Browser video playback stops when new audio device connected

Using Bazzite-DX-Nvidia with KDE. I have two audio output devices, a soundbar (Teufel Cinebar One) and headphones (beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro) connected via an AMP (Schiit Magni) - both set as analog output and connected via an USB-C Dock. By default both are turned off so no output devices are available: sometimes when I, for example, start watching a video on YouTube I only then turn on my soundbar. As soon as the soundbar is on and detected as an audio output device the video playback stops (showing a loading spinner). I then have to turn on my AMP, select it as the audio output device. With that the video playback start again - I can then reselect the soundbar without any problems. The other way around, turning on the AMP first, the video does not stop....

Building HISE in Distrobox

HISE is a program for making audio programs like VSTs that I've recently tried using, but I'm supposed to build it from source so that I can compile the VSTs that I make https://github.com/christophhart/HISE I've been trying to build it in Distrobox (which tbh I'm not super experienced using yet, as someone who's new to Bazzite and fairly new to Linux in general), but no luck yet. I've got someone in the HISE community who uses Linux trying to help me set it up, but he's never used containers f...

Solution:
https://github.com/ublue-os/akmods/pull/261#issuecomment-3450204361
antheas: It will never merge. As of Fedora 43 Bazzite will not be using akmods, so most akmod extras will be removed To that end, I patched the kernel with this so if you go to bazzite unstable with kernel 6.17 you will have this ๐Ÿ™‚...

Vibe Transcribe AI through WineZGui

Hey all, I made the move from Windows to Linux but a critical program in my workflow was this simple FOSS whisper AI transcriber. https://thewh1teagle.github.io/vibe/. I've tried to run it in bottles, lutris, and winezgui and I either can't get it to launch or it launches in a black lifeless window. Has anyone, can anyone get this to run with the full GUI (not just CLI)? PS I also use Aurora so I'd like it to run there too....

Display Configuration System Settings menu no longer showing arrangement of each monitor

I turned my primary monitor off once and turned it back on, only for the monitor arrangement to suddenly be not as I set it before. I open the Display Configuration menu in KDE to try to fix the arrangement of my displays, but I am unable to because the UI does not show my monitors at all! This has never happened before. How can I fix the System Settings menu to show my displays again?...
Solution:
I fixed it by hard reseting my display configuration settings by deleting ~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.json and relogging

Linux and Graphics API?

hello!! i was hoping if someone could help me with this as i'm very new to linux, only recently installed it to test the waters and so far everything is going smooth! however, one game i enjoy frequently says that I need to change my Graphics API if its really dark, and I've tried searching around but I haven't gotten much from it so this is my last resort. i think its good to mention that i am using a nvidia 3050. also, here's a picture of how it currently looks.....
Solution:
ah! well i found out how to do it. initially i was messing around in plasma renderer, which i thought is similar enough and would work, however... youre right! it was the graphics api that roblox is using, i happened to take another look at the actual settings for the app.. so hopefully if anyone looks back for the same issue (though i doubt it) i hope this'll help em...

Mic stopped working despite being detected.

I've been playing a little with mic settings because i was trying to figure out how to make my cheap JBL headset mic to sound alright without picking what i would listen to. Nothing much besides moving the slider in settings, discord and installing Easy Effects which i would end up uninstalling because i didn't want to fuck something else without knowing. Well, my mic stopped recording randomly and anything i would do won't fix it. Changed the jacks, fiddled with the sliders again, restarting th...

How to install Winboat on non dx Bazzite

I'm trying to install docker on regular Nvidia bazzite not bazzite dx. I have to use regular bazzite because my GPU isn't seen on bazzite dx for some reason (GTX 1080) probably too old lol. Is this even possible to do or should I just throw in the towel? At least until I get a new GPU.

Bazzite gamescope-session-plus

Is it possible to replicate Bazzite's version of gamescope-session-plus (and all the required scripts) on a desktop pc running fedora 42? Is there any repo I can use? I tried https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bazzite-org/bazzite/package/gamescope-session-plus/ but it seems to me it only has the gamescope-session-plus package that basically only adds gamescope-session-plus to my /usr/bin/ folder. I hoped It included all needed files. I have Bazzite on my htpc and would like to have a session starting the "steam gaming mode" on my desktop too....
