#LinuxAudio folk - a question for you.
I'm running #LinuxMint 22.2 - so far a vanilla installation.

Do I need to install extra #PipeWire tools (Pipewire-jack, qpwgraph, etc.)?

I am finding #BitwigStudio v4.0 is limited in its sound management, but v5.3.13 and v6 are more familiar and play nicely with other applications.

I don't intend to use v4.0 for music production - only for preset development.

Finding comparative and informative discussions on these finer points of audio is very challenging. Many just say "do this..." without any contextualisation and I don't trust them.

I make electronic music, but #ProAudio feels a bit of a stretch as I don't have an audio interface and just working in the box.

Par défaut, #Pipewire sort tout en 48000Hz quelle que soit la source. Si vous avez un DAC qui gère d'autres sample rates, il faut:
Créer le dossier /etc/pipewire
Copier le fichier de conf
sudo cp /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf /etc/pipewire/

Éditer et décommenter les deux lignes en ajoutant les taux d’échantillonnage désirés.

## Properties for the DSP configuration.
default.clock.rate = 48000
default.clock.allowed-rates = [ 44100, 88200, 176400, 48000, 96000, 192000 ]

Reboot

Bon comme beaucoup, je vais quitter #spotify pour #qobuz J'ai fait des tests audio en switchant d'une appli à l'autre sur une même chanson et la différence de qualité est flagrante.
Beaucoup plus de dynamique, meilleur spatialisation pour le second.
Pas testé en nomade avec de la 4/5g .
Sous Linux j'utilise le web player qui marche très bien. L'appli émulée avec Bottles est un peu bancale.

Prochain message pour expliquer comment profiter de tous les sample rates avec #pipewire

@mosgaard Thanks for the kind words! Native support is something a lot of plugins drastically need, and of course DRM systems like ILok are not supported on Linux. So I agree it's good to be transparent and adjust expectations when you make the jump. #CLAP, #pipewire and a bunch of small companies have made the switch to Linux a lot more doable though! (#Bitwig being a personal favorite of mine)

Is someone here very good with #pipewire? I seem to have an issue where some applications don't seem to be able to emit any sound, especially games. I also have pipewire-pulseaudio installed, but that doesn't really help. It also just doesn't show up in easyeffects. What could be the cause of this?

Ahoi, ahoi, nicht traurig sein! Die #zwcm2025 geht zu Ende, aber die #zwcm2026 in #Stuttgart kommt bald!

Gerade werden die letzten Ergebnisse aus den Panels vorgestellt, unter anderem zu @drucksocial und unsere Beteiligung dort, zur Öffentlichkeitsarbeit in den Radios und zu #Linux und Audio mit #Pipewire.

Es war ein produktives Wochenende zu #freiesradio und #journalismus mit vielen Impulsen für das kommende Jahr!
