How to get Elgato Wave XLR working on Linux

Quick Guide on how to get elgato Wave XLR working on Linux

Distros known to work

I've only tried fedora and omarchy but this should work on many modern Linux Distros.

Omarchy

The process is very simple. Open the Audio Manager and under Options select the 'Pro Audio' Profile

Fedora / Bazzite

The process is a simple terminal command.

sudo dnf groupinstall "Audio Production"
sudo dnf install realtime-setup
sudo dnf install pavucontrol

Then run pauvcontrol

pauvcontrol

A gui will open and under configuration select the pro audio setting for the Elgato Wave XLR

and now it should work!

general Linux

replace dnf with your package manager of choice it should work just the same. Example:

sudo apt install pavucontrol
