Overview

SteamVR Utils for Linux

This project contains scripts to improve the functionally of SteamVR on Linux:

Turning Base Stations (V1 or V2) on/off (via Bluetooth)
Changing the audio output of games to the headset and back to the normal audio device

A daemon can start automatically with SteamVR (via launch options), once SteamVR is closed the Base Stations are turned off again. Alternatively the scripts can be executed manually.

Currently, this is known to work with a Valve Index, V2 Base Stations and V1 Base Stations. Other headsets might work.
For the Base Station component a Bluetooth device capable of btle (Bluetooth Low Energy) is required.
For the audio component PulseAudio (more specifically pactl, which is installed by default) is required.

This project is not affiliated with SteamVR, Steam or Valve.

Install

Download:

git clone https://github.com/DavidRisch/steamvr_utils.git

Install dependencies (the last command is required for bluepy to run without root privileges):

sudo apt install pip3 libglib2.0-dev
sudo pip3 install bluepy psutil
sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip' /usr/local/lib/python3.?/dist-packages/bluepy/bluepy-helper

Get launch options to configure SteamVr with and create desktop shortcuts:

./scripts/install.py

Usage

Depending on your setup some configuration (see section below) may be required before these commands work. Try out what works before changing the default configuration.

Start daemon automatically when SteamVr starts:

Follow the instruction returned by ./scripts/install.py.

Start daemon manually:

./scripts/steamvr_utils.py daemon

Turn Base Stations on and switch audio to the headset:

./scripts/steamvr_utils.py on

Turn Base Stations off and switch audi to the normal device:

./scripts/steamvr_utils.py off

Configuration

First make a copy of the default config file:

cp ./config/config_template.yaml ./config/config.yaml

If you chose a name other than config.yaml you will have to specify its location (--config argument).

The default config file contains explanations on each available field. Some config values are regular expressions (regexes), to get help with configuring them correctly see the output of:

./scripts/steamvr_utils.py config-help

For usage with V1 Base Stations some configuration is required, V2 Base Stations work out-of-the-box.

Not working on arch linux

So I tried to run it on garuda linux and I'm unable to make it work. I installed all dependacy. I did manage to start my base station but since then I was never able to turn them off. Bluepy is always unable to connect to my base base station evens if he find them.. I'm going mad... I also I'm using pipewire but I disable the audio component since It make problem

Failed to execute management command 'scanend'

Hello everyone. After finding out that the lightouses on steam vr for linux are borked i wanted to give this script a try. But unfortunately it seems like my computer hates bluethoot with a passion and it just refuses to work. Whenever I launch the scrip for turning on the base stations the following error pops up:

Test V1 Base Station Support

@Firestorm7893 I added support for V1 Base Stations in cb58f334. Can you please test if works? Your config:

basestation:
  enabled: true  # Boolean. Enable the Base Station component.

  # ==== FOR V1 AND V2 BASE STATIONS ====
  attempt_count_set: 5  # Int >0. Number of attempts to set the power state of Base Station.

  # ==== FOR V2 BASE STATIONS (from Valve) ONLY ====
  type: 'v1'  # Enum(v1, v2). Version of your Base Stations.
  attempt_count_scan: 5  # Int >0. Maximum number of attempts to find Base Stations.

  # ==== FOR V1 BASE STATIONS (from VIVE) ONLY ====
  lh_b_mac: '40:4E:36:BD:A8:45'  # String(XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX). Bluetooth MAC address of Lighthouse B.
  lh_b_id: '62F5DDD9'  # String(XXXXXXXX). ID of Lighthouse B (printed on the back).
  lh_c_mac: '40:4E:36:BD:A1:38'  # String(XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX). Bluetooth MAC address of Lighthouse C.
  lh_c_id: '0E97C927'  # String(XXXXXXXX). ID of Lighthouse C (printed on the back).

Issues with audio automatic switching

Sorry for bugging you again, but I'm having some troubles with the audio component. I adapted your script to work with the Vive lighthouses so I got that part figured out, what's missing for this setup to be perfect is the automatic audio switch. For sure i configured something wrong (even though the debug strings it prints makes it look like it chose the right sinks) but whenever i start VrUtils it crashes with this error:

Base stations turning on and off repeating 5 times (attempt_count_set count)

Was just going to look into something in VR today and have been using steamvr_utils for some time now without problems. click vr icon in steam where the master base station spins up (at a louder / faster mirror spin rate than normal) then stops, then repeats the same count as is stated in the config for attempt_count_set.

I tried switching from the current latest linux steamvr version to the linux beta version, same problem.

waited for the base station to spin down (fail out), then started steamvr without starting the base stations, then unplugged and replugged the power for the master base station (station b), it spins up (at a normal mirror spin rate) and triggers station c like it normaly would.

Now, this started happening only today so I suspect it might be something that changed with some f'ing update from ubuntu that messed with it.

Ubuntu 20.04.3 Kernel 5.17.1 generic (Mainline) Mesa 22.1.0-devel

Any suggestions to what could be causing this ?

Feature request: External commands for basestation management

My PC that I use for VR doesn't have any bluetooth capabilities but I have lots of running raspberry pis which I could use for this.

Would it be possible to have a configuration for an external command to execute instead of the regular bluetooth to switch the basestation on/off? Then I could set up a copy of this on a rpi and execute the command over ssh.

I understand if it's way out of scope for this project.

[question] BS power toggling as a user (no sudo)

Hello again, this isn't a direct problem and more of a question. I recently got a Vive Pro since I was suspecting my old Vive was starting to fail (It wasn't, but that's fine). Now, with the new BS V2(?) they connect and operate in a different way then the V1(?) BS's. They require that I run this utility as root (sudo) for it to work because of BLE.

I'm wondering if you have any method that would allow the user to be able to toggle the BS's power on and off without needing root (sudo) ?

It's not an actual problem, but more a hindrance to the automation of this script being run on SteamVR startup/shutdown since I now must run the script as root with on/off to power the BS's on/off.

The Daemon is intefering with OBS Audio Device Capture

When using OBS the Daemon will constantly switch my input devices back to the Radio Mic. We need a way to disable this portion of the switching as I cannot use steamvr_utils while streaming now. Even newly added capture sources have this issue. Specifically it will automatically set my desktop capture to the Radio Mic instead of the HDMI output and changing it in pavucontrol will see it change right back the next time the daemon makes it's check

Valve Index sink not found

I've just recently switched from Win10 to Manjaro and am encountering some major audio issues for the VR (everything worked fine back in Win10). I tried setting the vr_sink_regex in the config.yaml to .displayport. since the hmd is connected via DisplayPort to my computer. But even after trying this, the device wasn't found. My hmd is connected properly as I can play with it in vr - just without any sound. The output from the hmd is also not listed within the OS sound settings, however the input mic is shown there.

Sink Audio Patch

I'll start by saying thank you so much for sharing this awesome project.

I recently acquired a Valve Index and was thrilled to find useful tools like this.

The bluetooth base station functionality worked perfectly for me.

While enabling audio works, I had some errors running move-sink-input, and it silently fails to restore audio when running off or the daemon exits.

I'm an arch linux user with pactl version 14.2, and whatever modules it came with barring suspend-on-idle module because it regularly skips audio at the start of playback due to activation latency.

In my case I only ever have a single sink.

Changing the port via set-card-profile appears to be what works for me, which I was testing from this script before I found your tool: https://gist.github.com/frostworx/2a1a84ea8098ddc207cc9f54793f5446

Oddly, when the profile changes the sink name also changes to match, and the default sink too (though unreliably if I have other devices connected, which I'm guessing is why empty string for the normal regex is not recommended).

Additionally, my sink-inputs appear to automatically switch to the new sink, which combined with the sink name changing makes move-sink-input unnecessary.

To avoid breaking existing functionality I added a new config that supports finding the normal profile by device name the same way it finds the Index HMD, and I added a profile change to switch_to_normal.

To avoid the errors that occur due to the sink name change I added a pre-flight-check to set_sink_for_all_sink_inputs, which makes sure the sink name still exists before attempting to run move-sink-input.

Please let me know if these changes are usable.

I may try adding a similar audio toggle for microphones tomorrow.
