PipeWire - ArchWiki

Why do they even include settings by default which introduce crackling and hissing noises?

I found that even starting with resample.quality = 7 I couldn’t hear any difference, younger people (like teenagers) might be able to distinguish 8-9. Maybe use 8 as a default value?

    What do you need to do with paprefs? I found that other Pulseaudio related software works pretty well if you have pipewire-pulse installed, e.g. PulseMeeter.

        Use PulseMeeter, you can do a simultaneous output with it. It’s basically the Linux version of the VoiceMeeter Banana program for Windows.

        FWIW, I get the same error, in text form for discoverability via search engine:

        (paprefs:68653): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 07:28:23.188: Settings schema 'org.freedesktop.pulseaudio.module-group' is not installed

            But they said it should work better with pulseaudio

            However, it works perfectly fine for me on Arch Linux with Pipewire-Pulse. Garuda Linux is pretty similar, so I’d recommend just using Pipewire.

            Pipewire-Pulse actually translates API calls to Pulseaudio for Pipewire.
