Why do they even include settings by default which introduce crackling and hissing noises?
I found that even starting with resample.quality = 7
I couldn’t hear any difference, younger people (like teenagers) might be able to distinguish 8-9. Maybe use 8 as a default value?
Did you open a ticket with the Pipewire team?
Thanks for the tip! This is something I overlooked when installing Pipewire.
Thanks for posting! I didn’t even know a setting like this existed until now. Everything sounds a lot better now.
My only problem with Pipewire is that it is not compatible with paprefs.
What do you need to do with paprefs? I found that other Pulseaudio related software works pretty well if you have pipewire-pulse installed, e.g. PulseMeeter.

I just add a simultaneous output. I didn’t find a way to add this option to pipewire. Right now I already removed pipewire, and I’m fine, I don’t feel any difference, so I stay without pipewire.
If you know any easy way would be great to know to test it next time. I’m not sure if I tested with pipewire-pulse, but I will check it next time too. Thanks.
Ok I tested it and seems it still doesn’t work.
Use PulseMeeter, you can do a simultaneous output with it. It’s basically the Linux version of the VoiceMeeter Banana program for Windows.
FWIW, I get the same error, in text form for discoverability via search engine:
(paprefs:68653): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 07:28:23.188: Settings schema 'org.freedesktop.pulseaudio.module-group' is not installed [1] 68653 trace trap (core dumped) paprefs
Awesome, thanks!
Only problem is that they have an issue and I need to wait for the fix to be merged on master. https://github.com/theRealCarneiro/pulsemeeter/issues/65
On a live Garuda distro with pipewire seems to work. But they said it should work better with pulseaudio, and they are doing improvements for pipewire, so I will wait to test it with pulseaudio first after they fix it.

However, it works perfectly fine for me on Arch Linux with Pipewire-Pulse. Garuda Linux is pretty similar, so I’d recommend just using Pipewire.
Pipewire-Pulse actually translates API calls to Pulseaudio for Pipewire.
Yeah, I know, I just use Garuda because I know they use pipewire by default. I just think it’s weird they saying it is more compatible with pulseaudio but isn’t working, there is an issue, while on pipewire I could make it work (on a live garuda).
I’ll need to try it out but I don’t have any issue with pipewire
