From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For context, LDAC is one of the few wireless audio codecs stamped Hi-Res by the Japan Audio Society and its encoder is open source since Android 8, so you can see just how long Windows is sleeping on this. I'm excited about the incoming next gen called LC3plus, my next pair is definitely gonna have that.

You can find out if you have pipewire or pulseaudio by using pactl info | grep "Server Name"

Pulseaudio used to be the standard audio server.Only recently pipewire has been taking its place.

I believe @twei meant, if you open a terminal and put in the following command:
pactl info | grep “Server Name” the output should tell you what sound server you are using.

Or an even better and less nerdy was is just using. System taskmaster and seeing pipewire

Not better. There is no way to know if you have "System Taskmaster" installed, as I have never heard of software named that, and their process is system agnostic.

I mean task manger, but on my distro it's just system
