[Software] Will Pipewire be the default audio server soon ?

[NarriT4010]

Hi, I can't seem to remove noise suppression when I try to output the audio of my PC. The quality is really bad, have tried pavucontrol, pulseeffects. When I make a test on the mictest website
in the details noise suppression is on, which I don't want when streaming music. Is this something a better pc can fix or could it be that the noise suppression is on ? Should I try to replace Pulse Audio with Pipe Wire or should I wait and buy a sound card for mixing and a better pc ?

It will in Gnome with Bookworm. It is available in Debian 10 onwards.

I think that's the Output I'd like songs to sound better from :

I was able to change the output to mono by adding these lines in: /etc/pulse/default.pa.d
load-module module-remap-source source_name=record_mono master=auto_null.monitor master_channel_map=front-left channel_map=mono
set-default-source record_mono

Is it possible to turn these off ?
Automatic Gain Control: yes
Echo Cancellation: yes
Noise Suppression: yes

[NarriT4010]

I can't create this file like this in that directory:

Code: Select all

sudo touch /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio

sudo touch /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio
touch: cannot touch '/etc/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio': No such file or directory

/etc/pipewire/media-session.d , that's the file I can put there, what does /with-pulseaudio mean ?

A notable change compared to Debian 11 is that the configuration directory has been moved from /etc/pipewire/ to /usr/share/pipewire/

That's where the file should be now ? But /with-pulseaudio still errors ...

Okay, so I have a audio source in easyeffects now from the obs pipewire audio capture where I could select my spicific sound card. Can I stream that somehow ?

[NarriT4010]

Yea It really sounds like these are enabled somehow
Automatic Gain Control: yes
Echo Cancellation: yes
Noise Suppression: yes

Does anybody know where to disable them. I have only seen solutions of adding a module to add such a thing but I actually need those features to not mess with the audio. Anybody have an idea ?

[NarriT4010]

I have a new microphone by using easyeffects with a higher score and it seems to sound better but I think noise suppression and that is messing with it. Does the browser add those or is that my system I really have no how to remove those modules. Pls somebody help.

The ALC887 is a 7.1 Channel High Definition Audi
o Codec with two independent SPDIF outputs.
Featuring eight channels of DAC support 7.1 sound pla
yback, and integrates two stereo ADC that can
support a stereo microphone, and feature Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Beam Forming (BF), and
Noise Suppression (NS) for voice applications.

Okay got it to work !
Automatic Gain Control: no
Number of Audio Channels: 2
Echo Cancellation: no
Estimated Latency: ???
Noise Suppression: no
