What are the main differences between pipewire and pulseaudio? Which one is better? What are other alternative popular sound servers besides these two?

    Pipewire came installed by default on my OpenSUSE TW install and I never get audio in games. I have to constantly switch audio devices until it finally decides to work. I swapped it out for pulseaudio and I’ve never had an issue since.

      Strange, I had to manually restart Pulseaudio for months before I finally decided to switch to Pipewire, I guess Linux audio just still sucks!
