     Alright everyone, crisis averted. I fixed it by updating my time-honored Linux audio repair techinque of "uninstall pulseaudio" to "make sure that neither pulseaudio nor pipewire are installed".

     The more things change the more they stay the same 😌

     is pipewire literally just "what if we just gave pulse audio all of jack's problems"?

     @soulsource @aeva yeah I wasn't joking

     I haven't tried pipewire yet but before that, alsa was the only way I could reliability play audio on my machine, pulse would constantly tell me my sound card stopped existing or drop the volume by 50% unprompted

     alsa just works, 100% of the time, for what I want

     @aeva @technomancy Honestly though: If one doesn't need to change audio outputs frequently, ALSA (with dmix because modern sound chips don't do hardware mixing for reasons) is perfectly fine.

     @technomancy lets make protest signs that say "FREE ALSA" and "ALSA DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG" and hang out in front of the redhat office
