Changing WirePlumber back to pipewire-media-session / webcam (BK-925FHD) & webcam-mic not working correctly

BK-925FHD Stream Webcam

  • image pulses between big pixels to normal (changes every ~second)
  • microphone has a very low and inconsistent tone, while testing in zoom.

Temporary Solution:
Moving back to pipewire-media-session let’s me work with zoom and the webcam.

Update of zoom from 5.7 > 5.8

I forgot that zoom is not an opensource project :thinking:
