Comment on What Would You Like To See Improved in GNU/Linux?

Improve pipewire/pulseaudio to be more user friendly - to play different sound on both my tv and computer I have to use pipewire, set the audio device to pro mode, and then scroll through the 10 new devices listed to guess which 2 I need, with their incredibly unhelpful names.
And then, if I want loudness equalization because I have problems hearing voices, I have to run easy effects after looking up a guide for installing someone’s preset that does an ok job compared to the windows version.
Not to mention I have no idea why Linux aggressively turns off my audio driver whenever something isn’t playing, even though it takes almost 5 seconds after audio starts to turn back on, and I get to constantly listen to the crackle of my speakers turning on every time an app checks if I even have audio.
Oh, and for an unrelated gripe, for some reason Linux refuses to let my bt adaptor connect to my switch controller, even though the same adaptor worked fine on windows.

You might be having the problem specifically because the controller was paired with windows on the same machine. See the “dual boot pairing” section. wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth

Yeah, I have seen that, but that windows partition is long gone, and I have done my best to reset the controller.
Plus switch controllers can only remember 1 device at a time the the moment I connected it to my switch that should have resolved?
