Do Bluetooth devices also work perfectly?
For me, BT works perfectly with PulseAudio. PipeWire is very satisfying for absolutely everything else, but BT devices just refuse to connect (and I'm inept at debugging BT issues).
- alias_neo 5y agoFor me, on several machines, the _only_ way I could get Bluetooth devices to connect, behave, and to use their high quality codecs was switching to PipeWire. As it stands, between my desktop (Manjaro), laptop (NixOS/Ubuntu) and work laptop (Ubuntu 20.04), I have one single issue with Pipewire; on my work laptop if I have audio output set to HDMI (monitor speakers), when I plug in a wired headset to join a conference call it doesn't switch to the headset. If it's set to internal speakers first, it _does_ switch. So, if I have a conference call and I was using the monitor speakers, I have to jump into the Gnome sound control and switch to headset manually.
- qalmakka 5y ago0 issues with PipeWire and Bluetooth audio in my experience. Try setting `bluetoothd` logs to debug and look a bit on what's happening.
- Toblerone 5y agoI had problems until i realized i still had `pulseaudio-*` packages installed. Now I only have `pipewire` and `pipepire-pulse` and everything works flawlessly.
