    The last two upgrades have broken my audio setup.

    First the options for Network Server and Network Access in paprefs were greyed out and my sinks disappeared after upgrading to bookworm. I just had to create a link to an existing file and it was working again but, it's weird that it was needed in the first place. Pretty sure it has something to do with the change from pulseaudio to pipewire but I'm not very up to date on that subject and I just want to have my current setup to continue working.

    Then yesterday I just launch a simple apt-get upgrade and after rebooting my sinks disappeared again. The network options in paprefs were still available, but changing them did nothing. I had to create the file ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/10-gsettings.conf and stuff it with "pulse.cmd = [ { cmd = "load-module" args = "module-gsettings" flags = [ "nofail" ] } ]" in order to have my sinks back.

    I know it's not only a Debian thing, as I can see this happening to people on Arch forums, but as Debian is supposed to be the "stable" one, I find it amusing that a simple upgrade can break your sound.

    Does this give network latency on top of Bluetooth latency or does the network somehow "handshake" it with the Bluetooth on the devices you're listening to?

    [โ€“] pedz@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

    I never noticed any latency when I'm not using bluetooth. And no, the devices do not speak to each other. For PA/pipewire, this is just an audio sink as any other.

    There is latency when using bluetooth but this is pretty standard. It just doesn't increase (or not noticeably) when streamed to another computer.
