• 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 / 11 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: 12 months 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].

• Windows 11 usage rate dropped drastically as a result of the March Steam Hardware Survey.

  Streaming has been a lot of fun over on Linux. OBS works as you'd expect. VAAPI, the default encoder for AMD GPUs on Linux, works fine for me, though I'd love to experiment with AMD Media Framework one day. Easyeffects helps me get my sound quality to where I want it to be, while Helvum allows me to set up my inputs and outputs exactly the way I want them. Helvum's GUI isn't perfect but it's easy to use. I'm a bit... Source: about 1 year ago

• In Pipewire, how do you route multiple streams to various audio outputs?

  Might want to check out Helvum for a GUI patchbay. Source: over 1 year ago

• Guitarix working without Jack connections

  Since I've switched to Pipewire, I've noticed I don't need as many options and have since moved to helvum. Source: over 1 year ago

• A quick rant of music software on linux and it being absolutely proprietary.

  I might also suggest the patchbay-like application Helvum. It gives you some of the patching functionality that you get out of Jack2. But it's strictly not necessary, as PipeWire is designed to just work - even if there's multiple audio interfaces (in theory). Source: over 1 year ago

• An Introduction to PipeWire

  Link: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/helvum It's a visual patch bay for Pipewire. I had no idea and I had to look it up. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Is there a GUI way to simultaneously send audio to 2 outputs at the same time?

  Helvum is in Fedora's package repository. It's not particularly pretty, but it gets the job done. Source: over 1 year ago

• I hate it

  What did you try? I know there are a number of great apps for controlling pipewire-jack like helvum, and other jack-specific patchbays should also work. I sadly don't have a use case for complex interfaces, but I do try to stay informed. Source: almost 2 years ago
