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?

Did you open a ticket with the Pipewire team?

Thanks for the tip! This is something I overlooked when installing Pipewire.

Thanks for posting! I didn't even know a setting like this existed until now. Everything sounds a lot better now.

What do you need to do with paprefs? I found that other Pulseaudio related software works pretty well if you have pipewire-pulse installed, e.g. PulseMeeter.

Use PulseMeeter, you can do a simultaneous output with it. It's basically the Linux version of the VoiceMeeter Banana program for Windows.

FWIW, I get the same error, in text form for discoverability via search engine:

I'll need to try it out but I don't have any issue with pipewire
