Audio is one of the very short list of things windows actually handles better. I have a very nice DAC for my iems and on Linux it is stuck at sub cd quality. On windows I can go 32bit audio :/
True! Helping somebody less experienced than you solve a problem is a rush. I’ve had the same experience helping people with 3d printing problems.
Can you help my audio crackles whenever my CPU starts to do something resource intensive? Or with KWIN under Wayland lagging as well when the CPU also starts to cook itself? Breaking keyboard inputs and mouse. BTW this is when I intentionally overload the CPU lol. I could just switch back to x11 like the bitch I am though. But like I enjoy having a GPU rendered desktop and not going through x11 for everything.
Hey that’s my Halloween costume this year
guys my motherboard audio jack makes a loud pop 16 seconds after the last sound was played 😭
Just in case you’re not referencing a shitpost: shitty power optimizations, can be disabled.
But I was told that Linux has never had any audio problems and I was completely imagining all the ones I thought I had.
Basically 100% of my problems since switching to linux have been audio related.
Oh wait I mean no, gaslighting isn’t real you made it up because you’re crazy
I haven’t experienced any audio issues in many moons… like long enough ago I can’t remember… I know they were an issue 20 years ago… but wouldn’t say they were 5 years ago… of course I stopped distro hopping as often… and as I typed this I realized I still have an audio problem heh. Sometimes after a pause my audio comes back at a lower level for a few seconds until it fixes itself.
What about bluetooth audio?
Had to install a single package once to get it to connect more reliably but otherwise no issues.
This is a retake of my other meme as my original had an AI image that I was unaware of.
I’m getting old and soon I’m gonna get scammed by AI. I CAN FEEL IT! I can feel it about to happen!
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Dr. Intel Amderson, the cousin of Large Language Astronaut, Air Force Major Claude Gippitty. He was the first large language model in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 2021. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 2023. He was stranded there in 2026 when openai was dissolved in acid. His human crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by cheese. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.
In the 14-years since he has been on the station, it has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Bitcoin Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring it back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course.
Regard,
Vice Senator Intel Amderson
Smiled when I saw someone de-slopped the meme, smiled even harder when I saw the same OP
You love to see it
Bless you for doing it non-AI
redemption arc?
Hey Mr audio, I changed one of my Recording Devices in my Sound - System Settings from Analog Stereo Input (I think lol) to Pro Audio (for the lols) and it completely removed itself from the list… I have no idea where it went or what to search because I don’t really know what I did.
Edit: I’m an idiot and for to include: CachyOS and KDE Plasma
So, I’m actually able to reproduce that and then had to fix it myself. 😅
The “Pro Audio” profile seems to be a PipeWire thing: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/FAQ#what-is-the-pro-audio-profile
I’m guessing, the recording device doesn’t like that profile and just crashes right away. And when it has crashed, it won’t show up in the list of available devices.
Now, how is that profile remembered even when the device disconnects? Apparently, a component called “WirePlumber” is responsible for that.
And it stores this information in:~/.local/state/wireplumber/default-profileIf you don’t mind losing your profile selection for other devices, you can just do:
mv ~/.local/state/wireplumber/default-profile ~/.local/state/wireplumber/default-profile.oldand then do a reboot.
After the reboot, your recording device should be back.If you do mind losing the other profiles, then make a backup of that file and try to remove lines related to your recording device, and again do a reboot to test it.
For me, it was a device which had both input and output, and I had to remove both lines before it recognized it as unconfigured.
I pray, oh my doug, and I pray, every single day, for a revolution.
Did you mean oh Magog? Because you shouldn’t ignore the one true doug
Uh oh, that’s an embarrassing mistake on my part. Will try harder next time.
Stupid sexy Skeletor…
Pipewire has fixed pretty much every audio problem I’ve had across both Linux and windows. Pair that with qpwgraph for a gui for controlling input and output flow, and you’re in easy to fix audio city, baby.
Much better
😭👍
I said Hey! What’s going on?
And I say, hey hey, hey hey
Put your nerdy where your mouth is!
I just installed mint on my girlfriend’s 2015 MacBook. Everything works except for the audio. I haven’t started troubleshooting yet because it was just installed last night.
Save me time—how do I fix it?
First thing to check is Alsamixer. Get on that mfugging terminal and type in
Alsamixerand then hit the F6 key to check if Mint was just being weird and muted anything. I had that happen to me a few times where it muted headphones or speakers on its own.If that alone doesn’t work, it can help to check if wireplumber and be sure this is enabled.
systemctl status --user wireplumber.serviceIf it isn’t enabled, then run
systemctl --user start wireplumber.serviceAnd if none of that worked, I did find Pavucontrol worked pretty amazingly for me. I just downloaded it and it just worked to just
sudo apt install pavucontroland then ran
pavucontrol &Lemme know if any of this worked. Since you JUST got it, I don’t think it’s anything too crazy.
