I work remote and I’m constantly on a Teams meeting while working. My colleagues have been complaining for a while that they can hear my youtube video, if I have it a bit loud. I always figured my microphone was picking it up and never paid much attention to it. Reducing the video volume or the microphone volume would fix it.
Today I accidentally unplugged my headset and they could still hear the video. Nothing is plugged into the computer, yet they can listen to my video. Something is causing a loopback or something, I can’t figure out what.
My system:
- EndeavourOS
- Pipewire 1.2.7
- The folders
/etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/and~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/are empty, so I assume no filters are being used
I attached the output of qpwgraph. I’m not really an audio expert but it looks normal?
Let me know how I can fix this! Thanks!
@pathief I’m not an expert, but maybe try muting the “Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo”. That would be an audio input, but from the image I can’t tell how it would be used by Chromium. Maybe it is being mixed in together somehow.
This software doesn’t allow you to mute the monitors, only to establish “connections” and nothing is connected to it. I’m not sure how I would mute those…
@pathief I still use pavucontrol with pipewire, but apparently there’s a pwvucontrol software out there now too.
I tried it but it doesn’t seem to be any different from
pavucontrol.
