Mirror Desktop Mode in 2 Xreal Air glasses with Sidetrak USB-C hub. Info in Reply
Helvum allowed me to use drag & drop to manage system audio paths. I strongly suggest reading how it works before using it, let alone installing it. Helvum is very easy to use but it's not obvious how it works, so actually RTM, watch a video (it doesn't come with help built into the app) https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/helvum.

Easy Effects: Audio effects for PipeWire applications
The example referenced the it's Catia, but qpwgraph https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/rncbc/qpwgraph and helvum https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/helvum should do a good job too. Either way, it's easy to achieve multiple outputs with any of those. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
Best way to share my screen with audio if I'm playing a game to a friend?
You can use helvum to stream the audio of any app to your microphone. There's some issues with this solution though:. Source: almost 1 year ago
Wanted to create a gaming VM (gpu passthrough to VM) on my laptop but I don't have a mux switch
Audio didn't pass through correctly for me, but Helvum fixed that. Source: about 1 year ago
Brit cops rapped over app that recorded 200k phone calls
Just patch inputs and outputs to audacity (or your recording software of choice). For pipewire theres helvum[0] or qpwgraph[1]. For JACK there's Catia[2].

Firefox 116 Should Have Experimental PipeWire Camera Support
If you don't know what PipeWire is (I didn't), it's an audio-video handler - it replaces things like PulseAudio. https://pipewire.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Yousican & Linux
I installed and configured pipewire according to the instructions from the Debian website. And let me tell you, it solved all my problems. The sound quality is good enough for practice, latency is very low. Currently, I just mute my guitar in YS, turn on ToneLib, adjust the volume on the system mixer, and play. Source: over 1 year ago
