Why not switch to Pipewire?
Problem
Pulseaudio has very noticeably latency issues
Proposal
Switch to Pipewire, which doesn't have latency issues
Prior Art (Optional)
No response
I apologize if this wasn't the correct place to ask this question.
That's indeed being considered for next version :slightly_smiling_face:
Note there is also an open discussion at https://github.com/elementary/os/discussions/552
I support decision of switching to pipewire because few devices I own have issues when plugging and unplugging 3.5 mini-jack on Pulseaudio. Automatic source switching doesn't work well or works with bad delays on Pulseaudio. Pipewire works well out of the box on other distros I used.
Tried the pipewire on 7.x, everything looks good, should be a default.
