From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bookshelf speakers sound worse on linux (programming.dev)

I have a budget PC and edifier r1280t bookshelf speakers. From day 1 of building my PC about 6 months ago, I was using fedora. I also have a MacBook pro and soon I realised that the speakers sound much better when connected to MacBook pro. I always thought maybe my motherboard dac is not good enough to drive these speakers. But few days ago I installed windows 11 on separate disk as I have some work with windows and I immediately observed that the speakers also sound very good with my PC on windows. What can I do to improve sound quality on fedora? I connect the speakers directly to motherboard I/O at the back which reads "line out" in fedora

OS: fedora 38 CPU: 4600g GPU: rx 580 16GB RAM Motherboard: ASRock b450m

What do you mean by "better"? Sound is very subjective, can you try to be more specific?

I definitely recommend a blind test, the power of expectations can be overwhelming when judging audio

Yup. People often start fussing over bit depths and sample rates, but more often than not it's something as simple as a difference in volume.
