      I have been using Arch daily for 13+ years and I still don’t have a proper grasp on audio and Bluetooth…

      Used raw ALSA, JACK, PulseAudio, and now Pipewire. I had major issues with all of them except ALSA.

      I managed to disable devices like my webcam mic and PS5 mic, and even added a noise reduction filter to my real mic that shows up as it’s own device, but…

      Only because the Arch wiki told me specifically how to do those things. Audio just luckily seems to work fine for the most part, currently. I used qpwgraph to play with wireplumber and it’s obviously very powerful, but I have no idea how it works :D

      Bluetooth is a different story, it seems to work differently on every single device I’ve worked on…
