Hi,
I'm a podcaster and therefore I need a functional audio environment.
Currently I use pulseaudio on a Fedora 33 system. Works for me.
Will this also work if I upgrade to Fedora 34?
Is there an equivalent to pavucontrol? I need it to adjust
the level of my external audio interface?
I'm heavy interested in any experience - especially pitfalls - before
I start the upgrade.
When I upgraded from F32 to F33 pulseaudio changed from something with a
few quirks, to something very troublesome. The main issue was I had to
restart pulseaudio several times after logging in before it would
actually find my audio devices. I found the cure was to switch to
pipewire. The main long term quirk I had with pulseaudio was that
sometimes starting an app, particularly chrome, would make the sound
distort, and pulseaudio had to be restarted to recover from this. I
haven't seen this problem since changing to pipewire. pipewire does seem
to show up in a "top" report as using a bit more CPU. This might be
because it is mixing in floating point, or because it just hasn't been
that well optimised so far, but its CPU load is only a few percent.
I have not used the jack side of pipewire. I have no idea how well that
works.
