Oblomov<p>For a while now I haven't been able to access both mic and earphones of this headset with the plug/unplug/replug dance.</p><p>HOWEVER, I've noticed that both are correctly detected by <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/ALSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ALSA</span></a> (alsamixer shows both, at least), so this appears to be a problem further down the line (either in <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/PulseAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PulseAudio</span></a> or <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/Pipewire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pipewire</span></a>).</p><p>I don't suppose anyone has an idea how to debug (or even better solve) this?

Mika<p><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> audio is bizarrely confusing to a regular user lol - if I were to configure a <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/PulseAudio" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PulseAudio</a> setting (i.e. <code>clock.force-quantum</code>) but obviously most systems now have moved to using <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/PipeWire" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PipeWire</a>, but from what I can tell or think to understand is that systems use PipeWire via something called <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/WirePlumber" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WirePlumber</a>, should this (user-specific) configuration be done in a WirePlumber config, or PipeWire? I normally could learn these things easily through the <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/ArchWiki" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArchWiki</a>, but so far, this topic is completely lost on me lol.</p>
Val 🏳️‍⚧️<p>No sé si desde ayer o antier, pero estuve teniendo fallas al reproducir vídeos de YouTube en mi computadora. Al principio creí que era por tener uBlock Origin, pero luego me di cuenta que eran todos los vídeos, tanto por internet como incluso los que ya tenía en mi computadora. Y trasteando un poco más, me di cuenta que el problema no eran los vídeos, sino el sonido como tal.</p><p>Resulta que desde siempre uso <a href="https://tkz.one/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>, pero parece que apenas estos días, los servidores de sonido como <a href="https://tkz.one/tags/PulseAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PulseAudio</span></a> o <a href="https://tkz.one/tags/ALSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ALSA</span></a> ya no funcionan como tal, y deben ser reemplazados con PipeWire.</p><p>Igual y podría haber una solución menos drástica, pero como a mí me funcionó, les paso el dato.</p>
