# PipeWire 0.3.69 (2023-04-13)

This is a quick bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous 0.3.x releases.

# Highlights

• Reverted the UCM changes, they seem to cause regressions causing audio to be muted in some cases.
• Fix a regression in the scheduler where a driver node might not be marked runnable in some cases, like when echo-cancel is used.
• Handle links from the driver to itself. This makes the midi bridge work again.
• ALSA rate matching for sources was fixed. It would previously wait too long for rate matching and then cause drift. This should reduce crackling and stuttering whan capturing in low latency.
• Fix the GStreamer clock to make cheese video recording work again.
• More fixes and improvements.

# PipeWire

• Handle links from the driver to itself. This makes the midi bridge work again.
• Some man pages were improved.
• Fix a potential crash when thread-loop is destroyed before the loop.

# Modules

• A new raw biquad filter was added to filter-chain. You can manually set the 6 parameters and you can use this to create custom filters per sample rate.
• The echo-canceler now supports different channels for the capture and playback streams.

# SPA

• A SB Audigy specific profile set was added to make better use of the controls. (#2934)
• More ALSA IRQ based scheduling improvements.
• ALSA rate matching for sources was fixed. It would previously wait too long for rate matching and then cause drift. This should reduce crackling and stuttering whan capturing in low latency.
• The echo-cancel plugin API has a new method to make it possible to have different channels for capture, source and playback.
• Reverted the UCM changes, they seem to cause regressions causing audio to be muted in some cases.

# Bluetooth

• Many more BAP fixes and improvements. Devices are now created as a set and can be combined into one device by the session manager.

# GStreamer

• Fix the GStreamer clock to make cheese video recording work again.
