Single tilt on the volume knob sometimes changes the volume by multiple levels #168

Hello,

I'm having this issue where the volume knob in the side of my Logitech G533 doesn't control the volume in a linear, reliable way. If I try to tilt a single time on the volume knob, the reaction isn't very reliable. If I try to roll the volume knob with my finger multiple levels, it rarely changes the volume in a predictable way, sometimes going all the way down, or changing one or two levels only.

I suspect that if I could add some kind of small throttle to the volume knob input this could be fixed. Eg: Only obey one input every 100ms

Actually, I think this is being controlled by https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xbindkeys on my system

The commands issued are XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioLowerVolume

PS: If anyone's facing this issue, know this is actually a thing. It's called "debounce", and there's a library for helping with that: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf86-input-evdev-debounce

Yep its not a HeadsetControl Problem. The volume knobs etc. present themselves as Keyboard to the OS. And the OS (in this case Linux with X11) must interpret them correctly.

I close (but not lock) the issue, so you can continue discussing in here
