@midtsveen@social.linux.pizza1. Reinstall Pipewire: Because who needs audio, anyway?
2. Break System: The ultimate stress test – will it survive?
3. Reinstall GNOME: Time to bring back some sanity (and a working desktop).
4. System Back to Normal: Miracles do happen! Your computer is now functional again. Go celebrate!

Still using PulseAudio? Here is an introduction to @pipewire to get you familiar with how it works.
We have some exciting news: with funding from the @sovtechfund, we will be taking up some important work on @pipewire!

Does anyone know if it's possible to get #Pipewire to encode an audio output with Dolby Pro Logic? Like, this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_Pro_Logic
I am using a set of speakers right now that are fine in stereo, but theoretically I can do surround... They're a touch old though, obviously.
Coming up tomorrow on Day 1 at #FOSDEM in Brussels: A look at the bring up of #BlueZ as the #Bluetooth stack of a real-world #automotive in-vehicle infotainment system! Join us at 13:30 CEST in room H.1302! https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-6203-adopting-bluez-in-production-challenges-and-caveats/ #IVI #PipeWire #OpenSource #Embedded @pipewire
@ar@is-a.catif anyone needs a local sound box running pipewire with pulseaudio network protocol, airplay/raop, and bluetooth, feel free to take inspiration from:

I expect 1. and 2. to benefit developers because they allow issue report quality to increase a lot in certain areas.
3. should help in terms of stability - user services should of course usually not crash or panic, but we're often dealing with odd hardware and experimental drivers etc., so having e.g. the #pipewire server get restarted automatically after one of its plugins caused a crash is, well, very helpful.
We've been working behind the scenes on supporting more hearing aids 
on Linux.
It's been a fun ride, poking at the kernel, BlueZ and @pipewire, and we're not done yet.

@governa@fosstodon.org#Ubuntu Studio 22.04 To 24.04 Upgrade Breaks Due To #PipeWire And #PulseAudio Conflict
Ubuntu Studio users are experiencing widespread failures when attempting in-place upgrades from 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS. The root cause appears to be a conflict arising from the optional switchability between PipeWire and PulseAudio sound servers in Ubuntu Studio 24.04.
Independent Distro #NixOS 24.11 Released with #GNOME 47 and #KDE Plasma 6.2, #PipeWire by Default https://9to5linux.com/nixos-24-11-released-with-gnome-47-and-kde-plasma-6-2-pipewire-by-default
