The main difference to Arctis 7 seems to be that the "chat" device
supports stereo audio. Is there any difference in sound quality between
the "chat" and "game" devices?

Can you send the output of "amixer -c1" (replace 1 with the correct
card index if the headset card index is not 1)? Your configuration
probably doesn't handle volume correctly, because both devices have
been configured to use the analog-output path, which means that both
devices will control the same volumes in the alsa mixer. The volume
control needs to be separated for the two devices.
