Barnard uses OpenAL Soft for audio. By default it will pick the first available backend (often ALSA), but you can force a specific driver: Barnard uses OpenAL Soft for audio. The default backend order is determined by the installed OpenAL Soft build and its configuration; it is not guaranteed to prefer PipeWire or PulseAudio. You can force a specific driver:
- Command line: `./barnard --audio-driver pipewire` (or `pulse`, `alsa`, `jack`) - Command line: `./barnard --audio-driver pipewire` (or `pulse`, `alsa`, `jack`)

If PipeWire or PulseAudio support is missing, install OpenAL Soft with the corresponding backend enabled (e.g., `libopenal1` or `openal-soft` packages built with PipeWire). After changing drivers, rerun with `--list_devices` to confirm the desired devices appear.

Leaving `audiodriver` empty in the config keeps the OpenAL default ordering (PipeWire/Pulse first if available, then ALSA). Leaving `audiodriver` empty uses the OpenAL Soft default ordering from the installed library.
