With some distributions just now starting to include it, some by default, others as an option, I thought it was time to see how it would work on my EliteBook running openSUSE Tumbleweed. The promised solution for Linux has been PipeWire which combines the benefits of both. In general, PulseAudio was the “consumer grade” solution with Jack Audio for the pros and require pro-level knowledge. Jack Audio has been the audio system for professional users with the benefit of lower latency and more granular control. The downside has been the latency (which I happen to think has been an inflated claim) and the lack of granularity control on sound sources.
The high point for PulseAudio has been the intuitive, input / output switching. Personally, I have been very happy with Linux Audio since about 2009 or 2010 or so and enjoyed its continual improvements as the project has matured. Linux audio has been considered a sore-spot with some audiophiles.
