obviously lots of these “just work” for most people.

    Fucking around with ALSA years ago gave me zero useful experience and zero audio capability. Fuck. I hate it.

    Pipewire seems to be working perfectly.

      It gives you abilities to fix the issue with PulseAudio where it unbalances the audio sometimes. So one side is louder than the other.

      Don’t have that issue since I use PipeWire

      I remember my first distro was Ubuntu 7.04. There was no Pipewire or Pulseaudio, only Alsa. By default it was not possible that two applications could play sound at the same time. It was only possible after some config hacking… I don’t miss those times.
