I know you video was from little over 2 years ago and that self-deprecating humor was a common joke back then but I want to take time in the modern time to say to you. Your content is no trash by any means, this video was fantastic, I'm pretty sure you know that and my message isn't very useful but in case : that video truly was amazing

[@4polelowpass]

This is the second new video I've watched about Pipewire today. Looks like Pipewire is gaining traction, which is nice to see!

I wish I had found this video this past weekend! This has been a HUGE help for sure! And it's not 6 years old and outdated either. :)

[@Denshi]

it's the "Map" song from the SNES videogame, Waterworld.

What's the song that starts at 0:42 ?

i would switch to pipewire right now, if it would have a fully functioning easy to understand volume mixer like pavucontrol/alsamixer that actually saves your volume levels. are there any programs that do just that for pipewire?

Awesome video Denshi. An interesting channel you have going on. 😊

[@cdub5033]

audio from fresh intstall unmodified is completely messed up. speakers buzz like they’re shorting, output device options have disappeared in sound settings. somehow everything has installed wrong, I’ve been trying to fix it with chat-GPT. pipewire refuses to start for some reason.

[@Rednunzio]

trying to install pipewire-jack requires replacing jack but many packages are dependent. Do you have a well-made guide on how to make the complete switch to pipewire?

[@Denshi]

programs like carla might not work easily without jack; I didn't experience this when switching over personally, most programs are fine with the switch.

[@dexedrine404]

I've just been using the "pipewire-media-session" this entire time, should I switch to the pulse/jack instead? Or "WirePlumber" maybe?

[@vimproved]

pipewire is 3 different actual commands: pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and the media session. pipewire-media-session is the old media session, wireplumber is newer and more stable in my experience

[@toxiccan175]

I used to casually game on a customized Debian Stable system. It used Pulse Audio. Pulse didn't work perfect at first, but 3 small changes in the server settings made it perfect. It worked with my Bluetooth headphones and there was no crackling in games after the simple tweaks. Pipewire on the other hand, I used on a Garuda system. It didn't work with my headphones and it crackled in games.

[@The8BitHero]

How to you get it to remember different things? Like I assigned discord to some outputs, but I guess discord is running chrome on the backend. I will open a tab in my web broswer and pipewire thinks it's my discord output. Very confusing.

[@ZajetyOfficial]

How to do that Just with obs studio and Mixxx? I mean I'm a streamer and I need to grab sound from Mixxx to obs studio and I want to hear it in my speakers, but sometimes I need to Open chrome and listem something, but I don't wanna put that to stream. How I can do it with it?

[@Denshi]

Sorry about that, my microphone was dying at the time and I didn't know. I have a new one now and no noise is audible on recordings with Pipewire. I'd also like to add that Pipewire can be tweaked and may require some tweaking depending on the intensity of the audio work you might be doing, especially when lower latency is required.

[@christopherstaples6758]

how do i get my alsa working again ?

[@4Nanook]

I had pulseaudio running PERFECT, even with an eight core kernel compile, no stuttering. Now Ubuntu 23.04 introduced pipewire and audio stutters BADLY with nothing else running except wine / Winamp as audio source. And this on an 8core i7-9900k clocked at 4.9ghz with 32GB of RAM and a WD 2TB SSD nvme, ought to be more than sufficient resources for the task and with pulse it was. I thought nobody could possibly write more fucked up code than Poettering but the authors of pipewire have no dispelled me of that belief. Of course if there were some documentation showing how to increase buffer sizes to stop the underruns that might be helpful but there is a total dirth of documentation.

[@MisakaMikotoDesu]

Modern linux developers take the Apple approach by telling you what you need. Difference is that Apple can actually enforce changes and keep things consistent, whereas on Linux we just keep getting more and more and more fragmentation.

[@SynthOSphere]

@@MisakaMikotoDesu That is the BIGGEST issue for me with Linux right now (has been for years and why I left years ago but it wasn’t very mature back then. Now more mature and user friendly, but even more fragmentation… Bad)

What the hell is wrong with your voice. It’s so damn soothing.

[@intelligenceservices]

need to uninstall pipewire. can't do it. googled the hell out of it, followed every tip i found. pipewire sound server remains active, cannot remove it. the reason i want it gone is that i want to run Cardinal Modular Synthesizer Native and due to pipewire, no audio output from this software is visible to the mixer (or qpwgraph). Same with Vital Synthesizer Standalone.

[@SynthOSphere]

Did you end up succeeding ? From the various comments read here and in other vids comments, Pipewire seems like a LOT of trouble and conflicts. But vid is 2 years old and some comments 1 year old. So maybe things are better now? Maybe new recent distros fix these issues?

[@intelligenceservices]

@@SynthOSphere it's smoothed out, but it wasn't fun to transition from an existing system when it was still new. i don't know what it does still to this day. one more name in a list of thousands of names of different software libraries and codecs and drivers to be aware of. but in this case on a new install, i just picked pipewire i think, but maybe it's considered a default now on arch. fine with me as long as it works. so far so good on vanilla arch.

[@IanLetarte]

Okay, I'm gonna send it. Here's hoping it doesn't JACK up my system... :P

[@DeRaafMedia]

Routing audio streams is one thing, more important for audio production is latency. Pipewire is not a Jack replacment in that regards.

[@NathanShirley]

But you can use Jack with Pipewire as he seems to be doing in this video (JackCTL). Is that correct? I've read that Pipewire + Jack offers better latency than PulseAudio + Jack.

[@DeRaafMedia]

@@NathanShirley I know, hence my comment that Pipewire is not a Jack replacement. Pulse Audio in combination with Jack is more flexible, stable in my experience (my reasonable extended homestudio runs exclusive on GNU/Linux) than Pipewire. Every time I see an update of Pipewire I fear what will happen to my system. Routing in Carla is so much more flexible than any of the graphical solutions build on Pipewire. And Carla runs really bad in Pipewire if at all. I think pipewire is build with gamers/streamers in mind, and not with people who could really benefit from an audioserver overhaul on GNU/Linux, namely musicians and audio producers.

[@NathanShirley]

@@DeRaafMedia That's good to know. I'm currently using PulseAudio + Jack, but on a new laptop have run into what appears to be a conflict between something Jack is doing and the computer. I'm running Mint/Cinnamon which in 21 seems to be more friendly towards Pipewire, so have been considering giving it a try.

[@DeRaafMedia]

@@NathanShirley At the moment I experience the whole audio server landscape on Linux as a bit of a cluster F" . Was really hoping pipewire could set historical "errors" right, but that hope decreased a bit after working with it in the practice of my home studio. Now Pulse (some plugins don't work with pipewire), Pipewire (some plugins don´t work well with Pulse) and Jack (well Jack seem to be all confused at the moment) are giving me grieve ... Personally not a really fun time, not getting the things done that I want to get done,. Even thinking about a Windows partition, but that would be the worst choice by far to make IMHO.

[@DeRaafMedia]

@@NathanShirley At the moment the practical implementation of the whole audio server landscape on GNU/Linux is a bit of a cluster F" IMHO. It even tempts me with the thought installing a Windows partition on my system for audio production. Worst thing is the really, really bad documentation of pipewire in particular .

[@MisakaMikotoDesu]

So we replace OSS with ALSA, then we decide that we need pulse, then we decide that pulse is not enough and we need pipewire on top of that. What's next? SystemD audio?

[@bitwolfy]

Amazingly, working directly with the kernel isn't exactly easy or fun, Pulse was a needed innovation to bring a common api that supports things like yknow, applications having independent volumes, mind boggling features I know. PW isn't running so much ontop of pulse as much as it is remplementing it, you cant even have the standard pulse server installed at the same time. PW simply allows all the standards to talk to one another in a seamless way + decent screensharing support.
