Astro A50 support on Linux - basic configuration for PulseAudio 13 (tested on Ubuntu's 13.99.1). Install the files and reboot, to make sure udev and PA reloaded :-)

udev 90-astro-50.rules

# /etc/udev/rules.d/90-astro-50.rules

# ID 9886:002c is for Astro A50 Gen4
ACTION=="change", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="9886", ATTRS{idProduct}=="002c", ENV{PULSE_PROFILE_SET}="astro-a50-gen4.conf"

have anyone got Gen 3 version working?

just changde idProduct in udev rules. gen 3 has probably 0015 instead of 002c.
you might check it with lsusb | grep 9886

Is this expected to work with pipewire?

Is this expected to work with pipewire?

it won't, but not required.

just execute one of the following commands:
sh -c 'pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.usb-Astro_Gaming_Astro_A50-00 pro-audio; pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-Astro_Gaming_Astro_A50-00.pro-output-0; notify-send -i audio-headphones "Sound Output:" "Astro 50 Voice"'
or
sh -c 'pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.usb-Astro_Gaming_Astro_A50-00 pro-audio; pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-Astro_Gaming_Astro_A50-00.pro-output-1; notify-send -i audio-headphones "Sound Output:" "Astro 50 Game"'

in the latest case your headset will get the equalizer and dolby surround

@Vladimyr0 do you know if you can use the two outputs at the same time? I've got the A50X and using pipewire pro audio, but when I try to use the two output at the same time the sound of the Voice sink gets really distorted

use the two outputs at the same time

what do you mean? use voice channel and game channel simultaneously?
I'm afraid it'll exceed physical bandwidth capacity of the base station transmitter.
thus sound will be always crackled, indeed.

I got it working by switching the base station from a USB 2.0 to a USB 3.0. Now I can use the Voice and Game channel simultaneously!
