I found the issue. The CTKI is an idiot who didn't realize System Volume is per device, and not global. Only took me 2 days to find out.
I don't think I can close the issue myself, please close it before it wastes somebody's time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900105 Title: Arctis 5 Game output no longer works Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The steelseries Arctis 5 headset is a USB device with 2 audio outputs: Game and Chat. In the system sound settings, I can clearly see 2 audio devices: "steelseries-arctis-output-game-common", and "steelseries-arctis-output-chat-common". Unfortunately, no sound comes out of the Game output. This has been working flawlessly up until yesterday (october 15th), a recent update may have caused this issue. No hardware/software changes were performed on my system, other than Ubuntu updates.
