It’s pretty ironic to have problems with audio not recognizing headphones… on WINDOWS.

Multi-trillion (10^12) dollar company, btw.

(Both laptops are reasonably new.)

      Agreed, it was the next step from pulseaudio. To say it wasnt problematic is incorrect, as it had many problems and needed a lot of manual intervention.

      Nowadays, pipewire appears alot more stable, even with the compatibility layers for when stuff uses pulseaudio.

      I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system since 2010 and can’t recall having any audio issues. My desktop has 5 sound cards and they all work fine. I don’t use bluethooth for audio, so I guess that makes things easier.
