Are there any GUI tools for configuring a sound card in Pipewire?
I have my workflow setup as follows:
For playing games or video with 5.1 surround sound through HDMI, I use PulseAudio. To set the sound card to HDMI and sound profile to 5.1, I do that in GNOME's System Settings. I get sound coming into my home theater receiver from AMD Radeon 5600 XT.
For Zoom meetings (I'm taking Cisco's CCNA course), I first stopped PulseAudio (pulseAudio.service is disabled and masked as a user). In Cadence, I started the JACK sound server which communicates with my Presonus 26c audio interface, started PulseAudio from Cadence (with PulseAudio-Jack bridge), open Calf Jack Host with my saved sound configuration, wire everything up in Carla, and then start Zoom. Before my class starts, I tested my microphone and speakers to make sure everything is working perfectly. As far as I know, Zoom requires PulseAudio and does not work through JACK.
When I want to play games, I stopped JACK and restarted PulseAudio.
So how does Pipewire work for me? Are there any GUI tools that will help me configure my audio interfaces or sound cards?
When I did a search for GUI tools related to Pipewire...
Code: Select all
[grayson@grayson-epcotcenter ~]$ pacman -Ss pipewire GUI
[grayson@grayson-epcotcenter ~]$ pacaur -Ss pipewire GUI

I get the impression that there are no GUI tools for Pipewire. Am I wrong on that?
Until I complete the National Industries for the Blind's Cisco Academy program, I'm sticking with my current setup for now.
However, I'm willing to try something new only in a virtual machine until I transition my entire workflow to Pipewire, so any pointers on how I can get Pipewire setup would be great. Of course, there is only one sound card in a KVM, so it's unlikely I can test my scenario regarding choosing between different sound cards... Maybe I should get my laptop out as my testing PC...
