screenshot of Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity" music video with subtitled lyric "and now there is no sound". an image of Tux, the linux penguin mascot, on a transparency-indicating checkered background is overlaid on top of the screenshot. there is a red circle around Tux and a red oval around the subtitle and a red line connecting the two.

i'm so confused whenever i see this, i've been using linux since 2012 and sound has always just worked? I can't think of a single time I've had an audio problem that wasn't damaged hardware

    It depends. The old ALSA system was flaky from what I remember. Pipewire seems more stable, but can have issues with multiple devices but that might be more a bluetooth problem.

    I've also had constant audio problems in windows, including every update shuffling all my audio devices and making a random one default and switching to the wrong device when connecting a new one.
