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.

Heya! I've been daily-driving it for nearly a month on my main at-home laptop (Thinkpad X260).

It's pretty great! ZFS is darn near bulletproof, and after some initial challenges of getting wifi and GUI configured, it was pretty "boring"... until I tried upgrading to 15.0, lol

Figured out how to roll back to 14.3, and I'm now waiting for 15.1 before I try again (although I believe the issues I had have now been resolved, but I'm still going to wait ;)

Package availability is amazing (better than Debian in some cases!), and most things compile without any issues, although some things that don't have very well-written Makefiles are iffy and I got stuck.

Been having fun with Dosbox-X, playing games I loved 20-30 years ago. I couldn't get the Linux version of Kerbal Space Program to run under compat_linux, but I didn't really expect it to.

#OpenBSD definitely gets my vote for noob-friendly #BSD, since it has X11 in the base install, and it configures itself, but I now have sway (Wayland) running under #FreeBSD just as if I were still on Linux, so as long as someone is willing to skim through the pertinent parts of the handbook, it's a great OS.

The only downsides to #FreeBSD vs. Linux is that S3 resume takes a little longer (8 seconds instead of 1-3 seconds), and I have occasional hiccups, which I'm sometimes not able to recover from. Loading some websites in Firefox will make everything hang for several seconds at times (even though I'm launching Firefox via nice (1)), and there are some times that sway never quite recovers from S3 suspend, although that's rare. The good thing is that sometimes it will catch the power button and shut down cleanly, and even when it doesn't, #ZFS is so bulletproof that it just takes it all in stride.

There are occasional Linuxisms that feel a bit odd, like some of my packages (the swaync notification system and the duckstation console emulator are notable examples) require #pulseaudio of all things, which sometimes eats up my CPU. That's... really weird to me. I liked how minimal sndio on OpenBSD is.

Both major BSDs have very sane syntax for the config file that governs Wifi access points, and that's very refreshing to me after using a TUI to join networks on #Debian (although it's definitely possible to uninstall #NetworkManager on Debian and use the native interface config files, but they're not as nice/simple as the BSDs').

One really fun (if a bit cartoonish) way of comparing the BSD philosophy to the Linux philosophy is to look at doas vs sudo, specifically man doas.conf, then man sudoers.

The manpage for the sudoers file is pretty long and convoluted, as is the syntax for the file itself. doas.conf is super brief and to-the-point, and its manpage is pretty concise.

I think once they add the setup tool for GUIs to the FreeBSD setup wizard, that will be a real game-changer.

P.S., I haven't really daily-driven OpenBSD in a while, but I'm planning on getting an adapter so I can power my OpenBSD Thinkpad X200t off of a power bank, instead of the very dodgy third-party battery, so I can experiment with OpenBSD some more. I know the latest version has fixed the problems I was having with Emoji support, so I think that OS deserves another look. With the little bit of experimentation I've done in the last week, I've been pleasantly surprised with even Firefox' performance on that little Core 2 Duo. The only bummer about OpenBSD to me is the lack of ZFS or any other modern filesystem, so the occasional power losses or hang-ups become much more dangerous.

Edit: minor clarifications

@jwcph

ALSA are drivers to talk to hardware - 90% of audio interfaces (whatever enables you to plug an audio cable into your computer) use ALSA. (exceptions are FireWire interfaces and some other). if a new audio interface is 'incompatible' with Linux, it means it doesn't have an ALSA driver (aka kernel module) - yet.

on top of #ALSA drivers (so, using those drivers) there were two systems in last decade:

1. PulseAudio - designed to be invisible way to handle all desktop audio - mutiple application would be able to send sound to your audio output (to ALSA). not capable of low-latency audio needed for professional music/audio work. if you had multiple outputs (ALSA), like HDMI or analog out, you could choose one of those for a particular application (like web browser), and similarly for inputs (microphones etc)

2. JACK audio server - low latency, designed for pro audio work, allowed completely free patching between multiple applications (ins and outs), standalone audio plugins, and audio interface(s) - essentially infinite patchbay among "everything". all decent audio apps work with JACK, but not 'desktop' apps, something like web browsers for example.

at first #JACK and #PulseAudio were incompatible - you were supposed to suspend (or uninstall) PulseAudio in order to use JACK and vice-versa. they fought for access to ALSA. Later on, bridges were developed so you could send sound from web browser (that was using PulseAudio) to your DAW (that was using JACK) or output from DAW to OBS or Zoom...

audio apps needed code to talk to any of these two systems. they needed to be compatible with JACK, or/and PulseAudio.

last few years PipeWire ( @pipewire ) appeared to replace JACK and Pulse at the same time and be very transparent and invisible but still configurable if you so needed. Like JACK and PulseAudio it also sits on top of ALSA drivers, but "acts" like it's Pulse and/or JACK. the idea seems to be that replacing JACK and PulseAudio is easy if nothing needs to be changed in those apps. so applications think they are sending audio to JACK but are actually sending it to PipeWire 'in disguise'. it's extremely good at pretending (tech speak: it uses same API). So, if you are using (running) PipeWire, you cannot use (run) JACK or/and PulseAudio.

PipeWire is amazing solution. it also automatically discoveres new audio devices like usb headphones, or Bluetooth speakers and makes the default audio output. you can unplug your audio devices and apps won't notice. It's still a bit rough on the edges, but it's getting better and better.

MIDI? well, it's complicated: there's ALSA MIDI and JACK MIDI. Just two different systems trying to do patching between apps. So some apps will show one, and some the other. I think PipeWire tries to make this irrelevant by bridging these two, but it's not always successful. It should be accessible in PipeWire patchbay app like 'qpwgraph'.

Sorry if that's too long, but I hope it is understandable enough. And sorry for so many edits.

#LinuxAudio

[SOLVED]

Ich verwende #LinuxMint 22.2 und möchte sechs Audiokanäle separat einstellen. Ich nutze #PipeWire mit #qpwgraph, habe aber gelesen, dass #PulseAudio die Verbindungen vergisst, sobald das Gerät getrennt wird. Deshalb möchte ich JACK-Audio-Clients verwenden, die sich in diesem Fall automatisch wieder verbinden.
Das Problem: Wenn ich JACK-Audio-Clients in #OBS Studio erstelle, werden sie in qpwgraph nicht angezeigt.

For a while now I haven't been able to access both mic and earphones of this headset with the plug/unplug/replug dance.

HOWEVER, I've noticed that both are correctly detected by #ALSA (alsamixer shows both, at least), so this appears to be a problem further down the line (either in #PulseAudio or #Pipewire).

I don't suppose anyone has an idea how to debug (or even better solve) this? Google isn't being helpful.

#Linux

@BrodieOnLinux #PulseAudio is crazy...

Any app (easy to control with #Flatpak) that has Pulseaudio permission can not only output sound, but spy on your mic too.

It is pretty shocking how few apps have native Pipewire support. #Gapless, #Celluloid and #Haruna (modern and nice audio and video players) are all Wayland-native but rely on Pulseaudio.

Firefox supports pipewire... for webcams??

Pipewire-pulse is no real change, but for sure I can do cool snakey things with the sound stream

Hi #Linux community, what's your reason to *not* use #Pipewire?

@m I posted about my previous endeavours a few years ago. I picked #Ubuntu Studio for the supposed no-hassle audio configuration after messing around with Jack & #Pulseaudio in regular Ubuntu, and the low latency I/O. I don't recall specifics wrt whether I needed #Carla or winetricks, but I remember the joy of discovering #yabridge. Most of the setup worked, but I got stranded trying to get the drag & drop part of the #EZDrummer midi clips from the #VST popup into a #DAW like #Ardour & #Reaper working. Cross-application UI interaction is apparently hard to get right with Wine on #Linux. Updating the applications involved later also gave me some trouble iirc.

I wanted to try #Mobian #Trixie on my #Librem5 again as I got a way to go back to #pulseaudio to as a work around to missing echo cancellation support in #pipewire (Thanks to @dos ). So I went ahead and ran the usual apt dis-upgrade way (in hindsight, may be gnome software was a better option). But I got locked out of the session as upgrade was progressing. So I had to force shut down and then use #JumpDrive to repair it from my laptop.

I documented it in #debian wiki
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Purism/Librem5Phone#Using_JumpDrive_and_qemu_to_get_emergency_access_to_your_system

We are aware of an issue where One UI 6.1 and above has introduced a bug that causes PulseAudio to be unable to find "libskcodec.so". We'll update our project docs accordingly.

#Linux audio is bizarrely confusing to a regular user lol - if I were to configure a #PulseAudio setting (i.e. clock.force-quantum) but obviously most systems now have moved to using #PipeWire, but from what I can tell or think to understand is that systems use PipeWire via something called #WirePlumber, should this (user-specific) configuration be done in a WirePlumber config, or PipeWire? I normally could learn these things easily through the #ArchWiki, but so far, this topic is completely lost on me lol.

TIL:

@linuxmint now uses #pipewire. If you want to work with #bluez and use #blueman as frontend, it will be reverted to #pulseaudio .

3 years ago, the blueman guys closed the pipewire support issue. Reason: We don't need that. Pulseaudio works and is well spread.

Does anybody know a good bluetooth frontend playing well with pipewire and cinnamon on #linux?

@kuketzblog ich kriege schon schweißausbrüche, wenn ich das nur lese. bzgl #dualboot Auf nem anderen PC hab ich noch immer eine freie Partition, weil der #GRUB #Bootloader irgendein Problem mit der Platte hat und einen Warnhinweis zeigt während der Installation. das größte problem wird für mich auch #audioproduktion sein. schon beim #audiorouting mit linux verstehe ich nix mehr, da geht in irgendwelche terminal welten mit #pipewire und #pulseaudio ganz zu schweigen von den ganzen #windows #vst

So, on Sunday, I bit the bullet, and got #Pipewire installed and replaced #PulseAudio.

So far, everything works better, but for some reason, my midi keyboard is acting weird in #ardour... I can't change the instrument there, I have to go to #qpwgraph to route the keyboard.

but hey, I'm one step closer to make music using #freeSoftware... now the only thing missing is... talent...

#easyeffects #linux #linuxaudio do you think you could have a volume slider or some mechanism when switching output interfaces to protect against instant 100% full volume headphones?

RIP my ears figuring out how to switch audio output.

At least with #pulseaudio or #pavucontrol there's a slider right there and you can quickly turn it down if you are fast enough instead of ripping them off your face.

Im fortunate enough to have had the open back kind, I can imagine closed would be even more crazy. Que Darth Vader from Back to the Future.

I learnt something important about Linux audio last night.

I noticed that I had no sound in X-Plane 12 (a flight simulator) while also being in a Discord call in Firefox. Apparently, certain FMOD applications check if PulseAudio is installed and fall back to ALSA if it isn't. Now, I have PipeWire installed to fix the mess that is Linux audio once and for all. So TECHNICALLY PulseAudio is not installed. And that's exactly what X-Plane detected, which then tried to gain complete control over the sound hardware through ALSA, which it couldn't.

The "fix" was to symlink `/bin/pulseaudio` to `/bin/true` to make it look like PulseAudio is available which tricked X-Plane into going through PulseAudio (and therefore through PipeWire) instead.

That was one of the weirdest problems I've ever encountered.
