In case anyone is using Debian Testing/Unstable and experiencing audio issues, I thought I’d share this.
Until the bugs get fixed, there are two workarounds:
- Uninstall FluidSynth
- Add
systemctl --user restart pipewireto your session startup; this eliminates the problem.
As I want FluidSynth, I went with the latter.
Tried that already.
Based on the report, this seems to be an actual bug - it was working fine for everyone before the update and only happens in the presence of FluidSynth.
Ubuntu probably hasn’t had this version of PipeWire yet.
My work around is working just fine for now, though.
