TBF I haven’t had a sound issue after Linux mint switched to pipewire.
I haven’t had a sound issue since I unplugged the speakers
I installed Mint on an old laptop and had sound issues with external speakers. Spent 30 mins trouble shooting until I realized there was something with the port that if you fully pushed in the aux cable, it went in too much and the contacts don’t fully meet. There was a sweet spot where the cord is plugged in correctly but not pushed in too much.
I want to like pipewire but configuration is a hell scape of configuration files that bare no resemblance to any I’ve dealt with before, and doesn’t recognise my audio interface probably so I have to just fully stop all pw services and use jack for Ardour.
You have to configure it???
Fuck around with pipewire and pulseaudio and find out
I feel like the last time I installed Linux and had any issues with sound or internet or anything like that has to be at least 15 years ago
This might be a dumb question, but why are so many people saying they have sound issues? Did I just get lucky with the pc’s I have run Linux on and never have sound problems?
In the beginning there was oss, and then there was alsa. In the alsa days it was easy to get any given thing to work, but sometimes it was hard to make two separate things work at the same time.
Pulseaudio fixed this, but it took a long time, distros didn’t start adopting it until 2008 or so, and back then it wasn’t all that solid.
The meme makes no sense now that we have pipewire, but it’d have been fair between 1998 and 2009, depending on your configuration and usage case.
Lmfao my SteamDeck’s audio broke for some reason while I was messing with Lutris (because yaRrr 🏴☠️), so I had to copy-paste a random redditor’s terminal commands into konsole and I honestly am not knowledged enough to know if it was malicious, but it had a few upvotes and was up for more than a week without getting taken down, so I just assume it’s probably fine.
One of these days, I’m gonna copy paste malware into the terminal lol.
install tldr and run it on the command and it should give you a general idea what the command is doing.

Its not funny. Why does this shit keep popping up on linuxmemes. Its not true (anymore). Just use Beginner Friendly Distros and you will never face any of this shit… So stop being afraid of a fucking terminal you dork.
Edit: if you complain about your software or hardware not working shutdown your devices and go take a walk in nature and reflect about the fact that you are too stupid to write your own working code for software or build your own chips from a pile of sand or even realize why you even have to use computers as a human being in this short blib of a lifetime in this incomprehensible thing we call universe and instead have to rely upon contributed work of others. But I guess you are unable since your feelings are getting manipulated by a fucking comment on a lemmy community post which makes you angry and nOw I NeEd To ClAriFy StUfF AbOuT LiNux aNd hOw ShIt It ActUaLly StiLl is aNd HaVe To TeLL EvErYoNe oN ThE InTerNeT viA a LemMY CoMmEnT ;((((. Lol you dorks.
Edit2: Yes Linux works like shit at times. Its a frustrating mess sometimes. BuT AtLeAsT mY wOrD DoCuMenTs aRe NoT UpLoAdEd to ThE ClOuD.
