So this is strangely specific but on nobara I have a second audio output slider for each application when I look at volume controls. Its not functional at affecting the volume of the app.
Any ideas?

open the terminal and type pavucontrol and see what that looks like. Is it also showing that, or are you just seeing 2 in your DE sounds or something?
Feeling this meme. I recently went through some hard times getting my Ardour/Jack setup working.
(Pro tip: Use Cadence.)

Running mint on an old Mac hah. Know the feel
I haven't experienced any audio issues in many moons... like long enough ago I can't remember... I know they were an issue 20 years ago.... but wouldn't say they were 5 years ago... of course I stopped distro hopping as often... and as I typed this I realized I still have an audio problem heh. Sometimes after a pause my audio comes back at a lower level for a few seconds until it fixes itself.
What about bluetooth audio?
Had to install a single package once to get it to connect more reliably but otherwise no issues.
I still have the problem of audio delayed start.
After a while, of I start anything with audio whether it's an mp3 file, a video file anything on the browser, whatever, there's always like a whole second of delay before the audio starts
This drive me insane when I'm song audio editing.
I found this problem across all Linux distros. And this problem started happening in the last few (maybe 5?) years as far as I've noticed.
If you have a fix for that, that would be great.
So, someone got a good room reader (as in balancing speakers with pulse)? About to do it again.
Nicely done.
On the topic of audio. Does anyone know how to fix microphones in the game Squad? My mic works for discord and also in the steam microphone test, it just doesn't seem to register in game. I really want to play more of these teamwork based games but it is really hard to do so when I can't effectively communicate with the people in my squad.
I am on TuxedoOS with a HyperX Quadcast if that helps with troubleshooting.
Hey that's my Halloween costume this year
I tried for so long to get my motu 828es to play nice on cachyos. Ended up getting a nice focusrite since it is much more compatible, did a bunch of tweaks to get latency right down, and now Reaper just crashes for no reason after about an hour or so of use flips table
I've also not had great luck with MOTU devices (624, 8pre-es). Granted AFAIK, they're still not supported in mainline kernel, but I found a few kernel modules on github. Those kernel modules work in that the audio interfaces are detected and I can play audio, but after a couple mins (sometimes immediately), it sounds like I'm getting buffer under runs even if I max out my buffers. If I disconnect and reconnect the devices it will sometimes work for another few mins. They work perfectly on windows. My preferred DAW is also windows only, but I can run a windows VM and do USB pass through on the either of the audio interfaces (other is connected via AVB), and it works great. So this is how I do audio, but this also means I'm using onboard audio for everything except the windows VM.
