PulseAudio is a powerful cross-platform (meaning that it can be used in different operating system environments) sound server. You can use it to directly access your audio hardware and carry the audio signals to output devices.

The thing about PulseAudio is that (at least in my experience) it gives you all these…

Even though I came across some of these problems, fortunately, I have been able to fix them (so far). ‘Avidemux’…

For instance, let’s say that you recently upgraded your Kernel (a part of your operating system that communicates directly with the hardware), and the developers claimed that it will enhance the power consumption, then after the upgrade, how can you know if it has really decreased the power usage or not? So if you had some sort of a…
