Hello, I'm fairly new to linux. Im wondering could this setup also work with the non-wireless variant of the headphones? I'd quite like to have the surround sound and I dont care about the microphone issue.

Hi, I don't think this will work for the headset without some adjustments. The systemd unit executes a script when the headset is plugged in. It expects the headset to have a device specific name (see https://github.com/jannikw/steelseries-arctis-pro-wireless/blob/49b93626f38016725be3a163f7b811752049d385/steelseries-arctis-pro-wireless.service#L5). You can try finding out what should be the name for your headset by running ls /dev/snd/by-id/ while your headset is plugged in. Mine shows up as a symlink with the name specified in the systemd unit.

For the script that sets up the headsets will likely need some adjustments as well. The correct audio devices are looked up using constant names (see https://github.com/jannikw/steelseries-arctis-pro-wireless/blob/49b93626f38016725be3a163f7b811752049d385/steelseries-arctis-pro-wireless#L5-L6). These will probably be different as they contain the term "wireless" here.
