Solus 4.1 is out with upgraded drivers, ESync support for better Linux gaming and more

Solus 4.1 KDE, has problem with sound.
So every time i install new linux to my PC, i need unmute middle and subwoofer for my 5.1 sound with alsamixer. Also need switch to my main sound card, but not to Nvidia HDMI output.
For now Only Ubuntu get default my soundcard, but not the HDMI one.
With Solus KDE i need switch from HDMI to my PCI-E sound card, then configure to 5.1 audio, then unmute the middle channel with alsamixer, that does not exist in Solus KDE. So need install alsa-utils first.
After all i done, i dont have system sounds, like probe my sound card channels to hear if all are working.
So after all, Solus KDE maybe are a good system, but have great problem with sound.
Sound card is:
Creative X-Fi 20K1
In SteamOS have great problem with 5.1 sound too, because every Linux distro have muted middle channel by default and i do not know why? And in SteamOS ot other OS that do not have alsamixer, i cannot unmute middle channel. For that i stick to Ubuntu for now.

And there already is hacker in PVP! He are in 1-st place because no one can kill his monsters. He kill my maxed out monsters with just one hit from one monster. He do to me tons of damage, but i do 1-5% to him. Every time i got PVP i need to fight with him only. Cannot choice noting. This is badest PVP in games i see ever!

Quoting: TheRiddickDoes it include FAudio that works with bethesda games?
Changelog say's this:
-FAudio with FFMpeg enabled (fixes audio/voices in multiple games)

So it will enable voices in Skyrim like games. Also compiling Faudio for yourself is so easy.

Canonical are now saying Ubuntu's 32bit is not being entirely dropped, 32bit libraries will be "frozen"

Valve, you'r options are: Manjaro/Pure Arch, Clear Linux, Solus, FreeBSD!

Valve looking to drop support for Ubuntu 19.10 and up due to Canonical's 32bit decision (updated)

If Valve move to FreeBSD, that will be great! Because BSD is more faster than Linux. Only AMD cards will have no binary drivers, so will force to use Mesa. For Nvidia is OK. PlayStation uses BSD already and we saw how it run.

Video recording and livestreaming software OBS Studio has released 23.2.0

I can never understand how to use this OBS for video recording(i will be thankfull if someone show in youtube, how to set OBS for 60FPS game recording with good image quality). Whatever i do, always get low quality image and high CPU usage. Or i got black screen video.... Update: i always get a black screen when try record game. When not record game, all is ok.
For this, i use SimpleScreenRecorder. So much easy and clean. Low CPU usage and very good quality for recording.

EDIT:
I figure out, how to fix OBS black screen when recording games in full screen.
For Nvidia, just need disable Allow Flipping in Nvidia Panel.


EDIT:
Here is my recording, using OBS with NVENC and fix for black screen. Game run extremely smooth with absolutely no impact to performance during 1080p60 record while gameplay.

Quoting: theghostMost important question:

Is the Skyrim SE sound bug (no NPC voice) finally fixed?
Use this one, and you will have all sounds. https://github.com/Kron4ek/FAudio-Builds [External Link]
