I have no idea why Pulse is so bad. During my last foray into Linux, I created a shortcut for killing and restarting Pulse and pinned it to the dock. I also replaced all my game shortcuts with scripts that reinitialized pulse, then ran the game, then reinitialized pulse again when the game was closed.
I hate to be this guy, but after being mad that Pop OS now defaults to pipewire, it's pretty fucking nice. It's stable and a little annoying to configure, but it works so much better than pulse. Perhaps consider switching?
My current distro also uses pipewire and I've had no issues. I haven't even needed to configure anything. I originally went to Linux when my XP install died and I couldn't afford a Win7 license. I was happy enough with Win10 to migrate to that when it came out, and now that Microsoft is forcing people onto Win11 I'm back to Linux as my primary. Pipewire and Proton really took Linux from 'good enough' to 'actually quite nice'.
Ah, yes, the notorious
unfuck-audio.shscript. It's like a rite of passage for linux users.
