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.

KDE Neon / Pipewire issues when gaming (lemm.ee)

Hi guys! So I seem to have audio issues. Audio will mute for like 5 seconds every 20 seconds or so. It's very annoying, as it can make you miss whole parts of dialog. It only happens on linux, and only on gaming, so I guess it means the amp/surround system is ok. I use the TV HDMI output for audio, as it gets redirected to the 5.1 amp via ARC. This works flawlessly for most scenarios, but somehow it seems to get into trouble when in games. I've tried so far games based on Proton (Cyberpunk, Alan Wake...original, not remake). I'm using lates KDE Neon, with Pipewire. What would you recommend to check? If I boot back to WiIndows, the games run fine.

Which one would you advise as a proper native game to test? After the whole Bioshock Proton version running better than native, I stopped paying attention to truly native ports, and just played whichever Steam would install by default...or just Lutris my way around it.

SuperTuxKart.

Thanks. I didn't have much time until now, but 10 minutes playing SuperTuxKart saw exactly zero audio glitches, and playing The Outer Worlds right after it, started glitching again. It really looks to be Wine/Proton issues, and I was ready to blame the HDMI cables...

If the game is from Steam, I'd hit them up for some official support. I bet they can help.

Thanks, but...I'm not so sure. I mean, I'm using the Proton compatibility layer, it's not like they did anything besides providing Windows support, then Valve adding the rest.

Try anything out of the discover app. Like someone else said super tux cart. You're just looking for an audio signal to figure out if this is a wine thing or a system thing.
