Great video! It gaves a huge improvement to my old 2010 Beosound 8 sound system (this guy has its own embedded usb soundcard). It's working flawless on Fedora 40. Thanks!
Lovely concept for video content. I wanted to do such types of video but have no time to do it so I only do basedon gaming on linux topic. I hope to post more content snd get more subscribers
Easy to follow and I see the Virtual Surround Sink option, but if I enable that, I get no sound. Now, my headphones are USB so I don't know if that has anything to do with it? Otherwise, I have to keep the Speakers (USB Audio Device Analog Stereo) option selected or else no sound. It appears to be working somewhat, but I think this is how it's always worked. Mine are some generic USB Surround Sound headphones that sound fine, but I would have liked to see if this enhanced it even more. My system shows it's PulseAudio on Pipewire, so I'm definitely runnigg Pipewire and PulseAudio legacy through Pipewire. Not sure if that could be part of the issue? Any help would be appreciated, and love the videos. Keep them coming!
Hi, thank you for the video! But I have a question, when I enable the module I can hear the sound from the speakers, not from the headphones. How can I change that?
Unsure but here is one reddit thread i found about someone asking the same question www.reddit.com/r/pipewire/comments/ul9mmh/configure_pipewirepulse_to_output_dolbydts_not/?
Maybe someone knows... Is there a good program for Flashplayer files under Linux? I've found some old browser games that I'd like to play. Maybe also a video-idea? ^^
i was reading on this week in gnome that mentioned a rust flash player emulator, maybe give that a go flathub.org/apps/rs.ruffle.Ruffle there is also the adobe flash player flathub.org/apps/com.adobe.Flash-Player-Projector
Check out Ruffle (Flash player emulator that is written in Rust and it avoids all security issues that Flash had) - hope this helps you and you can enjoy the old browser games again!
Hi @linuxnext, your videos are banger as always. I have followed the guide on this video and it worked well for me. The reason i made this comment is in preparation for a future addition of a subwoofer for my linux PC. Is there any step or configuration I have to do in order to make it work along with my soundbar in Plasma using pipewire . Thank you
Thank you for the reply, but can i request you one more thing. Can you do research on whether or not dolby is supported on linux ? I am planning to buy a soundbar for my pc to play surround sound with the help of this guide
So... Do i need this setup to play games or i can still tell just not as accurated as with this surround sound. Im asking cause im curious due never using it even on windows and right now games im playing are like "calculate it" xd so i cant tell right now if its gonna be important for me. Ik stupid question but lately i have no mind for this stuff.
@@clappbacktv its not that better ngl, you can try it and see for yourself if you think it benefits you If you have headphones not iems then virtual surround sound could sound better for you
Hey, I followed the exact steps shown in your video. I restarted my laptop and it's still the same, so surround sound sink option in sound settings. Is there something I'm missing? (Running zorin OS btw)
the same as the sound is the same as stereo? make sure the config is exactly correct, idk if zorin uses pipewire or pulse either and thats why im using a newer distro in that video
@@linuxnext yes, the sound is the same as on stereo, also the virtual surround sink option doesn't show up. I've added the config code under context.modules just like in the video, and changed the wav file directory to my atmos.wav I think zorin uses pulse, cause I installed pipewire-pulse, but now it gave me the surround sink option, but the system's sound is dead lol, had to reinstall Linux 😂
@@valomehagna pipewire pulse is for translating pulse to pipewire, that package is required for lots of legacy audio like wine, i cant help if zorin is using pulse as its not pipewire
@@linuxnext just ran pactl info, servername: pulseaudio Pipewire is not mentioned at all, ig it runs of pulse. So this method won't work on my distro is it?
@@valomehagna yes that is correct, you will need to find a method for pulse audio which their probably is or you need to wait for zorin os to rebase to the next Ubuntu version which won't be happening till 3 years later There is a way of removing pulse audio tho and replacing it with pipewire and it's quite easy www.baeldung.com/linux/pulseaudio-pipewire-replace You need pipewire, wire plumber for it to control the audio, that pipewire pulse package for compatibility with legacy pulse audio, pulse utils and pipewire utils Then you need to enable the system service for it to run in the background and remove pulse from service and remove the pulse packages which are all written in that blog post

very unsure as i cant replicate the issue with my hardware that i have
Note that using the virtual surround for anything other than surround content might make it sound kinda dull. I definitely notice it with music.
Yeah when i played the finals in stereo it sounded bright
can you create several copied .conf files with different .wav profiles?
probably, unsure if it will detect each one in audio settings tho on your desktop environment
Hi, thank you for the video! But I have a question, when I enable the module I can hear the sound from the speakers, not from the headphones. How can I change that?
have you tried disabling the speakers in your sound settings or with pavucontrol to see if that helps?
Hmm I tried it but it just sounds like mono
Edit: Nevermind, I just forgot to compile pipewire with the ffmpeg USE flag enabled
Yay! Does it has dts audio processing for Asus Sonic master?

its whatever, i used it and i could tell a bit better where people were, not a huge advantage ngl

There is a way of removing pulse audio tho and replacing it with pipewire and it's quite easy
www.baeldung.com/linux/pulseaudio-pipewire-replace
You need pipewire, wire plumber for it to control the audio, that pipewire pulse package for compatibility with legacy pulse audio, pulse utils and pipewire utils
Then you need to enable the system service for it to run in the background and remove pulse from service and remove the pulse packages which are all written in that blog post
