Updated my dock to the latest firmware today. It worked fine until I restarted my deck to try and resolve some game streaming issues. After restarting the deck, the dock no longer works. When it is first connected to power, the ethernet lights strobe then go dark. Ethernet isn’t being detected by the deck and neither is the HDMI connection, but it still passes power on to the deck. Anyone else have any issues with this after the latest update?
One workaround for your audio problem might be to add a shortcut to Steam*, and run that in Game Mode.
something like “pactl set-default-sink 138” should do the trick. The device name can be found in “pactl list | grep -C 1 RUNNING”. I hope the ID is stable, if not you’ll have to use the alsa_output.pci-blah-blah__sink name.
*easiest done by “add non steam game”, check off something, okay add it, find “the something” in your games list, and change its properties.
I appreciate that. I will give that a shot tonight. I was too frustrated with it yesterday to start digging for a workaround after I spent the earlier part of the day upgrading my NAS to OpenMediaVault 6 (from OMV5). I spend most of my week working on computer stuff, and I just want my “consolized” PC to work - especially when the OS is supposed to be stable.
