I have a terrible confession: i have loads of audio issues im dealing with atm. My desktop setup basically gets confused and stops working whenever i try to switch fom headphones to speaker, and my two laptops just do not want to pair with my bluetooth headphones unless i futz with bluetoothctl every time
Anyway, tangent aside. my terrible confession is that i go to linuxmemes for tech support, someone pls help
I’ve had a bunch of audio issues crop up for me as well, after upgrading to Pop 24.04 and the new cosmic DE. I used to have keyboard shortcuts that would reliabily switch from headphones to speakers, but those are hit or miss now. And when they miss, I have to go all the way into into alsamixer and unmute things until it works again. Which begs the question, why can’t the normal audio settings UI do everything alsamixer can? Alsamixer isn’t complicated, by any stretch. Literally just lets you adjust the volume of all the things on a particular audio card, and mute/unmute.
I have been using Arch daily for 13+ years and I still don’t have a proper grasp on audio and Bluetooth…
Used raw ALSA, JACK, PulseAudio, and now Pipewire. I had major issues with all of them except ALSA.
I managed to disable devices like my webcam mic and PS5 mic, and even added a noise reduction filter to my real mic that shows up as it’s own device, but…
Only because the Arch wiki told me specifically how to do those things. Audio just luckily seems to work fine for the most part, currently. I used qpwgraph to play with wireplumber and it’s obviously very powerful, but I have no idea how it works :D
Bluetooth is a different story, it seems to work differently on every single device I’ve worked on…

Try to use a normal computer instead of trying to kick linux into a ATM.
Most ATMs are acually now linux based,. Weeell the new ones anyway. Old ones are still running on XP.
…i thought OS/2 was the industry’s system of choice…
It used to be, but that was a long time ago.
Not sure, xp might be too new. I’ve definitely seen nt 4 on an ATM before.
Dépend of thé country, Saw some are on windows 10. I guess windows 11 is too unstable yet.
Do you write in a French accent?
Yep
