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.
On the topic of audio. Does anyone know how to fix microphones in the game Squad? My mic works for discord and also in the steam microphone test, it just doesn’t seem to register in game. I really want to play more of these teamwork based games but it is really hard to do so when I can’t effectively communicate with the people in my squad.
I am on TuxedoOS with a HyperX Quadcast if that helps with troubleshooting.
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
I’m getting old and soon I’m gonna get scammed by AI.
I’m in my mid 40s and this terrifies me, honestly. I’ve seen a lot of images people point out are AI and don’t notice it until later. Some are super obvious, but others I might never notice (and doubly so if I don’t stop to actually examine all the details of every image I see and who has time for that?)
redemption arc?
Every time I see this meme posted, it has a different and new version of this image. It’s part of the fun!

You know what’s worse? After finding out that image was AI, I then found out a content creator I enjoyed was AI and stealing work from an Italian artist.
Unc really is about to get scammed, gamers.
I saw this Ai image meme previously. And it didn’t catch my interest. It just didn’t click. The text was there, the he-man. But the sound wasnt playing in my head. It was dead silent. Now I see this new take with a capture from the heyaheya he-man youtube parody with a real guy I saw some years ago and the sound came. I had the music in my head, and some images flashback. Ai don’t have feeling. They’re just bland, like an ice-cream without the cream. Just ice.
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.
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.

MYAAH
Stupid sexy Skeletor…
What’s going on?
I still have the problem of audio delayed start.
After a while, of I start anything with audio whether it’s an mp3 file, a video file anything on the browser, whatever, there’s always like a whole second of delay before the audio starts
This drive me insane when I’m song audio editing.
I found this problem across all Linux distros. And this problem started happening in the last few (maybe 5?) years as far as I’ve noticed.
If you have a fix for that, that would be great.
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.
At some point a rew months ago my work laptop running Fedora just started having shit sound for both recording and playback. My guess is some interrupt handler somehow changed and is now getting blocked by my disk or network or something, but who can say?
If it was my personal laptop I would spend a weekend sorting it out, but…
