   Hello 👋

   Thank you for reaching out and expressing interest in having support for a new headset.
   We appreciate your willingness to contribute to the project!

   In order to create a implementation for a specific headset, we need to be able to reverse-engineer and test the implementation on that particular device.
   Explicitly speaking, only people who actually own the headset, can implement that request.

   👉 If you're interested in adding support for a specific headset, we recommend taking a look at our wiki to get started.

   📝 If you encounter any problems while using WireShark, we would be more than happy to help. Simply post screenshots and data on your progress.

   @socketpair @Sapd I also have this headset and wanted to add support for it in HeadsetControl. However, I'm hitting a slightly problematic roadblock here... When I end up sending a feature report, I'm getting this error:

   Failed to set/request sidetone. Error: -1: ioctl (SFEATURE): Broken pipe

   I also tried using PyUSB to send the feature report instead, but then I'm getting first a "Resource busy" error, then "Entity not found" (when re-running the program). I'm not exactly sure what's wrong, the headset is working perfectly fine.

   Here's my code for setting the sidetone:

   static int arctis_nova_3_send_sidetone(hid_device* device_handle, uint8_t num)
   {
       /*
        * steps to make it work nicely with headset-charge-indicator
        */
       if (num < 26) {
           num = 0x0;
       } else if (num < 51) {
           num = 0x1;
       } else if (num < 76) {
           num = 0x2;
       } else {
           num = 0x3;
       }
   
       uint8_t data[MSG_SIZE + 1] = { 0x02, 0x06, 0x39, num };
   
       return hid_send_feature_report(device_handle, data, sizeof(data));
   }

   I've also attached the Wireshark capture file below (inside a ZIP file) which shows the packets when I set the microphone sidetone to "Low" in SteelSeries GG Engine (which corresponds to the value 0x01):

   Nevermind, I guess I shouldn't code at 3 AM... I solved it by just using this as the data buffer:
   uint8_t data[MSG_SIZE] = { 0x06, 0x39, num };
   And now setting the microphone sidetone works!
