I have a newish install about 2 days old of arch. I am using dual boot, and I have steelseries arctis pro wireless headset, now I have already followed this tutorial... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc4lSt_-_uw but... I am not sure it is any better, I have the atmos.wav that I shoved in there. I go to system settings (using kde) and I see virtual surround sink, I select that device but... it really doesn't do anything at least anything better. I am only keeping windows for the call of duty, but would really really like to stay on linux, it would be awesome if I didn't have just stereo sound everywhere, I have almost got my software development environment all setup aswell... but I have dealt with linux off an on for years, web servers, ubuntu, centos, RHEL, but never used it as a daily driver. Gonna give this a real chance here. please help. I believe I am using pipewire, however when I type systemctl status pipewire, it says that pipewire.service not found. so that is curious.
edit below... hopefully this is more helpful than just help... I don't really have errors other than the fact I just know it isn't working, after I did these steps, it is still just very much stereo.
so here is what I did.
I went to the directory /usr/share/pipewire/
I then copied the pipewire.conf file
I then navigated to /home/.config/
I then pasted the config file in there, I opened the file and went to the section context.modules = [] and pasted the below file inside:
Ok so I am using pipewire, or at least the system is, so I went to this URL, which is reachable through the pipewires own website https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire … esuvi.conf:
I copied this config section:
{ name = libpipewire-module-filter-chain
flags = [ nofail ]
args = {
node.description = "Virtual Surround Sink"
media.name = "Virtual Surround Sink"
filter.graph = {
nodes = [

node.passive = true
audio.channels = 2
audio.position = [ FL FR ]
}
}
}
and pasted it within the context.modules [] at the end.
I then went to https://airtable.com/appayGNkn3nSuXkaz/ … ZKWJDnLtTc and downloaded the atmos.wav file, I moved that into the same directory as the .config file I copied earlier, so this would be home/.config/
I then copied that file path and replaced all of the "hrir_hesuvi/hrir.wav" with the correct file path to the file, including the atmos.wav.
I then rebooted. now there is a "virtual surround sink" under the settings application, and sound tab. I change to that I really don't hear any difference in sound.
do I need to go into the konsole and tell it something specific with my device? if you need anything to help me just let me know I will do the command and tell you the results.

Rather old thread, and I don't know if you have found any solution, but I'm struggling with the exact same thing.
You should place the pipewire.conf file under ~/.config/pipewire and the hesuvi conf under ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf,d/
Then do a systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse. Do a sound check on the virtual device: do you hear each test coming from a "direction" for each channel (ie FR, R, SR etc?).
It has not worked for me though, I'm struggling with errors when trying to reproduce sound.
