    Do you have TV’s or HDMI audio through passthrough? I’m utterly convinced 98% of the Linux community has no clue. I regularly run into these issues across distros and I’ve basically become convinced that nearly everyone is running just standard monitors and wired in controllers.

    It has to be a sampling problem.

      Yes I do on my laptop (have not tried on my desktop which is connected to a standard monitor) + using an Xbox and an 8bitdo controller through Bluetooth.

      Never had issues with hdmi audio passthrough, (but did use to have weird resolution issues, circa Ubuntu 10.04, on a particular TV that I never could solve).

      I am not trying to negate your experience, or trying to assess sample size btw. I am just genuinely just as baffled as you seem to be, from the other end, and would like to know of potential issues I am not even aware of.

        Ohh sorry, didn’t mean to come off like that, I was legitimately curious and went off into my rant about the community as a whole.

          No problem, I wasn’t sure how I came off either, knowing how some of the community can sometimes respond to posts criticising Linux/ranting about real issues, I just thought I’d make sure and clarify my intent.

          FWIW, I also hate the flatpak/snap trend btw…
