  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I do use Linux, and I'm usually glad about it, but I wasted an hour last night trying to figure out how to change my microphone port to a subwoofer port, and never did solve the problem. Linux is awesome, but sometimes basic stuff is ridiculously difficult or impossible.

    Does the physical port actually have that capability? My motherboard has a lot of audio ports but inputs cannot be outputs and vice versa

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

    Probably not. Unless it's bi directional combined port. But remapping audio ports like that seems like an extremely niche case I find support for it very rare in any case.

    Yes, and it's trivial to retask with the AC97 HD Audio program in Windows, but I couldn't find an equivalent program for Linux.

    If you're using pipewire, try XDAJackRetask, I use it for that purpose.

    Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
