If you’re on ubuntu-based distro, install the ubudustudio package for pipewire that seems to fix a few things differently than other distros.

I would highly recommend installing qpwgraph. It’ll give you a visual patchbay, which will give you a better idea of what applications are exposing audio outs to pipe wire, as well as where those outs are being routed.

I installed it but I don’t understand how it’s going to help me troubleshoot “pipewire-alsa” I assume

I use it to make sure that:

  1. The application that should be making sound is showing up in the patch bay. If it’s not, that application probably needs its audio output settings tweaked

  2. The application is being routed correctly. I have multiple audio outs, and pipe wire allows for different applications to go to different outs simultaneously. The patch bay is an easy and quick way to check that config.

Tell us more about your set up, are you on a laptop or do you have an external usb Audio device?

blindbunny@lemmy.ml on 14 Sep 19:17 collapse

Laptop no external usb audio device

Do this:

sudo systemctl --user enable pipewire

Oh this one’s stupid on CachyOS, regarding Ardour. With Ardour (the latest versions I tested), I was unable to place down a MIDI region due to a Pipewire regression. I told my producer, Neigsendoig, about it, and he tested it. Same exact nonsense. This was reported to the Ardour forums to see what can be done about it.

I was able to fix this by switching to lts kernal, temporarily.
