TBH yeah kinda. My Debian install automatically switched to pipewire after the last release upgrade, and that’s been shit. My soundcard’s USB-connection is physically unstable sometimes, pulseaudio and jackd can recover from a lost connection easily but Debian’s pipewire setup couldn’t (and if there was a way to manually fix it, there wasn’t any documentation on it that I could find that actually worked).
I fixed it by using a different USB cable (that is a lot shorter, which is an issue on my desk) und uninstalling pipewire, but the latter seems kind of unsustainable and I’m not very motivated to buy yet another different USB cable, the one I bought that had problems was already one of the more expensive ones (and it wasn’t low quality, it was just ever so slightly too narrow to fit securely).
Y’all are having audio problems?

same unstable stuff with my onboard sound and I am close to buying an external soundcard, because I want surround, anyway
