My pipewire seems to have issues with crackling audio and severely dampening my mic and I have no clue why.
Still better than Windows.
Oh I had this issue and it drove me bonkers trying to fix it! I have to go digging a not to try and remember what fixed it in the end.
Sorry @luciferofastora@feddit.org, I got out of bed and completely forgot to actually go check what I did. My issue was under high load the audio would crackle, I could never quite establish if it was GPU or CPU, but at least it was during intenser moments in games. I played around a lot with the quantization that people in here have already suggested but it never fixed the crackling.
What finally solved it for me was to enable
threadirqs. You can do this withsudo kernelstub -a threadirqs. I don't entirely understand it, but I believe it makes the interrupted handler execute in threads.Thanks for remembering, checking and getting back to me! I'll look into that
threadirqsthing, thanks for the pointer!Nope, wired. Separate ports for input / output on the front of the case.
I'm still trying to figure out why the only real way of taking screenshots fast in Wayland is to do a video capture of the desktop with pipewire...
I don't know what you mean. I can just hit the print screen key on my keyboard and have a screenshot in my clipboard.
I need it to automate fishing in Minecraft, and the normal way to take screenshots in Python (which is one line with PIL) on Linux went from at least 30 possible fps on X11 to 2 on Wayland. The only way to do it fast enough then is to use Pipewire. Which is one hell of a convoluted mess. (The next part of this whole mess will be finding a way to send mouse clicks without having Minecraft registering a mouse move too in case xdotools stop working)
You need the print screen key for something else is what you're saying (I had trouble following your reply)?
Can only speak for KDE, but you can easily change the screenshot shortcut to something else in settings.
I'm writing a script that automatically take screenshots of the desktop (in particular the Minecraft game window) and then use OpenCV to do template matching to recognize if I've caught a fish or not.
If I use any usual screenshot capabilities of any python library, I simply cannot take pictures fast enough (at least 10 images per second) to have the script work (under Wayland the usual system top out at 2 images per second).
The only way fast enough I've found so far is to use Pipewire to create a livestream of the desktop and get frames of it to do the job.
And it is a complex mess. (At least I've found a (very basic and badly documented) library to do most of the work instead of having to work it all through Dbus myself.)
It's just that what once was a single line in my previous X11 script is now a full on script by itself, and I understand almost nothing of it.
Surely there's a better way to determine if you've caught a fish or not? Because damn...
The alternative is to create a multiplayer bot that directly speaks the network protocol. Mine simply looks for the relevant subtitles when fishing, and use template matching avoid bringing out a full on OCR. Others use audio cues to work. There's no real simple way to solve the problem there. Unless Mojang manage to make fishing not boring.
