From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

PSA: if you switched from Pulseaudio to Pipewire (or started to use Pipewire), change the resample quality to reduce audio distortion (e.g. crackling, hissing) (wiki.archlinux.org)

Why do they even include settings by default which introduce crackling and hissing noises?

I found that even starting with resample.quality = 7 I couldn't hear any difference, younger people (like teenagers) might be able to distinguish 8-9. Maybe use 8 as a default value?

But they said it should work better with pulseaudio

However, it works perfectly fine for me on Arch Linux with Pipewire-Pulse. Garuda Linux is pretty similar, so I'd recommend just using Pipewire.

Pipewire-Pulse actually translates API calls to Pulseaudio for Pipewire.
