My partner and I are running Manjaro and very new to it. Trying to switch as much as possible over to daily use with Manjaro. We have pipewire, not pulseaudio
We record multiple times a week on OBS, and my partner and I are in the same room. We have two mics side by side both inputs going into my PC. Linux, and therefore OBS, are recognizing the two mic inputs separately as you might expect.
OBS can set up both of these separate inputs, but the issue is we’re having significant problems with echo and the noise suppression/noise gates are not sufficient.
This was not an issue on windows, where we used Voicemeeter to combine our inputs into one mic for OBS. I am looking to emulate that on Linux to see if it solves our problems.
We have tried a mic merge sink, but it creates an OUTPUT device, not an input device.
Then it’s not echo you’re getting, it’s bleed. Y’all should look into kill switches for each mic. There are really great set ups that allow you to kill the mic whenever you are releasing a button or pedal, so as long as you get used to the habit of only pressing down when you’re speaking (very doable) that is also an option. Discord also support push to talk if you want the free/more hassle version.
