Stop pipeline only — safe to run while making code changes

Stop all services

⚠ Change pipeline config (use drop-in, not main service)

cat /etc/systemd/system/news-pipeline.service.d/10-crd-audio.conf

View the active drop-in override — this takes full priority over the main service file

nano /etc/systemd/system/news-pipeline.service.d/10-crd-audio.conf && systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart news-pipeline

Edit chunk-seconds, model, or source — always edit the drop-in, not the main service

WHY: a drop-in file (10-crd-audio.conf) overrides the main service with CRD audio settings. Editing the main service file has no effect while this drop-in exists.

Audio / PulseAudio

See what Chrome is routing audio to (should show one Google Chrome line)
