Not so much self-hosting related (though I do run a Jellyfin server on this PC), but within the past week, I was sure I was gonna have to reinstall my os (and probably take the opportunity to jump distros) because audio just would not work. Everything seemed to think it was fine. Even OBS was picking up the audio, but there was no output. Persisted through reboots and everything.
I have no idea what happened to cause it or fix it.
Steam has a decade of different design choices stacked on top of each other. It’s weird AF that they just don’t update some of their old styles, but what’re gonna do?
