The kernal is slop and the post is slop
Ok my audio problems:
My audio jack on the mobo is wrecked. It only sends noisy signals.
My hdmi audio sent to the monitor and then picked up from an audio jack there has issues with Nvidia drivers…
My current solution of a usb to audio adapter is breaking after each suspend.
Any ideas?


Shit, is it!? I’m getting old, man. I thought it was just a guy in cosplay.
It is, but it’s different if you didn’t know. It’s hard to spot sometimes.
We need Henry Cavill to put on a wig and to recreate the meme. I’m sure he would be up for it.
The collarbones, and the way the skin gets sucked in between.
The biggest tell is the high contrast. As much dark space as light. Some artists do produce that style, but the generated stuff still lands far too smack dab in the middle of brightness if you smudge the pixels together in your head. It’s much less noticeable these days, but the pattern persists. If it’s funky and well balanced over ALL pixels, and yet not a known artist for the style, it’s like 98% confidence it’s generated.
Nobody’s snapping that balanced of HDR shots from reality unless it’s a damn photoshoot.
AI slop
Are ya feelin a little peculiar?

Let chaos reign!
And I said
Y’all are having audio problems?
I have this issue where certain apps stop playing audio for a few seconds, then resume. The issue happens randomly, and it seems it’s caused by a buffer underrun, but I haven’t been capable of finding a solution. It happens with most audio players: QuodLibet, Fooyin, Rhythmbox, Strawberry, Clementine. It doesn’t happen at all with MPD or web browsers.
I’ve tried configuring Pipewire, GStreamer, and ALSA with no avail. And at this point I’m too tired, really. I’m using Fedora now, but the issue has happened on Endeavour and Debian too, so… ¯\(ツ)/¯
Obviously, we’all are solving audio problems.
I haven’t had any since 2018…is oy still an issue on some distros?
Pipewire made problems for me, that’s a new thing.
Interesting, it was Pipewire that fixed stuff for me way back. So many distros though, each with quirks.
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).
same unstable stuff with my onboard sound and I am close to buying an external soundcard, because I want surround, anyway
Wish someone would help me with pipwire
What do you need help with? I recently set up an Alpine Linux system and was surprised how easy audio was. I just installed pipewire, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber, made sure they start when the system starts and added my user to the audio and video groups. I’m not an expert on Linux though, so I don’t know how it works on other systems.
but how does it sound?
