Welcome to the Linux Audio Wiki, the exhaustive reference for all things Linux Audio!

The wiki offers a lot of information on various aspects. Check out the [[apps:start|Application Database]] and the [[hw:start|Hardware Database]]. If you are new here, why not start with the [[wiki:introduction]]. The wiki is a community effort: //everyone// is welcome to [[open_discussion|suggest]] features, help [[editor_notes|updating]] wiki pages or joining the development team!

Aside from the wiki, there are numerous ways to get in touch with us:
  * discussion forum: [[https://linuxmusicians.com/|LinuxMusicians]]
  * mailing lists: [[:apps:all:lau|linux audio mailing lists]]
  * IRC: #opensourcemusicians and #lad (Linux Audio Developers) on irc.libera.chat ([[https://web.libera.chat//|web chat]])
