    Linux is notorious for breaking audio after updating / rebooting. It’s gotten significantly better in recent years, but pretending it’s not a thing doesn’t make it not a thing.

      Huh? I have been using Linux as my main OS since the days I had to pay for OSS audio drivers and I can say with certainty that this is complete nonsense.

        I’ve only remember ever having audio dissappear during the really early Ubuntu days (We are talking like version 7 or 8). Now if you told me Linux has issues with audio crackling due to apps requesting absurd audio parameters, then yeah, that was a more recent and persistent issue that only recently seems to have gone away.

        It was, in fact, a thing as recently as 2010. I know because I remember having to delete PulseAudio’s config after every second boot on Ubuntu 10.04 otherwise I wouldn’t have any audio. You were spared from the worst, be thankful for that.

        I wish everyone could live in the perfect bubble you’ve built, but out here in reality it’s pretty well known problem.

      Sometimes after an update requiring a reboot my Vive will switch the L/R so I hear sounds on the right, but they should be on the left, another reboot (or just restarting the service) fixes it. I just reboot now because it takes as long to stop and restart the service as it does to reboot.

      Oh right that was a problem like a couple times a while ago but it fixed it self somehow? Honestly I’m not that familiar with fixing or things In Linux. I just use it and not mess with anything.
