Arctis Nova 7 Jan firmware update causes incompatibility #471

Description

Description

Looks like the major firmware update on the 21st may have broken compatibility. headsetcontrol -b returns "no supported devices found". Looking at lbusb, I see the product ID apparently changed. For grins (as I know little of programming) I added it to the arctis_nova_7.hpp and got it detected, but now gives "battery unavailable". Haven't had a chance to read how to wireshark this quite yet.

Headset Name

Arctis Nova 7

On which OS does the problem happen?

Linux
