Oh no... Anyway, anyone got a fix for dual audio on Linux Mint.
I wanna output to 2 devices (one is HDMI TV and the other is Bluetooth) at once and pipewire isn't accommodating me. I'm hesitant to go screwing around with pulseaudio cause I tried that on a previous build and things went badly.
I managed to get an all devices audio output inserted into the pipewire.conf but the only sound that comes out is from the TV and not the bluetooth speaker.
I don't really expect an answer here but if you could point me to the forum or instance that might have answers would be appreciated.
I used this page to do the code insert.
~~https://thecodeninja.net/2024/06/pipewire-combined-sink/~~ nevermind, the site seems to have 404'd itself in the last minute or so.
If outputting separate programs to separate outputs: install Pavucontrol (yes, for Pipewire); change outputs per-program in the first tab.
If trying to output the same stream(s) to both: install Helvum; drag lines around to connect to additional outputs.
So, I'm finally able to tackle this. Do i need pavucontrol? I'm trying to avoid installing any pulseaudio components.
