I had some issues in pre-2019 between alsa and pulse. I don’t think I have had any sound issues since then
Keep calm and
pulseaudio -k
I had a laptop with the opposite problem, it would just screech at full volume from the deepest pits of computer hell
Ever since Pipewire was introduced my sound just… works. Aside from missing drivers (super rarely) I have absolutely no issues.
I got super deep into synths and Linux audio years ago, and right around the same one Pipewire was starting to go mainstream. Shit just worked man!
# beepHey! My sound works perfectly up to 95% of the time!
There’s always sound.
It takes one second to start and there is some crackling with plenty of forum posts explaining how to fix these things going back to 2005 that are no longer relevant because the sound uses something with a different name now.
BUT THERE’S ALWAYS SOUND!
If a sound plays but there’s no audio server to receive it and convert it to an analog signal, does it make a sound?
Sometimes there’s no sound because someone (looks at cat) ate the cables…
Cause the nerds live underground…
And I’m thinking, “what a mess were in! Hard to know where to begin.”
Who cares about sounds when you can see gamma rays :3
I care.
My sound is fine. However my screen is going down to 0% brightness and won’t budge.
