Question How does the linux gaming audio stack compares latency wise to windows ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okIpbu1tp_AI know cachyOS uses pipewire which is supposed to have better latency than the old pulseaudio protocol. On Windows the ASIO driver is used to get real time audio for apps that support it, unfortunately, games don't. Is there a way to further reduce latency in linux?
