| rustyaxe | been trying to figure out why my sound broke every time i'd pause or stop playing audio; something recently drug in pulseaudio despite having pipewire installed. apt purge pulseaudio; sudo killall -9 pulseaudio then a logout and back in fixed it. | 17:02 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | rustyaxe: i still think they only made pipewire because pulseaudio ran out of bugs. the best strategy for now is to switch back, or just ditch them both | 17:59 |
| rustyaxe | gnarface: pipewire's been working grea for me | 18:26 |
| rustyaxe | far less troubles than poopaudio gave me, for sure. I had gone back to just using dmix in alsa for the longest time to avoid poopaudio. Then pipewire came along and brought new hope | 18:27 |
| Hurgotron | rustyaxe: It's surprising how much more pleasant Linux gets if you axe ALL the poetteringsoft. I also had nothing but trouble with avahi. It's among the first things getting nuked when I do a fresh install | 18:53 |
| gnarface | rustyaxe: oh, maybe i misunderstood your statement | 18:57 |
| gnarface | in this as well as other channels, a frequent cause of issues has been "upgrading" pulseaudio to pipewire, and rolling back turned out to be the simplest fix | 18:58 |
| gnarface | that sequence of events has cropped up a lot, and it coincided with the one pulseaudio system i have here running out of showstopper bugs | 18:59 |
| gnarface | so, i'm not just pulling this out of my ass here, i have gathered enough data points to form a solid line with them | 18:59 |
| gnarface | i have avoided both, now that i've figured out how | 19:00 |
| gnarface | but i still think it's not common knowledge that it's even possible | 19:00 |
