I just got Bazzite installed and working, but I have one minor issue: in Gamemode, the audio input (i.e. microphone) is set to an empty default device. The correct device exists in the dropdown and can be set, but after a reboot, my audio input defaults to an empty selection again.

I have a similar issue but with Audio out, Bazzite does not remember the last selected device after a reboot, it always defaults back to internal audio, even if you have an external display connected, or bluetooth headphones. Desktop mode will remember previous selection, for display and audio, but…

I can confirm this as well. Just docked my LEGO to my TV and had to enable the external output in desktop mode.

I managed to fix both these issues. I never had this issue on my Steam Deck, but it’s the way that Bazzite/wireplumber prioritizes audio sources. This is working for me, but of course, YMMV. Basically, the issue is a matter of priority conflict with wireplumber. To fix the microphone issue, I simpl…

@calamityjoe87 If you want to PR this for credit, both of these configs can be placed in system_files/deck/shared/usr/share/wireplumber/hardware-profiles/lenovo-83e1/wireplumber.conf.d/ and will then auto-apply on LGO hardware. [image] GitHub - ublue-os/bazzite: Bazzite is a custom im…

I can do that. I’ll send over the PR as soon I get home from work.

Done! fix(LGO): fix audio input and output priorities for Legion Go by thecalamityjoe87 · Pull Request #1436 · ublue-os/bazzite (github.com) Thanks for all the hard work!

I saw the changes got merged globally. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work at the system level. The conf files are ignored. If I delete the local conf files, the fix doesn’t work anymore. I opened a bug report on Github. I even tried moving the conf files to /etc/wireplumber, but that didn’t work either…

This is working on the deck so I’ll see what’s up

Just an FYI, the Steam Deck also suffers from this issue with the stock OS, so it is most likely a Steam issue that has carried over to Bazzite.
