I made a no-dependency client library for PulseAudio in zig called Pulsar. I just released version 0.1.0 https://codeberg.org/desttinghim/pulsar/src/tag/0.1.0

Yet another #debian #linux installation and yet another frantic search for how to remove #pipewire and revert back to #pulseaudio It could be that I'm just getting old & and grumpy, but all these new-fangled, untested & backward-incompatible solutions for problems that don't exist are really beginning to get on my nerves.

Just wondering if there are any #linux users around with good experience with #pulseaudio .

Having an issue with some headset mics where the audio keeps dropping out from optimal 50-60% down to 25-30% and therefore having to re-adjust the mic volume in pulse audio volume control all the time. However I set it, it keeps dropping down.

I've been using Linux on my desktop for nearly 30 years and i still don't understand how to get sound working properly and reliably.

Searching for some kind of distro-agnostic 2025 Linux audio general best practices guide... What should I be using (ALSA, jack, pulse, pipewire?), how can I configure multiple sound devices (onboard, HDMI, USB, Bluetooth), set my preferred inputs and outputs and levels on each, toggle between them properly, and have those settings persist after logout, reboot, or removal/addition of devices?

Hello je cherche de l'#aide pour configurer le mode passtrougth de mon #kodi21 sous linuxmint 21.3 vers mon ampli Denon AVR-X520BT.

Après avoir essuyer pas mal de déboires avec #pulseaudio, j'ai bien du son qui sort via le passtrougth, mais c'est un bruit moche quelque soit le format de son du film (AC3, AAC, DTS).

Auriez vous une idée s'il vous plaît ?

I just had to remove #pipewire :( Upgrading to #Fedora 40 resulted in nonworking sound. Back to #pulseaudio .

Interestingly, my other computer upgraded fine and I play games with pipewire now.

Let me remind you of an old feature in PulseAudio which is thankfully set to disabled by default.

This “feature” was causing the volume of my headset & speakers to be set from 25% to 100% every time a desktop notification pops up.

Let’s say I’m listening to music and I set the volume to 25% for my headset. A short while later, a notification popped up on the bottom-right of my screen (I use KDE btw) and the song suddenly starts playing at 100% volume.

This hurt my ears the first time it happened. Luckily there was no permanent damage but it made me worry enough that I spend some time researching the cause and fix.

After couple of hours, I discovered “flat-volume” feature in PulseAudio was the problem. This silly feature was enabled by default and so it kept changing volume of output device acc to audio device whether its desktop notification or a website’s stupid popup video ad autoplaying without my permission.

I wrote a strongly worded txt file back then that goes into detail.

The fix is to set flat-volumes = no inside /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and restart the system.

#Ubuntu Studio 22.04 To 24.04 Upgrade Breaks Due To #PipeWire And #PulseAudio Conflict

Ubuntu Studio users are experiencing widespread failures when attempting in-place upgrades from 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS. The root cause appears to be a conflict arising from the optional switchability between PipeWire and PulseAudio sound servers in Ubuntu Studio 24.04.

Wie kann ich Audio bei #Linux direkt von der Soundkarte in eine Datei schreiben? Es geht ums legale Mitschneiden von Webradio, Audiospuren eigener Videos oder von eigenen Vorträgen.

LINUXHJÄLPEN! LJUD!
Jag har någon sorts problem med konflikt mellan Musescore, Reaper, ALSA och Pulse audio som gör att antingen så kan inte Reaper spela ljud, eller så kan inte Musescore det.
Jag vet inte vilket forum som kan hjälpa mig. Jag har testat alla fixes som finns för Musescore på deras olika forum, men det hjälper inte. Reaper fungerar egentligen felfritt.
Jag använder inte JACK. Är det det som är problemet?

Quelqu'un connait un bon moyen d'intercaler un équaliseur entre jackd et la sortie audio ? Ou dans pulseAudio ? Je cherche un moyen de réduire les basses pour le soir/la nuit sans changer le réglage très minutieux de mon caisson de basse.

J'ai cherché mais pas trouvé de trucs *qui fonctionne*

Your input requested for DAW Live

It has been a long time since I had a serious look at my audio software set, and the Slackware DAW Live ISO image which is meant to showcase all of that software.

Life interfered and priorities shifted.

Now I am looking at 2025 and the Christmas holiday week which precedes it, an
