed to turn the lighthouse off when steamVR stops (i've included the start as daemon in the steamvr launch options as written by the install script)? Because that is not happening, stopping them with argument "off" or the steamvr-utils-off desktop file works fine though.

Great 👍

Sound is switched properly although not represented by my audio-switcher-widget (probably more a KDE-Bug?)

I found that changing the default audio device (what your audio-switcher-widget is probably showing you) worked some but not all of the time. Instead I change the sink of individual clients. This overrides the default sink for that process, which has always worked for me.

Is the daemon supposed to turn the lighthouse off when steamVR stops

Yes. But only after 60s (wait_after_quit in the config). If this does not work for you, please open a new issue.
