Speaking of that, it's still free download (might have to initiate that from the album page instead of song)

Features some 45 minutes of mixed down road ambience, birdsong, ambient guitar, a few "heavier" parts (metal-ish), overall just another background vibe like i tend to do

So, mein Manjaro-Arbeitssystem erfolgreich von #Pulseaudio auf #Pipewire umgestellt, weil #Niri sonst die Audiodevices nicht findet. Eigentlich ist Pipewire ja der Standard, aber die Installation ist wohl doch schon ne Weile her. Das Schönste: Hat auf Anhieb geklappt. #linux

hai where are all the queer linux audio nerds I need their help :c

how the frick do make my audio just work and not bork itself randomly? it feels my bluetooth outputs work and then stop after lid-close, is that a thing I need to account for somehow?

I’ve been trying #crosspipe as a replacement for #helvum for a while now. Feature-wise, they’re pretty similar, but in my experience Crosspipe has been less glitchy than helvum and overall felt a bit more stable.

I've been fiddling with #PipeWire and WirePlumber, #Linux's latest #audio system, trying to make my sound more reliable. I'm still not a fan, but I did finally find a way to get it to (most of the time) use my built-in speaker instead of its three imaginary HDMI audio outputs.

I got some new #bluetooth earphones with a relatively high quality #mic, but it sounds really disappointing on #Linux, even with #PipeWire handling codecs. Initial investigation seems to suggest it's just *how things are* on Linux.

Has anyone had any success getting high quality bluetooth mic audio on Linux?
