| sjfloat | So, maybe we need a page in the Wiki. I'd like to maintain a matrix of the various audio apps and systems in NixOS and their health. | 18:19:28 |

| sjfloat | Having made the switch to pipewire, I find it just killed my chrome performance (I'm on an older machine). Anyone else experience this? | 18:27:55 |
| sjfloat | It did seem to help with some things though. | 18:28:17 |
| CRTified (old handle) | So far only minor problems with pipewire. Did you enable the real-time stuff? | 18:40:40 |
| sjfloat | No. This is a general purpose box. | 18:41:14 |
| sjfloat | I have a dedicated audio laptop; I'll probably to rt there. | 18:41:37 |

| sjfloat | I need to dive in and learn wireplumber. The heuristic choices that are being made are often not what I want. | 18:47:15 |
| sjfloat | I'd really rather things were more deterministic. | 18:47:29 |
| CRTified (old handle) | That's a thing that annoys me, too. I do have some rnnoise module enabled, but sometimes it does pick the wrong source | 18:48:12 |
| sjfloat | Maybe one of us will throw together a tutorial once they had some success with that. | 18:49:27 |
| sjfloat | So, Carla -- for some reason, it only finds my LADSPA plugins, regardless of how I set up the paths to scan. Anyone have any luck with that? | 18:50:16 |
| sjfloat | I also wonder if it's possible to configure static patching for some things. I wonder if that would ease my performance problems with chrome. | 18:51:26 |
| CRTified (old handle) | Depending on your config, it's possible that the defaults are not applied anymore. Most of the defaults are given as a list and won't merge properly (within the nixos module) | 18:52:52 |
| CRTified (old handle) | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/nixos/modules/services/desktops/pipewire/pipewire.nix#L35-L41 for reference | 18:53:14 |
| sjfloat | Sorry I brought up two topics at once. | 18:54:15 |
| sjfloat | RE plugin paths for Carla, I'm not relying on defaults. I'm specifying where the plugin directories are in my profile. But it doesn't detect them for some reason when it scans. | 18:55:04 |
| sjfloat | Was that what you were referencing? | 18:55:31 |
| CRTified (old handle) | Ohhh, I think at that point I'm the wrong one to ask. Sorry for the confusion 😓 I somehow thought that you were referring to the spa-libs settings for pipewire | 18:57:23 |
| sjfloat | My bad. I was impatient :) | 18:57:52 |
