Pipewire and Wayland are boss brothers
-
Both Wayland and Pipewire have been the direct cause of unusable VMs. Replacing them with Xorg and Pulse makes all the VMs usable again. This has been the case in VMWare, Virtualbox, and Hyper-V. VMs in Proxmox have been less problematic but still problematic.
-
This is, without any doubt, user error.
If you find genuine issues like this, submit the reports. Otherwise it just sounds like pretentious elitism
-
What issues have you encountered with using a VM with Pipewire and Wayland? My VMs are doing just fine...
-
Running KDE Plasma Wayland (with XWayland) with PulseAudio replaced with PipeWire. I can use Virtualbox just fine.
-

Pipewire is amazing. Linux had issues with Bluetooth audio that Pipewire finally fixed.
-
It's not that pipewire is amazing, pipewire works.
It's just that pulseaudio was written by people who hate software.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The PipeWire audio and video streams solution for the Linux desktop is planning its big version "1.0" release for later in the year.
In response to an issue ticket around whether a 1.0 release is coming or perhaps a year/month based versioning format, PipeWire founder Wim Taymans of Red Hat confirmed plans for releasing PipeWire 1.0 later in the year.
The missing feature that is being worked on prior to PipeWire 1.0 is an IRQ-based ALSA driver for professional audio purposes that can match the latency of JACK.
A solution to that feat is currently being worked on via this Git branch.
So with a bit of luck, PipeWire 1.0 will be out later in 2023 to succeed the long-running 0.3.xx releases.
A PipeWire 1.0 release makes sense given that PipeWire is now widely used on the Linux desktop for audio and video streams, heavily relied upon in a Wayland and Flatpak world, and has proven itself stable for quite some time and being quite a versatile solution.

Did you even try?

Hi bot, you forgot the ! after “0%”

wait... it ain't 1.0 yet, but it still fully works? noice!

Bitcoin Core went from 0.20.1 to 0.21 to 0.21.1 to 22.0 in 2021. Even though it was completely functional for over a decade at that point and was handling billions of dollars in transactions
-
I love reading Pro Audio in an article. If Linux would handle audio softwares and interface just a little better, I could ditch win and macOS forever.
-
Linux Audio is past maturity. It's at the point of covering edge cases and improving further.
-
I had to buy new speakers to get Pipewire or Pulseaudio to work with 5.1 speakers as the channels were completely messed up otherwise. Worked perfectly on windows and the speakers work perfectly hooked up to my TV as well.
Virtual 5.1 isn't as good but it at least works.
-
What are you talking about? Linux handles audio just fine.
-
Lol, maybe for you, but definitly not for everyone. I work in audio, it's my job, so i need to do advanced audio stuff. I have two computer on Linux and neither can properly use 2 out of 3 interfaces I've tried. They all work fine under macOS and wndows. Many plugins dont work under linux, others requires a lot of tweaking. Those are just a few examples. I really like Linux but it's not yet capable to replace the other OS for pro audio work. I wish it was but its not the case rn.

Pipewire has been great, except for some edge cases
Still got passthrough issues 2years later
-
Pipewire doesn't work in games for me so I switched back to Pulse. No issues since.
-
Have you filed an issue with all the necessary information, so one of the devs can try to investigate?
-
@carter@feddit.uk plead the Fifth! 🤫

I'm not the only one! It doesn't work with my sound bar, and the developers think that editing 3 (!) obscure config files is an acceptable workaround.
