  This project seems to be progressing the audio, activity from last month.

• Asahi Linux to Users: Please Stop Using X.org

  I am aware of that, that's why I mentioned it could be an ALSA plugin.

  From https://github.com/chadmed/asahi-audio

  > ASoC exposes the speaker array as six independent drivers - two woofers and a tweeter each for Left and Right. We want userspace to see this as a standard stereo speaker pair. The configuration fragment shipped in this package sets up a virtual sink that takes a stereo input and routes it appropriately to each driver.

  > We then run into another issue - the speakers sound awful. Turns out Macs aren't magic, they sound good because Apple invest a lot of engineering effort into DSP. Apple actually handle this with odd bespoke Core Audio plugins. We use PipeWire's convolver plugin to apply impulse responses to each driver, which effectively EQs the output signals.

  > The kernel driver currently makes no effort to diminish your ability to destroy your machine through misconfigured settings in userspace

  This is what I find quite unacceptable from a design PoV, this kind of safety should be as close to the kernel as possible.

• What needs to be added for the M1 pro speaker implementation to be merged into asahi-edge?

  Is this then the repo that needs to be finished up https://github.com/chadmed/asahi-audio ? If that is the case, do you (or anyone else in the thread) know what is left for the quality to meet the standard of Asahi?

• Asahi Audio - Devicetree guidance
  2 projects | /r/AsahiLinux | 10 Feb 2023

  Trying to follow the guide here - https://github.com/chadmed/asahi-audio and everything seemed painless until I got to the devicetree part, and it has stumped me. Being a regular Arch user for more than 4 years and this is either 1) So easy everyone can do it and I just am not understanding 2) More difficult than anyone is willing to provide guidance on.
