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.

There is a Flatpak! Awesome and lol of course it works way better than on damn Android, where you need weird hacks that dont really work
For android I’ve stuck to the OG Viper4Android since JamesDSP kinda acts funky.
Apple very likely applies specially tweaked DSP. They're very very good at that.
You'd have to replicate that using something like Easy Effects. Play around with the EQ and see what you can do.
It could also be a bad driver in which case you probably can't do anything about that.
By default audio is often configured to run properly on the crappiest sound card and CPU. Since you used easyeffect I assume you use pipeWire. Here some of my config : In pipewire.conf :
default.clock.rate = 96000
default.clock.allowed-rates = [ 44100 48000 96000 192000 ]
In pipewire-pulse.conf
stream.properties = {
resample.quality = 10
}
Unless you happen to be a bat, setting the output sample rate to 96000 will do absolutely nothing to improve audio quality.
As @holland@lemmy.ml said I shouldn't have set default.clock.rate.
I have 96000 and 192000 in allowed-rates beacause some of my flac are at this sample rate and it avoid resampling them and losing quality (or using CPU in this case because at resample.quality 10 it should not be hearable)
Batman intensifies.
If you're using default.clock.allowed-rates you shouldn't set default.clock.rate or it won't switch based on the source frequency.
I learned that PopOs runs best on iMac with least amount of problems, I don't know if that will fix audio but you can always download PopOs on a flash drive and boot to it to try out without installing it on drive.
Thats a good idea, I suppose I could use a live Linux boot to play around with the EQ settings
