Head's up - changes coming to Audio soon

Hi all,
Just to let you know that the Clear Linux team is in the process of migrating from Pulse audio to Pipewire, which I’m sure will make at least @Aqua1ung very happy . Expect to see the switch over happen in the next few days.

Rgds,
Chris

Excellent news, thank you!

Will I have to undo the manual switch I did using this script?:

systemctl --user disable pulseaudio
systemctl --user enable pipewire{-pulse,}
systemctl --user enable wireplumber

How will the new Audio policy deal with this? Will it mess up my audio setup? :thinking:

The pulseaudio unit will go away, the pipewire and wireplumber units will get the default global enable treatment so your enable/disable settings won’t be impacted.
