[SOLVED] Arch audio my on XPS is always not saving when I reboot: Audio sounds horrible.

[pulsar grail]

I am having an issue with audio always not persisting—I have tried making it a daemon but it doesn't persist for whatever reason.

I tried asking Claude / ChatGPT for help but they weren't doing well...

I have set up OBS virtual cable for this
or maybe I am just not doing something correctly idk

[atomic geode]

pacman -Qs pipe
pacman -Qs pulse
pacman -Qs linux-firmware-

oops

i'll try to do it
but rn i am updating my system with
sudo pacman -Syu

[pulsar grail]

keep in mind
i also have easyeffects for this
i assume it applies too, right?

i want to apply my easyeffects audio post-process to my mic when i use applications like discord

[atomic geode]

no

easyeffects is not an audio server like pipewire

[pulsar grail]

ah okay
i am not audio guy lol

it sounds better on easyeffects than regular stereo output

this was my audio yesterday when i fixed it
-# (now it's trash sounding)

i want the config on ezfx to persist (daemon)

[pulsar grail]

@atomic geode ill run it first
though if it still doesn't work i have to ping you again

[atomic geode]

no i want the output of those commands

[pulsar grail]

[atomic geode]

[pulsar grail]

[atomic geode]

easyeffects is to improve input/output. I use it to get same audio as windows. see #1379711933921624174

[atomic geode]

you can use qpwgraph for the wiring, idk what config you want tho

[pulsar grail]
