Hello, I freshly installed endeavor last night, and wanted to allow stereo for my Razer Nari, I have seemed to mess it up so I tried reinstalling alsa, and it has come to no avail, anything I can do to even get mono, or suggestions for stereo?
What is Razer Nari?
There should be no need to deal with alsa.
What is the output of yay -Qs pulse pipe alsa
I assume the device is connected via USB dongle, so the output of lsusb would be of some help too.
In addition to that post the output of hwinfo --sound
Output of yay -Qs pulse pipe alsa returns nothing
Output of lsusb returns:

Edit: Should be using pulse audio or pipewire.
First I would do a
yay -S pipewire pipewire-alsa pipewire-pulse pavucontrol
Then reboot the systerm and try to set up your device correctly using pavucontrol.
yay can not search like this… needs:
yay -Qs pulse
yay -Qs pipe
yay -Qs alsa
and on a proper running install nothing will need to be installed for working Soundsystem.
Per default we use still pulseaudio:
systemctl --user status pulseaudio will show if it is running.
And it looks like the device needs what @ricklinux posted to work properly.
By default, pulseaudio only enables the voice chat output. This profile enables the second (game) output and the udev rule makes sure this profile is used when plugging in the device.
This solves the problem when only mono output is recognized for Nari.
