The duck can't actually say anything because his sound drivers randomly stopped working.

[-] __dev@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

In recent memory I've had both a microphone driver bug in Linux and one in macOS with specific hardware. Only one of them was fixed with an update.

[-] Voyager@psychedelia.ink 1 points 1 year ago

Have you tried opening an issue with the drivers developers?

[-] __dev@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

My experience with Apple issue reporting is that you're speaking into a void.

Seriously, pipewire is so much better than pulse. I remember having lots of sound issues on my laptop. Sound randomly becoming extremely distorted until I stopped and started playback, microphone volume resetting to 100% earraping everyone in discord calls, random pops and cracks... All of this was fixed by switching to pipewire

how make microphone volume not be able to go down from 100% when i switch to linux mint

[-] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

That would be really annoying (when I would use sound)

On the other hand, the Nvidia card I use refuses to work via the external monitor (USB-C) at power on when plugged in. Power on, then plug in, then I have screen... weird.

  • Apple: We support apple hardware
  • Microsoft: We support hardware from this list
  • Linux: You want support, write it yourself.
  • Nvidia: You want support, use windows
  • Laptop developers: You want performance, oh, you're a gamer, here have a Nvidia card.

You might ask, why a laptop: power consumption for the moments I don't need power. I don't want QHD on 17", 24" is better for my aging eyes so external monitor is a requirement. (previous one had 4K on 15", cheapest screen option to buy)

Who out there using computers without sound?

I bet you say it was your own choice as well to miss a standard feature.

"Why yes, I do use a computer without a monitor, I have memorised everything! No don't look behind the curtain at the shattered monitor, it was my own choice!"

Literally anyone who wants to use a laptop in public withough annoying everyone around them.

I use my computers without sound, until I watch a vid (I use headphones for that). I hate the constant beeps for attention. Same with tablets, no sound, not even when playing a game. The only device that is allowed to make a sound is the phone. (and then very limited)

[-] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I literally never got sound working on Ubuntu. MSI motherboard, Phenom II quad at the time.

[-] nintendiator@feddit.cl 3 points 1 year ago

Sure, if you go with that ~~attitude~~ PulseAudio.

Uninstalled it for ALSA on every (every) machine I've touched that has to do audio, and haven't had issues since 2015.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know if pulse ever worked right

[-] nintendiator@feddit.cl 1 points 1 year ago

When it made people switch back to ALSAyes it did. ;)
