Hi All,
I tested the new PipeWire on Debian Sid PPC64 today. It works with Nemo's onboard SB600 Azalia (Intel HDA) without any problems.
It is a new low-level multimedia framework. It aims to offer capture and playback for both audio and video with minimal latency and support for PulseAudio, JACK, ALSA and GStreamer-based applications.
It replaces PulseAudio in many distributions.
Unfortunately, there seems to be an endian issue in the Bluetooth module from PipeWire. It can connect to other devices such as speakers, but you can only hear strange noise.
I replaced PipeWire with Pulseaudio with the following commands:
Code: Select all
apt install pulseaudio
Code: Select all
apt remove pipewire
Code: Select all
apt install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
You can check if you use PipeWire or PulseAudio with the command pactl info.
Output if you use PulseAudio:
Code: Select all
