 You probably just need to give yourself lots more headroom in the alsa-monitor. (re @bittin1: had those wierd audio stutter the whole day so think my system is not really ready for pipewire)
 does pipewire use alsa? (re @rscholar: You probably just need to give yourself lots more headroom in the alsa-monitor.)
 Naturally, you can't have sound on Linux without ALSA or OSS.
 Try grep -Hrni 'api.alsa.headroom' /etc/pipewire
 bittin@rarity ~> grep -Hrni 'api.alsa.headroom' /etc/pipewire
 /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf:203:    #        #api.alsa.headroom      = 0
 /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/alsa-monitor.conf:102:                #api.alsa.headroom      = 0
 You've probably still got zeros; trade them in for at least 1024 and it makes a world of difference.
 oh how do i do that?
 just change in that config file with a text editor?
 Correct, and you also have to uncomment those lines by removing the leading octothorpe (# symbol)
 alright trying
 Also note that there are two files that need to be modified.
 yep changed both to 1024 and hoping it works better
 You'll also need to restart your computer or at the very least logout and login again to experience the effects of the changes.
 alright trying
 yeah sounds better now thanks @rscholar :)
 That's what I do; glad to hear that you got some improvement. 👍🏼
 marked my bug as solved, thanks @rscholar :)
 now i can listen to the music competition at https://www.twitch.tv/shadowstreamed http://shadow-party.org/ with working audio
 If you really want some great sounding audio, double that headroom value and then install pulseeffects 5.0.3 from my PPA...and try to keep your jaw from contacting the floor. 😄
 might do that later, thanks for the tip
 You bet. sudo add-apt-repository -ysP roguescholar/snapshots && apt install pulseeffects will get you all set up in one shot if you decide to give it a whirl later.
 *saves*
 nice to have working audio again
 and can listen to music without microstutters and slowdowns etc
 Is it worth reporting the fix upstream as a quirk for your hardware? Not sure if they have already started building a list of device specific quirks in pipewire? (re @bittin1: nice to have working audio again)
 you tell me, i dunno its the integrated soundcard on this motherboard: https://www.gigabyte.com/se/Motherboard/GA-Z97X-Gaming-5-rev-10 (re @ahayzen: Is it worth reporting the fix upstream as a quirk for your hardware? Not sure if they have already started building a list of device specific quirks in pipewire?)
 Realtek ALC1150 115dB SNR HD Audio  its an older Haswell Refresh system
 Personally I'd report what you found upstream here https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues if they do apply a fix it helps others and means you'd get the fix too. If they don't then nothing is lost and at least it's documented for others to find online :-) (re @bittin1: you tell me, i dunno its the integrated soundcard on this motherboard: https://www.gigabyte.com/se/Motherboard/GA-Z97X-Gaming-5-rev-10)
 alright gonna remember to do that tomorrow when i am not watching a french online demoparty (re @ahayzen: Personally I'd report what you found upstream here https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues if they do apply a fix it helps others and means you'd get the fix too.

 you found a workaround, but that doesn't mean its solved, as it isn't solved for the average user. (re @bittin1: marked my bug as solved, thanks @rscholar :))
 greetings to Ubuntu in an Amstrad CPC demo :D
 guess i can change it back later if someone wants, well the information is still there and here (re @philipz: you found a workaround, but that doesn't mean its solved, as it isn't solved for the average user.)
 @philipz @ahayzen @rscholar reopening that bug and reporting it on the pipewire side now too

 there we go
 Welp. I broke it. I had Ubuntu Unity running on my Pi 400. Really wanted to get GZDOOM to play properly, so I followed the instructions to hand-compile Mesa 21.2.0-devel. Now I have a background and no menus or anything. There were some issues getting Unity to work, but they had resolved themselves and it was running nicely. Not a huge deal because I can re-image. Is there a group dedicated to Ubuntu on the Pi?
 this is not a support channel and there's no Ubuntu on a Pi group (re @Zachariah: Welp. I broke it. I had Ubuntu Unity running on my Pi 400.

 Thanks. That's why I asked if there was a group, not for help from this group as I am aware it's not for support. However, I do have a lot of testing information to share. (re @Mekaneck_Grayskull: try asking here:    https://t.me/ubuntuunitydiscuss   or here https://t.me/ubuntusupport)
 Do you know anyone who speaks Spanish, English, Portuguese fluently?
 Sweet 👍 (re @bittin1: @philipz @ahayzen @rscholar reopening that bug and reporting it on the pipewire side now too)
 and still have problems with the audio when voicechatting on Discord so its not fully solved (re @philipz: you found a workaround, but that doesn't mean its solved, as it isn't solved for the average user.)
