SteamVR error code 496 on CachyOS (arch linux)

Hi everyone, I have a bit of a headache to deal with and this was something that was really frustrating to deal with. Trying to use SteamVR with the Valve Index isn't really working well right out of the box for me as I keep getting the Error Code 496 "Your headset might no be connected, or your desktop environment might not support VR."

Which well, It was indeed working on Windows. I do run KDE Plasma using Wayland and I'm currently running the native package for Steam as suggested alongside the Mesa drivers since I use AMD for my gpu.

For a TL;DR

Error Code 496
OS: CachyOS
GPU: AMD Rx 6950XT
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950x3D
MEMORY: 16 GB 3200

it seems everyone who own a RX 6XXX GPU by AMD will get errors, even connected HMDs. There are problems with de/encoders what we know so far, but in ur case, i dont know :-(

I've got exactly the same issue, it isn't just for 6000 series GPUs but 7000 series as well.

I've just got off Steam Support and this is what they said:

"Steam for Linux is currently only supported on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and higher with Unity, Gnome, or KDE desktops.
If you are running another distribution of Linux, we will not be able to provide support. We recommend you install the latest version of Ubuntu for the best Steam experience on Linux"

The Index HMD worked the first time I installed CachyOS out of the box - with a very laggy dashboard and I had to exit VR.
After a few gpu package installs (mesa and opencli-amd) it is now giving out the same issue you are - and uninstalled them with no success.

I know someone who got his HTC Vive to work with Arch, I'll get an update if his method works here.

So from what we found out.

It is a direct issue with the latest AMD Mesa drivers (25.3.1) causing the headset not to respond.

Try downgrading the AMD Mesa drivers, have a look on Proton DB for SteamVR - and look for people who have said it worked under their AMD driver version.

I can't give any tutorial on how to downgrade the AMD drivers, after my (desperate) attempt I broke the entire CachyOS login process and had to fresh install.

I see why Steam Support did not want to assist with helping get this problem solved, as Arch is a whole bag of worms.
