How do I configure GX Sound to work correctly with my Linux audio system (PulseAudio, PipeWire, etc.)?Opera GX
I've been trying for hours to get GX Sound to work on my Linux gaming rig. I'm using PipeWire, and I've got a decent sound card, but nothing. I've fiddled with every volume slider I can find, checked my system's audio settings a million times, and restarted Opera GX so many times I've lost count.
I'm starting to think it's a Linux-specific issue. I've seen forum posts about PulseAudio conflicts, and I'm wondering if PipeWire is causing problems too. I'm worried I'm missing some crucial dependency or that there's a hidden setting I need to tweak. I've even tried digging through config files, but I'm just making things worse.
I'm a Linux user, and I'm a gamer. I love Opera GX, but this audio issue is driving me nuts. I just want the custom sound effects to work! Can someone please give me some clear, Linux-specific instructions? I'm tired of messing around and just want it fixed.

How can I disable or uninstall extensions in Opera?Opera for Windows
How can I disable or uninstall extensions in Opera?
I'm asking this because I've recently added some extensions to Opera, and now my browser is acting strangely. Specifically, my browsing has become incredibly slow. Pages take forever to load, and even simple actions like opening a new tab or scrolling are laggy. I also suspect an extension is causing annoying pop-up ads, even though I have an ad blocker enabled. On top of that, my default search engine has been changed to something called "SearchAwesome", which I never chose, and I can't seem to change it back in the settings. I suspect one or more of these extensions are the cause of the problems, and I want to disable or remove them to see if that fixes things. I recently installed extensions like "Video Downloader Pro," "Easy Shopping," and "PDF Converter," and I'm wondering if one of these might be the culprit.
I'm not sure how to manage extensions in Opera. I've tried looking in the settings, but I haven't found a clear way to disable or uninstall them. I'd like to know the correct procedure for both disabling an extension temporarily (in case I want to use it again later) and completely uninstalling an extension (if I'm sure I don't need it). Are there any potential risks associated with disabling or uninstalling extensions that I should be aware of? For example, will I lose any data or settings associated with the extensions? Also, if I uninstall an extension, is there an easy way to reinstall it later if I change my mind? I'm hoping to get clear instructions on how to manage my Opera extensions so I can troubleshoot these issues, get my browser back to working smoothly, and regain control of my search settings.
