Hi,

I'm trying to use my 7.1 surround system on Arch Linux PC with pipewire. Currently 1 DP connected to the main monitor and 1 HDMI connected to the 7.1 sound system. Sound system has 4 HDMI IN and 1 HDMI OUT to the TV. First issue is without activating second monitor I can't output any sound. Second issue is sound is always 2 channel. There are no other options on pavucontrol app. What i'm trying to achieve is

1. Using only main monitor and outputting sound through HDMI to sound system

~~2. Outputting both video and sound through HDMI, which is working but only on 2 channels.~~

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

silly me, I changed HDMI cable and it detected all possible audio outputs including PCM 7.1

Hi,

All I want is a notebook with amd cpu, no dgpu, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd and most importantly 120-144hz display. Am i out of luck or my search skills are just bad

Is this possible in boost? I couldn't find it on settings

Today usual updating replaced probably all K apps with extra/K. It didn't break anything but it was weird and scary when it's 100s of apps

Hi,

Today suddenly an horizontal line appeared on my laptop display. It's visible on BIOS screen and desktop. HDMI and DP output are fine. How bad it's? EDP cable replacement will fix it or not? It's guarantee is expired 5 days ago :(

I can see launcher and hit play but then nothing happens, It just stays on launcher. I tried --skip-launcher option and other Proton versions but none of them have worked. I'm on amd gpu and Proton-GE sometimes throws and error of "failed to collect displays" message, any idea?

SOLVED:

apparently sway was the problem and fixed it with below startup command

echo env --unset=SDL_VIDEODRIVER mangohud "%command%

Hi,

I want to buy a laptop for working and very light gaming on to go. I'm currently looking for Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 with AMD CPU and NVIDIA GPU. I'm going to use Fedora or Arch Linux with i3wm. The problem is I'm not sure if dual gpu setup is going to work or not. All i want to use igpu for all tasks until more power needed, then it needs to switch automatically to dgpu

Is this possible if so is there any good guide about it?

Thanks

Hi,

My system sometimes crashes suddenly and reboots itself. It's random, browsing web, idling, checking mails, I couldn't find the trigger. This is the only log I could find about the crash

EDIT: my thermals are fine btw, 40C at idle and 70C at max on heavy tasks

I almost give up. I tried many many things but my samsung s23 is killing important apps and I miss notifications. As soon as I unlock my phone, all of them showing up instantly. I'm missing messages and important notifications. I'm constantly checking phone because of it. BTW, it's working sometimes I don't know how and when it decides to kill my apps. I disabled any memory and battery related optimizations and mark my important apps as unrestricted and never sleep but it doesn't work mostly

EDIT: it's definitely duckduckgo app tracker. It somehow kills some apps. Disabled it and all of my issues are gone away

Within 5 minutes of usage my pihole instance blocked 100s of request and DDG app protection blocked facebook trackers. This should be illegal
