Re-creation of someone else's post because the original was removed and I found it funny when I first saw it
You're viewing a single thread.
The duck can't actually say anything because his sound drivers randomly stopped working.
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.
Have you tried opening an issue with the drivers developers?
My experience with Apple issue reporting is that you're speaking into a void.
PipeWire for life
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
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)
- Microsoft: hardware supports us
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!"
Deaf people.
Literally anyone who wants to use a laptop in public withough annoying everyone around them.
Who out there using computers without sound?
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)
I literally never got sound working on Ubuntu. MSI motherboard, Phenom II quad at the time.
Sure, if you go with that
attitudePulseAudio.Uninstalled it for ALSA on every (every) machine I've touched that has to do audio, and haven't had issues since 2015.
I don't know if pulse ever worked right
When it made people switch back to ALSAyes it did. ;)
