I till now haven't figured out how to setup noise reduction in PipeWire. In Pulse, it was very easy. At the present, I'm using https://github.com/noisetorch/NoiseTorch.

This is one of the use-cases of EasyEffects, and one of the motivations behind my switch to pipewire. Select input or output, switch to the effects tab, and add the noise reduction effect.


Is this a general comment meant to apply to anything or are you specifically talking about Easy Effects here?

It has installation instructions in the README, links to a wiki page with more information (https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/wiki/Package-Repositorie...), the application contains full documentation under the "Help" item in the menu (as many applications do) and they also have the same documentation online (https://wwmm.github.io/easyeffects/).

Not sure what more you could ask for?
