From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Follow-up for surround sound config. (self.linux)

well it's less about surround and more about sinks in general. I have 3 hardware sinks. My headphones, my monitor and my mic for some reason has a headphone jack. When I pick the virtual surround sink as default it works perfectly. However the device I'm hearing the sounds from is uncontrollable. It likes to choose my microphone, so I get no sound. The way I figured out I can temporarily change this is by setting the default to my headset, and back to surround.

Now I wouldn't want to do this every time I start listening to anything. How can I make it so that the virtual sink's output is at a specified device. Or alternatively I looked into, maybe I can just disable these unused sinks, turns out I can only turn off alsa ports, which won't do as it'd disable my microphone's source part as well.

Arch, kde, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber is installed but I didn't find a use for it so far

and I haven't even touched Eqs and bitrates. I fear I'm gonna post a lot. You guys are the only reliable source fr, I read a bunch of docs on a bunch of sites, asked any way I could two AIs.. nothing. is it even possible to do this?
