better than any other platform out there when it comes to support
Lol, as a user Windows support is garbage. Every step is “restart, reinstall drivers, scannow”.
None of those things are going to make windows pass all LR audio to the FLR channels of a 5.1 system, yet I know it’s possible. It can happen if enough settings are fiddled with, but I don’t know which ones, and it gets reset every reboot.
None of those things are going to stop some system utility maxing out disk writing and freezing the system for 10 minutes every boot.
None of those things will stop hardware acceleration from crashing my browser.
Pulseaudio can remap channels directly, so you can take a 7.1 input and output two entire stereo outputs to a 7.1 speaker system, which would solve my issue and then some. Making a custom profile is a tad more involved than clicking buttons, but CLI isn’t needed at all.
I found a solution in under a minute that should work on most modern Linux DEs. I suppose it’s not by an official Linux support channel, but AskUbuntu was literally the first search result.
Ah, support as in “this program is supported”. I can definitely agree with that
