NixOS and Linux (Pro) Audio

It’s advised in the docs, probably to switch off some (pulseaudio?) legacy stuff? (But omitting that attribute is the same as explicitly disabling it (see default), I have it because it makes the config more self-documenting.)

Thank you. Yes, self-documenting is great!

I’ve recently switched to pipewire, mainly because it doesn’t seem that pulse audio is getting much support now. It fixed a few things, but lots of things are still broken.

It’s a bit of a whack-a-mole situation. It’s not really practical to address these things individually. There really needs to be a central NixOS audio entity to look after things and to make it easier for us to help each other. I’m trying to get one established on the Matrix server now.

OK, we have a room https://app.element.io/#/room/#audio:nixos.org

If anyone would care to join me in discussing audio concerns, please do!
