I was trying to listen to an audiobook using VLC. The MP3 files contained a mono track, and VLC was playing it through only one headphone.

I found out it was caused by the selected output module. To fix it, I opened Settings → Tools → Preferences → Audio and switched the output module from PipeWire to PulseAudio.

Unity (game engine) having severe lag spikes from PulseAudio on Ubuntu 24.04.4

I recently noticed that my scene in a new Unity project was lagging/getting choppy even though it was just a tilemap with a handful (~10) game objects thrown in. Looking in the profiler I found that

Considered: PulseAudio module-tunnel-source. Load it on the remote, point at the local PA server. Same native protocol, no SSH tunnel.

The cost: the auth cookie travels in the clear. No encryption.

SSH tunnel gives encryption for free. That is not a small thing.

What's Pulseaudio's problem? A2DP works for two days. Today, it's unavailable (again) and my Bluetooth headset only connects with HFP, with no option to switch to A2DP. It's totally random. Re-pairing doesn't help. Killing Pulseaudio doesn't help either. Killing Bluetooth doesn't help either. Restarting my laptop doesn't help either. Will A2DP be available again tomorrow? Maybe. Maybe not. Its availability switches between days. Maybe it's related to the weather? Maybe to political news? This is so annoying! I would be really grateful for any lasting tips to fix this Pulseaudio A2DP headset mess. I don't want HFP. I don't need HFP. I just want to listen to my music. With my Bluetooth headset.

Vorgeschichte:

Seit Mitte 25 bin ich auf Linux unterwegs. Seit Anfang an hatte ich in unregelmäßigen Abständen bei verschiedenen Games Störgeräusche.

Die üblichen Tipps mit #PipeWire #PulseAudio #Wireplumber brachten keine Verbesserung. Ich tat es als „Linux Ding“ ab.

Hauptproblem war, dass die Fehler nicht reproduzierbar waren. Insofern musste man immer ne Weile spielen und hoffen das es weg ist. Was nicht der Fall war.
