My wife wanted to play Phasmophobia and the mic wouldn’t work because the input was defaulting to the headphones but the output was to my speakers. When I switched the output to the headphones, no audio worked, input or output, at all.

iTunes does this shit too where you have to restart the app to get the audio stream to change.

Why so shitty?

      I did. It was still choppy and made music unlistenable. Then I tried a bunch of shit that was supposed to reduce decoding latency so that the signal would stop stopping arbitrarily and that didn't work so now I dual boot.

        I've never had a surround setup but I wonder if Pipewire would help in this case. It's been a sort of miracle solution for me and some specific issues I had with PulseAudio.
