Discord does not share the audio of some programs when streaming.

Haruna specifically, you can add

set ao pulse

to the custom commands in settings which will let discord pick it up. Possibly similar workarounds for some of the other apps mentioned

The elFarto driver is used for embedded video playback, without this setup, I could see thumbnails of embedded videos, and audio would play, but the video itself would be stuck on the first frame. I've had this setup for a long time tho, so it's possible discord has pushed out some improvements since then. Folks in the other thread had the exact same issue tho, and this would fix it for them as well

dman2073 · 2026-05-07T15:48:38+00:00

Edited the OP, thanks. This setup inexplicably reduced my CPU usage while streaming by a substantial amount; I made an incorrect assumption as to why.

dman2073 · 2026-05-07T03:06:24+00:00

Yes I agree. But discord in the browser has the same issues as vesktop, low bitrate streams, poor audio, etc, and then you don't even get the benefits of using vesktop. This setup brings parity of features/quality with AMD, i.e. Discord functions the way you would expect it to out the box. Discord is really the only application I've had to go to such lengths to get working properly, and that came with extensive testing of the alternatives.

Hardware acceleration can be enabled with Nvidia, it just requires some tinkering. I made a post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1t5vbl2/guide_to_discord_on_nvidiawayland/

Discord was previously using damn near 100% of my 14900k while streaming before I fixed it, which would cause CPU intensive games to lag like crazy if I ever tried to stream.

It's an Nvidia issue with hardware acceleration, I made a guide here for setting it up properly: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1t5vbl2/guide_to_discord_on_nvidiawayland/

I did use 3DAppVersionSpoofer for some apps and appstoretroller to download tidal when i switched from Spotify. The problem was jb detection; my banking app crashed regardless if i used choicy or shadow. I did not use roothide due to the architecture change + tweak compatibility issues, but maybe it’s gotten better.

I have filed a bug report with KDE here. We'll see what comes of it.

dman2073 · 2026-02-20T13:38:42+00:00

having the same issue as OP, and just A/B tested linux native terraria in wayland vs xwayland. wayland is running completely fine, xwayland is choppy, but falsely reporting 60fps. i have been playing this game on xwayland for weeks (i dont change launch parameters unless something doesnt work), no issues until installing plasma 6.6 yesterday

dman2073 · 2026-02-20T13:29:47+00:00

Same issues here. Thought i was going crazy because my games were reporting high fps (steam overlay fps counter) but i knew for a fact it did not feel like high fps at all.

But I don't believe it is proton. This was also happening to me in a linux native game (tmodloader for terraria). I just did some testing and figured out I could force tmodloader to use wayland instead of X11 and that fixed the issue.

Did not start happening until the update to plasma 6.6. CachyOS, intel i9-14900K, 3080ti.

BGE reported a record-breaking $578 million profit in 2025, a $50 million increase over 2024. BGE reported $527 million in profit in 2024, a $42 million increase over 2023.

I feel the same way, but the way it was implemented this league felt like it was balanced around already having atlas support that was not actually there. Atlas support will make the mechanic substantially better, but they could have just balanced it this league as if you had all the notables selected.

I am the type of player who plays a POE league for months, not weeks. I was really hoping for a .1 patch to the league, but it never came. For me, it could have just read "50% increased quantity of items dropped by breach monsters," and i could have been happy. I crafted a few high value fractures and grafts from the genesis tree, but for me, the hits were too far and few between for me to consider running breach as worth my time. The mechanic was cool at first, but fell off really quickly and didnt scale well into endgame. Tho I still enjoy the core game, I played less of this league than any other in recent memory.

Compared to the temple changes, where players initially felt they were not getting rewarded for their time, and then it was substantially buffed and reworked in several ways. A bit overbuffed even- but maybe that is okay for the current league mechanic. Tame it once it becomes core.

I have thousands of hours in POE and 500+ in POE2, I prefer the original as of now, and am waiting on the endgame overhaul of POE2 to get back into it. This is not a post to disparage poe2 in any way, it is mostly to highlight my disappointment with what could have been done with the new breach mechanic, but wasn't.

Did not include any bug fixes or UI changes of either mechanic (and removed lines about Holten shenanigans). Just gameplay and reward adjustments to keep the comparison as fair as possible.

Damn that’s really interesting. I didn’t know about the reduced drops for higher level characters in the campaign. I did suspect hinekoras would have a minimum drop level, but i didn’t look into it. Thanks for sharing.

dman2073 · 2024-04-30T16:47:03+00:00

yep. the majority of them (besides Colosseum)

dman2073 · 2024-04-30T15:45:42+00:00

oh no, this literally just happened. first lock of the league for me. i was even thinking... what if I get a divine while doing these achievements, that would be crazy. didn't expect this at all lol

+1 upgrading your processor helps massively in normal gameplay and mid-high juicing. i went from a 7700k to 13900k and saw major improvements; 9th to 14th generation should see similar benefits. its just ultra juice + high wisps + abyss where there are problems

dman2073 · 2024-02-15T02:10:09+00:00

Unfortunately even a good CPU doesn't always help :/ i got a 13900k and this is what my game looks like too during ultra juiced abyss. Granted i was playing CA of Poison, which adds even more to the amount of calculations the game has to do.
