I have a budget PC and edifier r1280t bookshelf speakers. From day 1 of building my PC about 6 months ago, I was using fedora. I also have a MacBook pro and soon I realised that the speakers sound much better when connected to MacBook pro. I always thought maybe my motherboard dac is not good enough to drive these speakers. But few days ago I installed windows 11 on separate disk as I have some work with windows and I immediately observed that the speakers also sound very good with my PC on windows. What can I do to improve sound quality on fedora? I connect the speakers directly to motherboard I/O at the back which reads “line out” in fedora
OS: fedora 38 CPU: 4600g GPU: rx 580 16GB RAM Motherboard: ASRock b450m
I use a Topping DX1 DAC with Fedora for sending sound to my soundbar. It's great.
