From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Tip for noisy microphones while using pipewire: importing module-echo-cancel from pulseaudio (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I just wanted to share a tip here, as my microphone is shit. In pulseaudio I could fix with that module, now in pipewire I just imported the module, configuring the file ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/99-echo-cancel.conf with:

context.exec = [
    {
        path = "pactl"
        args = "load-module module-echo-cancel aec_method=webrtc aec_args=\"analog_gain_control=0 digital_gain_control=1\""
    }
]

After this, restarting pipewire with systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse, the source appeared and the sound from the Echo-Cancel Source is much cleaner than my microphone.

As I don't hear anything talking about this, this might be valuable information.

Edit: crosspost

I've been playing a little with pipewire, this is another cool tip!

I've been impressed with the snapcast discover module! but the latest time i added it to a machine (bazzite desktop) it also sees every device on my network that can take an audio stream? and interrupts each of them any time i pull up the volume menu from the panel tray.

i tried specifying the snapcast sever instead of zeroconf but no luck yet

I love snapcast, and I haven't tried ROC yet, but you may want to investigate it. Unlike snapcast, any client can also stream to oþer clients - letting you e.g. steam from you're phone to your home audio system. Maybe it'll fix your issues.

I want þe feature; I just have to carve out time to reconfigure everyþing.

Interesting! Didn't know about that, good to know!
