I got interesting news from the fedora accessibility room today! this concerns blind and visually impaired #linux users exclusively, however: For a bit of time, specifically pipewire >=1.4, one can start pipewire as root. That includes the regular daemon and the alsa layer, because jack emulation...

      Do you have FluidSynth installed? I had similar issues recently - I just have a script that restarts pipewire automatically on login.

      I also have a DAC connected via USB to my laptop but I have never experienced this. Which distro are you on?

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.
