No input from sound card when using Pipewire
If you don't get any sound from the capture ports in Pipewire it could be
the the port is muted or has a very low wolume.
Run wpctl status | grep -A4 Sources| grep -i Stereo to check the
status and if it's muted and/or low run something like wpctl set-mute 49 0 ; wpctl set-volume 49 99%
(presuming your sound card is at ID 49)
If the stereo balance feels off it could be that the output channels have
different volume. Run 'pw-top' and check the ID of your "alsa_output".
Run pw-cli e 49 Props | grep -A6 channelVolumes to check the values and
something like pw-cli s 49 Props '{ channelVolumes = [ 1.0 1.0 ] }
to set them to the same level (again presuming your sound card is at ID 49)

Wine can't find MIDI devices using the live Xubuntu-20.04.2 image
If you boot a Xubuntu-20.04.2 live session, add the proper i386 packages
(most notably the libaudio2-plugins:i386 one), compile a 32-bit Wine and try to use it the Windows programs won't see any MIDI devices.
It works fine in using the Xubuntu-20.04.1 image
The reason is that there's something wrong with the
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf file in the live image.
The file itself is fine (the content is exactly the same as in 04.1 and
there are no permission problems) but something in the underlying filesystem isn't so
Wine can't use it, for some reason.
The workaround is to make a new copy of it :
mv /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.org && cp /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.org usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf

* For OpenOffice.org try this (http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=10183&p=64883):
1. Ubuntu: System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects Tab > None.
2. Open Office: Tools > OpenOffice.org Entry > View Entry > Uncheck "Screen

3. Ubuntu: System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects Tab >

* Opera:
Run this command in the terminal; "sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config"
then select "Autohinter", "Always" (for subpixel rendering on LCD display),
and "No" for Enable bitmapped fonts. Then, change in
System/Preferences/Appearance/Fonts to "Subpixel" smoothing. Viola! Problem
solved.
In the fonts
tab of the appearance menu, just below subpixel smoothing, you will see the
"Details" button, just click it and it will open up another menu, now in the
top left corner of the menu you will see an option to change the dots per
inch values, just keep lowering the values until you get to the right size
for the system fonts.
