Bug#1112393: audacious: PulseAudio instead of Pipewire on Pipewire systems (aka Debian 13)
Package: audacious
Version: 4.4.2-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: embar@mail.bg
Dear Maintainer,
I started to use Audacious on Debian 13 system, LXQt and Pipewire sound layer(by default). Audio device is "Creative [HDA Creative], device 0: CA0132 Analog [CA0132 Analog]".
I've observed very bad "crackling" on low frequences. Initially tried to configure my card with "alsamixer" command, changing "Crystalizer", "Surround" and integrated equalizer presets. Notting help.. Finally on Audacity's Audio settings found... PulseAudio Output!!! (set by default)... Switched to PipeWire Output and the sound became crystal and shiny!
Please develop or fix some kind of implementation on Player's initial or runtime initialization check and determination of the exact sound subsystem and this way prevent crappy sound.
Thanks you a lot!
Kind regards,
Emil
