Regardless, if this isn't fixed by 10.13.1, I'm gonna have to get myself a new headset - which is sad, because the Arctis has been the best balance of comfort, performance, and aesthetics I've found in years.

Maybe SteelSeries just needs to buy a bottle of scotch for the right dev at Apple. Either way, it's conjecture - USB device stacks aren't my area of expertise. Or a little of column A, a little of column B. I'd make an educated guess that the conflict is there - the ability to present multiple logical devices might be an obscure part of the USB audio spec that Apple implemented poorly, or SteelSeries is making use of non-core extensions to the USB audio spec. While High Sierra definitely changed something, it also seems apparent that SteelSeries did Something Clever to present two logical outbound audio devices (Game/Chat) in addition to the single inbound audio. I do technology research for a living, so it's kinda my thing. I do hope you're speaking to the supplier of your USB chipset

So, definitely something that changed in High Sierra, but also something that seems specific to the Arctic headset. This does not occur when using other headsets (Logitech) or USB devices, and there's no similar delay when using Bootcamp (Win10). The timeout will be repeated several times, but will end immediately (and boot will proceed normally) after I unplug the headset. I've also noticed that, on both my Late-2016 13' MBP (Touch Bar) and my Late-2013 27' iMac, I have delays going as high as 10 minutes in booting macOS - only with the Arctis 5 headset plugged in.īooting in Verbose mode (command-V), I see the following: HID: Legacy shim 2īusy timeout, 60s: 'IOUSBHostInterface' I'm having the same issue: Steelseries Chat is no longer available as an input option and, when using Arctis 5 on my 13' 2016 MBP (Touch Bar), the on-screen volume adjustment is greyed out.
