Hi,

Many discussions about pipewire and wireplumber - mine is specific to permissions and a way to automatically change these on my local machine to 'Normal'

In the System Monitor, three are given priority 'Very High' (see screenshot) while 100% of the rest work fine with 'Normal' on my laptop. Does anyone know of a script (?) to add (and where?) to do this?

I see 'tracker-miner-fs-3' is automatically assigned 'Very Low' at start-up and this was done for all users of Solus so can't help but wonder if I can do something similar for only my laptop.

Thanks,
Mike

    You should keep pipewire priority as the one it defines, as it reduces audio latency and without it you may introduce sound crackling and the like under high load scenarios.

      MichaelFinko If it's not causing any issue then why even bother to change it? Audio processes having higher priority is beneficial to you if your system is under CPU load (prevents audio skipping and other artifacts from the sound servers not being able to keep up under load) and has no negative if your system is not under load.

      If you truly want to do this despite the fact that there is literally no benefit to it then you can run sudo systemctl mask rtkit-daemon which will prevent rtkit from starting on boot. rtkit is what automatically upgrades various audio threads to higher priority and disabling it will prevent that from happening.
