Hi @i-am-logger , @ItsAllPeachy . libcava was synced with cava upstream. At least there was some major issue with pulse input which is solved. Can you update waybar. Make sure libcava-0.10.3 is used. Let me know about results. Thanks

[i-am-logger]

Thanks for the pointer to libcava-0.10.3 seems nix's waybar package installs libcava-0.10.1

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-24.05/pkgs/by-name/wa/waybar/package.nix#L76

[i-am-logger]

after update libcava to 0.10.3 i get this error:

my cava configuration is in ~/.config/cava/config

[i-am-logger]

"cava_config": "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cava/config",

missed this in the config...all good!
